My Travel Beauty Essentials!!
This summer, I'm keeping my beauty routine simple, effortless and travel-friendly. These are the products I'll never leave home without, the tried-and-tested essentials that help me look and feel my best, wherever I'm headed. From glowing skin to easy holiday hair and a timeless fragrance, these are my summer favourites.
Meet the Mini Splash Set...
everything your skin needs, wherever you're going.
This little bag of goodies has you covered for your trip away. Packed inside a lightweight, splash-proof wash bag are our three signature skincare heroes in recyclable, cabin-friendly jars, delivering an incredible 13 beauty uses between them.
I love products that work hard, especially when I'm travelling. Why pack six products when three can do it all? From cleansing and moisturising to nourishing sun-kissed skin, treating holiday 'fizz' and soothing dry lips and cuticles, these multitaskers earn their place in every suitcase.
We've also included Altruist SPF 50, a soft cotton face cloth, an eco-friendly wooden comb and a bamboo spatula, so everything you need is together in one beautifully practical bag.
One bag. Three multitaskers. Thirteen beauty uses. Ready to go wherever you are.
What FOUNDATION?
Everyone asks me, what did I use! When I'm travelling, I like my makeup to be quick, effortless and never sticky. That's why I always pack Make Up a La Carte’s Mineral Foundation. It's light, breathable and so easy to apply, whether you're getting ready in a hotel room or touching up on the go.
I never travel without both Magnolia and Caramel. Having two shades means I can adapt to changing skin tones, blend seamlessly and create a natural, sun-kissed finish. Just layer lightly with a good brush, and you're ready for anything.
The all important Hair Care products
My hair favourites this summer have to be Sam McKnight's Cool Girl Volume Cleanse Shampoo in the beautiful blush pink bottle, alongside the iconic Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist in its lavender can. The shampoo leaves hair feeling beautifully clean, full of body and shine without weighing it down, while the texture mist gives that effortless, 'done-undone' look we all love. Lightweight, brush-able and beautifully scented, they're the perfect duo for holiday hair that's relaxed, fresh and never over-styled.
The make-up must!
I'm never one for wearing lots of makeup on holiday, but a good mascara is non-negotiable. Ruby Hammer's Mascara & Brow Duo has been a favourite of mine for some time. I love the slim brush, it catches every lash, separates beautifully and gives definition without clumping, while the brow gel keeps everything softly groomed, just the way I like it. It's the perfect two-in-one for a fresh, natural look with minimal effort!

A scent I’ll always return too.
When it comes to fragrance, I've gone back to an old favourite, Jo Malone's Amber & Lavender. It's elegant, warm and wonderfully calming, with just the right balance of soft lavender and rich amber. It's one of those timeless scents that instantly transports me to slower, sun-filled days, making it the perfect holiday companion.

The pre-holiday groom.
A little pre-holiday grooming goes a long way, I always have my brows and lashes tinted and nails done before I travel. It means I can wear less makeup, feel polished from the moment I arrive and spend more time enjoying the sunshine than getting ready!
