If you love beauty, everyone knows there’s a million-dollar question while packing for a big trip. Should we get reusable TSA-friendly containers and put in our current go-to products, or should we buy a set with mini versions of products we’ve always been curious to try?
It could be risky to change your entire routine for a trip… but if you’re obsessed with testing out new products and brands (like us), there’s truly no better time. Take it from someone who literally did just that and brought a set with mini versions of a whole new skincare routine for a recent trip to Puerto Rico. We practice what we preach!
But not all sets are created equal. We need them to be good value for the price, truly TSA-friendly, a brand we’re curious about, and include a full routine—whether it’s a six-step skincare one or a basic hair one.
Luckily, the holidays are the season for good gift sets. There’s plenty of excellent ones to choose from, but there are also ones that don’t quite meet our requirements. We’ve searched high and low for only the ones this beauty writer would get herself and recommend to others.
From celeb-founded hair brands like Beyonce’s CÉCRED and Shakira’s isima to skincare and bodycare sets fit for the highest-maintenance among us, like Nécessaire and Caudalie, keep scrolling to shop our picks for the best beauty and hair kits for your holiday travel.
