The Top 9 Travel Beauty Products

the best travel beauty products
I travel for work a LOT. It seems I'm on a plane almost every week -- and I absolutely despise checking a suitcase. So, naturally, I've amassed quite the collection of beauty products perfect for travel. (Side note: products over 3.4 fl. oz. are my own personal nemesis.) Read on toe see which products should definitely make their way into your carry-on.

Benefit It's Potent! Eye Cream
I've tried many, many, MANY eye creams over the years. And while I have a few favorites, this is quickly becoming one I don't leave home without. It gets rid of dark circles and hydrates the under-eye area, both of which I need on sleepless travel nights.

Philosophy, Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleansing Cloths, cleansing wipes, face wipes, cleanser, skin, skincare, skin care, the best travel beauty products
Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleansing Cloths
I'm not going to lie -- I'm pretty lazy when it comes to cleansing my face. Plus, cleanser is definitely not on the top of my list in the products I absolutely need to pack. I have tons of cleansing wipes, but these consistently make their way into my suitcase because of their fresh scent and their ability to consistently remove every stitch of makeup and debris.
$15 at sephora.com

Bliss, Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Butter, body cream, lotion, the best travel beauty products
Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Butter
There is absolutely nothing worse than the dry skin that occurs after sitting on an airplane. So much moisture is sucked out of the skin just in a one-hour plane ride -- so I always travel with my miniature tube of this sweetly scented body cream for instant hydration.
$8 at sephora.com

Bath & Body Works, Bath & Body Works Travel Size Shower Gel Warm Vanilla Sugar, shower gel, body wash, the best travel beauty products
Bath & Body Works Travel Size Shower Gel
If there's one thing I absolutely need to bring with me when I travel, it's a great body wash. Strangely, many don't come in travel-friendly sizes! But luckily, Bath & Body Works is here to save the day with minis in all their most fabulous scents. I tend to gravitate toward Warm Vanilla Sugar, but they've got so many to choose from that you're guaranteed to find a scent you love.
$5 each at bathandbodyworks.com

Tweezerman, Tweezerman tweezers, Tweezerman slant tweezers, the best travel beauty products
Tweezerman Slant Tweezers
Sometimes you just have a tweezing emergency. Well, when that happens, reach for a pair of Tweezerman tweezers! Whether you like the pointy or the slanted (I prefer both for different types of situations), there are tons of colors and prints to choose from that will both brighten up your travel bag AND rid your face of any unwanted hairs in a flash.
Around $15 at beauty.com

Sephora, Sephora Collection Instant Nail Polish Remover, nails, manicure, nail lacquer, nail varnish, the best travel beauty products
Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover
I think it's pretty obvious by now that I'm obsessed with doing my nails. And when I'm traveling -- even if it's only for a day or two -- I need different nail polishes at the ready for my daily manicures! Rather than carry around a big bottle of nail polish remover, though, I've taken to stowing a tub of this lifesaver in my carry-on. Just dip your finger in, swirl it around a bit and let the remover-soaked sponge work its magic. Immediately.
$9.50 at sephora.com

The Body Shop, The Body Shop Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask, face mask, skin, skincare, skin care, the best travel beauty products
The Body Shop Vitamin E Sink-In Moisture Mask
When your skin is parched, treat it right with this face mask. I like to slather it on right before bed and just sleep with it -- and then I wake up to beautiful, glowing, gorgeous skin!
$22 at thebodyshop.com

Stella McCartney, Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Purse Spray, fragrance, perfume, the best travel beauty products
Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Purse Spray
Want to smell divine? This is the scent for you. A blend of rose, amber and peony flower are at once sexy, sensual and alluring -- and you'll be told you smell amazing all day (and night) long.
$50 at sephora.com

Serge Normant, Serge Normant Meta Revive Volumizing Dry Shampoo, hair, hair products, dry shampoo, the best travel beauty products
Serge Normant Meta Revive Volumizing Dry Shampoo
Let's be honest. Who wants to carry around shampoo, conditioner, shine serum and all the rest when you're traveling and have limited space in your quart-sized Ziploc? Not me, that's for sure. So I reach for my trusty dry shampoo on days when my hair is looking a little worse for wear. This is the absolute best one I've tried -- it soaks up excess oil and grease in seconds, doesn't make hair feel crunchy and doesn't leave behind a weird smell. Basically, it's perfect.
