When it comes to prepping for a vacation—especially when one is extremely overdue—excitement is usually high, but sometimes stress levels can be too. Aside from unearthing your long-lost suitcase from an abandoned corner of your closet and planning an itinerary, it can also be tricky figuring out the right travel essentials to pack. Once all your outfits are picked out, the next—and arguably most important—step? Narrowing down your beauty products.

It may seem easy enough to throw your most-used items into a toiletry bag and call it a day, but TSA requires anyone traveling by plane to ensure liquids, gels, and aerosols are no more than 3.4 ounces each in your carry-on. (That list encompasses cleansers, facial mists, shampoos, foundations, and more.) And in addition to pint-sized liquids, packing a bevy of mini beauty tools for your on-the-go hair and skin care routines makes it easy to stay glam while you're away from home.

If you've waited until the last-minute to figure out your vacation-beauty rotation, we can't think of a more convenient way to get it done than by shopping your product list on Amazon. In its Premium Beauty section, we've found a treasure trove of best-selling picks from coveted brands like Oribe, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sol de Janerio, and more that won't give you any issues during security screening—and will arrive in no time.

Here, we've handpicked some of the best travel-size beauty products on Amazon to help you secure all your getaway staples in one fell swoop.
