SHOP

You need a backpack that goes with your outfit and can carry all your mini beauty essentials with you, this beautiful backpack just screams ‘festival companion’ to us.


A bum bag

To avoid carrying bags full of things, get a bumbag and use your hands for more important things, like waving glowsticks and applying temporary tattoos.


A reusable water bottle

Freehawk 2pcs Eco-friendly Collapsible Water Bottle ($6.99)
SHOP

Some venues prohibit the use of glass bottles and will confiscate them immediately, so take a collapsible water bottle that you can clip onto your bag and will stay cold and fresh.


A portable charging dock

TRIPLE C Beauty Bar Mirrored Charger ($30)
SHOP

Take a portable charger that you can clip onto your bag and that doubles up as a mirror so you can check you aren’t getting a sunburn while you keep your Instagram feed updated with festival picks. Top tip: register your valuables with Immobilize before you go and write your address on anything you’d like to be returned if found.
