Travel time
Travelling often has taught me the importance of having the right essentials on hand. From skincare to makeup and travel bags, these items can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth journey, whether it’s a long-haul flight or a quick trip. Maintaining a solid beauty routine is crucial for staying fresh and hydrated during travel. Nourishing face masks, rich moisturizers, and soothing lip balms are essential for combatting the dry cabin air and arriving at your destination looking your best.
When it comes to makeup, keep it light and natural with products that enhance your features without feeling heavy. Think lightweight foundation, reliable brow pencils, and versatile lip products for a radiant and polished look throughout your journey. Choosing stylish yet functional travel bags is equally important. A durable hand luggage piece and a spacious main bag add convenience and style to your travels, while a well-organized beauty bag ensures easy access to your skincare and makeup essentials.
In this blog post, I’ll share my top recommendations and tips for curating the perfect travel essentials kit, so you can stay prepared and fabulous on the go.

Beauty essentials
When it comes to beauty essentials for travelling, I’ve learned that packing smart is crucial for keeping my skin glowing no matter where I go. That’s why I always make sure to bring along hydrating face masks and sheet masks—they’re my go-to for rejuvenating my skin after those long flights. And let’s not forget about lip care! The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a lifesaver for keeping my lips soft and smooth, no matter the climate. I also swear by my favorite serums to address any specific skin concerns and ensure my complexion stays radiant throughout my journey. Plus, I never leave home without my trusty Touchland hand sanitizer to keep things clean on the go and my indulgent La Mer cream for that extra boost of hydration. These are the products I rely on, and with them in my bag, I’m always ready to take on any adventure with confidence and a fresh, glowing appearance!

Makeup essentials
When it comes to my makeup essentials for travelling, I always aim for a light and natural look that enhances my features without feeling heavy or overdone. I start by applying a light wear foundation to even out my skin tone and provide a subtle base. To brighten up my under eyes and cover any imperfections, I rely on my trusty Kosas concealer, which blends seamlessly for a flawless finish. For a touch of color and radiance, I love to add a hint of blush to the apples of my cheeks. A soft, peachy shade complements my skin tone and adds a healthy flush of color, perfect for achieving that natural, lit-from-within glow. No makeup look is complete without a touch of lip color, and for me, that means reaching for my Buxom lipliner and lipgloss duo. They provide just the right amount of color and shine while keeping my lips hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.

Other travel essentials
In addition to beauty and makeup products, there are a few other essentials I always carry in my hand luggage to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. My iPad is a must for entertainment on the go, whether I’m watching movies, reading, or catching up on work. Earphones are essential for blocking out noise and enjoying my favorite music or podcasts. A compact cardholder keeps my cards and cash organized and easily accessible.
But that’s not all. I also make sure to pack my Louis Vuitton agenda, which is indispensable for keeping track of tasks, appointments, and important reminders. It helps me stay organized and on top of my schedule, even when I’m on the go.
And let’s not forget about sunglasses! I always pack a couple of pairs to ensure I have options to match my mood and outfit. Whether it’s a classic aviator style or a trendy oversized frame, sunglasses not only protect my eyes from the sun but also add a stylish finishing touch to any look.
With these items in my hand luggage, I’m ready for anything travel throws my way, whether it’s a long-haul flight, a layover, or exploring a new destination.
