Old flight attendant trick: give your shampoo bottle a little squeeze before you shut the cap. The air pressure will not pop it.
Hi Caroline, thank you for sharing your great toiletry hack with us!!! 😀
Caroline c wow thanks!! I worry about it so much!!
a trick : watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Brooks Seth yea, I have been using Flixzone for since december myself :D
Hello...friend how are you doing
For face wash when I travel, I use Olay Daily Facials cloths. They are dry. You wet your face and hands and just rub the cloth over your face and it activates the cleanser. Less liquid to worry about. Also, try using old contact lens cases for liquids you use in smaller amounts: BB/CC Cream, foundation, concealer. Liquid makeup products also count as "liquids" to the TSA, so using little contact lens cases allows me to travel with just the right amount. That seems to be the trick to this: Determine the right amount of a product you need and then find the appropriate container for it.
Hi there! Thank you for sharing all your great travel hacks for downsizing your toiletries with us, this is really helpful! Happy travels! 😃
I am preparing for a 7-day trip to Dubai next year and I am fully committed to traveling with 1 carry-on. Your idea to decant your toiletries and using them while you are are home to determine how you really use in a given time period is an excellent idea. I never thought about doing that. I spent so many years carrying more than I needed. I won't do that anymore. Thank you.
Hi there, thank you for watching our video, so pleased you found it helpful!!! 💜 If you need any more packing tips, you might find this article on Dubai helpful: www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-wear-in-dubai/ Have an amazing time on your trip next year. 😃
Great video
One time I forgot my make up bag at home it was really tough finding things and added stress .
I have had a dedicated toiletries bag in my car since college as often I would go to the gym and then go to work .
I gave all my stuff dedicated in there. Sometimes after work I am meeting a friend for dinner or spent the night at my sisters I still have my stuff . I have pretty much use refilled the travel size containers I get for free . I have a sewing kit in mine as well .
When I am actually traveling I just add my extra stuff and I am good to go
When I arrive back I just make sure I refill everything so it’s ready again
Instead of a loofah try buying the bath glove or purchase a Japanese cloth ( I use that daily )
Can't thank you enough, you cleared almost all my doubts about packing up in the carry-on luggage. I'll be traveling soon, and I genuinely appreciate that you took so much trouble to put yourself in the boots of the traveller, explaining every little thing, including minute details. Bless you!
Thank you. Very useful video. I would cut down because I use less in my usual routine but it was very good advice and helpful to be organize for my trips
So pleased you found the video helpful Raimonda!! Happy travels! ❤️🙏
Yay! Someone else who is not only very particular about their toothpaste (mine is a highly specialised one that has probably saved my teeth as I have a severe well multiple chronic illnesses) but also someone who takes their electric toothbrush. Thank you for including the article on travel size containers because I am looking for the perfect travel size container brand: which is how I found this video. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Rachel, so pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you for your lovely feedback!!! 😊 Happy travels! 💜
Great tips! I wash out the tiny hotel shampoo bottles and put my own shampoo and conditioner in them. But I cut out on body wash by using shampoo as body wash too! Or whatever the accommodation provides. Dove sensitive soap bar has worked well for me as face wash in the past, I’d definitely try it out at home before trying on the road. I never leave home without my little pot of coconut oil! PS I love how thorough you are in your videos! 💕💕🙌🏽
Loved this video because after retiring, we travel a lot. I do most of these things but still found some helpful hints. My travel bag is similar to this except it is twice the size. I really need something smaller. My makeup bag is pretty large also. Could you do a video on downsizing your makeup bag? It would be much appreciated.
Hi Sonya, so pleased you found the video helpful!! Have a look at this video for tips to help you downsize your makeup bag: th-cam.com/video/HfZyL1akq2c/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps. Happy travels!! 💜
Hello...friend how are you doing
Awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Hi there! So glad you enjoyed the video!! Happy travels! 💜
As much as possible, I try to color- code my travel containers to the products' original containers or labels. Saves time and prevents mixing them up. (Don't want to use sunscreen for conditioner)
And your earrings are cute
Hi Susan, thank you for sharing your great travel tip to packing your toiletries with us! Happy travels! 😃
Yea! Thank you so much for doing this video. Quite helpful. I pulled out a quart size Ziploc and I think I’m ready to go. :-)
So pleased you enjoyed the video Laurel, thank you!!! 💜
I’m doing research bc we are traveling to Europe late this summer for almost 2 weeks, and I’m planning on using all of the samples I’ve been saving, especially shampoo/cond, hairspray, cleansers, etc. I’m used to using a LOT of different products at home (what can I say, I like skincare, hair, and makeup - beauty in general!), but I’ve already started making a list of things to take that are more minimal.
Hi there, thank you for watching. Fantastic way to downsize your toiletries, thank you for sharing! Have an incredible trip to Europe 😀
Thanks for the video! Where did you get your earrings?
Love your tips. I will try how much shampoo etc I use in a week, to downsize the exact amount! And love the idea of relaxing on the face care but I will just bring something more for the night (My skin is really dry and need something more specific to the night). Xo
Ps are you in a boat?
Hi Cristina, so pleased you found this video helpful for tips to help you downsize your toiletries!! Yes I was on a boat when this video was filmed, great catch!! Happy travels! 💜
Yeah I was wondering the same thing when I saw the background bobbing 🤣
Great tips xx
Hi Linda, so pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you! 💜🙏
Hello...friend how are you doing
What is the brand of your toiletry bag,seems so light
Just purchased “Bar None” brand bars of shampoo and conditioner from Ulta I am looking forward to using them to see if they are travel worthy!! Less liquids 😀
If you end up not liking those... Lush sells really good bar shampoo. I was not impressed with the conditioner tho
Hi, thank you for sharing! If you are interested in solid toiletries, you may find this article interesting for other suggestions: www.travelfashiongirl.com/solid-toiletries-for-travel/ Happy travels! 😀
I came here to see if you had any brilliant ideas on decanting anti-perspirant, got a bunch of tips for other things.
Good tips! Any ideas for shaving cream? I find it necessary, but it takes up so much space!
Hi Hailey, so pleased you enjoy the video! 😊 Have a look at this article for tips for the best travel-friendly hair removal strategies: www.travelfashiongirl.com/shaving-while-traveling/ Hope this helps. Happy travels!
What do you do about liquid makeup (foundation, mascara, liquid eyeliner, liquid lipcolor, etc.) Also, I was under the impression that if it can be spread (such as stick sunscreen/deodorant) it also has to go into the TSA 3-1-1 bag. Not really only liquids.
I save every sample from my sephora orders and take those.Also previously unused hotel bottles of shampoo if i like it.
I also prefer to use samples I get from where I buy my skincare/cosmetics. And for shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, I also use either hotel stuff or buy it from a local store. When you travel to Europe they have more or less the same stuff we have here in Canada, or sometimes even BETTER stuff!
Hi there, thank you for sharing your travel hack for downsizing your toiletries! 😃
What toiletry bag are you using in the video? I like how small it is!
Hi there, the toiletry bag I used is no longer available but recently I have switched to using the Emme Petite Cosmetics and Toiletries Travel Bag which is so compact and simple in its design, lending to its classic look. It has all of the essentials without any unnecessary details: amzn.to/2FAYWyI. Hope this helps. Happy travels! 😀
I wash my hair every day and saw a tip about substituting hair conditioner for shampoo at least every other day. It works and probably keeps my hair in better condition. The conditioner I usually use comes in a tube with a cap so this works out well (carrying less shampoo).
Hi Chandra, thank you for sharing your great toiletries hack with us. Happy travels! 😀
Georganics make a recyclable sonic toothbrush that holds its charge for 5-6 weeks. It's cheaper to buy than most electric toothbrushes and the replacement heads are not too expensive either.
Hi Melissa, thank you for sharing your product recommendation with us, always love reading about our readers favorite products! Happy travels! 😃
Random question; where did you get that plastic bag/zip lock? I feel like mine are a lot smaller and I use the ones they give you a the airport.
Hi there, you can find the zip lock bags on Amazon in various sizes. The ones shown in the video are quart size. Hope this helps. Happy travels. 😃
Hello, great video has do you clean those silicone bottles out? Thanks
Hi Shari, so pleased you found the video helpful! 😃 I just rinse them out.
Hello...friend how are you doing
What lipstick do you wear? Love the color!
Hi Diane, I am wearing the Nars Lip Gloss in Super Orgasm: rstyle.me/cz-n/ejmuk39s3e
It’s pretty much the only lip color I wear 😅
SPF will not provide sun block unless you apply enough, 2 fingers full, applies for moisturiser & make up with built in SPF
Does the spf stick work well for your body or just your face? I always travel carry on only and sunblock is what I struggle with
Hi there, the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Solid Sunblock is fantastic for both the face and body and offers both UVA and UVB protection. It goes on completely dry and doesn’t have an overwhelming scent. As a bonus, it lasts forever and I have found it even more effective than its liquid counterpart.You can find it here: amzn.to/2GGa0vu Hope this helps. Happy travels 😃
Thank you!
Great video👏👍! I get sample/trial-size skincare products from Ebay when I travel; they are MUCH EASIER to pack than the harder travel size containers🤔😉 Also, have you thought about getting trial size productsin "sachets" 🤔😉? Just a thought😉
Hi Elizabeth, so glad you enjoyed the video! 💜 Thank you for sharing your travel tip with us!
Hello...friend how are you doing
I also travel carry-on only and use the silicone 3 oz squeeze bottles for shampoo, body wash, hair gel and sunscreen. I'm sensitive to different products so unfortunately I can't use the hotel freebees. I put my SPF moisturizer in one of those small pots like you used and then for make-up I bring mascara, a couple of shadow crayons, eyeliner, and one liquid lipstick since they can all lay flat along the bottom of my clear bag for security. Great tips!
Hi Kristen, thank you for sharing all your different tips for how you like to downsize your toiletries, these are great!! Happy travels! 😀
Hello...friend how are you doing
What about “just in case” items like aspirin, Zantac, nail file? do you have a suggestion for labeling? I’ve found I can’t always remember what’s in small containers because everything is white.
Hi Judy, usually you can find small white sticker labels to put on each bottle to keep them nice and organized as well. I would also recommend that you join our TFG facebook group and post your question there: facebook.com/groups/travelfashiongirls/ It is a fabulous community of female travelers who have the best advice and suggestions to share. I am sure they would also be able to help. Happy travels! 😃
Hello...friend how are you doing
I’m intrigued.. what kind of toothpaste do you use?
Hi Nina, it is the Forever Living Forever Bright ToothGel: amzn.to/2QnQ9no 😀
What is the brand of your eye and face cream? Great tips.
Hi Nadine, I use the Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer: amzn.to/2MIcPg7 I’m a huge fan of the Cetaphil moisturizer, because it’s simple and does the job. I take this with me wherever I travel and at home because it’s so lightweight and nourishes and hydrates the skin and has SPF 50. I think it’s the best moisturizer with SPF 50. Hope this helps 😃
Thank you!
What do you do about makeup? do you use all powder based products?

Thanks a lot
I've used shampoo bars by One and Beekman 1802. 😁
Lush do great ones!
Hello...friend how are you doing
What about all the make up and makeup brushes. Also you need cotton balls or pads to remove eye make up and apply toner
I don’t wash my hair but once a week. I use dry shampoo once in between my shampoos. Best thing I’ve ever done for my hair. My hairdresser says i have the healthiest hair she’s ever seen!
Hi Tammy, that is brilliant, thank you for sharing!
Hello...friend how are you doing
I’m a solid shampoo and conditioner fan.
Long ago, it was lush and extra fatted soap, but now I love Ethique, but there are so many actual shampoos (as opposed to soap) available. Etsy is a gold mine, and many are now in stores. (HiBar is almost always in stock in my area)
I always test at home for a week first.
I get a lot of sample packs. Shampoos that don’t pass get tested as soap. Some are too drying, so try at home!
I wish my hair/water quality worked with superfatted soap, but I need an acidic rinse, and that’s a bottle, even when I just bring it straight to mix in a glass of spray bottle. I have thought about ascorbic or citric acid tablets I could crush. But simple counts.
All that said, I’ll try nice toiletries provided in hotels.
How can I take hard lens solutuon as travelled 6 months and they dont sell it abroad ..

I've bought that deodorant while traveling 🤣👌. I'm particular about my deodorant now too!
Do you use hairspray?
Hi Karen, I don’t use hair spray or any other products (I probably should)! 😀
Hello...friend how are you doing?
I switched to organic shampoo and shower gel recently and I absolutely love it. My big bottles will last me at least a year. I will be traveling for about a month this summer and I can just fill reusable bottles and take my beloved products with me.
