On the Move Cleansing Stick, 

H2O+,  

$18

You know what’s a pain to travel with? Liquid face wash. It can leak all over inside your bag, or sometimes when you open it post-plane, it overflows from the pressure and is gone before you can use it. You know what is a breeze to travel with? Face wash in a solid stick. No mess—just swipe on, massage, and wash off.

Shade and Illuminate Glow Stick, 

Tom Ford, 

$55

This glam stick is here to simplify your bag. It doubles as both your decadent bronzer and blush (and heck, you could even use the bronzer as eyeshadow and the blush as lipstick). You now can call yourself a light packer, thankyouverymuch!

Yes To, 

$10

No more bulky masks weighing you down—remove blackheads with this detoxifying charcoal mask, in stick form.
