Okay girls. Gather around. Because before every holiday… Every girl’s group chat eventually reaches the same stage.
Flights? Booked.
Outfits? Planned.
Restaurant recommendations? Saved.
And then someone asks: "Wait... what beauty stuff are we taking?"
Cue chaos.
Suddenly everyone is unpacking and repacking their entire vanity.
At Westside summer beauty is all about travelling lighter. Glowing brighter. And packing the products that actually earn a place in your bag.
Because holiday beauty isn't about carrying everything. It's about carrying the right things.
Because your passport isn't the only thing making the trip.
So What Is The Number One Thing Going Into The Beauty Kit?
Sunscreen! And before anybody rolls their eyes...
Yes. We're starting here.
Because there are two types of girls on holiday. The girl who packed sunscreen. And the girl borrowing sunscreen from everyone else.
Let's be the first girl.
Very demure. Very responsible. Very unlikely to spend day three looking like a tomato.
What's The Skincare Routine On Holiday?
Simpler. Much simpler.
This is not the time for your seventeen-step routine. Your skin is travelling too. Keep it easy.
A gentle cleanser. A good moisturiser. Sunscreen. Hydration. Done.
The goal is glowing skin. Not conducting skincare experiments in another country.
What Makeup Actually Deserves Suitcase Space?
Only the overachievers. A lightweight base. Concealer. Mascara. A blush that makes you look like you've been kissed by the sun. A lip balm or gloss that lives in your bag. That's your starting lineup. Very Hailey Bieber holiday beauty.
Fresh skin. Glossy lips. Looking suspiciously radiant for somebody who's supposedly "keeping it casual."
Can We Talk About Lip Balm For A Second?
Because somehow every trip includes a girl desperately asking: "Does anyone have lip balm?"
Pack it. Pack two. One for your bag. One for the hotel room. Future-you will be grateful.
What Beauty Product Always Works The Hardest On Holiday?
Blush. And honestly? She's having a moment.
A little warmth on the cheeks and suddenly you look like you've spent the day walking through a coastal town in Europe. Very Sabrina Carpenter summer. Very "I just came back from somewhere beautiful." Even if you've spent most of the day by the hotel pool.
What Are We Carrying For Beach And Pool Days?
The essentials. Sunscreen. A hydrating mist. Lip balm. Hair ties. A cute claw clip. Because the second the humidity arrives, your hair starts making independent decisions. Let's be prepared.
Speaking Of Hair... What's The Strategy?
Acceptance. And accessories. Summer hair has its own agenda. Some days it's giving effortless beach waves. Some days it's giving electrical malfunction. This is why claw clips, scrunchies, and headbands deserve respect. They're doing important work.
What Beauty Item Are We Forgetting?
Fragrance. Because memories have scents. One spritz? And you're back at that beach. That café. That sunset. That holiday crush you were definitely over by the time you got home.
Summer fragrances just hit differently.
So What's The Real Secret To A Great Travel Beauty Kit?
Pack for the memories. Not the mirror. The best holiday photos are rarely the ones where everything looks perfect... They're the ones where you're laughing, glowing, slightly sun-kissed, and having the time of your life!
At Westside summer beauty is all about that! Fresh skin. Easy essentials. And products that keep up with every adventure.
Head to your nearest Westside store or browse online and build your travel beauty kit before your next getaway.
Pack the sunscreen.
Pack the lip balm.
Pack the blush.
And please...
Drink some water.
Your skin is rooting for you.
