Have trouble packing light? The Beauty Panel shares their top 3 hair and makeup travel essentials

by FASHION Staff July 11, 2013

One of the things we love most about summer is travel. From weekend cottage getaways to month-long journeys, ’tis the season to enjoy a vacation. However, no matter where you’re headed, the question of what to pack is always a concern—especially if you’re a beauty junkie. It can be hard to resist the urge to just pack your entire bathroom and be done with it.

But! Before you throw your every item you own and love into your beauty bag, allow our Beauty Panel members to share some advice with you. This week we challenged our beauty blogging experts to pick just three essential items they require while on vacation.

Challenge 19: When packing light for a summer vacation, what 3 must-have beauty products do you bring and why? See the answers now! »

Sure, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to picking travel essentials. But most of our panelists have one thing in mind: multi-purpose beauty products. With a limited amount of space, packing efficiently is extremely important. Sparkly Playground’s Joyce Wong is an expert when it comes time to packing for her travels. As a flight attendant, she shares the products that help her keep a clean, moisturized face—with UV protection—when she’s on the go. Both Twenty York Street’s Marilou Moles and A Pop of Colour’s Shayna Wiwierski suggested life-saving lip balms that not only cure chapped lips but work wonders on bites, minor burns and scratches! Nothing beats a multi-purpose beauty product that can solve all your little problems for a stress-free vacation. And SFYGF’s JJ Cowan brings it back to the beauty basics. Her backpacking experience through Southeast Asia taught her that sometimes the most essential beauty products are the ones that keep you clean—and well-rested.
