The first step to building your go-to toiletry bag is finding the right pouch to hold all the supplies you’ll need. I like this one from Sephora because it is see-through and fits the TSA-size requirements, so it makes getting through airport security a breeze. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it’s affordable and cute.

But I make sure to have a travel-size bottle of dry shampoo in my kit to give my hair a boost on travel days. I love this option by Klorane, so I stock up by the three-pack to ensure I always have a replacement available.

Courtesy of Sephora It’s smart to pack a travel-size hair spray to keep flyaways at bay and keep your tresses in place. Bonus: You can have your hairspray do double duty and also act as a static guard throughout your trip.

Courtesy of Ulta Since flights tend to dry out my skin, I put on moisturizer after I apply the serum to lock in hydration. This travel-size option by La Roche Posay is great because the lightweight cream leaves my skin silky smooth and the oil-free formula doesn’t clog my pores.

Courtesy of Amazon I have fair skin so I take sunscreen with me wherever I go. I love these packets by Banana Boat because they give great SPF coverage without taking up a lot of space in my toiletry bag.

Courtesy of Amazon There’s nothing better than coming home and removing your makeup after a long day of sightseeing. I use this gentle makeup remover by Bioderma every day at home, so I always make sure to have the travel-size bottle and a few cotton rounds in my kit.

Courtesy of Amazon Deodorant is a toiletry bag staple. I like to use this option by Secret because it has a nice, clean smell and offers all-day protection. It also comes in a convenient three-pack, so I always have a backup at the ready.

Courtesy of Amazon Surprisingly I’ve never forgotten to pack my toothbrush, but toothpaste is another story. I can’t remember all the times I've had to run out and buy a tube or borrow some from a traveling companion. So now I make sure to have one in my toiletry kit. I often buy them in bulk (like this 24-pack) to save money.

Courtesy of Amazon No one wants to deal with chapped lips while traveling, so I always have a lip balm in my bag. I like to stock up with an option that offers SPF protection like this Sun Bum balm, so I know my lips will be protected when I travel to sunny destinations.

Courtesy of Amazon I usually pack a round brush in my suitcase to style my hair, but I also pack this Mason Pearson comb in my toiletry bag to get rid of any snarls. It painlessly detangles my hair and doesn’t take up much space. I’ve had it for years, and it is still as good as new.
