While packing for a recent weekend getaway, I frantically realized that my travel-size beauty product stash had run dry. With no time to run to the store or shop online, my two options became overpacking and bringing along all of my full-size beauty products or making some difficult cuts to my beloved makeup and skin-care routine. I didn't want to do either, but I ended up bringing two huge duffles instead of the single and streamlined weekender bag.

It ended up all being fine, but the trips that I have coming up don't really allow for overpacking, so restocking my minis has to happen.

Keep scrolling to see 11 of the travel-size products (and tools!) I'm eyeing for my next adventure.

Cadence The Capsule

When it comes to certain skin-care products (like cleansers!) and shampoo, I find that it's sometimes easier to invest in mini bottles than try to find your favorite formulas in a travel-size container. The Capsules ($14 each) are leakproof, dishwasher safe, and magnetically snap together. They also come with customizable magnetic labels, so you know exactly what you're opening.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Super Minis Kit

Those already in love with e.l.f. Cosmetics Supers ($15) skin-care collection will be thrilled to discover that the brand actually sells a four-piece e.l.f. Cosmetics Super Minis Kit ($15), including travel-size versions of the SuperTone toner, SuperClarify cleanser, SuperHydrate moisturizer, and SuperMask face mask. And if you've never tried any of these products, consider the kit your chance to try all of them at a major steal.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Makeup Mist

Makeup touch-ups shouldn't be something you need to worry about on vacay. Lock your look in places with this mini version of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Makeup Mist ($5).

e.l.f. Cosmetics Poreless Face Primer

Likewise, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Poreless Face Primer ($6) will help keep your makeup from smudging and smearing while you're off on your sightseeing adventures.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadow

e.l.f. Cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadow

If you only ever use three of the eyeshadow shades in your 12-shade palette, it might be time to invest in a mini compact for travel purposes — especially if you have a lot of trips coming up. Each e.l.f. Cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadow Palette ($3) holds four different eyeshadow shades. We've got our eyes on this rose option, but there are seven others to choose from!

Batiste Clean & Classic Trial Size Dry Shampoo

Batiste Clean & Classic Trial Size Dry Shampoo

Shampoo, conditioner, and hair masks can be easily transported to tinier reusable bottles, but dry shampoo is another story. So, if you don't feel like washing your hair on vacay (we don't blame you!), be sure to pack along the Batiste Clean and Classic Trial Size Dry Shampoo ($4).

e.l.f. Cosmetics Monochromatic Multi-Stick
elfcosmetics.com

e.l.f. Cosmetics Monochromatic Multi-Stick

Available in eight different shades, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Monochromatic Multi-Stick ($4) will take the place of your lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow.

e.l.f. Bite-Size Face Duo
elfcosmetics.com

e.l.f. Bite-Size Face Duo

A little blush and highlighter can totally transform a look. Keep them both in the vacation game with a mini, suitcase-friendly compact, like the e.l.f. Bite-Size Face Duo ($3).

Nest New York Seville Orange Perfume Oil Rollerball

Nest New York Seville Orange Perfume Oil Rollerball

Packing a full-size fragrance bottle isn't always the most practical decision for a three-day getaway. Perfume minis, like the citrusy and fresh Nest New York Seville Orange Perfume Oil Rollerball ($35) will solve that problem.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen

La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen

We couldn't leave SPF off this list! If you're getting to your vacation by car, feel free to pack your full-size sunscreen, but those arriving to their destinations via plane and with a carry-on will still need to follow that 3.4 fl. oz or less rule. (You can check anything more than that!) So, if you're in the market for a new bottle, consider adding the La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra-Light Face Sunscreen ($34) to your cart. The lightweight fluid uses a combo of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to block damaging UV rays.
