OVERVIEW:
PACKING TIPS:
- Kitchen storage bags or ziplock bags are great to separate products.They also prevent messy leakage of liquids or powders from getting everywhere.
- If you don't have any sample size, travel size or small products; transfer some of the product into a small travel container. [Sets can be found in retail stores travel section]
- Don't just limit yourself to makeup bags and carrying cases, you can also use your dust bag and pillowcases to pack your stuff.
- Lay out all the products you think you you might need first, then see if you have any dual use or multi-use products for two or more purposes, to limit over packing.
- Mini makeup palettes that come with eyeshadows, blush, bronzer and lip products are great way to save space!
Hope this was helpful ! Take care and have a safe trip! XOXO
