Trying to fit (or, for that matter, even find) travel-sized versions of your favorite products can take more time than packing itself. But Violet Grey, the beauty and commerce site that stocks goods exclusively recommended by Hollywood’s top makeup artists, is giving passengers everything they need to look refreshed when they step off the plane. The new TSA-friendly beauty kits—available on November 14—are one-stop shops for small iterations of high-end makeup, skin, and hair care.

The first, a luxe makeup and styling kit, is made for the much-needed deplaning refresh, and filled with travel-sized makeup items that all fit neatly on a tray table. From a beauty blender to Guerlain bronzer, a mini Hourglass eyeliner, and Oribe hair texturizer, all the essentials are there. If you’re anything like stylist Linda Rodin, the kit's mini Tom Ford lipstick will come in handy when going straight to a meeting from baggage claim.

The kits cost $125.

And since it’s a challenge to keep skin and hair hydrated on long flights, Violet Grey also created a moisture-centric grab bag. Full of treats to keep you glowing (even after 17 hours at 30,000 feet), the kit includes Tatcha oil, Tata Harper cleanser, Erno Lazslo night cream, and a James Read self-tanning mask.

If you picked up just a couple full-size versions of these products, it would cost over a hundred bucks. So $125 for a kit of 13 pieces is a relative steal—and you'll never have to worry about the TSA confiscating your loot.
