TV star Ariana Madix is hosting her third season of Love Island USA, which means she’s become a pro at braving the 11-hour flight from Los Angeles to Fiji. Before jetting off to shoot the newest season, she brought us into her bathroom to show off some of her packing non-negotiables: compression socks for the long-haul flight, a K-beauty face mist for a mid-flight refresh, a cooling LED mask, and more.
