Our family loves to travel! We have lived in New Zealand and Italy and we traveled the world for a year. We visited 17 countries and 29 states all with 4 kids in tow! We’re living stateside now but we still travel whenever we get the chance! Here are makeup, hair, and essential skincare packing items you need to bring on your next trip!
Top Skincare Essentials for Traveling
I don’t travel anywhere without my favorite skincare products. I’ve spent too many times regretting not packing my favorites that I’ve committed to always bringing my tried and true products so my skin is happy, no matter where I am! Depending on where you travel, the altitude, weather, humidity, and environment can affect your skin.
I think something that holds us back from packing our good skincare products is the size and space they take up. So I have the perfect solution for you! You can still bring your faves but invest in little bottles so you don’t have to take so much. It’s a game changer! The tiny bottles will fit into a quart size bag so you can carry your essential skincare packing items with you on the plane and you can keep them upright so they don’t spill.
Once I tried waterless skincare, I haven’t gone back to all the other garbage I used! It’s potent and powerful and so so good for mature skin. I don’t travel anywhere without it!
These are my essential skincare packing items that I never travel without!
Top Makeup Essentials for Traveling
Have you ever gotten your luggage lost or had your makeup leak while in transit? It’s the woooorst! It’s not fun having to go without your favorite makeup products. That’s why I never travel without my one compact makeup!! Everything I need, minus mascara, fits into one palette. It’s all cream and powder so it’s TSA approved and I can carry it on with me. This means if my luggage gets lost, my makeup won’t! And, since it’s solid makeup, nothing will leak or spill. It’s AMAZING!!

Top Hair Essentials for Traveling
You never know what kind of shampoo and conditioner the hotels or Airbnbs will have. So I always pack my favorite hair oils to help tame my mane! These are some hair essentials I never travel without so my hair always looks its best:
- H90 Hydroxytyrosol Hair Oil Serum– I use this oil as a scalp and hair treatment BEFORE I wash my hair. My hair is so much happier and healthier when I use this every time I wash my hair.
- Moroccanoil Treatment– I use this oil AFTER I wash my hair. I apply it on damp hair and either let it air dry or blow dry and it helps give my hair a healthy shine and tame the frizz!
- Flat Iron– I NEVER travel without my flat iron or hair straightener. It’s my hair’s bff!
Top Bags for Traveling
Along with beauty products, the bags you travel with are so important! You want your bags and luggage to be high quality, versatile, and space saving. Here are some bags I never travel without:
- Toiletry bag– I LOVE this bag! It holds all my toiletry items and then some! It hangs on a hook to make it easy to access. It’s a must!!
- Personal Carry-on bag– This is the perfect size for a personal carry-on item! I like to fit my toiletry bag, makeup bag, skincare products, computer, chargers, book, and snacks in this bag. It fits well under the airplane seat and it has lots of pockets to keep you organized. AND…it has a cool side pocket that allows you to secure it to your suitcase.
- Carry-on Suitcase– This is the BEST suitcase!! It’s the perfect size, the wheels move like butter, it has a lock, and fits great with the personal item bag. The quality is amazing and you can’t beat the price!
- Sapahn purse– I’m not exaggerating when I say that Sapahn purses are the BEST around! They’re handmade in Thailand, leather, and have the best style and color selection. I have too many of their purses to count!! All of their purses are the perfect addition to any travel outfit. Check out the best of their purses to travel with, but my personal travel faves are the Dominique and the Sarah Ann. Save 20% with this Sapahn discount code: JOELLEN20
