We've all been there: booking a hand-luggage only fare to save a bit of money, only to come to pack and find yourself in a full-blown 100ml liquid limit nightmare. Squeezing a complete beauty routine into a bag the size of a sandwich bag, without leaving your holiday essentials at home, takes some serious editing skills.
When you're trying to fit your must-have hair products for humidity alongside your go-to everyday best perfumes, packing light can be impossible. But if anyone's mastered it, it's our Beauty Director, Sarah Cooper-White. Ahead of a trip abroad, Sarah set herself a challenge: fly hand-luggage only, and find every beauty essential she needed from a single Boots run. No overstuffed toiletry bags, no last-minute airport beauty buys - just a streamlined edit of holiday-ready buys that tick every box (and every liquid restriction).
