must have travel toiletries (amazon & affordable)

items honestly, part of why i hate traveling is that i'm such a “product” person. i like having all my little things, and they damn sure better be organized. this list is all my little mini essentials that i travel with to make my life easier

Packing
i now use this at home and for travel. I hate using a case and throwing brushes right into my makeup bag is not an option (gross). I loveee this case, it collapses up or down so they're covered, but easy to use and put back when travelling.
Travel Makeup Standup Brush Bag
i'm not a huge packing cube gal, but sometimes they do come in handy. these are awesome because they zip down so you can fit more in them
Aerotrunk Compression Packing Cubes
is it cute? no, in fact it's actually ugly. but i personally think a soft/flexible shell is the way to go (as opposed to a rigid one that takes up wayyy more room no matter what's inside.) Comes with multiple pieces, easily hangable. love it
Hanging Toiletry Bag Kit Set
Skin
i know some people like the little reusable containers (and they're more eco friendly), but personally i hate them. i think it's worth buying a little set, and BYOMA is one of my favorite drugstore brands
BYOMA So Hydrating Travel Set
another great little set by elf
e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Jet Set Hydration Kit
i've gotten to used to using my hypochlorous acid spray every day, but the more affordable brand i use doesn't have a travel size…. so for travel i use this!
Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray
this is my favorite cleanser, super affordable, so gentle, and great travel size
The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser
i love these for travel because when you're in a pinch for space, these drops work as both a hydrating serum AND a primer.
Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops
this should be in every must have list. perfect size, and perfect for travel if your face gets dry on planes, sensitive in different places, etc.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5
i typically use oil for my remover, but it's a nightmare to travel with. this one is a bit small, but love elf and their products from this line are so hydrating. perfect for travel
e.l.f. SKIN Mini Holy Hydration! Cleansing Balm
i personally prefer makeup remover oil or balm, but these are always great in a pinch
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes
if you're catching a theme, it's that i love elf. i also don't go anywhere without some sort of hydrating face mist on me. this is a great size, and smells so good
e.l.f. SKIN Hydrating Coconut Mist
when traveling, i like anything that has multiple use cases and benefits. this is my favorite because it's the perfect makeup but also SPF (although you should probably be using SPF under anyways….)
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA +++
already on my drugstore beauty must haves, but also a must have for travel. so affordable, and i always throw one sheet into my toiletry bag in case a new pimple pops up
Rael Pimple Patches
i always like to travel with a few of these, especially if traveling for an event. essentially $1 each!
grace & stella Caffeine Under Eye Patches
loveeee this SPF face mist, perfect size and easy to carry around and refresh your sun protection
Vacation Super Spritz Face Mist - SPF
Hair
this is my favorite travel oil. it IS expensive for the size, but i only use it on vacation, and a little but goes such a long way
Moroccanoil Treatment Oil
if you want to spend a lot less money for a bigger amount, i love this oil. just make sure you REALLY pack it into a ziploc incase it leaks
OGX Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Oil
hate spending $15+ on dry shampoo, but i'm very particular about dry shampoos, and only like the aresols. this is a great one and smells delicious
Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo
perfect travel set. shampoo, conditioner, and hair oil. all smells amazing. super affordable, and i'm very protective of my hair lol
OGX Renewing Argan Oil Morocco Travel Set
Other Essentials
this might sound stupid, but this is the best stain remover out there. the bottle is too large for TSA, but these wipes are the perfect alternative for any accidents while travelling
Emergency Stain Rescue Remover Wipes
a bit pricier but the use case def outweighs the cost. if you're someone who cares about being eco-friendly, LastObject has amazing products. also saves so much room when travelling
LastSwab® Reusable Cotton Swab
same as the swab! LastObject has great products for sustainability, reusability, and travel
LastRound® 7 Sustainable Reusable Cotton Rounds
i always like to have a little hand sanitizer on me, this is a great size and they honestly smell so good. fit's anywhere because it's so slim
Noshinku Refillable Hand Sanitizer 3-Pack
i feel like my mom recommending this, but i can't tell you how many times this has come in handy. stray hair? tweezers. chip a nail? clippers and file. so small too
Tweezerman Mini Neon Rescue Kit
i can't tell you how many times this little mirror has saved me. especially if i'm getting ready for an event with multiple people and mirrors are being used. the lighting is perfect and multiple settings
Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror
Body
perfect travel lotion, so cheap, smells so good
eos 24H Moisture Travel Body Lotion Vanilla
perfect individual wipes for travel (airplanes, hiking, etc.) to stay fresh
FOMIN Acidified Travel Deodorant Wipes
