Holiday bag essentials

FLIGHTS booked? Passport looked out? Then you’re nearly ready for your hols. All that remains is the matter of which items to cram into your luggage. Our sister publication, No. 1 Magazine, has selected the summer’s essential products.

The CC cream

YOU’VE no doubt heard of BB creams, but have you ever tried a CC? This colour-correcting cream from Clinique works with smart technology to even out your skintone and bring out its natural radiance, while also giving it an injection of moisture. Plus it provides SPF 30 so it’s ideal for holiday.

Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream SPF 30, £29

The cult mascara

HAVE you tried loads of different mascaras and still not found one you really love? You’re not alone. But your holiday is the perfect time to try the cult mascara that’s loved by the beauty industry for its curling and lengthening powers, particularly as it now comes in a waterproof version.

FairyDrops Scandal Queen Waterproof Mascara, £18.50

The mini-remover

YOU probably don’t want to be lugging round a huge bottle of make-up remover on holiday. But that doesn’t mean you should just use wipes – they’ve been proven not to remove every single trace of make-up from your face. So why not give this Bobbi Brown product a go? This formula is gentle and refreshing yet really goes to work on long-lasting and waterproof make-up. Plus, it comes in this handy 10ml luggage-friendly size. Bobbi Brown instant Long-Wear Make-up Remover To Go, £9

The portable perfume

TOM FORD’S Black Orchid fragrance is gorgeous but pretty pricey at £110 for 100ml. So you may not want to risk taking it on holiday and possibly forgetting it or smashing the bottle. But now you can smell super luxe without the price tag or the worry with this rollerball version.
