I'm not sure what the minimal liquid size for carry on is everywhere but as far as I know it should be 100ml in most places, I was afraid some of my makeup would be over that but nothing was so that was perfect. (I brought the minis of most things I could find to save space though). Other than makeup the most essential thing is makeup wipes or remover. I found that all of my cleansers and toners were over the limit so the best thing for travel is makeup wipes. Even if you don't need to remove makeup, they're so essential to help your skin and face fresh and awake after a long time travelling. I find that the Boots Essentials cleansing wipes are so good for my skin as I am super fussy about makeup wipes, my skin is so sensitive to them but these ones pass with flying colours.
The next product is a mini toothpaste, as it it something I always easily forget but is super important.
The next essentials are shampoos and body washes, although you usually get some in a hotel I find you don't get enough or you just want to take the mini bottles home with you. I picked up the Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo and conditioner from the Boots mini travel section, which is so amazing for travel as they have so much and always have great deals. I'd never tried these before and they smelled so amazing, like bubblegum and so sweet. The last thing to throw in your travel bag is clearly a deodorant or small body spray to help freshen up after long days. Also don't forget to bring a good book for all the waiting around for trains and planes etc. My book of choice was All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven which I am still currently finishing, so far so good though.
These are my travel essentials and what I brought with me on my most recent travel adventure which I will post about next week. What's everyone else's travel essentials? Is anyone travelling anywhere nice for the summer?
