Pro Packing Tips

1. Pre-organize. Compartmentalize your goods by separating types of makeup, toiletries, and hair accessories into different cases and baggies. This will make navigating your bag much easier!

2. Separate liquids. Take all liquid products and put them into a reusable plastic baggie. That way if something spills, it won't get everything in your suitcase.

3. Protect your powder compacts. To ensure powder compacts arrive in one piece, put them into a baggie with beauty sponges placed on either side or wrap them up with a few tissues to help absorb the shock of being tossed around when traveling.

4. Beware of loose brushes. Pack you beauty brushes into a separate plastic bag. Reusable baggies from my XO(eco) collection are big enough for brushes to lay flat and vertically so they don't get bent or damaged during transit.

5. Snuggle up! If you can, it's best to pack your cosmetic cases in your carry-on. However, if you can't stash them in your carry-on, be sure to sandwich your beauty bags between washable items, like socks and pajamas, just in case you have some spillage.
