On the go beauty

Having a small bag of beauty staples is an easy and compact way of keeping the essentials close to hand. Whilst out and about we often feel the need for something that's not easily available, but this little bag will keep you equipped for anything...


Starting with perhaps the most crucial ? Hand sanitiser and cream. Whilst in the summer hand cream maybe isn't necessary, in the colder months its crucial. The Soap and glory hand food is the perfect little tube of goodness to spice up your moisture routine in winter. The packaging is compact, sanitary and not too bulky. Not only this, but it smells divine- the classic Soap and Glory fragrance!

To pair with this, Body Shops cleanse hand gel gives a squeaky clean feel and comes in many delicious scents, pink grapefruit being a personal favorite, with the perfect blend of cotton candy sweet and zesty, tangy citrus.

A lipstick for the day is crucial, and for a day to night color that will instantly revamp your look, swipe Bare Minerals Pop of Passion Lip Balm in 'Punch Pop' for a bold pink red. Alternatively for a day look, lightly pat and blend for a subtle hint of color. For a night out, dust a little powder over the lips to lock the color in place all night! No7's Pressed Powder will do the job perfectly. Take Eco Tools Concealer brush to dust a little in necessary areas.

Lip balm wont go a miss either, as lips dry throughout the day, to top up on hydration with some of Malin + Gotez's soothing Lip Moisturizer. Don't forget about the cuticles either, nourish them with some No7 Cuticle and Nail cream.

A perfume mini, roller ball or sample that can be applied in seconds and top up your favorite scent is yet another necessity. Body Shop do some great purse sprays, whilst if you want to take your signature fragrance, Travelo will allow you to take a few squirts of any perfume.

If you have knotty or tangle prone hair, a small comb or hairbrush will allow you to keep smooth, frizz free hair. A little mirror and few spare bobby pins are also a great additions to your carry on.

Keys, phone and wallet are the most important things to remember whenever you're heading out, so don't forget those few essentials!
