After two weeks in Italy, I came home with strong opinions on what’s worth taking on vacation.

While surviving packed itineraries, humid afternoons, overnight flights and hours walking through Rome, I was able to test how some of my favorite at-home products actually held up, and let’s just say a few items will never make it into my suitcase again.

With summer almost here and many of you deep in your own vacation planning, this Post Beauty Report’s edit is all about the items that will survive your upcoming trip: the longest-lasting makeup, skincare and hair products that genuinely hold up through every espresso run, beach day and cobblestone-filled sprint to make a reservation on time.

• 20% off the Best of Dermstore’s Jet Set Edit with code NYP20
• 20% off the ESW Beauty Awaken Your Skin Revitalizing 4-Step Skincare Set with code NYP20
• 24% off the Laura Geller RSVP-Ready Big Night Out Full Face Travel Makeup Palette
• 34% off the Patchology Serve Chilled on Ice Eye Patches (5 Pairs)
• 22% off the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Sunscreen SPF 60

And because nothing is better than finding a beauty product you love on sale, I also rounded up the best deals worth shopping before the summer travel season officially kicks off. From luxury staples to under-the-radar favorites, don’t be surprised if you keep reaching for these items once you return home.

Jet-setting somewhere? Dermstore recently launched its Jet Set Edit, and I’m wholly obsessed. Inside the chic striped pouch, you’ll find favorites from slip, Sunday Riley, Moroccanoil and more. Plus, our exclusive discount code will score you 20% off; just be sure to use promo code NYP20 at checkout.

To revitalize your skin on the go, the ESW Beauty Awaken Your Skin Revitalizing 4-Step Skincare Set is the ideal kit. It’s packed with a facial mist, sheet mask, eye patches and a hydrating lip treatment. Use promo code NYP20 at checkout to take 20% off your order!

Whether you’re traveling or simply want to simplify your at-home makeup routine, this Laura Geller palette is one I’m currently obsessing over and worth adding to your travel bag. It comes with everything you need for a full face of glam: setting powder, bronzer, highlighter, cream blush and more. Plus, it’s under $40 on Amazon.

If you know me, you know I love me some under-eye patches. Now, the oh-so-refreshing pairs from Patchology are bundled and discounted for only $10. Perfect for beating that jet-lag puffiness!

With summer *very* much on its way, a solid sunscreen is the single item you can’t vacation without. I recommend the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Sunscreen SPF 60 because it feels like skincare and it’s small enough to fit inside a travel bag.

More tested summer beauty favorites

unbelievable staying power

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Gel Skin Tint

I’ve written all about this product before, and it’s one of the best tinted moisturizers I’ve used. It doesn’t budge (seriously, Milk Makeup, tell me how you do it!) and it’s a surefire summer staple in my routine. I wore it every single day I was on vacation and was amazed by its staying power.

easy to apply on the go

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm Contour Stick

This is one of those swipe-and-go products that makes my fair skin look natural and healthy. I love how small the applicator is and how it doesn’t streak even in intense heat. Go, Gaga!

best glow

Iconic London Blurring Blush Stick

I know there are many blush sticks that are popular, but please make this your next purchase. It’s pigmented but not in a clownish way. I love the natural flush and how it blends like butter. Seriously, worth every penny.

a pout to photograph

Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil

I just reviewed the new Summer Fridays bronzer (can we scream “love” from the rooftops?), so obviously the brand is a staple. This lip product gives me the most flattering pout that’s juicy, pigmented and photo-ready. I cannot run out — I won’t let it happen.

To simplify your cleansing routine

Garnier Sensitive Skin Micellar Water

Not all beauty products have to cost more than $15 to be amazing. The proof of that is found in my favorite facial makeup remover. I’ve used this for more than a decade. It makes my skin feel completely cleansed without that stripped feel and also removes the need to have multiple cleansing products in your bag.
