Makeup Wars Best Beauty Travel Essentials

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

The Makeup Wars! team is currently featuring our beauty travel picks, and since I travel a lot, I wanted to share my idea of perfect beauty travel companions. I used to travel with far too many products, and often even carried full-size containers, but I found it far too cumbersome, and quite frankly a waste of space. Therefore, I prefer to carry deluxe travel sizes whenever possible. I tend to streamline my makeup, and carry only the bare minimum in my purse (eye pencil, mascara, lipstick, lip balm, sunscreen and tinted moisturizer), but my skincare, haircare and other essentials are always carried in my overnight travel bag, and that is what I will feature here. 

African Botanics Departures Essentials Set ($225.00 from African Botanics and Credo Beauty): This is the ultimate travel set for anyone who loves ultra-luxe green skincare. African Botanics is the holiest of holy grail skincare for me, and therefore I use their products every single day. This set is perfect for me since I already use all of these products, and that means that I don't have to decant from my full size products into travel sizes (until I need to refill them). Below you will find a link to my review of each of the products in this set.

According to African Botanics,

Maintain glowing and healthy skin while traveling and exploring the world. Contains 7 luxury, travel-sized essentials to keep your skin supple, replenished, plump and well hydrated. Pure Marula Cleansing Oil, Baobab Clay Oxygenating Cleanser, Buchu Botanical Enzyme polish, Rose Treatment Essence and Mineral Cleansing Mask all work together to reinvigorate tired skin and improve the overall appearance of your complexion. Rich in antioxidants, Neroli infused Marula Oil and Intense Skin Repair Balm help regenerate cells, reduce redness leaving your complexion glowing.

This magnificent handwoven travel purse is crafted from authentic West African mud cloth (bògòlanfini) that reflects the centuries-old art of mud dyeing cotton and embellishing it with distinctive tribal patterns.

TATCHA Travel Must-Haves: TATCHA is such a beloved brand, and I always have several of their products with me when I travel.

TATCHA SILKEN Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 (reviewed HERE) ($68.00 for 2 oz. from TATCHA, Barneys New York and Sephora): This is a very effective sunscreen that is also available in a travel size, and when I know that I will be traveling for more than a few days, I tend to carry the full size tube in my travel bag and the travel size in my purse to reapply throughout the day.

TATCHA Luminous Dewy Mist (reviewed HERE) ($48.00 for 1.35 fl oz. from TATCHA, Sephora, Violet Grey and Barneys New York): This luxurious mist is he perfect refreshing pick-me-up while traveling, and it is especially wonderful to keep skin hydrated, soft and luminous during flights.

TATCHA Indigo Soothing Silk Hand Cream (reviewed HERE) ($38.00 for 2 oz. from TATCHA, Barneys New York and Violet Grey): This hand cream is such a treat to dry hands, and it effortlessly heals even the most chapped and irritated hands. This is one of my favorite products to take when I travel, and it leaves hands gloriously soft and smooth.

LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant Sport Luxe Travel Size (Reviewed HERE) ($8.00-$9.00 for  for 1 oz. and $16.00 for 1.8 oz. from Sephora, Ulta and Dermstore): This is such an effective, and healthy deodorant, and it's perfect for travel both in its diminutive size and in its formulation. Intended for people with active lifestyles, this deodorant offers protection even through a vigorous workout. The scent is a crisp floral that is warmed up by vanilla, and it is delicious!

According to LAVANILA,

This deodorant was created for life in motion. Lavanilla’s proprietary, award-winning beta glucan technology is infused with SmartSport™ for high-performance defense and nourishment, and bursts with long-lasting vanilla breeze freshness. SmartSport technology blends antibacterial, antimicrobial, and nourishing actives including rosemary, sage, Japanese green tea, and organic baking soda and has been tested under extreme conditions to break down sweat molecules and deliver superior, invisible, all-natural odor protection. The crisp vanilla breeze scent blends white jasmine with watery honeydew, green apple and a whisper of powdery vanilla.

This product is also free of harsh chemicals, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, aluminum, silicone, petrochemicals, propylene glycol, mineral oil, formaldehyde, and synthetic fragrance or dyes.

Marvis Whitening Mint Toothpaste ($7.50 for 1.3 oz. and $13.50 for oz. from Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Barneys New York, Sephora, Dermstore, Net-A-Porter and Urban Outfitters): This refreshing, whitening toothpaste is such a treat to use, and it's a definite travel favorite, but it's also a favorite for home use as well. It's definitely a more luxurious take on toothpaste, but it's worthwhile pampering.

According to Marvis,

A refreshing, creamy toothpaste in a mint flavor that whitens and protects teeth while freshening breath.

Featuring a sharp taste of cool mint for a pleasant and lasting freshness, this toothpaste carries out a whitening activity on your teeth for a beautiful, brighter smile. This original Marvis formula whitens and protects teeth, freshens breath, and helps prevent tooth decay, tartar, and plaque. It delivers a long-lasting, delightful flavor with a slight tingling sensation, and comes in a distinctive, display-worthy tube that makes the perfect bathroom accessory.
