Bite-Size Beauty Products to Travel With
By Heather Muir, Allure magazine
Ok, now that you're back from one weekend of traveling, it's time to think ahead to the next set of holidays! For the beauty-obsessed, there are special considerations for packing. Each time I try to narrow down products from my makeup and hair arsenals to bring on a trip, I can't: I want to take it all.
I hate the idea of having to sacrifice my looks when I'm going to be around friends I haven't seen all year. Conveniently, cosmetic companies pump out their teeniest products this time of year. First, we oohed and awed at how freaking cute the baby beauty offerings were, then tested them to see if they really worked. Here's what's worth throwing in your bag:

The super-small bullets of the Kat Von D Tattoo Chronicals Painted Love Lipsticks make it easy to stay in the lip lines. We liked Cathedral, a mauve-y neutral for day and raisin-colored Rosary for evening.
The Mr. and Mrs. Minimergency Kit contains the tiniest vial of hair spray we've ever seen. Its hold is decent and the mist is fine to suffice for a week at your parents' house.
Tarte Natural Cheekstain in Vivid (above) offers a mild pink flush that suits pale to medium complexions. The best part? You don't need to bring a blush brush!

Though the Le Métier de Beauté Nail Lacquer in Noble Passion is doll-size, it houses a regular size brush that makes an at-home manicure a breeze, and the lilac shade is beautifully sheer.
The Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pen in Black Noir fits in your pocket, glides on effortlessly-and holds its own through a sappy Christmas movie.
