I downloaded your list but can’t locate it. It’s not in my mailbox nor my downloads.
Hi, which list? I have a few new on traveltipsbylaurie.com in the top right corner is Freebies...@@sherrysenn2177
I love your use of the word “squishability”
Had to bring it back!
Hi Laurie
A tip to help a bag to stand up is to cut a plastic chopping food mats. to fit into the bottom of the zip up bag. I sometimes cut two to make it firmer.
Thanks for all your great information. Cheers Lola.
I love that hack Lola!! Thanks!
I put cardboard in the bottom of my personal-item bag to help it stand upright and add structure to it.
BRILLIANT!
"You're never going to see these people again." 😂 You are right! I love it!
Having been a luxury goods purchasing agent for a while, I could easily sell those bags to them as genuine, but I wouldn’t because my platform is *condup* , which has integrity and quality.
I found that a contact lens case (the flat ones, with the two compartments side by each) is the PERFECT container for primer and foundation for a weekend. Just by ditching those two bottles, I save a TON of space!
Any tip that helps save space is worth sharing!
I recently traveled Heathrow to Germany, carry-on only. This tip saved me so much stress over liquids: after the security check in the terminal is a Boots store, basically the UK version of CVS. There i bought all my travel size liquids. There are full size options, as well. Most of the travel sizes come in squishable pouches, so shrink as product is used on your trip. I also learned from the cashier that i could order online and it is ready for pick up on arrival. BTW, the prices are the same as the stores not in the airport.
What?!!! That’s an amazing tip if flying to London Heathrow!
Excellent tip! Thank you.
Spending $20,000 on a tote bag is the obvious choice, rather than spending $200 on a *condup* bag and investing the remaining $19,800 since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to increase in value.
I wanted to say thank you so much for making this channel! I’ll be flying cross-country in 3 months, so I’ve binged a few of your videos, followed several of the links you shared, and purchased a few items. 😊 I appreciate the time and care you’ve put into these videos to help make traveling less stressful and more enjoyable for others.
I hope they help!
Hey Laurie and all travel nerds! We just came back from a 2 week trip to London. I’m thankful to have found this channel. I packed in a carry on and personal bag and had plenty of room! A few tips. Pack your cubes sideways across what will be the bottom of your bag when zipped. Makes a huge difference in space! Also, if you have potions that you can’t live without, get eye dropper size bottles from Hobby Lobby in the paint palette aisle. London is very drying to skin and I needed my hylaronic acid drops. Perfect size. I even use it at home as it causes me to not over use and waste my serum.
I have to try that new packing method!
I have an obsession with travel cosmetic pouches and the little refillable containers! I consider it a fun challenge to see how little you can get by with, while still indulging yourself. LOVE this video! (actually, all of them!)
Yes, whatever works and saves space!
Same! ❤
@@TravelTipsbyLauriewhere can I find the tiny zip neoprene/silicone bags?
Hi, Jill! All links will be in the first comment of most videos and in a paragraph below each video at the ...Show More part. I think you are talking about these 35 littls bags: amzn.to/3EmxLVN @@jillberggren1400
On a recent trip I used Neutrogena Fragrance Free Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes Singles. Each single is sealed in a tiny packet, easy to open, and the towelette opens into a nice size cleansing towelette. Removes all makeup including eye make-up.
I got those too.
Yes. I always use these!
I do this with bug repellent. I buy the cloths instead of spray.
I've switched from using a stick deodorant. Although I have a travel size, it was still pretty big. Lume makes a cream deodorant which I can decant into a small tub. They also make deodorant wipes. As someone with sensitive skin, I was happy to discover that I had no bad reactions to the product. I highly recommend!
I always put the liquid items that I might want to use on the flight such as single use eye drops, small container of moisturizer, etc into a snack size Ziploc bag and then put that in my liquids bag. That way after security I can just move it into my personal item bag.
I've also switched over to using clear or mesh bags for my little pouches. It's a shame because I have so many cute little pouches but I find being able to see what's inside the pouches is so useful that I only do The see-through kind of pouches now.
Love those tiny medicine Ziploc bags! I have the same ones that you show. I use them for my supplements as well as for lots of other little tiny things such as bobby pins, hair ties, earrings, small necklace, etc. So useful!
I decant everything. I make a game out of seeing exactly how much product I'm going to need and taking just that much. Okay maybe a teeny tiny bit more but basically aiming for exactly what I need.
The smallest containers I've discovered are these tiny clam shells. They're perfect for something like eye cream that you really need only the littlest bit of. Great for makeup, too.
I get them from TKB trading company. They're called clamshell cutie pies.
I love Lume deodorant and those wipes. I usually buy their small sample tubes so I can try different scents, and they’re small enough so you don’t have to decant if you don’t want to.
Clamshell cutie pies are lovely! I just ordered some for an upcoming trip. I think these will be perfect for a few things that I love but need a much smaller travel container for. TY for the rec.
My husband travels to S Korea, Japan and they DO NOT allow medicine to be in anything but the original bottle it comes in.
Laurie thank you so much for the links. I know they are a lot of extra time, but I bought multiple things through your links this week. I rarely fly, but I travel frequently by car. I still pack as light as possible because I have to carry everything myself. Stairs and overpacking are a bad combo.
You are so welcome!
I tent camp very frequently. I can pack all my clothes and toiletries in a single backpack for a 5 day trip. I have a lanyard with small 3oz bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soap in a gallon zip lock bag and have toiletries left over. I use travel sized toothpaste and floss, and a foldable travel toothbrush.
That is such a smart way to take them to the campground showers!!
When in France and Germany I’ve found that bandaids or other “health” items are sometimes available only in a pharmacy. I know that there are supermarkets in suburban areas, but in cities or tiny towns there may not be any stores that carry everything like we’re used to in the states. And, of course, prices in specialty stores are very high. Bandaids take no space and weigh nothing. So, evaluate packing choices considering size, quantity you actually need, and the irritation of not having at your fingertips-I would never leave tiny, just in case, items at home.
Flight attendant here, I saw a hack on TikTok if I see her again I will leave you the info. She put a piece of plastic on top of the container with liquid then put the lid on she said it would not leak. I'm going to try it. BTW, LHR is suppose to lighten up this fall that will help us a lot. I open for new hack. Keep up good the good work.
Hi Laurie. I like to travel with Oil of Olay Water Activated Makeup Wipes. They are dry and suds up when when you add water. To rinse my face I rinse the soap out of the cloth and use it again. Works wonderfully and is one less liquid to worry about.
I use those too and find if I cut them in half they still work well.
Me too. Saves a ton of weight!
I love buying travel toiletries… they r cute… like an appetizer for meal(clothes)
They are so fun!
You’re so right about the travel size containers! What was I thinking all these years?! Right…I wasn’t thinking! Thanks for another great video!
Right?! Experience teaches me every time!
I ordered the three pouches and used them on a trip last week. Wow, what a difference it made to divide my makeup into three bags rather than taking my makeup bag. I didn't even realize how much unnecessary space that bag was taking up until you mentioned that. I put one of the three in my personal item bag and the other two in my carry-on suitcase. I love how they stand up on their own and the fact that you included that in your recommendation. Thank you for the tip! :-)
I do love how handy they are.
I like to keep make-up and toiletries to bare minimum. Foundation in a dollar store contact lens case, 1 neutral shade of eye shadow. 1 eye brow pencil, lipstick and mascara. Less is freedom especially if sharing a bathroom. Trader Joe’s has a wonderful and inexpensive shampoo bar. I can buy most stuff at the destination easily. I try to keep it to what I must have. It is amazing how little you really need when traveling and lighter is much easier to carry and maneuver in an airport.
So true! I pack it all and then sometimes do not use it-especially at a beach.
This is what I'm thinking.....buy most stuff at destination and hopefully will have used it all b4 returning home
Yes, so many of my viewers do that. @@lynetterene
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I just found you this morning and immediately subscribed. Keeping things simple can cross over to our entire lives, not just travel -e.g. - home, work, etc
I put a minimalistic toiletry kit in a small pouch in my personal item, and the remainder in my carry on suitcase. That way, if they gate check my carry on bag and lose it, I have the most important essentials. For example, a small zipper pill pouch with toothpaste tabs and a small foldable toothbrush in the minimal kit, and real toothpaste and toothbrush in my full toiletry kit.
Yes, divide them up!
Save the little hotel shampoo/conditioner/lotion bottles to refill for next trip.
More hotels are starting to use refillable bottles rather than the travel size pre Covid 😢
I bought that Tripped toiletry set recently for a trip and love it! Can pack so much in it, doesn't take up much space, and love that I can clip the TSA bag to my personal item for easy placement in security bin if needed.
I love that hack! the @trippedtravelgear is great quality.
I also started using a sponge instead of a soap dish. The sponge packs easily. I can keep a bar of soap or my shampoo bar on it for a mess free counter or no slip soap holder in the bathroom.
I don’t worry about shampoos when traveling. I just use what’s provided. I only bring minimal toiletries too. TFS.
Thanks for the tips. I have converted to solid shampoo. I also decant any lotions and watery liquids or essential oils to much smaller containers and airless pumps. 5ml or 10 ml can get me by for more than two weeks and they take up less space. The airless pumps also help you to get all your product out and you dont have to dip your fingers in a small pot, keeping the product cleaner.
Thanks for sharing!!
I love when you say “smush and squush”!
haha
I'm so eternally grateful that I tested how much shampoo, etc., I actually use for x number of showers (I don't wear makeup, so that's not a factor for me), because it meant that I could pack the exact amount I needed for camp back in July - I keep a full set of full size toiletries (including hair brush, toothbrush, etc.) at my parents' house, so I normally only pack the bare bones of what I would need if I got stuck overnight on a layover, but for camp I had to actually pack everything I would need for the week, and, because I tested how much I actually used of what, I was able to bring the perfect amount without overpacking any of it.
I definitely agree on the bulkiness of the double-locking GoToob bottles - it's annoying. The old ones are so much better.
Even some of the tiny single-gate rural regional airports are getting the machines where you don't have to take your liquids out, so I'm assuming that those machines are the reason that the rule might go away. My home airport had to completely change around their security setup to accommodate the new machine, though I think I do prefer the new setup to the old (meaning the actual configuration of where the machine is and where the line goes - I already had Pre before they switched machines, so I already didn't have to pull anything out) - in less than a year, they went from not even having a boarding pass/ID scanner to having those new fancy machines.
On another note, I recently went to your website for the very first time, and realized that I think I actually had Chris as one of my pilots earlier this year, I just didn't know it at the time - I always listen for the pilots' names because my friend's dad and brother are also pilots for that airline, but now I'll be listening extra closely for Chris's as well.
Thank you for all your good advice. We missed our flights home due to the hurricane last week....and had to fly standby to get home. I felt your pain....they took our carry ons from us. Got home and my new Level8 carry on was damaged. Didn't notice until I got home so I didn't think I could file a claim with Delta as we did not stop at the delta baggage office at the airport to report it. Maybe you could do a travel video on what to do if your luggage is damaged by the airline. My new level8 is dented permanently and some of the stitching is pulled loose. Sigh. But I enjoyed traveling with the level 8, the tripped toiletry case, and the striped backpack.....all of which I learned about from you. Thanks a million!
Hi Cheryl!! So sad with you. I would contact delta for sure!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Update: I emailed Level8 and explained I had damage to my textured carry on after only 1 flight. They had me send pictures and then they sent a new carry on to me. Great product support.
Oh wow, that is impressive!@@Cheryl28100
On our recent flight to Florida from Ohio, we were told we did not need to remove our liquids bag from our carry-ons or personal bags. So definitely some airports are already implementing the new rule.
Not implementing the new rule. They probably had the new machines at that airport - not all airports have those machines yet.
Same here. Very recent round trip flights Orlando-Denver. Told in TSA line not to remove liquids bag from carry-on or personal item bag.
It is not recommended to move sunscreen into new containers. The sunscreen is formulated for its container and you could be compromising the formula. Just wanted to let you know this ❤️
Oh wow, I did NOT know this!
Sushmita: very true to NOT remove fm original container, instead buy a smaller one or get a few samples - sunscreens are very expensive so you wudnt want them "not to work"
I had no idea. Thank you for the info.
In general, anything that comes in an opaque container should stay in an opaque container! UV damages many products, from shampoo to hydrogen peroxide.
I use a sunscreen stick, shiesido makes a great one that you can apply over makeup.
On a recent trip where a dop bag wouldn't fit, I suggested to my travel companion to separate items into squishable containers and pack the empty dop bag for use at our destination. Worked perfectly. Thanks Laurie!
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent tips, Laurie! I very learned the hard way, that I don't need nearly as much shampoo, moisturizer, etc. as I think I need. Smaller containers really will do.
Wonderful!
I am kind of obsessed with decanting just about everything. Tiny air pump bottles, spray bottles and dropper bottles are available on Amazon in which I decant liquid foundation, face creams, serums, etc. As a result I can take just about everything I normally use even on a 3 week trip. I can fit everthing I need into the quart bags for my husband and I, allowing us to fly with carry-on only most of the time.
I share your decanting obsession! I call myself the queen of decanting!
What are the air pump bottles used for?
@TravelTipsbyLaurie Actually, they are 'airless' pump bottles. I use them for serums, lotions, etc. that aren't really supposed to be exposed air.
Sometimes, though, through security, with the liquids bag you’re demonstrating, I’ve had a TSA person (domestically) not accept that it was “quart size”. Literally was going to throw my stuff out. Fortunately, I had a quart size bag in my backpack, so I just put all the stuff from the nice pouch into the quart sized bag. It fit, of course. I’m sure I gave him a snarky look after. 😆
My new mantra: "everything squish able" will be in my packing brain from now on :) Thankyou for this informative video! I really appreciated how to downsize everything. I always seem to take way too much and it's so heavy.
I take too much still, but we need more trips to practice packing lol.
Thank you for another great video. I tried several of the toothpaste pellets, before I found one I liked and thatworked well for me. I have a food dehydrator so , I used to just dehydrated the toothpaste I used at home. I have a sensitivity to some toothpaste so it is not something I want to just try on a trip. A snack sized ziploc bag can hold weeks worth of pre moistened balls or pads with your face cleaner or astringent and it is very flat. Thank you again for showing us the possibilities.
So smart!!
A hint, before traveling put what you think you need into smaller containers and use for the number of days that you are traveling, all face creams etc, mine are permanently in those sized due to the fact that I go swimming several times a week, don't need full sized bottles in the bag, by also using a mans toiletry bag saves space in my swim bag. Have a separate makeup bag in the car, with hair clips etc.
Yes to London Heathrow!!! Was not aware and lost a couple of things due to their size!!! Was connecting to Paris then Rome. Was such a hassle as we got in late due to weather and had to rush to catch the next flight!!!
And so many security checkpoints when connecting in Europe.
Thanks for another great video. I use the Olay Daily Facials Cleansing Wipes. Since they are water activated it's like using a super soft wash cloth, and it takes another liquid out of my liquids bag. I also now use your suggestion of putting cotton balls saturated with liquid eye cleanser in a small zip-lock bag. That works great and takes out another liquid.
I use those for travel as well, they work great! I've been on a mission for switching to cruelty free products, unfortunately I can't find an alternative to those olay cleansing clothes. I've considered trying the cruelty free brands I use balms with disposable face clothes, but that adds more bulk for traveling.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great tips! I was pleasantly surprised during my recent travels that I didn't have to take my toiletries out. I flew out of several different airports. I would still recommend bring ready to just in case though.
I also decant my deodorant. It’s the creamy kind that squishes through some slots at the top of the bottle. So I just squish enough for my trip and put it in a small decanting container and apply it with my fingertips on my trip.
Hmmm that's cool!
Hi Laurie, I have done most of my traveling by car in the last few years, so my arrangements are less space-limited. I was lucky to find you some months ago because I am about to travel to Europe with my husband and children. I take care of the packing for the whole family, and instead of carrying one big toiletry bag like when we go camping, I purchased bags in the style of your favorite one.
I just needed the clear bags, so I chose another brand which I really liked because of the quality but also because it gave me the option of black or pink colors. I bought a set of each and color-coded all my essentials. One for my liquid toiletries, one for my dry ones(not needed but great system), one for our medicines, and one for my makeup, hair ties, etc. The fact that they are clear helps us know what is in each, and I can clearly review my lists. The handle is a winner in many aspects.
My tip: if you have items that need last-minute packing because you only have one of them (i.e., contact solution, eye drops, perfume), you attach the bag to the outside of your carry-on so you remember to store the last-minute products the day of your trip.
I only take travel sized bottles to travel by car or air. I can manage a week or more without my preferred cosmetics and lotions. I also use the clear plastic liquid bags and the bar soap bag. Love them both! Thanks for another great video.
Hi Laurie! I’m not sure what foundation makeup you or anyone else packs, I like to try different beauty products and Sephora gives out free samples and I went and got 3 samples in a small container of foundation and packed that in my liquids bag and it held up just fine! And was plenty for a 5 day trip
Great hack to save space!
Right on 😊. In addition, this sample idea was idyllic when stores gave out perfume in sample tubes. Are you thinking those tubes were so small, ….yup. A few weeks prior to the trip while shopping for minimalistic needed item at a different store location would pick up an additional perfume sample tube
In continuation of above reply, ( phone slipped out of hand, text sent w/o completion 🙄. )
The sample perfume cards at the counter (w/ your fav perfume scent) works well like a scented drawer sachet for any luggage, between clothing, or even as a book marker when not using an e-book. 😊
🚀 Happy Travels.
Please go easy on fragrance during your flight-all those sensitive will appreciate your consideration. Keep this in mind if you sample at airport shops!
Appreciate the comment, Thank you. Absolutely agree, refrain from wearing perfume is a great consideration for others while traveling in/on any form of transportation. 😊
I pack very few if any liquids. I love my solid shampoo and conditioner bars. They are really small. About the size of 4 stacked quarters each, and are good for around 20 washes. I also use sunscreen stick rather than liquid. Also, bar face cleaner (I cut the bar into 4 sections and bring only one) . I never need to use the travel containers because I bring very little liquid. The only liquid I bring is a small travel size moisturizer.
Note: I never travel with more than one carryon rollaboard and one tote. For anything less than 6 days, I just bring the tote.
Heathrow isn’t the only airport to make you use their bag. Edinburgh is doing the same. Although I managed to get through a few days ago with my ziploc bag. They are more strict than any other airport we have traveled through. I was also warned that anything that smears between your fingers (like lip balm) is considered a liquid and needs to go into the bag. I also bought the toiletry kit you recommended and love it. I keep it in my backpack in case I get the dreaded “there’s no more overhead space, you need to check your carryon.”
Lush bar shampoo and soap is my favorite too.
Thanks for sharing about their security screening!
Traveled through Heathrow in June and waved my small Tom Bihn bag at the security person, kind of asking "is this okay?" Both times I was allowed to use it and did NOT have to decant into their stupid plastic bags. Fingers crossed the same happens in December (but I won't hold my breath😳)
2 years ago roughly, your videos are why i tried gold bond diabetic lotion. I now use it exclusively as well as my son who's eczema gets horrific.
Me too! Best tip ever. My skin is so happy!
Hi Laurie thanks for all of your tips n tricks. I am in WI and we are going on an Alaskan Cruisetour in July and I am attempting carryon only for the first time in my life!! So thanks for the years of research. I have been addicted to all of your videos as I obsess about being successfully prepared for carryon only. Safe travels!!
Be sure to check the weather b/c it can be really hot in Anchorage. And have a blast!!
You are amazing. How do you keep coming up with great new travel tips?
God keeps giving me a different take or perspective every time I go somewhere.
I don’t take one bigger toiletry bag, but two or three smaller mesh ones.
Then you can “smoosh” them in around the edges of your bag.
I save every teeny container I come across.
I hate GoToobs, but their GoTubbs are amazing.
The one inch high ones can hold nearly three weeks of toothpaste, face cream, etc.
Tip: bar shampoo does not lather in hard water, as I found out in Italy.
Always nice to see you, Laurie!
Where is your dog theses days!?
Thanks for the tips. They will come in handy on my next trip
Great!
About the 'Makeup Eraser' cloths...use your regular makeup remover/cleanser with them. (I apply the cleaner/MU remover to my face first, not the cloth.) I know they are supposed to be used without cleanser, but I find them very effective with cleanser. This method gets into my lashes and around my hairline the best. I just toss mine into a mesh laundry bag to launder. When I travel, I will bring 2-3 of the mini ones with me & handwash as needed.
Laurie I want to thank you so much for your videos. My husband and I flew for the first time to Montana. All of your advice made going through the security line a breeze. Our flights went smoothly and it is because of all of your tips from what to pack to the flight itself. Thank you so much…..
I am so glad. It’s a beautiful state
I've been slowly building my travel toiletry essentials and couldn't for the life of me figure a good way to pack my makeup remover until you suggested that I decant it. It's a solid balm and while the container it's in is small, it could've been smaller - now I have space for my face cloth! Thank you :)
Yay so glad I could help!
Another travel site recommended airless pump travel bottles. GAME CHANGER!! They do not "over dispense" so I'm not wasting toner or whatever, and they take up half the size of the silicone travel bottles. Concerning those "beehive" containers . . . I succumbed and tried them, but I did not like trying to get the stuff out of the container. Didn't even think about having room for expansion due to pressure but they were in the belly of the plane and did not leak.
People have said good things about the beehive things.
Your lotion spotty made me thing of how I deal with containers that are almost empty. When I have a tube of hand lotion that is “empty” I cut the tube in half and get every last bit out. You slip the closed end over the end with the opening for a fairly airtight seal. I wouldn’t travel with it, but it’s nice to get every thing you pay for. For bottles of lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, I cut them in half with a serrated bread knife and use a clean kitchen spatula to get everything in a quart zip lock bag. Snip a little off of one corner of the bag and squeeze it out almost like a frosting bag. Again, I get everything out of the container, and there is a lot left when you get to the point that the pump doesn’t work anymore. I have the Command Shower Caddy in my shower and leave the zip lock bags with the open end up and they don’t leak. I wouldn’t do this for face products with active ingredients or SPF because contact with air and light may make them ineffective.
I have found the Cadence capsules are great for keeping my liquids TSA compliant and leak-free. They work wonderfully. They may be a bit pricey, but they are of good quality. Never had an issue with them.
Good to know!
I recently bought these had a coupon to use they are high priced but they actually have come in handy on three trips now ❤
This isn’t the best hack out there, but my family has some allergies and cannot buy toiletries in most stores. I plan to send (to another country) some of what we need to a friend’s house ahead of time. Might not be cheap, buy will save some space. They will let us know if there is a shipping problem. They can use our left overs.
Just came home from our Canadian Rockies trip. I took your advice, and getting through TSA went so smoothly. Thanks for all of your advice😊.
Great job! Are they so beautiful? I went at the end of Sept last year.
@TravelTipsbyLaurie Yes, very beautiful. Going back next year...so much more to see.
I prefer a gel anti perspirant but can't find it in a small size bottle only seem to find the solid roll up in a smaller size. Anyone have a suggestion on something to decant into a small size container-is there anything similar to the roll up with the little slits on top like the original Arrid container?
Not that I can think of...
Someone else in the comments mentioned they dispense out the portion needed into a small container and just apply it with their fingertips during their trip. 😃☝🏼
Laurie you share sooo many useful tips!! I really appreciate it, useful tips in the comments too❤️😘
So glad!
A two ounce bottle of Sea to Summit Wilderness Wash - it does me for shampoo, dish soap, and laundry detergent for hand washing!
I found a clamshell plastic bag that i love because it opens up that I can get into easily.
That is great!!
There you go with ‘smushing” and sqush” I LOVE that. Lol. Always good advice. Question: If you put liquids in a smaller bag, like the purple plastic, could you put that inside the quart bag of other liquids to carry on. Thanks Lauri!
I guess you could. They are not being strict at all
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thanks. I would think they would. So, every time I watch one of these videos, I end up spending money getting more things off your lists. Ha.
Used the Tripped toiletry case for a 2.5 week vacation. Perfect size and packed it open not zippered shut in my carry on to save space. Thank you for the recommendation.
Have you ever been stopped with the TSA bag from Tripped? It seems larger than a quart size zip lock bag, I was cautious and packed a quart bag inside the TSA zipper pouch just in case I was stopped.
Enjoy the fun presentation and informative travel tips on this you tube channel, as well as all the excellent helpful comments from your wonderful subscriber community. Thank you Laurie and your commenters 🥳
Thanks so much!
I haven’t had to pull out my toiletry bags on my last few trips 😮
Oh good! Your liquids bag or the toiletry item bag?
For make up pallets I combined all my essential make up into one pallet. To include the following:
4 eyeshadows (1powder, 3 CT cream (eyes to mesmerize), setting powder, finishing powder, eye brow pomade, 2 highlighter, 2 contour powders. All in a 5x4 pallet. I had to break and fix the powders but it was easy and so worth it. Instead of several small different containers/pallets I have it all in one. No longer searching for every little product.
So helpful!! What palette do you use?
I can link the products if you like. I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to post it.
But honestly I just searched for “empty eyeshadow pallet” and “empty eyeshadow pan” on Amazon.
Be sure to find a pallet that has the magnet as large as the pallet, as some do not. Also some have a mirror while others do not and cost the same.
Also, the pans I bought are magnetic so no need for attaching additional magnet to pans.
I was able to fit 12 total (each 1”x1”x .12”)pans in the pallet.
Depending what you pack I fit this pallet inside the standing make up brush organizer (one you have featured before, by the way thank you for that😉)
And finally to keep the cream eyeshadows and pomade soft I layered a hard piece of plastic with press and seal I can also show a picture.
So far the creams are soft and everything works for me really well. I love to find new ways to save space.
We travel a lot around Europe and ALWAYS ALWAYS only travel with back packs.
Hope I was clear and this helps. 😉 let me know if you would like links.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie MAC sells empty palettes. What I've done in the past is used a hair dryer to melt the glue on various makeup pans to pry them out and stick them in the MAC. Usually they come out without breaking the powder but if it does, you can put some alcohol with a qtip and stir it and it dries into a solid again.
I have the 3 pack of mesh front pouches. I LOVE that I can visually see the contents.
I really do too. Didn’t use them a lot until last year and love that they stand too.
Again, another great video just in time! I’m a few days out from flying within Canada… Canada is crazy strict with their liquid rules, it’s crazy the bag that they allow is so small for carry-on. You can’t even use one of those plastic TSA approved bags from Amazon. It has to go in their specific liquid bag. If it doesn’t fit they throw it out… I learned from last time and I went there early and picked up one of their liquid bags.
Last time I did just carry-on but this time I’m going for 12 days so I’m just checking a bag as well. I tried to convince myself I was a carry-on only girl but I’m not sure who I was trying to kid 😂 my hair also touches the ground, so I definitely need larger size hair products lol
Haha yep. So do they have liquid bags in the security lanes?
Yes, and they are horrible, as they are long and not squarish- you can fit more in a squarish bag than thr long skinny 1 litre one that Canadian airports want you to use.
@@booksnbeaches7075 Very true. I put stuff in the same size square Ziplock bag and they made me take it out and put it in theirs. Not everything fit back in and they made me toss them! Craziness.
Another great Vlog Laurie! Thank you so much for the tips.
Thanks for watching!
Great tips wish I would have time before my trip to get those little containers lol I will get them when I get back
Have fun!
Thanks, Laurie, for the current update when it comes to packing toiletries. It's always fun and informative to watch.
Sorry this is irrelevant to this video. You have such a soothing voice. If I am watching your videos laying down, I fall asleep so fast 😄 I can't tell you how many times I've had to wake up and rewind😂 Thanks for all your helpful content😊
Seriously going to switch out my large toiletry bag. I get so frustrated with the bulk, especially when traveling with my husband. One toiletry bag in one carry on and divide our liquids into two ziploc bag to take out for security. So nice to hear changes will be coming with TSA scanners. I’ve been through two security where you don’t take anything out. Sooo nice!
Thank you!
Your deodorant stick is huge. I recently figured out, when you get to the end and can't apply it as a stick anymore, there's usually a bunch of product still inside the bottom of the dispenser. Using a small paddle to put it into a little jar works well. Less waste, AND a smaller container for travel. Double win! (You can use that same paddle for applying the product to underarms)
Thanks for this toiletry bag hack!
Thank you Laurie! Heading out once again this week to Knoxville. 😁. Packing light in your black striped backpack and under the seat roller bag.
Ooh nice! Enjoy that areal
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Thank you! Going home to see family.
Thanks for the tips😊
Thank you Laurie, packing for Kauai 🏝️ now!
Thank you for this video. I am going away in a bit and just went through my stuff - so many duplicates, got it down a bit!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Laurie for all your tips.Flying Greece the beginning of October and your videos are so helpful
Oh how beautiful it'll be! What are you wearing?? What is their weather at that time?
The weather should be mid seventies to mid eighties. I will be taking capris and linen pants.I was told to be careful with short dresses because it’s windy. I was wondering if I should stay in an aisle seat( because I tend to need restroom breaks)or a window seat? Flying united from Atlanta
Number one thing to be comfortable on the flight
I like the aisle because of that reason.@@tammycarpenter3770
I upgraded to cadence. It’s very expensive but OMG so convenient and fun to use.
Yay thanks for sharing!
Awesome as always, Lori!
Thank you!
Great video as always Laurie!❤👍
whoops hit the unlike button. Thank you!
As always…I love your videos!
Thank you!
Laurie - you are SO HELPFUL, even for a seasoned traveler-now carry on only 😮 Thank you!!
Yay! Way to go!
As always another great video, thank you
Thank you for all that you share!
So nice of you!
I ❤ the Palette by Pak High Fiver for skincare products! It is a tremendous space saver!!! You're right... you don't need as much product as you think you do. Happy and Safe Travels!
Thanks!
Thank you so much
I use several ziploc freezer bags as toiletry bags.
Thank you for the great space saving tips.
You bet!
Thank you so much for the tips. It helps me.
Having just gone through LHR, they did indeed make me put my liquids in their bag.
Ugh! Why do they do that?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie It's such a waste
Interesting! I went through LHR in May’23 and did not have to do anything different than usual with my liquids.
@@sherriochsner7699 I went through Aug 6th, and they made me use their bag
Not sure, Laurie, but someone commented on a video a while back that Heathrow wasn't the only England airport that has done that (I forget which airport he/she said the other one was), so it might be an England thing and Heathrow is just the most notorious for it - not sure.
I am in love with the Lewis N. Clark travel pill organizer. Game changer🎉❤😊 Love your channel and swear by so many of your favs! (Backpack carryon, fold over makeup brush case in pink, of course! The compression cubes with scenes on them….and more)😊
Yay! Thank you!
Oh yay,a new video!!! ❤
Love this video. Lots of good information. ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
