Travelling glam

Your capsule beauty bag revealed.

P acking for a holiday is stressful at the best of times. Trying to cram days – or even weeks – of your life into a suitcase is every woman’s worst nightmare. How are we meant to slim down our shoe selection or pick between bikinis? Exactly. But don’t get us started on battling the beauty bag – that’s a whole other world of problems. Leaving our favourite formulas alone on the shelves is simply unbearable, especially when we want to look our best both in-flight and on the ground. Nearly Dh72 million worth of cosmetics are seized at airports every week during peak travel periods, and more than 70 per cent of women admitted to failing to comply with the 100ml liquid limit for hand luggage, according to a survey carried out by www.escentual.com. That’s a whole lot of lotions and potions being banned from boarding. But with these mini must-haves, packing your products won’t be a problem and you’ll sail through airport security without having to kiss goodbye to your beauty buys. So pick up that passport and check-in with our one-stop ticket to the top travelfriendly beauty finds.
