I find stripping all my haircare, skincare and body bits back to the bare essentials SO difficult. I'm always paranoid I'll forget something important and be without it for a week! This time around I packed up my beauty bits a few days in advance and then used that on a day to day basis so that I had time to figure out if anything was missing!
Although this looks like a lot of stuff, it all fits into one little bag (the bag was a Fifi Lapin Harvey Nichols Collaboration), and I've got all my bases covered!
Starting with haircare! I have a mini Dove shampoo and conditioner that I picked up in Boots for just under a pound each. They're a hydrating formula which isn't normally what I'd go for but it'll be fine for a week, plus because I reverse wash my hair it shouldn't be too slippy! They're both the perfect size for a week so I should be able to ditch them at the end of the week to save space in my case on the way home! I've also packed a Tresemme 60 sec Deep Conditioning shot, because I like to use something a little heavier on my hair once a week just to keep my ends looking healthy. This is a super tiny one use tube, so again I'll be able to leave this behind! For post shower I've packed the V05 Nourish My Shine Miracle Illuminator which is an amazing multipurpose product. I use this as a post-shower detangler, and as a de-frizzer for styled hair, and it also contains heat protectant, so it kinda does three jobs in one. Also for hair I've packed a mini Colab Rio Dry Shampoo, because I use dry shampoo every day to style my hair (side fringe problems), and a hairspray by L'Oreal.
Moving on to skincare, to take off my makeup I've got a sample size of the Balance Me Cleansing Balm, which is perfect even when you're battling waterproof eye makeup, and then The Body Shop Nutriganics Foaming Cleanser to follow up with. I've also packed the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream to use as a moisturiser, but that's in my hand luggage! I've got a sample of the Benefit It's Potent Eye Cream, and a deluxe sample of the Balance Me Radiance Face Mask, just because my skin has a habit of acting up when I travel! For toner I've chucked in my Lush Tea Tree Toner, and for any pesky spots I've got Lush Grease Lightening, both of which are super travel friendly.
And lastly just two bits for body, Dove's Deeply Nourishing Body Wash, and an adorable travel size of The Body Shop's Gingerbread Body Butter saved from a gift set last year. Dinky and festive!
