Mini Me: The Best Travel Essentials For Your Weekend
Are you headed out of town for the holiday weekend? Are you loathe to pack all your full-size beauty products? Well, unless you are a professional traveler (been there, done that), you probably don’t have a second bag of duplicate products ready to go at any given moment.
Remember that good things do indeed come in small packages. I have road tested a plethora of products that help me maneuver through TSA without giving up the goods. Here are some small-size travel-worthy beauty products that are must haves for any cross-continent jetsetter or weekend road trip traveler.
1. Makeup
I can’t imagine any self-respecting woman leaving home without a secret stash of makeup.
Even if I were a contestant on Survivor, I would have some mascara hidden in my bikini top.

2. Skin Care
I love philsophy purity cleanser. I mean love. I loved it before Oprah loved it. (as if that means something) And I love Help me. Because I need all the help I can get.
Plus this gentle retinol does not irritate me. Like my kids do.
At any rate, this kit from philosophy has everything you need for a weekend or a couple weeks of skin-saving skin care.
