Refillable Perfume Bottle
Many of us like to spritz on some fragrance before we head out the door, but when it comes to travel, perfume isn't always the easiest thing to pack. The solution? This refillable travel-size bottle that's TSA-approved and easy-to-use. To fill it up, simply remove the cap from your favorite full-sized scent, press the bottom of the mini bottle down onto the perfume bottle, and pump until it's full. The best part? It comes with a leak-proof aluminum case (in a few color options), so you can toss it in your carry-on or purse worry-free.

Dry shampoo is a life-saver at home and even more of an essential while traveling. Instead of letting your mane become greasy or washing and styling your hair more often (who wants to do that on vacation!), opt for a mini version of your go-to product. Our hero pick: Moroccanoil dry shampoo. Featuring dark and light tone options, you can choose the option that will best blend with your hair, while balancing brassiness. Oh, and did we mention it smells amazing? Insider tip: You might fall in love with this petite size so much you'll want to grab another to throw into your gym bag or purse.
