Beauty Essentials That Will Fit Right Into Your Mini Bag And Lifestyle
Pack light with these products
If you're already packing for your next trip, you might want to ditch the full-sized beauty products. They are bulky, heavy, and take up precious space in your bags. In fact, while on the go, we believe in smaller, travel-sized products.
Now, more beauty brands have launched miniature versions of their beloved products. From skincare to makeup and not to mention fragrances, there are a ton of products that you can carry along with you if you’re planning to travel light.
To make packing for your next outing a breeze, whether you’re going to a cocktail party or brunch, ahead, we’ve gathered some of the best beauty essentials you need to cop, stat.

Kill two birds with one stone by using an eye serum like Chanel Sublimage L’Essence Fondamentale Yeux ($351), made with ingredients like vanilla planifolia and solidago extract to condition skin around the eye area and strengthen lashes. The brand’s N°1 De Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm ($72) is also perfect for touch-ups on a night out.
One Stud Micro leather bags, $1,950 each, Valentino Garavani
Small in size but big in its ability to smooth skin and make it picture perfect instantly, Fenty Skin Pre- Show Glow Instant Retexturizing 10% AHA Treatment ($52) is a must-have when you’re on the go. Comes with a wet reusable applicator.

Dior’s portable Eye Reviver Patches ($52) prove to be a necessity when you’re running on empty, and are so chic that they can be kept on during your commute.
