Looking good wherever we go is a priority for us beauty lovers, but it does get stressful dragging along three suitcases full of skincare and makeup. Thankfully, our favourite brands have done us a favour by giving us travel minis to make travelling ten times easier. Here’s a list of all the travel minis you need for a relaxing holiday.
Sol De Janeiro Strengthening + Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner
These minis contain a sulphate-free, colour-safe formula infused with organic oils and ingredients providing an array of benefits for your hair. The Brazil nut oil nourishes and restores shine to your hair and the buriti fruit extract controls frizz and moisturises dry hair. This cute little 90ml bottle will last you throughout your trip, keeping your hair feeling healthy and looking incredible the whole time.

L’Oreal Hairspray by Elnett
One of the best hairsprays on the market has a travel-size version too, keeping your hair locked in place all day, throughout sun, rain or humidity. Choose from normal hold, strong hold or extra strong hold. Normal hold contains a lighter formula allowing for natural hair movement, strong hold keeps a stiffer hold on the hair and extra strong hold keeps your hair completely locked in place. The product protects your hair from humidity and disappears as soon as you brush your hair through – ready for re-styling.
