Travel Sized Kits to Keep You Looking Great on the Go

By Jane Hotspur , last updated July 24, 2011

Bringing along a travel-size beauty kit on your next adventure can make it much easier to look great when you are on the go. Realizing this, many beauty experts now recommend bringing along some make-up, stain wipes, a hairbrush and toothbrush that is easily accessible when travelling. However, these products can often not be easily carried so that they can be accesses when on a plane, for example, or at a rest stop. It is therefore advised by some that women create or buy a smaller travel kit that can fit neatly inside a purse or carry on.

Some travel websites, such as Flight 001, have developed premade travel packs that include essential products such as a travel sized toothbrush, hairbrush and stain wipes. Yet many women have chosen to make their own travel beauty kit so that they can use their favorite products to freshen up no matter where they are.

Beauty stores such as Harmon's and Sephora have begun to sell beauty products such as mascara, hand cream, and foundation in smaller sizes, which many women use to make their own travel-sized beauty kits. These smaller sized products are often located near stores’ registers and can sometimes be found online.

Most makeup counters at department stores such as Macy's or Nordstrom's, for example, also give their customers sample sizes of their products. Many women have incorporated these samples into their self-made travel kits so that they can look great while on the go.

For those who have trouble finding smaller sized versions of their favorite makeup, bottle sets have helped them to create their own travel sized beauty kit. Most pharmacies are now selling sets of clear plastic bottles that come in a variety of sizes. These bottles can then be filled with any beauty product to help you look great while travelling.

Makeup aside, many women may worry about getting stains or lint on their clothes, dental hygiene and their hair while travelling. Recognizing these concerns, most beauty stores and pharmacies have begun to sell small hairbrushes, toothbrushes, toothpastes, mouthwashes, lint rollers and stain wipes. These smaller-sized products can be incorporated into homemade travel kits and help women to continue to look great even if they are enduring a long car ride or have a short-haul flight.

While it has become easier for women to look great while travelling by making their own travel-sized kit or buying a pre-made one, before making or purchasing one, you should ask yourself about where you are going and what you will need to look great while on the go. Tailoring your kit to your needs will allow you to freshen up and continue look beautiful no matter where you are.
