We all know the struggle of packing before a big trip. You have to figure out what you need to look your best, feel your best, and have a sense of control over the uncertainty of airport chaos, but also how to achieve all of that without packing too much. You need entertainment, identification, comfy clothes, and all the cosmetics that must be within arms reach in case of emergency or an awkward run-in.
Celebs travel all the time, and often have the best packing tips. Emma Watson recently shared her travel essentials when she sat down for an episode of "In The Bag" for Vogue.
Of course, there was the obvious—her passport, headphones, a book, a Kindle—but there was also the wacky. For example, she had a full bottle of gin from her brand, Renais Gin, because she never knows when she will need a glass (not sure how that will make it past TSA), but also a pack of tarot cards for ritual and advice.
What we were really excited about, though, was she let us in on her secrets to airport beauty, and the must-have products she always keeps in her bag.
One of her favorite products is a lip and cheek stain from The Body Shop. In fact, she loves them so much she keeps two in her travel bags for safe measure—pairing the stain with the Jane Iredale Lip Pencil in the shade Spice as her go-to. Another favorite is the Lime Crime Freckle Pen, which she says she uses in the winter when her freckles naturally start to fade.
What she says she can never live without, though, is the Lunar+Aster RealGlow Under Eye Brightener—saying if she only put that and The Body Shop lip and cheek tint on, she could get away with almost nothing on her face.
Of course, she doesn’t go anywhere without sunscreen and uses the AHC Natural Perfection Fresh Sun Stick with SPF 50. She also always carries a rose misting spray for when she needs a bit of a refresh in the sweaty airport.
Watson says she usually tries to have somewhat of a look for the airport due to the fact she could be photographed at any moment, but as soon as she gets on the plane, she takes it all off, puts on her sleeping mask, headphones, and tunes out the world. Celebrities, they're just like us.
