SWAP LIQUID FOR SOLID
Solid products are particularly handy for travel
because, unlike liquid varieties, there is no risk
of spillage or breakage. Substituting your glass
bottle of foundation for a super-convenient
wind-up stick is a great place to start. In fact,
thanks to the green beauty movement, many
brands are releasing solid versions of everything
from fragrance to shampoo and even cleanser.
There is pretty much no limit to what you can
find in a solid state. For weightless, full-coverage
make-up to touch up any time, TRY Revlon
ColorStay Life-Proof Foundation Stick,
$32; Ethique Hair Sampler, $25, offers
solid versions of shampoos, as well as
conditioners that double as shaving bars
or in-shower moisturisers.TRADE AEROSOL
FOR POWDER
It can be hard to forgo your
usual aerosol products in your
carry-on, such as dry shampoo
and even sunscreen, but a great
plane-friendly alternative is powders.
Not only do powder formulas usually
come in smaller sizes, but they also last
longer – meaning you don’t have to worry
about running out of something. TRY: While
you can pack aerosol sunscreen in your
luggage, a powder version such as Jane Iredale
Nude Powder-Me SPF Dry Sunscreen, $95,
means you’ve got sun protection for your face
and body from the moment you step off the
plane. Shake a little Angel Professional Angel
Dust, $26.50, on your scalp to keep hair looking
and feeling fresh in between shampoos – with
the added advantage of giving your roots a
volumisingboost.Goodbyehathair!INVEST IN TRAVEL MINIS
Not only are mini beauty products the cutest thingson
earth (have you seen a mini lipstick?), they are absolutely
essential for travel. Avoid any bulky packaging and invest avelminisof
your favourite products to see you through your time away.TRY:Just in time
for mid-year getaways, Australis has launched travel-friendlyversionsof its
best products, including Mini Fake It Volumising Mascara, $8.50. Likewise,
M.A.C Cosmetics has miniaturised 11 of its top-selling lip shades, including
this full power coral Mini Lipstick in Tropic Tonic, $24.OPT FOR SINGLE-
SERVE SKINCARE
We know the importance of caring for
your skin during long-haul flights and how
difficult that can be – enter single-serve
skincare. The idea behind this is everything
is pre-packaged into plane-friendly sizes,
meaning you take away the exact amount
needed. Examples include sheet masks
and capsule serums which take up no
room, plus there’s no risk of spillage.
TRY: By using Estée Lauder Advanced
Night Repair Ampoules, $225, you don’t
have to cart bottles of serums around with
you. Just pack the number of ampoules
you need. An 8+ Minute Replenishing
Hydration Mask, $30 for 8, is the perfect
skin pick-me-up after a long flight – or even
in-flight if you’re brave!tra l46 New Zealand Woman’s Weekly
