2011 will go down in my diary as the Year of the Suitcase. I took a overall of five trips this year, which is nothing, I know, compared to hard-core travelers, however it was a great deal for me.
And one great side impact of those trips was that they required me to upgrade my approach to packing. I went from starting the year as a competitor for “Crappiest Packer Ever,” as well as ended it as a middleweight semi-pro packer with a handful of new tricks.

If you have plans to fly (or drive) over the next few weeks, right here are three things you can do to eek out a few more cubic feet for makeup as well as beauty in your luggage.
1. The door is a jar
I’m a gal with a weakness for products, as well as there’s only so much space in those TSA-approved plastic baggies. By filling up bit sample jars with your must-have skincare as well as other liquid products, you can fill your enabled plastic bag to the brim.
Sometimes you can discover the bit bottles at drugstores, locations like Bed bath & beyond as well as even Target, however I like the free ones from Nordstrom. They hold less than an ounce, however for most things that’s usually sufficient product to last me a couple of weeks.

(I ask my preferred makeup artists if I can have a couple of them every so frequently when I go to a counter.)
Don’t fail to remember 3-1-1
The U.S. transportation security administration (TSA) 3-1-1 program limits the size as well as number of liquid-filled products that can be brought aboard planes in carry-on bags. Travelers can bring aboard liquid-filled bottles no larger than 3.4 ounces (100ml) by volume as well as must store those bottles in a single quart-sized, remove plastic zip-top bag.
Oh, as well as ever since the time I accidentally utilized my deal with cleanser on my hair, I’ve taken to putting labels on the jars, little rectangular ones from office Depot, as well as I compose the name of each product with a water resistant Sharpie, just in situation the outside of the jar gets wet.
For my next trip — as well as yes, I admit it seems a bit OCD — I plan to add numbers to the labels to suggest the order in which the products should be used.
I assumption I just like the concept of seeing the jars all lined up on a shelf…
(TIP: empty get in touch with lens situations will likewise work in a pinch.)
2. Does the brand make a travel version?
Some beauty products aren’t simple to capture into new jars, like a dry shampoo, as well as for those things, I try to find travel-size versions, like the bit 1.4-ounce bottle of Oscar Blandi Pronto invisible Volumizing dry Shampoo Spray To Go ($11), the portable Clarisonic Mia ($119) as well as the 2-once bottles of Bumble & Bumble gentle Shampoo as well as super rich Conditioner ($7) in the photo at the top.
There are a few stores I regular to discover portable products, like Sephora (they usually keep them near the money register), Target as well as Bed bath & Beyond.
And then after your trip, if there’s still any type of product left in the minis, you can always stock them for emergencies in your car, a purse, a fitness center bag or on your desk at work.
3. keep a small bag for touch-ups
If I have to catch a 6 a.m. flight as well as requirement to get out of the home by 3, I youngster you not, I’ll get up at 2 to make sure I have sufficient time to do very little hair as well as makeup, since I like to look put together at airports, even at jacked up times (you just never understand whom you’ll meet!).
True story — A buddy of mine, when she was just about to graduate from business school, was freaking out about not having a job. She decided to go to her household over spring break as well as took an early morning cross-country flight.
Even though her flight was early, she decided to do her hair, put on some makeup as well as used a nice outfit. On the plane, wouldn’t ya understand it, she ended up sitting next to an executive at Revlon, as well as by the end of the flight, she’d scored herself a job.
On trips I likewise like to bring a small makeup bag full of touch-up products like powder, liner, blush as well as lipgloss, as well as I keep it separate from my larger travel makeup bag, usually in my handbag or in a front pocket in my luggage.
That way, if I have to spruce up, I don’t have to go digging with my luggage to discover what I need.
