Organisation queen, total goals... girl after my own heart! I'm usually a prepared packer, starting like the week before. Years of Brownie camps and pathological obsession with lists here! 💖
Awesome video Rhian ! That travel bag with the binder is brilliant! I plan my packing ahead in my brain, sometimes I will make a paper list. For makeup, I usually pack the "day of" for the daily use stuff. I pack a few days ahead of time for basic stuff like a clean razor, makeup removing wipes , and/or fancy stuff like 'special occasion highlighters' , etc. Also , I really loved the jewelry bag , that is one of the BEST made jewelry travel bags of those that I have ever seen , and I already own 2 or 3 types of those. Besides Jewelry they can be used for Electronics - chargers, cords , extra flash cards/flash drives( for moving all those photos off your phone!) , extra battery banks, extra ear buds, etc. The jewelry bag you showed- I'd do one with Jewelry , and one with Electronics mixed with my "Girl Scout Kit" . My girl scout kit is stuff like : bandaids, tiny first aid kit, eyeglass repair kit, hem tape, tiny sewing kit with buttons , and stuff like that. i know, it's just a trip but if i have room, I pack like the end of the world is coming. Crazy , I know... (also, that stick concealer from Au Naturale , you showed was really nice !)
Thanks Emily! I'm so glad you enjoyed. I struggled to edit this over a few days with lots of weird stuff going on and just couldn't get the time down any more so figured i'd put it out as a longer video and hope people would enjoy. x
I have always been a pack everything the night before you leave person. But I took a trip in March and packed a week early, and I was so much more relaxed.
Eco Tools is a good cruelty free and vegan brand. They are sold at Target, Ulta, etc. They make different travel sets and if I am not mistaken the whole company is 100% vegan. Wet and Wild makes good brushes too as well as BH Cosmetics and Bdellium Tools.
Rhian, I’ve been waiting for this for a few years. This is perfect for my life right now. I travel on work/holiday for two months out of the year at a time. Thank you for sharing. I have made purchases based on your selections. Petit Vour is my new favorite online shop. I’ve placed my first order, $$$$$ If you have discount codes, right them this way. I always check out using your links. Love from Manhattan, Danielle
I tend to be a day of packer, however, I always mentally walk through my trip and try to anticipate anything and everything I might need(and minimize where possible) all the while making a very detailed list. And I always make sure I give myself 2-3 hours to pack. Needless to say, everyone comes to me for the bandaids.
Love the video! I start packing a week before my trip with clothes, and basic toiletries. Then on the day of, I’ll pack what ever I need that I have to use that morning(ie razor, powder foundation, sunscreen). I’m a planner, so I always go over my bags multiple times to make sure everything I need is packed(ok, so I’m OCD as well.....). I also write out my list of what I need before each trip, so I can check everything off the list.
Thank you so much Rhian! This video will help me out for my trip to San Diego in the summer! Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what foundation/B.B. cream are you wearing? Your skin looks beautiful!
I like to pack a few days before. Where do you like to get your turtleneck tops from? Would you do a glossier review? I think you would like their boy brow gel, eco tools has great travel brushes
I do essential oils, HydroSols, and my makeup the day of. But I do pack clothes, shoes, other non skincare essentials a couple days before. These bags 💼 look amazing! Love the tips in this video! I’m definitely referring back to this video before my next travel!
I agree those Real Techniques mini brushes aren't very useful except the mini foundation brushes are great for applying cream face masks. I have several that have come as gifts with purchase and I never knew what to do with them until I used one to apply a mask. It worked great!
I am a day of packer! or when ever will be the last time I get ready before I leave. As I am getting ready, I pack each item after I use it. That way I dont forget anything!
Love those bags! Rhian, what do you do with the your makeup that is no longer cruelty free? Do you throw it out or use it until it's gone? I've been cruelty free for almost 8 years, so I've seen a lot of brands get bought out. I'm always conflicted what to do with the products I purchased before they sold to a parent company that tests. Thanks!
It really depends what it is! If its something that might be coming up to the end of its shelf life i will get rid of it, some things i keep and use up or see if friends want it and some things i keep and store so i can reference them to find dupes or replacements. x
I got that suntegrity last summer. I brought it out to use it for the first time this year a few days ago... Is it too old after a year? Because it made me get little bumps in the corner of my mouth/chin area! It's been so itchy even though I've been using that zabana healing balm overnight 😥
What happened to the mauve/frosty lilac tutorial you posted the other day? I was watching it, went to make a comment, then my phone crashed, and when it rebooted, the video wasn’t there anymore. I had some questions on the Au Natural cream eyeshadows you were using, and I’ve forgotten the names.....
The video is private for now, i'm hoping to have it live again asap. The creme eyeshadows i used were coffee and syrah (i think) for the main color and then kiki for the lilac highlight xo
Rhian HY Thank you so much for the response. Do you find the cream eyeshadows to be oily or crease a lot? I have very oily skin and eyelids, so I am a bit trepidatious. But I like the Juice Beauty shadow sticks and I like the 100% Pure shadow pots, so I am thinking I may like the Au Natural one’s too......
Abby Dunham, Thank you. I was hoping someone can instill an alternative on me. I’m excited for the future as the demand for Ethical Products is becoming more. K Beauty has some beautiful options. Like most companies aren’t all Vegan/Natural etc. Love from Manhattan, Danielle
All products are vegan and from brands who don't test at the time of the video. Occasionally brands might sell to companies who test so there might be some products in older videos that are from brands that might now have parent companies x
You follow a lot statements/info with “....I believe”. Could you please be definite? Also, it makes it seem like you don’t know what you’re doing. No offence. Just throwing out some creative criticism ❤️ Lipticks, stick foundation, gels, etc still need to go in a plastic bag if you’re taking them through security.
Hi Greta, In short, my (fairly definite) response to this is: no. This is just how i speak. As an influencer we receive comments and messages like this one on the daily, which may seem harmless and constructive but ultimately mount up to critique every aspect of our being. As you can imagine that can feel a little overwhelming. If my language leads you to think i "don't know what i'm doing", i'm fine with that. Your opinion of me is just that, your opinion, it doesn't change how i see myself or the things i know of myself and if theres one thing i've learned in this job its to just be YOU because there are always going to be things that others don't like and you can't form yourself to appease those. Solid makeup i have never had to put through as liquids; just gels, creams and well... liquids, obviously.
She is English. That's how they speak. Nothing is always and never. Perhaps because it isn't. Hence "I believe". I personally like it. I consider it a sign of humbleness. She is not a "know it all" and doesn't usurp the right to be. Edit - sorry Rhian - did not notice you have responded already. :-)
Ecotools is so underrated. I feel like nobody talks about them and their brushes are so good and affordable. I've never had any issues with them
omg you're so right!
I have a few eco tools brushes but i'm gonna look at travel or mini options.
Can we see how you organize your car😃 I would like to get ideas from you!
I really like the Kat Von D setting spray. It's one of very few I've used that actually prolongs my makeup.
Loving those travel bags. Seeing this right before I go on a road trip. Perfect timing!
Yay!
The binder bag is gorgeous and very cleverly made. I usually toss everything into a clear bag that I have to dig thru.
Right? I love the design so much!

LOVE the idea of a girl scout kit, i have a similar thing in my car! x
I love you're new editing tidbits - how do you do those mini illustrations and notes on screen? They look handmade, do you use a graphic tablet?
loving your makeup + outfit combo!! also, thanks for the long vid -- i've been having a crap week health-wise and this definitely perked me up :)
Thanks Emily!
I'm so glad you enjoyed. I struggled to edit this over a few days with lots of weird stuff going on and just couldn't get the time down any more so figured i'd put it out as a longer video and hope people would enjoy. x
I have always been a pack everything the night before you leave person. But I took a trip in March and packed a week early, and I was so much more relaxed.
I need to try this some day!!
You look incredible in this video babe! ❤️

They have a dual ended eye brush set that I love for travel.

Haha! I definitely do a sort of mental or draft "pre-packing" too!
This was very well timed as I'm off to Paris today and I need to start packing! Do you have any plans for travel this year? xxx
Great video Rhian! Forget a week before or the day before...I’m lucky if I can pack within hours of leaving! Haha🖤
How did you know I needed this? Love you❤️
Love the video! I start packing a week before my trip with clothes, and basic toiletries.

Hi Rhian, I love your videos! You could use the RT flat foundation brush to apply facemasks :)
You absolutely could!
If you had three years to spare.
Thank you so much Rhian! This video will help me out for my trip to San Diego in the summer! Also, if you don’t mind me asking, what foundation/B.B. cream are you wearing? Your skin looks beautiful!
I had the Cover FX power play foundation on! x
Loved this video. It told me everything and more. Love the makeup bag as well !!!
So happy to help! x

Thanks for the tips! Love your overalls! :D
Thank you so much for this! I have to travel quite a bit for work, and this video will be my new checklist.
Rhian,
Can you please update us with your travel videos.
I always go back to your older videos .
As I’m watching your travel videos.👩🏼✈️🛫
I love it, thank you for that video! 👍🏻👌🏻
You’re just lovely! ❤️
Where are your overalls from? So cute!
I agree those Real Techniques mini brushes aren't very useful except the mini foundation brushes are great for applying cream face masks. I have several that have come as gifts with purchase and I never knew what to do with them until I used one to apply a mask. It worked great!
Even that might take too long for my lack of patience!
Yesssss just what ur girl needed 😊😊
Such a cute outfit where is it from ?
I am absolutely a day of packer! But on the other hand I am a leave my suitcase on the floor for a week before I unpack type of girl 😹
Rhian,
Thinking and planning of packing months ahead.
Yeah, I’m crazy!
I am a day of packer! or when ever will be the last time I get ready before I leave. As I am getting ready, I pack each item after I use it. That way I dont forget anything!
whelp, I paused and replied as you asked and then you had the same answer haha
Great minds!
Love those bags! Rhian, what do you do with the your makeup that is no longer cruelty free? Do you throw it out or use it until it's gone?

Oh no! I haven't had any issues with mine but i wonder if you could email them if they'd be able to give you a timeframe to use it in?
x
I pack the day of or night before because i wear the same stuff all the time so i have to wait and wash it at the last minute 🤷🏼♀️😂
What happened to the mauve/frosty lilac tutorial you posted the other day? I was watching it, went to make a comment, then my phone crashed, and when it rebooted, the video wasn’t there anymore. I had some questions on the Au Natural cream eyeshadows you were using, and I’ve forgotten the names.....
if i remember correctly one of the shadows was the kiki creme de la creme eye shadow ❤️
The video is private for now, i'm hoping to have it live again asap. The creme eyeshadows i used were coffee and syrah (i think) for the main color and then kiki for the lilac highlight xo

Excellent tips and beautiful bag. I wish I could like this ten times over just to hear the word "choad" in a beauty video #dying 😂
I will be sure to throw it in more often hahaha
I don’t know why but I sensed a sadness in your eyes today, if I’m right, hope you are doing well. Sending my best wishes, love your channel!♥️
Nope, not sad- just a lot to cover in one video!
Thanks regardless
All of a sudden I want things I didn't even know I wanted 😂
The essence of youtube hahaha
I'm totally a day-of packer because I'm paranoid that I'll need stuff that I've packed!!!
Pausing Hercules to watch this right away. ❤️😻😻😻
I plan my packing weeks before then wait until the day before/morning of
I am a week of packer. But then I go and reorganize and add things up until the night before I leave.
Im definitely a “Day-Of” packer 😂
Mentions flesh eating virus *immediately washes beauty blender*
My work here is done.
Definitely a day of packer and a bit of procrastinator lol
have u ever reached for your beauty blender pouch and found your diva cup inside? 😂😂
Girl you know i have! Usually i give it a little squish before opening and i can tell tho.
Rhian HY i can see this being the next viral instagram video...”girl applies foundation with her diva cup WTF OMG ETC”
Ahahahahha
What happened to Brown Mascara?
I only know that Chanel makes a winner.
Where are the Vegan/Organic?
D Lady Manhattan i use a brown mascara from Gabriel cosmetics it’s vegan and on the natural side (not completely sure if it’s 100% natural or organic)
Abby Dunham,
Thank you.
I was hoping someone can instill an alternative on me.
I’m excited for the future as the demand for Ethical Products is becoming more.
K Beauty has some beautiful options.
Like most companies aren’t all Vegan/Natural etc.
Love from Manhattan,
Danielle
I too greatly prefer Brown or Brown Black , and Waterproof Mascara. So hard to find a clean, cruelty free version.
Abby Dunham,
Thank you Abby.
I’ll check in out online, going for it!
Love how Rhian has built this community.
It’s so special.
I'm a day before packer. 😁
Are all the products you use (not only in this vid) vegan? Or just not testing?
All products are vegan and from brands who don't test at the time of the video.
Occasionally brands might sell to companies who test so there might be some products in older videos that are from brands that might now have parent companies x
I'm the day of, lol🤣
I’m a week before packer. My father thinks I’m nuts to pack a week before I go on a trip
olivia vara .com i was dancing with it at choir.com
you look FRENCH bb
Omg what a compliment!!
