I cannot travel without my D&G dark sunglasses which addresses all situations - bright sunlight and glare, wanting to be mysterious and protecting the fragile skin around my eyes.

My best friend is my essential travel companion because if I forget to bring something she will always have it and visa versa. Definitely a must if you can't live without lipgloss, which I can't. :)

My eesential travel companion is a simple sleep mask because no matter where you are in the world you need beauty sleep which can be hard on a bus or plane with bright lights disturbing your mojo

My favourite travel companion would have to my Nivea Tinted SPF Moisturiser - it's my makeup, my moisturiser and sunscreen all in one! No need to take so many products. When travelling I like to opt out for 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 products!

my favourite travel companion is my mum. Whenever something goes wrong she is always there to fix it and she always gives the best advice.

Well I actually use the Goldwell shampoo and conditioner and love it plus I have one of those little dental travel packs in my car for emergencies. For me my favourite travel companion is a little makeup bag full of essentials like headache tablets, mints, dental floss, lip balm, hair clips, tissues, Q-tips and a mini mirror, this stuff can get me through just anout any situation.

I cannot travel without a Patricia Cornwell book form the Kay Scarpetta series. My fav all time read. Time just flies when I get absorbed in one of her books.

My favourite travel companion is my fiance Chris, he's the best travelling partner! he is adventurous and excitable. He's also incredibly romantic and spontaneous, one morning I woke up and he said pack a bag I have a surprise for you! he later then took me for a 4 day holiday over 2 countries and proposed and chose my engagement ring in Paris.

I didn't realise Wayne Cooper collaborated with Goldwell! My all time favourite travel companion is a good book. If I have a great read any travelling done will go much faster with this in my hands! Whether by the pool, on the train or the beach!

Definately the sunpouch SPF 30, because there's nothing better than to leave a holiday with healthy glowing skin; not sunburnt :O

My absolute must on any travelling trip is my Swisspers facial cleansing wipes with pomegranate extracts. Not only are they handy on those long airline trips, they are essential on nights that you come back to the hotel late from exploring! These wipes are ABSOLUTELY awesome. The scent is one of citrus notes that gives your skin that burst of freshness. Rich in antioxidants these wipes are extremely soft, gentle and the utmost moisturizing for the skin Love Love Love!

When we go travelling obviously hubby is a favourite travelling companion but my utmost all time favourite that always travels with me is my mini Batiste Dry Shampoo because this is one product that goes everywhere with me when travelling. Many a time, I just need an uplift to my unwashed hair and voila.....

The best travelling companion is a bottle of Burt's Bees All in One Wash - whether a cosmopolitan city stay or trekking out in the bush, the All in One Wash keeps you clean and smelling delicious. Saves precious packing space too!

A good book for long train rides, my little travel beauty case which has a bunch of little bottles which I fill with cleanser, moisturiser, shampoo etc. so that I can keep up my regular beauty routine while traveling.

My favourite companion is my trusty sling handbag which is roomy, lightweight and comfortable to carry and helps me keep all my travelling essentials handy - my wallet, water, tissues, maps, sunnies, snacks, medicine, bandaids, cardigan, umbrella, mobile, camera etc. When travelling (especially when doing some exciting and adventurous sightseeing), you're always on the go go go and It's always good to be well prepared for unexpected situations and changing weather conditions.

My favourite travelling companion would have to be money. I love to shop while on holidays finding new and exciting things you can't get at home and usually have to buy another suitcase to bring home all my goodies

Definitely Batiste Diva Dry Shampoo! Easy to use and keeps me feeling and smelling fresh all the time... There's no rule which says I can't be a diva even when I travel!

I always travel with Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream - it works a treat on my dry lips, as a handcream on very dry hands

my must have travel companion is my underwater digital camera which means its perfect for where ever i go....
this way i can re-live the happy memories any time i want when i get back to my everyday life... photos are worth a million words and any time i want to escape my dull life i sift through my photos and the countless memories... the pictures capture the moment that might otherwise be lost in so many other memories and they make for great scrap-booking...

A private jet would be handy
A porter would be dandy
Dental kits, moisturising creams
For beauty and heavenly extremes
Some eau de toilette
Would cover the sweat
But these won't ensure hygiene
When visiting la publique latrine
No trip is complete
Unless I've covered my retreat
Dettol hand sanitiser and tissues
Can assist with these pressing issues
They are my best friends for travelling
As they stop my day unravelling.

YSL Touche Eclat is perfect for giving a healthy glow just before getting off the plane to greet loved ones. The pen is so great because its light and gets through those strict airline rules.

My little pillow! It is made of the softest material and has a silk cover (great for skin, lol) . I carry it everywhere as it makes me feel at home, comfortable, cozy and secure, anywhere in the world.
It puts me right to beauty sleep, in the dingiest motels or in luxurious hotels, on a bus window pane, even on a plane!
