This is a very belated reply, but I, too, am a huge fan of Sunday Riley face oils (I use Juno). For travel, I decant it into an eyedrop dropper (like the very small ones from Visine), and it works perfectly. Nothing leaks, the small size fits perfectly into my toiletries bag, and I no longer have to travel without. I saw this tip on another travel web site, and it made my skin very, very happy, so I feel I must spread the good face oil news.

And on the topic of Sunday Riley, I will also put in a plug for Good Genes,* which is absolutely worth every penny. I've lost track how many times I've repurchased at this point, but it is a product that really, truly makes a noticeable difference. The bottle lasts a fairly long time (I think I rebuy twice a year?), as I only use it a couple nights a week, and it is magnificent when mixed with the Ceramic Slip cleanser to make a quick "flash facial." That also puts it, and Ceramic Slip (both of which I decant into small Muji bottles) in must-travel list, as it's perfect for reviving tired skin after long flights.

* Occasionally someone will claim that the Lactic Acid serum from The Ordinary, which sells for $6 or so, is a dupe for Good Genes. Alas, it is not. Not anywhere close. A lot of The Ordinary stuff is really good, but I will continue to shell out the $105 or whatever for Good Genes.
