If you’re anything like us, you know exactly that one of the fun parts about the pre-holiday wind-up is getting all your holiday essentials together - your mini makeup kits, your sunscreen, your tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner and hair treatment and everything else you can think of! Sure, you can leave them all behind and then buy new things in your holiday destination of choice, but there’s a lot to be said for being prepared (and you can save your shopping haul on holiday for fun things like more new makeup!)
Here are our ten must-have, must-pack products for all your holiday needs!
If this reminds you of your childhood, you’re not alone, and there’s a good reason for it - it’s a classic holiday shop essential, sold in every corner shop by the beach in Malta. Long-lasting, with a high SPF rating, and a to-die-for scent, don’t leave home without this!
Lounged too hard in the sun and got a little bit too much glow going on? Don’t worry, Ziaja is here to save the day with their super soothing skincare protectant. It calms and protects your poor battered skin from extra sun, and provides immediate relief so you’re not left feeling itchy and sore while you’re seeing the sights.
Hot summer weather and airplane air can really do a number on your skin and dry you out completely, so be prepared with the Glow Hub mini set, focusing on hyaluronic acid-packed products to give your skin a much-needed post-flight pamper.
Don’t get caught on holiday with a bad hair day! Formulated with vitamin E and their proprietary nutri-enrich blend of oleic acid and panthenol, this is a must-have for anyone heading out on holiday (and if you’re staying at home, we still recommend it - the formula is excellent for dry or damaged hair!)
In five stunning shades, these tiny little palettes pack a ton of colour power in the pan, and they’re perfect for those who want to take along some makeup without weighing their bag down too much. Our favourite is Heartbreaker Pink, but there’s other colours available, and they’re the same price as an iced coffee, so go ahead and treat yourself!
Heading for the beach as soon as you land? You’ll need a cover-up, and it has to look good! Our Friday Beach Sarongs are made of soft, sheer fabric, and available in six stunning patterns and colours. While you’re at it, pick up a pair of casual sunglasses, and be the most stylish person at the beach even before you find a place to lounge!
Nobody wants to keep reapplying their lipstick while they’re on holiday, especially since you’ll likely be eating and drinking so many delicious things! The Revolution Pout Tint is a soft, silky formula that leaves behind a to-die-for tint to your lips, and can last for hours without a touch-up!
We’re all about shopping for new foundations, and this one is one of our favourites: the Revolution Skin Silk Serum, a lightweight, buildable, hyaluronic-enriched formula in 20 shades that looks just like your skin, but a little bit better. Best of all, no brushes needed to apply - you can blind it out with your fingers!
Don’t want to leave home without your signature scent? Us too! This Miss Kay Unique Kit features three completely different scents that can be worn layered with each other, or as single perfumes, and you’re sure to find something that works for you! Blend two or more of them together and create your signature scent from scratch, in a convenient, travel-sized package!
Prone to burning? Don’t want to haul all your skincare with you? This Hello Sunday Primer is incredible, and a must for us, even when we’re at home and have all the access to our things! It holds your makeup in place, it comes with UVA/UVB protection, and it is formulated both sweat and water-resistant. Don’t miss out on it!
And there you go, LUCY lovers: everything we’d take with us away on holiday - but have we missed your favourite? Write in and let us know about it! We’re always looking for more product recs from our favourite people!
