I always somehow travel a few times a month, therefore, I feel confident saying that I have found the perfect carry-on friendly travel cosmetics bag! I swear by this PVC Leather-Trimmed Case from Anya Hindmarch. Forget about using a random zip-lock bag to transport your liquids through TSA screening – this is the perfect upgrade to make your carry-on travel a bit more chic!
After every trip, I take stock of what travel products I used and what needs to be replaced, so that I can easily restock the cosmetic case to be ready for the next trip. Below you can shop all my go-to travel cosmetics that I always have with me.
What’s In My Travel Cosmetics Bag
In-Flight Leather-Trimmed PVC Cosmetics Case from Anya Hindmarch
I have traveled with this plastic and leather cosmetic case countless times and it is the perfect place to store all my liquids and small products while I travel. The clear plastic makes the bag TSA approved for carry-on travel. I love that the bag has different zippered compartments (one for bottles and larger items) and another for flat items like contacts or wipes.
*Note this travel bag is a SPLURGE so another similar option at a lower price could be THIS or THIS!
Travel Containers from Cadence
I mainly try to find mini sizes for most of my cosmetic products (it is just easier if they are already pre-packaged to be small) but when I can’t find a small size I transfer the product into my Cadence containers. The hard shell containers come in a few different sizes and can store a range of items from lotions to pills. I typically use one to store my favorite moisturizer.
Cleansing Complex Face Wash (small size) from isClinical
I have used this simple gel face cleanser for years and it is just the best! I am so glad that I found a small size (2oz) to use when traveling.
Eye Drops from Lumify
If you wear contacts, I hope you know about Lumify. I swear by these eye drops, they are my all-around favorites. But what is also great is they help to target redness in your eyes!
Tide To-Go Pens
The amount of times I spill…it is so embarrassing! I have learned the hard way that it is ideal to always have one of these stain removing pens from Tide on hand. (I buy them in bulk!)
Cleansing Spa Water Cloths from Koh Gen Do
I swear by these makeup remover wipes, they are the best of the best! (And yes, I have tried the drug store alternatives – these are better!)
Complexion Stick from MERIT
I’ve shared about this product a lot on instagram – it is the perfect multipurpose makeup because it can be either a con clear or foundation, depending on how much you use. And the size is so small and compact, it is perfect to travel with.
(I wear shade Silk)
You Perfume from Glossier
I bought this Glossier perfume a little bit on a whim when I was at Sephora the other day but I have been really happy with it! It is not the perfume I wear everyday when I am at home (I wear this daily). But I have found this Glossier scent to be perfect for my cosmetic bag.
Ultrawear Lip from Chanel
For long lasting lip color – my go-to is this Chanel lipstick. It is just the best! I discovered it last year and now own it in a few colorways. It is one of the only lipproducts where the color remains pigmented on my lips after a full day of wear.
(I like the hues that are numbered in the 40s – Soft Rose, Light Rose, etc.)
