What are the must-haves for a weekend-ready beauty bag?

When Friday finally hits and your out-of-office is on, the last thing you want is to overthink your beauty bag. A good weekend kit should work hard, pack light, and cover all the bases - whether you're on a train, at a cabin, or crashing somewhere with questionable lighting.

It's your beauty safety net: reliable, unfussy, and ready for anything.

Start with skin. A lightweight SPF you'll actually reapply is non-negotiable. Add a multitasking moisturiser, a hydrating mist, and a cleansing balm that can tackle makeup, sunscreen, and whatever city grime you picked up along the way.

For makeup, less is more. A tinted balm, a brow fix, and something with a bit of shimmer will take you from coffee runs to late dinners without the need for a full routine.

And don't forget the quiet heroes: a wide-tooth comb, a mini fragrance (spray or solid), and something to tame the inevitable frizz.

Bonus points if it all fits in one pouch. The goal is ease - products that work across occasions, take up minimal space, and still make you feel like yourself.
