TRAVEL ESSENTIALS: YOUR FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS TO TAKE EVERYWHERE THIS SUMMER
By Amandine Rouhaud | On Thursday 31 July 2025
When it comes to vacation, it’s all about the airport. And at the airport, it’s inevitably about the suitcase. This is where the puzzle begins. Limited by baggage weight, we often have to forgo some of our favorite products. But what if, thanks to travel-sized beauty products, we no longer had to make choices? Find all your beauty favorites in mini formats to slip into every suitcase.
MINI FORMAT, MAXI EFFET
Whether it's for a weekend getaway, a few days, or several weeks, summer vacations are often all about a light suitcase. No need to overload yourself with three swimsuits, a pair of sandals and a few light clothes, right? But if there's one thing that causes the most trouble: it's the toiletry bag. Or rather, what to put inside...
What are the beauty essentials and how to limit the weight to get through airport security? Here's the answer.
What formats are allowed in the airplane cabin?
It's always the tricky question when packing for summer: what can you, or can't you, bring in your carry-on on the plane? Airline regulations are clear: when traveling with just a carry-on bag, each beauty product cannot exceed 100 ml. When passing through security, you are required to present your beauty products in a transparent plastic bag, with the regulatory dimensions of 20x20cm and a capacity of one liter.
Creams, aerosols, nail polish, and liquid beauty products are therefore accepted as long as the quantities are respected! The best option? Focus on travel-sized essentials!
How to optimize your toiletry bag when traveling?
Choose a pouch that is as practical as it is versatile. The brand The cherry on top combines practicality with playful design, making it easy to carry all your travel-sized products for vacation!
¿Are you the type of Miss or Mister disaster? Look to the Danish brand Rains. Made from water-resistant material, the toiletry pouches Rains will withstand all conditions.
What does the ideal travel kit contain?
It's the big question. How to optimize your toiletry bag so it only contains beauty essentials? The answer is simple: by focusing on your travel favorites! From makeup remover to the hair routine to face care and body care, today, most beauty brands offer their essentials in mini formats.
A lovely way to never compromise on your skincare, especially not for a suitcase with weight limits!
Step number one: find alternatives! Swap your usual favorites for others that will save you space. For makeup remover? Go for the wipes Collosol. A great way to save space while opting for quality products!
Heading to the sun?Ritualsoffers a summer vacation set perfect for the beach! Sunscreens and shimmering body oil come in a mini size that's ideal for slipping into your suitcase.
Another undeniably practical format: the sunscreen stick. It's THE revolution of the moment. While Korean brands have already set the trend, new labels are following suit and offering sunscreen in stick form. Convenient!
No way to neglect your dream hair even during vacation. Especially during vacation... Les secrets de Loly, Leonor Greyl or even Cut By Fred offer their essentials for all hair types in mini sizes.
What travel-sized makeup should you pack in your suitcase?
When it comes to makeup as well as skincare, it's all about maximizing efficiency! Focus on the essentials for a subtle yet striking look. No matter that the clean girl era is over, away from your bathroom, it's about playing the effectiveness card.
Narsoffers its Climax mascara in travel size, one of the must-haves. Mini size, maximum effect. Known for its effectiveness on the most difficult lashes to tame, this mini mascara is undoubtedly the number one product to take with you. But that's not all.
¿The makeup brand Nars presents THE iconic duo designed for summer evenings. Comprising a bronzer powder and a lip oil, this limited edition duo beautifully enhances freshly tanned complexions.

¿In summary, the ideal travel kit requires a slight revision of your routines. Opt for simplicity and your must-have products that you won't find on-site. Go for mini sizes that combine practicality, airline regulations without compromising on quality or effectiveness. A few well-chosen travel beauty kits, whether for the face, body, hair, or for a beauty touch-up, and you'll have the best toiletry bag for your vacation!
