Travel Treats
Monday 25th June 2007 by Elizabeth Richards
The holiday season has arrived at last but whether you’re jetting off to foreign climates or pottering about on a home-grown British break, chances are there’s always that struggle to close the suitcase. You want to look fabulous, of course, but if there always seems to be a tug-of-love moment at the final stage – that pair of killer heels or this must-have bottle of fragrance – you’re in luck because a compromise is easier than ever and far more satisfactory.
Simply downsize your beauty kit with dinky bottles, tiny tubes and miniature pots pre-filled with your favourite treats. From sun screen and shampoo to lotions, potions and styling tools, this season welcomes one of the most exciting collections of travel-friendly products to have ever hit the beauty shelves, and to make your packing even easier, we’ve rounded up our favourites.
