If you are a frequent traveler, you know how important it is to pack light.

You may have to leave behind a pair (or two) of shoes, wear the same jeans multiple times or sacrifice your laptop for a tablet. But that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on your beauty routine.

Thanks to cosmetic company e.l.f., travelers can get ready for a night out with just a few travel-friendly staples. And if their compact size weren’t enough to recommend them, these products are also cruelty-free and budget-friendly. Does it get any better?

e.l.f. Essential All Over Cover Stick ($1 each) is a concealer-foundation duo that measures only a couple inches high. It comes in six shades, from ivory to toffee.

e.l.f. Studio 22 Piece Mini On the Go Palette ($10) is a full makeup collection that is only the size of a smartphone. It contains 10 eyeshadows, five lip glosses, three shades of blush and a tube of mascara. The compact also comes with three brushes: a lip brush, powder brush and dual-ended eyeshadow brush.

e.l.f. Studio Makeup Remover Exfoliating Cleansing Cloths ($3 per pack) are the final tool in your compact beauty arsenal. They’re dual-action, working both as a makeup remover and facial cleanser, and the fact that they’re cloth means they won’t count against any liquid restrictions when you fly.

e.l.f.’s cosmetics can be purchased at Target and Kmart, or ordered from the e.l.f. website.
