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.

Travel bags and suitcases

When it comes to travel bags and suitcases, I always opt for pieces that combine style and functionality. My Louis Vuitton hand luggage is a staple—it’s both durable and chic, making it perfect for any trip, whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer adventure. The timeless design and quality craftsmanship ensure that it can withstand the rigors of travel while still looking elegant.

For my main bag, the Hermès 40 is ideal for travelling. It has plenty of space to accommodate all my essentials and more, and its luxurious feel adds a touch of sophistication to my journey. The spacious interior and sturdy design make it practical for carrying everything I need, from clothes to travel documents, without compromising on style.

I also never leave home without my Louis Vuitton beauty bag. It’s a must-have for keeping all my beauty essentials organized and easily accessible. The compact yet roomy design allows me to carry all my skincare, makeup, and other beauty products neatly in one place. Plus, its iconic design means I always travel in style.

With these bags, I travel in style and ensure all my belongings are well taken care of. They not only meet all my practical needs but also add a sense of luxury to my travel experience, making every trip a little more special.

Outfit essentials

When it comes to outfit essentials for travelling, I always aim for a balance between comfort and style. I know many people swear by sweatpants for flights, but I prefer to maintain a polished look even when I’m on the go. Instead of sweatpants, I opt for well-fitted jeans or comfortable sets that are both chic and practical. The Row Gala pants are a favourite of mine; they offer elegance and comfort in equal measure. I pair them with a simple yet stylish Uniqlo T-shirt for a laid-back yet refined look.

For those longer flights, a comfortable cashmere set is my go-to, providing warmth and luxury without sacrificing style. Pair these with versatile sneakers and you’ve got an outfit that’s perfect for navigating airports and arriving at your destination looking effortlessly stylish.

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.

With these essentials in my bag, I can effortlessly maintain a fresh and natural makeup look, ready for any adventure that comes my way. Whether I’m exploring a new city or relaxing on the beach, my makeup is simple, understated, and perfectly suited to the occasion.

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.
