As the crisp autumn air begins to settle in, my travel essentials become all about simplicity, functionality and style. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer fall escape, having a well-curated beauty bag is key. For me, packing for a trip means quick, thoughtful organization—products that do double duty without compromising on quality. Here are a few of my must-have items of late.
MZ WALLACE METRO BAG
With the essential trolley pass-through, this bag holds all the carry-on necessities without being heavy. Bonus: it’s machine washable.
TRISH MCEVOY MAKEUP PLANNER
I carry some iteration of Trish’s planner system when I travel — this starter kit has everything I need, and then I whittle it down depending on how long I’m going to be away.
U BEAUTY THE SUPER HYDRATOR
Soothe your weary face with one of my favorites — it gives skin a nice glow with or without makeup.
AUGUSTINUS BADER X SOPHIA COPPOLA THE TINTED LIP BALM
AB’s collab with Sofia Coppola means we can all have a not-quite-lipstick flush of color and hydration in tones of rose, nude and coral.
ILIA COMPLEXION BRUSH
This workhorse brush blends all sorts of creamy makeup so easily. I reach for it daily, so I have an extra tucked in my travel case.
NATURA BISSÉ DIAMOND LUMINOUS UV DEFENSE TINTED FLUID
I am never without a tinted SPF to stand in for foundation when I’m on the go — this one calms redness and adds radiance.
ORIBE AIRBRUSH ROOT TOUCH-UP SPRAY
I always have this easy-to-use touch up-spray on hand when my roots unexpectedly show up in a hotel mirror.
LE LABO THÉ NOIR 29
My go-to perfume in a portable roller ball.
ESSIE GEL COUTURE NAIL POLISH IN CHIFFON THE MOVE
My favorite lazy nail color that I wear almost year-round.
KUSSHI SIGNATURE MAKEUP BAG
This washable toiletry bag holds all the necessities.
NEURO SLEEP & RECHARGE MELTAWAY MINTS
Travel is both tiring and sleep disrupting — I love to use these on occasion for a little extra insurance.
ROHTO OPTIC GLOW LUBRICANT EYE DROPS
Instantly brighter eyes in seconds and satisfyingly refreshing!
UNIQLO RIBBED CARDIGAN AND PANTS
This travel outfit is both comfy and stylish, and easy on the wallet.
