Ciao! I'm off to Italy! Ten days away gives me a chance to test out new beauty loot and my PR friends were kind enough to send over a bunch of travel sized products to take along. Even though I'm bringing travel sized products, I still think my suitcase will be overweight, because I'm bringing a ton of them! As I was packing I fell in love with a few kits that stood out among the rest. These five are worth taking along whether you're doing a beach weekend, road trip or a serious get-a-way.

Ahava Starter Kit for Men, $18

*Of course, Joe's bringing his Ray Bans. I'm obsessed with aviators and often borrow his. They're a bit big for my face, but it's what I like about this pair. You can find them here.
