Packing for a vacation is hard enough, let alone when it requires attending umpteen Paris Fashion Week shows. The first thing one must do is streamline what they take. In a dream world, luggage allowance wouldn’t exist and we’d all be able to holiday with those romantic but unwieldy trunks of yesteryear, But, let’s face it, going abroad means cramming your life into a teeny tiny cabin bag. Downsizing your cosmetics is an easy way to free up space, especially if they happen to be handbag-friendly too. Take a leaf out of the PFW crowd’s beauty book and invest in these 15 products that speed up your daily routine while also saving luggage allowance for the things that matter (read: shoes).
