Planning on a short vacation this long weekend? Chances are, if you’re flying it’s somewhere not too far away, and maybe even on a budget airline. And who wants the hassle of a check-in bag when you’re just going to be spending a few days by the poolside or beach somewhere? Pack light and smart, taking only what you really need and want.

#1 A BB cream with UV protection

The best part about a BB cream with SPF protection? It eliminates the need to pack moisturisers and sunblock, with many BB creams already covering those bases. Try 3CE Back to Baby BB Cream SPF35 PA++. It’s got moisturising properties with hyaluronic acid, and promises to brighten your skin tone without looking greyish.

3CE Back to Baby BB Cream SPF35 PA++, $25.

#2 Waterproof eyeliner

The easiest way to look good with minimal effort? Eyeliner, always. It’s all you really need (alongside your favourite concealer) to be selfie-ready. We love Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner as a travel staple because it’s got great smudge-proof staying power and is so easy to apply.

Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black, $29.

#3 Tinted lip balm

All that swimming is bound to leave your lips feeling dry and chapped. If you’re going for a fuss-free beauty look, try a tinted lip balm like Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Lip Balm in Wild Cherry. It’s got a lovely deep cherry hue and boasts nourishing ingredients like beeswax, coconut oil and rich cherry oil.

Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Lip Balm in Wild Cherry, $8.
