Holiday season is almost here, and we’re already prepping our vacay bags! Don’t leave the packing for the last minute this year, especially when it comes to the mighty vanity bag. We all know the schlep of trying to ‘make a plan’ to redistribute and store our beauty products to lug with us over the holidays. This year, we need to plan ahead.

Usually, I end up shoving a full bottle of shampoo and 15 000 items of skincare into my case. This year, I’m only taking minis along with me. If they don’t fit into a cute pouch, they’re not coming with.
I’ve done the scoping, and I’ve found the travel minis and sets worth splashing for. The fab thing about these? Most of these products may last for a while longer than the holidays, and everyone knows how important it is to keep emergency minis in the handbag.
Without further say or ado, here are my go-to’s for your vanity bag this holiday season!
The Beautiful Life Store
Woolworths
Uriage’s Hydration Travel Kit takes care of cleansing, purifying, moisturising, nourishing and it rebuilds the skin barrier. Address all your basic skincare needs with thermal water, water spray, cleansing cream and light water cream, which comes in an easy-to-pack kit, available from Woolworths for R380.
Afari
When I asked our Beauty Editor, Jade, which travel minis she loves she recommended Afari, so this one’s Beauty Editor approved!
This kit, which lasts about 2-3 weeks, addresses eight major ageing concerns in just four steps. Complete with a priming cleanser, brightening elixir, SPF3O protecting day cream and overnight regenerating cream, this little kit is all your skin needs over the holidays. Available from Afari for R695.
Woolworths
Beyond the gorgeous scents in this set, the main thing I love about it, is the sustainable glass packaging! You don’t want to trot off to sea with a vanity bag full of plastic. If you’re looking to make your vanity packing as sustainable as possible, Skin Creamery’s Sealand travel set is what you need! Find it at Woolworths for R877,50.
Woolworths
We’re all candle lovers here. Imagine my excitement when I discovered that travel candles exist!? Now I can experience the luxury of lighting a Jo Malone candle, literally anywhere. We love Jo Malone’s candles for their long-lasting, strong yet subtle scents. Pop this nifty little English pear and freesia candle in your handbag and whip it out whenever it’s time for a self care session. Available at Woolworths for R600.
