If you, like me, lack the gene for ‘packing light’, travel can prove most problematic. Even if you’ve whittled down your wardrobe to a skeleton set (read: three Lisa Marie Fernandez maillots instead of seven), once you add your cosmetics bag the scales soar, and the last three hours of onerous decision-making become futile. But, it’s not exactly our fault. Recently, beauty packaging has bulked-up and become fanciful; and whilst grandiose tubs and hefty flacons sit pretty atop vanities, they are heavy and cumbersome and most certainly not flight-friendly. Lucky for us, brands have clued in and answered our packing problems with teeny, tiny, travel versions small enough to slide in just about anywhere.

Steer clear of the super-sized varietals and choose these miniatures who are both adorable and luggage-friendly. Baggage buddies for those hard-to-reach (and fit) places. Now, time to pack another pair of bikinis.
