Travel Idea: Packing Make-Up

Travel Organizing: An idea for packing lots of make-up in a little space.

I find the older I get, the more products I need on a daily basis to create the "natural" look. And when I travel, I try and do carry-on whenever I can, so limiting my liquids to the quart size baggy is critical. Sometimes even the allowed 3oz of a product is just too much and it means I can't bring everything I want.   

On my last trip, I used screw-together plastic medicine containers (found at drugstores for a couple of dollars).  With the help of my handy label maker (to distinguish white toothpaste from white face cream from white hair fixer from white sun block - you wouldn't want to confuse those products!) I was able to carry a slew of products in just the right amounts for a week away.

Easy, simple and inexpensive - can't beat that!
