It’s the time of the year where everyone seems to be packing their suitcases and jet setting around the globe. Hello summer! As I prepared for my trip to Greece I couldn’t wait to share with you all some of my favourite travel products. I’m a firm believer in not having to compromise on beauty and style because of limited luggage space, so I’ve rounded up my top travel picks which I promise won’t weigh you down! 

Little Burgundy Hibou Surf City Tote – I love this bag because it’s large, lightweight and versatile. It folds perfectly into my suitcase, and transitions seamlessly from the beach to the town. You’ll catch loads of pictures of me rocking this bag around Greece, as it was my go-to during this trip. The pom pom’s and tassels add a cute and colourful touch, and they’re easily removable in case you want to add your own flair and replace with a cute scarf or accessory.

Elta MD Sunscreen – This oil-free, dermatologist tested sunscreen is perfect not only for vacations, but for everyday wear. I put this on before my make-up every morning, and it absorbs into my skin in seconds without leaving behind that oily feeling  some sunscreens tend to do. To top things off, it’s fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free and sensitivity-free.

First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser – You never know how your skin is going to react to a new environment, so I opt for this fragrance-free, gentle cleanser to remove make-up and impurities when traveling, as it’s ideal for sensitive skin.

Lancome Rouge in Love Lipstick – While on vacation I try to keep my make-up routine as simple as possible, allowing my skin breathe in the heat. While I’m not covering up with concealer and bronzer, this red lipstick is the perfect way to add a burst of colour and keep things looking fun and fresh. The 159B Rouge In Love colour is my ideal shade of red …j’adore!

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner – The long-lasting effect of this stay all day eyeliner is perfect for vacations because it’s smudge free and waterproof, so you won’t find yourself having to touch-up throughout the day. I personally rock this eyeliner in the evenings when I’m heading out for dinner, but for those who prefer a daytime eyeliner this is great brand for your travels.

Ray-Ban Sunglasses (similar here) – As we all know, squinting causes premature wrinkles, so these classic Ray-Bans are a must-have for sunny, summer travels.

Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Organic Hand Sanitizer – From the airport to the plane to hotel , germs are bound to greet you. Dr. Bronner’s organic Fair Trade sanitizer is a handy size for your bag, and the scent of lavender can double up as a deodorizer.

Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths – Spill something? Dealing with a little ice cream meltdown? We’ve all been there! With these Cottonelle flushable wipes you can keep yourself clean and fresh all day long.

Alterna Haircare Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Oil Mist – Humidity can do a number on your hair when travelling to hot countries, so let me share with you all one of my best kept hair secrets. This kendi oil may just help you avoid a Monica from Friends moment, as it eliminates frizz and imparts shine. Apply to damp hair before you blow-dry, and if the frizz starts kicking in during the day, a couple squirts of this oil is the perfect remedy to tame your mane. For more control, try spraying the oil on your hands and distributing throughout your hair.

Kate Spade Fancy Meeting You Colorblock Webbing Sun Hat – Whenever I’m travelling somewhere hot, or warm …or luke-warm, my collection of summer hats is never far behind. Protecting yourself from the sun isn’t just about loading on the sunscreen, it’s about shielding yourself from the sun and its rays. This Kate Spade hat is one of my favs, as it easily folds into my suitcase and pops back into shape when I’m ready to wear it.

Topshop Rose Flower Headband – While this may not be an essential, it’s way too cute to pass up! Practicality at its finest folks.
