Pack Toiletries (With Travel Hacks)

Today I am teaching you how to pack toiletries. We will help organize your packing list of toiletries while showing you some travel hacks! The number one travel tip for packing toiletries is to divide them up among your carry-on bags. Separate the essentials before you pack them into:
pouches, baggies, hanging toiletry kit or dopp kit. #traveltips #toiletries #packingtips

I put toner-soaked cotton pads in a snack-size ziploc. Same with eye makeup remover. These are the 2 most likely items to spill in a toiletry case in a regular travel container. This way they don't need to go in liquids bag, and you have just the right amount.

I don't think I've ever seen this in your comments. I inherited my Aunt Rose's love for travel. When I was about 10, she told me "No matter how long you're away from home, all you really need are 3 pr of underpants and 3 bras -
1 to wear, 1 to wash and 1 for spare. She was right!
Yippie! More space.

I use buttons to keep my earrings together. Either the stud or wore goes through the holes, keeping the pair together. I put them in mini ziplock bags, into the main bag. To keep chain necklaces from tangling. Loop them on safety pins. Don’t travel with expensive jewelry. It makes you a target.

I have been packing my toiletries in crossbody bags/clutches that can give my minimal wardrobe packing some variety. Multi use!

Put colorful stickers on your chargers! It helps you see them when you do a last scan of your room.

Thank you so much for all of the fabulous tips! I have one that my mom has done for years. I'm not sure it qualifies as a tip but it has saved me or someone in my family quite a few times-I have a safety pin looped through the zipper pull of all of my pouches. They are different sizes and they can serve so many functions.

I no longer use any cute types of travel bags- Although I love the idea of them. The sleekest and lightest "carry on bag" I use are Zip Lock bags. Like Laurie said, a separate bag for each use/routine. I love these tips. Thanks, Laurie.

I love the idea of using a carrot peeler to shave off just what you need from your shampoo bar! I was going to pack the whole bar for four day trip! Never would’ve thought of that!

[catherinecook]

For years my husband kept his toiletry bag fully packed, as a grab and ready to go. Finally, I thought I’m doing this too. There are so many items that we take on every trip (and over the years we have weaned this down to fewer and fewer) yes, I did pack carry on only for ten days in Europe and was very proud!

One hack I use for liquids such as face wash, moisturizer, and serums is deluxe size contact lens cases. The nice deep ones from the drug store. I squeeze out the product and fill both sides of the case. Works great, it’s leak proof, and saves an immense amount of space in my TSA clear bag! 😁

It seems I could NEVER travel without a "Checked" bag!!! After watching as many as possible of your videos with tips on how to travel and pack a carry-on and a personal item I took the plunge!!!! I felt like I "left something behind" not visiting that luggage carousel, but at the same time felt so liberated to be on my way not waiting for anything!!!! Thanks for all your great tips....no more checked luggage for me!!!!

[michellemcmcfly]

I literally never thought to leave my hanging toiletry bag open to pack flat. As someone with allergies I pack all my own hair, skin, and beauty everywhere I go since I can’t bank on planes or hotels providing things I won’t react to. This is seriously genius thank you so much for the tip!!

[SBartist]

So glad I found you, Laurie! I haven’t flown in eight years and I leave tomorrow morning on a domestic flight. I’ve been so anxious the past few days, but watching your wonderful tips has really helped decrease my stress! Really appreciate you!

Similar to your suggestion about the shampoo bar, I actually practiced with all of my decanted toiletries before a 12 day trip to London. I put things in smaller containers and then used them at home to make sure it would be sufficient for trip. This was good to do because I learned that one hair product didn’t fair well in the container (it liquified). Since I was visiting London, I knew I’d be able to get certain things there, if needed, but wanted to make sure I had my go-to products with me. Thanks for your tips and videos!

You nailed it about asking what is essential. My methods: Use the same SPF 30 moisturizer for day and night. Use eye make-up remover on eyes and face. Small bottles of shampoo and conditioner and a small jar of hair gel. A jar of body cream (I use Nivea Soft). Minimal make-up: 1 small one eye shadow duo, mascara, eye brow powder, 1 eyeliner, liquid makeup (no sponge - use your fingers and put a tissue over your face afterward and press gently for a nice finish), 1 lip balm and Black Honey Almost Lipstick because it goes with everything from day to night), powder compact, 1 small blush, and 1 blush brush (doubles for powder), and 1 eye shadow brush. As long as it looks good, you can wear the same colors throughout the trip. This save space and weight. Sunscreen, small toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss. I can fit all these in my vintage Louis Vuitton 28 trousse and I still have room left. As for jewelry, I wear an inexpensive watch on trips and wear the same necklace and earrings every day. This way I don't have to worry about necklaces getting tangled or my jewelry getting stolen. I have a huge collection of all the above at home.

Thanks for these tips Laurie. Whenever I travel I usually take soap instead of shower gel, leg shaving gel and laundry powder. I use the soap for washing myself and rinsing out undies and shaving my legs. It works for me and is so much easier than lugging lots of other things.

I really like putting creamy products in contact cases. The first thing I learned was to label them with permanent markers. The second thing I learned was to paint clear nail polish over the label. Touching the cream a few times accidentally dissolved my labels. Did you know that sunscreen, arthritis cream and toothpaste can look very similar? 😂

I just returned from a European cruise & while I still do check a bag your videos have enabled me to pack a LOT smarter. Compression cubes (2.5 wks/3 climates!) & the mesh pouches are game-changers: I use Daily disposable contacts & separated them into 2 pouches by R & L eye. And I now evaluate the toiletries/cosmetics at the end of each trip & eliminate anything I didn’t use more than 3 times.
Thanks for all of your wonderful tips!

I have a tip for packing if you use liquid facial toner! Those plastic zip top pill bags are the perfect size for square cotton make up pads.. For a short trip last week I stuck 6 dry squares in one bag and added just enough toner so they were wet but not dripping.
