Packing is one tidious task but finding last minute travel essentials for women like us who love style and connivence is another. Whenever I’m getting ready to pack for a trip one of the first things I think about is how much makeup I’m going to pack & how to make the traveling process as convenient as possible. When it comes to traveling comfort, convenience, ease and organization are key.
Travel Essentials for Women
3 Piece Stripe Makeup Bag For Women
My makeup bag is one of the first items I think about packing when it’s time to travel. And space is a big determining factor when deciding which bag to purchase. This Burberry inspired makeup bag is spacious and would double as a cute day bag to hold essentials for a day at the beach.
Glasses Organizer
During my most recent trip to the Bahamas, this is the one item I regret not adding to my chart. My mom and I were constantly misplacing our sunglasses in the hotel room and one got slightly bent from laying in the suitcase. The glasses case has 5 individual spots to safely hold your sunnies and can be easily stored in your carry-on or suitcase.
Passport/Vaccine Card Holder
Last thing you want to happen on vacation is to lose any important items. Especially if you’re traveling out of the country. This passport holder can hold your passport, vaccine card, a couple credit cards and even 2 SD cards. I love how minimalistic the design is, reminds me of a Kate Spade wallet.
Hard Carrying Case for Charger & Phone Accessories
It’s bad enough not being able to do an arm length stretch without accidentally hitting someone. So, you can imagine the struggle us girls have while searching for our phones under the seat in front of us. Having all your phone essentials in one spot makes it super easy to grab and use when you’re ready for some entertainment.
Refillable Perfume Spray Bottles
You know that feeling you get when you fear TSA is about to throw out your entire makeup bag? Well that’s how I felt when I forgot to downsize my perfume bottle. Luckily it was exactly 3.0 fl oz. But all that anxiety could’ve been avoided if I took the time to fill up one of these mini perfume bottles.
Makeup Brush Case & Holder
This makeup brush case was so genius because it doubles as a brush holder. Having a portable makeup brush holder helps prevent any extra bacteria from getting on your brushes. All your brushes will be clean and in one place the entire trip.
Vegan Leather Makeup Bag
This is a cute LV inspired makeup bag. I’m all for a look-for-less kind of deal. Unlike a lot of makeup bags this one has 2 deep pockets and one zipper compartment to keep things nice and organized.
Lash Storage Case With Mirror
Traveling with multiple lash containers can easily take up so much space in your makeup bag. This storage case can hold 3 of your favorite lashes and even comes with an eyelash tweeker to match.
Hard Carrying Case for Charger & Phone Accessories
I’ve seen this travel dispenser ALL over TikTok and thought it was just a really cool water bottle lol. After further investigation I found that it holds 4 different 1.4 oz containers. This is absolutely perfect for the beach! You have your lotion, sunscreen, perfume, and water all in one container.
Hard Carrying Case for Charger & Phone Accessories
Now, this is something I wish I found a long time ago. It’s almost inevitable that once you’re at your designated gate you’ll find yourself thirsty or hungry. This cup holder helps to free up your hands from your carry on and personal bag that you’ll already be holding. Plus space for your loved one’s drink.
Snake Print Disposable Face Masks
This brand WeCare has so many fashionably cute face masks in all different prints. You’ll definitely be able to find one to match your eyeshadow or any outfit you pack.
Luggage Strap
This is one of those items you don’t think about until you’re in a situation where you realize your handbag is too heavy for your shoulders. Sometimes we tend to overpack our carry-ons and try to stuff our personal bags to the max. Only to be left with shoulder pains while waiting in the long TSA. Save your shoulder and get you a luggage strap.
Universal Handsfree Airplane Phone Mount
The goal is to make your plane ride as comfortable and convenient as possible. You can clip your phone to the tray in front of you and enjoy your favorite Netflix show that you actually remembered to download. And relax.
Toiletry Bag With Hanger Hook
This bag was so convenient for my trip! I didn’t have to keep searching for any of my smaller beauty items; they were all in one place hanging neatly in the closet. The bag even comes with a clear TSA bag where I was able to store all my makeup essentials separately for my toiletries items. Definitely a must have.
