Traveling is something near and dear to my heart. It's what keeps me going and refreshes my soul when I need it the most. Whether it's a quick road trip or hopping a few states in a plane, there are a few tricks I use to make the transition a lot smoother.
Keep All The Samples
Free sample from the perfume counter? Yes. Free mini with the purchase of regular size? Yes . Free gift with purchase? HELL YES.
Samples are little mini sized products that companies will give away in order to get you to use and fall in love with their line. Samples also come in handy when it comes to traveling due to size and space confinements. If there are no promotions going on with free samples make sure to ask. Believe me, from working in the industry, we always have samples or can make you one.
If you can't get your hands on samples you can make your own. Little travel containers make it easy to dispense your favorite face wash, toner, shampoo & conditioner.

Combine Everything
More and more products take up more and more space. I have found that using makeup palettes or making a palette has saved me a lot of space. Palettes are pretty easy to come by. You can find a makeup palettes with a lot of your favorite colors at a local Sephora or Ulta. If you are wanting to make your own you can purchase a palette case online and buy refill pans online of all of your favorite shades. The palette and the pans will have a magnetic attraction so they will not fall out or move around. Another product I love is the split pan by Becca which is highlighter and blush in one.
What Shall I Put You In?
Convenience is key. One of my favorite items I have purchased for travel is a fold up cosmetic/toiletry bag. The best thing about it is you can hang it up and it compacts. I found a cute one at Francescas a few years ago. I will link one that is similar down below.
A newer product I have recently purchased for travel is the Morphe snakeskin brush case. I have a love/hate relationship with this case. I love the cute, sleek design of the case and also that it protects my brushes from getting smashed and morphed. On the other hand, it is not the lightest thing ever and is a little bulky when it comes to packing. When it comes down to it, brush care and handling is important to me so I will make a little more room for this case.
