Summer calls for beauty that travels as well as you do. The edit below is the beauty must haves in mini size. These travel essentials are designed for life on the move, so you don’t have to sacrifice your summer glow.
The Skin

Augustinus Bader's The Starter Kit contains the brand's four-step regime in travel-ready sizes: The Cream Cleansing Gel , The Essence, The Cream, and The Face Oil. The full regime, compressed into an oh-so chic carry-on kit.

Tower 28's Mini SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray powered by hypochlorous acid, this is a sunburn saviour. It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent that quickly cools the skin, reduces redness, and soothes the stinging and discomfort associated with UV exposure.

Starface's Big Yellow keeps spots in check on the go: 32 hydrocolloid star patches that protect, absorb, and reduce redness in six hours, packaged in a mirrored compact that fits anywhere. The Star Balm in Coconut Blast travels alongside it offering an ultra-cushiony lip balm powered by shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil for long-lasting hydration with a bright, tropical finish.

GUERLAIN KissKiss Bee Glow Tinted Lip Balm in shade 200 Cool delivers a sheer wash of colour while keeping lips hydrated and comfortable throughout the day. With its skincare-meets-makeup approach, the balm leaves lips looking naturally fresher, smoother, and softly luminous.
The Scent

Perfume as exploration, packaged for the journey.

Phlur's Honeymoon Eau de Parfum captures the intoxicating feeling of new beginnings: soft florals blended with sensual musks for a scent that feels both intimate and deeply personal. Phlur's Rosewhip Deodorant travels with it. A velvety rose and honeyed osmanthus lifted by black currant and pink pepper, settling into cashmere wood, amber, and musk.

AMOUAGE Lineage Eau de Parfum captures the feeling of a journey shaped by memory and place, unfolding through mineral freshness and warm, textured depth. Sophisticated yet atmospheric, it is the kind of fragrance that lingers softly — like summer air long after sunset.
The Hair
