1. MOR Lip Macaron in Peach Nectar, $10
The peachy smell of this stuff is so, so good. My lips get really chapped in the dry, stuffy airplane air, and this instantly does the trick. The tin is thin and small and hardly takes up any extra space in your carry-on.
2. Tocca Rollerball Perfume, $20
Most perfume bottles don't meet the TSA standards, but a travel-friendly rollerball is the perfect alternative. I love all the Tocca scents; from "Colette" to "Florence," I've tried 'em all.
3. Origins Make a Difference Plus+ Rejuvenating Moisturizer, $39
Back in the day I never used to travel with a facial moisturizer. Big mistake. Being stuck on vacation with extra-dry skin is the worst. Now I always bring this one from Origins, which is one of the most hydrating moisturizers I have ever used. A few dabs and my skin glows.
4. C.O. Bigelow Lemon Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel, $1.50
Airports are notoriously scuzzy, so I feel naked if I don't travel with a bottle of hand sanitizer. As soon as I put this on I just feel cleaner.
5. Benefit BADgal Mini Mascara, $8
Benefit's mini-version of their BADgal mascara has been my go-to when traveling for years. I put it on right before I land so I can walk off the plane looking at least semi-put-together.

1. POE Purity of Elements Preventative Kit, $84
This skin care kit is amazing -- every product is packed with great ingredients -- and it's pretty! Rather than mixing and matching a ton of different skin care products, I like to use an entire system when I travel.
2. Sebastian Volupt Travel-Size Shampoo and Conditioner, $5.99 each
There is nothing worse than generic hotel shampoo...and there's rarely any conditioner at all. This Sebastian shampoo and conditioner just recently became available in a travel size, and I can't wait to bring them on my next trip.
3. June Jacobs New Body Travel Kit, $95
Sometimes I'm guilty of using any old hotel soap and skipping lotion entirely. But when I pack the right body products, I'll use them -- and my skin is so much happier for it. This June Jacobs kit is perfect for me. (Bonus: If you stay in a Hyatt, you get June Jacobs products in your room.)
4. Supergoop SPF 50 Antioxidant Infused Sunscreen Day Cream, $37
I'm insane about sunscreen 365 days of the year, but especially when I'm traveling because I'll inevitably be walking around outside. This SPF 50 is my sunscreen of choice because it's a combination of physical and mineral SPF ingredients. I pack a tube for each day of my trip. No exaggeration.
5. Yes to Cucumbers On-The-Go Facial Towelettes, $2.99
Thankfully, the TSA doesn't confiscate wipes, because I usually travel with a ton of them. I use them for everything from washing my face on the flight to wiping down my tray table. These are my favorite because they're refreshing, and they come in perfect-sized packs of 10.
Complaining about traveling is the great unifier; Everybody looooves to moan. And while, yes, walking through the grimy security line barefoot as your flip-flops make their way down the conveyer belt is annoying, nothing compares to having to forfeit your brand new bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy because it's over the 3.4 oz. liquid limit.
