1. A TSA-approved carry-on suitcase that has everything you need: a durable hard case, wheels, trolley, and smooth zipper pulls. It'll hold all of your beauty and fashion essentials, and if you want my opinion, go for the ombré blue to stand out on the carousel amid a sea of black luggage.
2. A top-rated makeup bag that has a ton of compartments so you can neatly separate your blushes from your foundations, and make sure no makeup essential is left behind!
3. A Neutrogena oil-free sunscreen that provides SPF 70 and UVB protection. It's ideal for reducing the risk of skin cancer and sun damage — just don't forget to reapply every two hours!
4. And an after-sun moisturizer that's weightless and helps relieve any potential sunburns you might experience from hours of lounging on a tropical beach. It has a very luxurious formula packed with cocoa butter and aloe vera that'll leave you with silky-smooth skin — and remember to put it in a 3.4-ounce (or smaller) travel container so you don't get hassled by TSA.
5. An award-winning lip balm with SPF 30 protection that's all-natural, shields lips against sunburn, and locks in moisture. Talk about a vacation MVP!
6. A light CC cream that evens out complexions — and yes, that includes sunburned ones! It's dermatologist-tested and great for acne-prone skin — plus, at only 1 ounce, it'll easily slip into your toiletry bag or purse, so you don't have to sacrifice any of your precious packing space.
7. A complexion booster with squalane and hyaluronic acid that provides a little more coverage than a CC cream but not too much. This makeup-skincare hybrid will add just enough glow to amplify your natural skin, leaving it radiant for all those vacay selfies you plan on taking.
8. A highly pigmented cream blush that is blendable, buildable and infused with argan oil and vitamin E, offering a dose of hydration. It's lightweight, goes from putty to powder, and offers a flushed-from-within glow. One reviewer said it will last all day, so you won't have to worry about reapplying as you traipse through the streets of Paris.
9. An award-winning waterproof mascara that brings the drama! It evenly coats lashes from root to tip, provides 10-times more volume, and can be stored in even the smallest of handbags. And since it's waterproof, you won't have raccoon eyes after you take a dip in the pool.
10. An aloe facial mist that'll make a big difference while traveling in hot climates. It's so cooling and invigorating that whether your skin is dry or sunburned (or both!) it has you covered. With just one or two sprays, your skin will be reenergized and hydrated on the spot.
11. A versatile eyeshadow stick that can be used on the go. Just throw it in your bag and bust it out when you need a little extra touch-up or to look (somewhat) pulled together. Each color packs a unique, fashionable punch, so you should probably get one of each.
12. A fan-favorite brow gel that will keep your eyebrows tamed no matter what kind of adventures you get into. The flake-resistant, gel-like formula is nonsticky and dries quickly — which is great if you're traveling in extremely humid climates (or even if you're not).
13. A lip gloss that works for any occasion during any time of day. It nourishes and hydrates while adding just enough color to your lips. Oh, and it's not sticky, so you'll never worry about your hair getting stuck to your lips on those unwanted but often inevitable blustery vacay days.
14. A travel-size argan oil leave-in spray that adds a touch of shine, tames frizz and flyaways, conditions, detangles, *and* provides thermal protection from hot tools. Perfect for dry, dull ends, this miracle worker will keep your hair nourished and smooth — not to mention it'll save you packing space by being five products in one!
15. A sea salt spray that defines curls and waves in a pinch, and is totally worth packing in your checked bag. Made for all hair types, this leave-in mist will create a tousled hairstyle that'll make you look like you spent all day at the beach, even if you're more of a city-vacation-type traveler.
16. A double-strap sandal that is comfy, dries quickly and can be easily wiped down in case they get dirty from all your exploring. You can seamlessly transition from the beach to the cobblestone streets to the bars with this comfortable shoe that you'll never want to take off. One reviewer even said they're great shower shoes, too!
17. A couple of mesh tote bags that are travel-ready with a spacious compartment and zipper pocket. Store all of your beach items with ease, use them as shopping bags when you hit the open-air produce market, or pack a Parisian picnic by the Seine. Bonus: They're easily compressed so you'll have no problem packing one (or both)!
18. A one-shoulder high-rise bikini whose dual-layers will keep you comfortable while its stylish cut offers the perfect balance of coverage and showing *just* the right amount of skin.
19. Or a ruffled one-piece bathing suit that was made for lounging by an infinity pool at a 5-star resort with a tropical drink in hand. Between the deep V-neck and shirred front, it's impossible to resist adding this under-$20 choice to your packing list.
20. A classic lace-up sneaker that's great for long vacays *and* day trips. The breathable canvas will keep your feet cool and comfortable, and the durable outsole can withstand whatever the day throws your way.
21. An essential V-neck cotton tee that'll pull your travel wardrobe together. Dress it up with an embellished skirt or down with high-waisted denim shorts. Want my two cents? Invest in *more* than one color.
22. A classic pair of denim shorts that you'll live in on that warm-weather trip you've got planned. The high-waisted fit, frayed hem, and 5-inch length will show off your legs and give you just enough coverage at the same time.
23. A terry cloth cover-up with a hood that can even work on its own with wedges, sneakers, sandals — you name it! The oversized fit and timeless striped pattern are paired to perfection with its lace-up detail...St. Tropez, here you come!
24. A pair of Ray-Ban aviators that are worth every single penny. They're so timeless you'll want to keep wearing them even after your vacation ends. Talk about a worthwhile investment!
25. A vibrant one-shoulder midi dress that you'll wear on repeat, even though you practically packed your entire closet. It's fun, flowy, and fitted, and best of all, it'll keep you looking perfectly pulled together... even when you're not.
26. A fun going-out platform heel that'll seriously ~step up~ your style game if you're the type of traveler who likes to be glam any chance you get. The nearly 5-inch heels are *actually* comfortable to wear (shocker, I know!) and the adjustable strap closure will keep you locked in safe and sound.
27. A versatile blazer that'll keep you warm and looking cool as you watch the sunset over the Mediterranean. It's the perfect replacement for a bulky cardigan and can work morning, day, or night. Plus, it's available in more than just basic black.
28. A pair of loose-fitting, smocked-waist pants that'll replace your tight jeans for something nice 'n' breezy (and way easier to pack). The linen material is perfect for sightseeing in 90-degree weather and would also make ideal airplane pants.
29. A Reebok fanny pack that can also be worn as a crossbody, and is sporty, lightweight *and* functional. It's perfect for you light-packers out there who only need to carry the basics when they're out and about. Plus, it's under $20 — score!
30. And a three-pack of hoop earrings in different colors that'll streamline your jewelry packing. With gold, silver and black options, there is only one answer: Yes!
