When it comes to packing, I've got my routine down. Over the years, I've perfected going just about anywhere with a carry-on suitcase by only taking staple pieces to wear. One area I'm still working on, though, is my cosmetics. Somehow I always end up with three or four bags of travel products [1], brushes, cotton balls, and everything else I use daily. I realised, if I had the right makeup bag that I packed efficiently, I would have a lot less clutter in my bag. So I decided to go on a mission to uncover the smartest and easiest choices the internet has to offer.
If you're also looking to get organised for all your Summer travel plans, then you've come to the right place. Ahead, I curated a list of my 11 favourite finds that are totally worth the money. From cute sets to useful lay-down options [2], no doubt you'll find your match. Keep reading to see which one belongs in your suitcase this season.
