With Coachella right around the corner, (April 15-24), it’s time to get yourself prepared for the two weekends ahead. If you haven’t already started packing for your fun weekend getaway, we have got you covered. We added a bunch of different options for you to try like a cool transparent bag, and so much more.

If you’re lucky enough to be attending this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, then look no further, because you’re going to want all of these necessities for your trip. From beauty products to shoes, accessories, and more – there’s something for everyone on this list.

While Coachella is so much fun, there are a lot of aspects to it that can be very stressful. First off, it’s in the middle of the desert in Palm Springs, California. So, that right there poses an issue because it’s going to be super hot and you’ll be in the sun all day. Also, since it takes place in a wide-open field, the amount of walking you’ll be doing is enough to burn thousands of calories, so it’s important you have the proper shoes, and that you stay hydrated all weekend long.

Once you’re on the music festival grounds, you’re there for the whole day, which is why you want to make sure you have everything you could possibly need with you, without being too heavy and weighing you down. Thankfully, some popular beauty brands made travel products specifically aimed for Coachella and traveling, so that you can have your fave products with you, without carrying a million things. You can shop all of our picks, below!
