Nails inc. SOS Nail Pen, £12
Beyoncé may travel with her own personal nail technician, but for us mere mortals this nifty three-in-one tool is a honeymoon essential.

Jason Soothing 98% Aloe Vera Gel, £3.99

Bobbi Brown Face Touch Up Palette, £34
It is amazing to think this titchy little palette houses everything you need to cheat your way to complexion perfection – but thankfully it does!

Another SOS balm well worth seeking out – this iconic tube has long been a staple in beauty editors’ desks thanks to its 101 different uses.

This humble oil makes an amazing make-up remover, hair conditioner, moisturiser and massage oil. Decant a little into a small tub and bask in your low-maintenance smugness. www.ayumi.co.uk
Dr LeWinn’s Instand Beauty Radiance Booster, £26
