6 Beauty Favourites I Always Pack

August 14, 2026

I'm Gill. I create and share content inspired by the changing seasons and my life in the Scottish countryside — from food and the garden to beauty, home and fashion.

Hello & welcome

My beauty bag tends to be packed before almost anything else, and these were the six products making it into my suitcase for a recent trip to the USA.

They’re a mix of skincare, SPF and those little glow-giving extras I find myself reaching for again and again.

All products are linked by tapping the relevant text below.

ZIIP Halo
My go-to for a little lift and glow before make-up — and usually one of the first things into my beauty bag.

VIEVE Skin Dew
I love this for adding a beautiful glow to cheekbones, shoulders and collarbones, particularly for evenings.

Ultra Violette SPF Disco Queen
Sun protection is non-negotiable for me, and I love adding a little glow at the same time.

Bali Body Face Tan
An easy way to add a little warmth after travelling and one I regularly pack.

Beauty Pie Neck & Chest Uber Youth Spray Mist & Pixi After Sun Sheet Mask
This spray is perfect for a quick refresh, particularly after a long flight.

The mask I like to pack for giving my skin a little extra hydration after a day in the sun.
