Ever landed after a long flight, just wanting to get home or to your hotel, but remembered you still needed to grab a few things? The idea of wandering through the shops after hours in the air can feel exhausting. That’s where Melbourne Airport’s Laneway makes life easier.
If you’re flying internationally through Melbourne Airport, you can pre-order your favourite duty free beauty products online. Shop up to 60 days before your flight, then simply collect your order when you arrive.
Not sure what to add to your list? Here’s an easy guide to building a post-flight pamper kit that helps you feel fresh and ready to face the day.
Soothing Skincare Essentials
Dry air, interrupted sleep, plus hours of travel? Long flights don’t just leave you tired. They take a toll on your skin, too. That’s where a few smart duty free skincare picks come in.
A gentle cleanser helps clear away the travel build-up, while a rich serum or night cream can bring back softness and comfort. Got a busy day ahead? A refreshing face mist or a dab of eye cream can help you feel more awake before you even leave the terminal. And for those late-night landings, a soothing face oil is perfect for giving your skin some quiet time to recover while you sleep.
Time-Saving Makeup
Getting out the door with kids in tow is already a mission, so when it comes to makeup, it needs to be quick and easy. That’s where a few duty free makeup staples can help.
A tinted moisturiser or BB cream gives you a fresh base in seconds. Add a cream blush that works on both cheeks and lips, and you’re already halfway there.
For tired eyes, a swipe of neutral eyeshadow and smudge-proof mascara helps you look more awake (even if you don’t feel it). Finish with a hydrating balm or long-wear lipstick that can handle a full day of mum life.
Go-To Fragrances
Some days, a quick spritz of fragrance is all it takes to feel like yourself again. Whether you’ve just stepped off a flight and are heading home or jumping straight into a full day, a light, uplifting scent can give you a little lift. An eau de toilette is perfect for that. It’s fresh, not too strong, and easy to reapply when you need a moment of calm.
If you prefer something that lasts all day without, a richer eau de parfum can make you feel more put-together, even if you’re running on little sleep. It lingers through the chaos and helps you feel like you’ve reset without needing to stop or freshen up again.
Sort Your Beauty Haul Before You Fly
Stepping off a flight knowing your beauty haul is ready and waiting for you makes the trip home feel much smoother. You can collect your pre-ordered items and get straight back to your family without adding extra stops to an already long day.
To keep your next trip simple, shop on Melbourne Airport’s Laneway. Browse the collection, choose the beauty products you love, and place your order today for an easy pick-up after you land.
