We all need to get away from it all sometimes, even if it's just for the weekend. Whether you're heading someplace warmer or going to visit a friend nearby, there are a few beauty essentials you need to pack to ensure a good time. From sunscreen to facial cleanser to a multipurpose palette, you actually don't need to jam your weekender with tons of products to look put-together while you travel. To make your to-do list a whole lot easier, here are nine beauty must-haves you shouldn't leave home without, because going on vacation doesn't mean you have to take a vacation from your beauty routine.

Practicing a consistent skin care routine is important for us to achieve clear and glowing skin. Apart from the variety of skin care products that we see cropping up in the market today, high-tech skin care devices and beauty tools have also been trending. For one, the Clarisonic has been a popular cleansing tool, with its use of sonic cleansing to effectively remove dirt, makeup and impurities without irritating the skin. But at $99 and up to $200 or more, it doesn't come cheap. Whether you can't afford a Clarisonic just yet or you want to give pore cleansing brushes a try, there are several affordable options you can test out.

Sure, it's nice to indulge in a fancy-pants $40-plus lipstick from the department store every now and then, but let's be real: We all love a bargain. And luckily, there are tons of new affordable lipsticks on the market at the moment, available in every color of the rainbow (and every finish too, of course).

We've all been there: Waking up the morning after a shower to realize that somehow, our hair has become greasy overnight. Whether you have an oily scalp in general, or simply try to stretch the days between washes for as long as possible, greasy strands can really put a damper on your style.
