Well, fear not – from carry-on friendly Korean skincare to the most heavenly holiday fragrance, we’ve cherry-picked the best new holiday products (plus some stone-cold classics, too) to help you pack like a pro.

Charlotte Tilbury

Glowgasm Palette, Glowgasm Beauty Light Wand

///

Get that glow

Calling all glow-seekers. Charlotte Tilbury’s Glowgasm Palette features four silky shades – a bronzer, a rosy-pink blusher and two highlighters – that look particularly good with a tan. But if a liquid highlighter is more your thing, the new Beauty Wand contains lindera extract to mimic the effects of light on the skin for a more au naturel glow.

Soleil Glow Tone Up Foundation Hydrating Cushion Compact SPF 40, Soleil Liquid Lip Lacquer, Lip Gelée

Sophisticated in Soleil

Nothing screams summer quite like Tom Ford’s oh-so-chic Soleil collection (except perhaps an 11am mojito). The new cushion foundation is the perfect holiday base, thanks to its lightweight formula, SPF 45 and nifty compact packaging. We’ve also fallen for their lip lacquers, which will stay put during aforementioned mojito thanks to their longwearing yet hydrating oil-based formula.
