For any trips that is within 10 days, I can fit it all within this 18cm x 12cm x 7cm Muji bag. Toiletries and make up. Plus, it is carry-on safe for flights 😀 Here comes my actual packing for a 10 days trip to Nantes, France, May 2016

I bought it from Muji in 2007/2008? They have a newer, lighter generation in nylon rib stop fabric these days. So mine is a relic version.**Please note that each airport has a different requirement on the resealable bag size. Some won’t accept your random ziplock 😛 Some airport are more strict on the size than the others… E.g. Japan is VERY strict. *personal experience in 7 different Japanese airports, they didn’t even approve of my hello kitty zip lock bag 🙁

 

General toiletries

toiletries-packing-5982

From left to right, top to bottom:

Muji tooth brush case + tooth brush inside

Kao heat up / steam eye mask in lavender (Japanese)

My beauty diary eye mask (Taiwanese) – I don’t feel any difference between their different ‘functional’ masks.

Manual cleansing rubber ‘finger’ – for cleansing / massaging the face

toiletries-packing-5995

Just to be clear, I do love electronic cleansing devices. I do like to keep my face ultra clean. However, items like Clarisonic Mia 2 weighs 588g (without Clarisonic original travel case). Clarisonic Mia Fit weighs 340g. Both are frankly ridiculously heavy. The Clinique sonic brush is smaller, BUT weigh 399g. So none of these lovies will make their way into my luggage. For the sake of size comparison…

clarisonic-mia2-white-sensitive-5979

So my rubber finger is the clear winner, right? Even the bulkier Tsururi brush is still better than taking the Clarisonic or the Clinique.

Muji travel size container with pump 15ml – I fill it with cleansing oil

Estee Lauder Perfectly balancing lotion 30ml – It is travel size. Clean / fresh feeling, but not my favourite smell.

Innis Free (Korean) green tea essential seed cream 10ml **I don’t use night cream every night in spring / summer. I use this for my dry patches during the day. The cream itself is more like a creamy gel; it doesn’t feel heavy at all. I have the full size as well. Not strong enough for autumn / winter hyrdation in my opinion.

Kose Suisai (Japanese) beauty clear powder – deep cleansing facial powder. One portion per use. I like this product very much. The foam is super fine and my skin feels clean.

Sofina beaute (Japanese) whitening UV cut emulsion moist SPF50 PA++++ 9ml – I don’t normally use any whitening products, but I get these travel size for free. They do work well though. Gives the skin a very smooth finish. Feels like a primer, but with a ton of SPF. Can use this straight after the toner without any cream.

Etude House (Korean) soy bean scrub massage cream – It is one of the rare brands that sells scrubs in satchets. I do think that my skin gets dull without a scrub after 3-4 days. So when I travel beyond 4 days, I always take a scrub with me.toiletries-packing-5986

Clarins hydra quench cream mask – it smells nice and keeps my skin supple. I did have the full size one before. I just don’t think it does such magic to justify the price.

Sephora travel size tweezer

Lush shampoo bar montalbano – I use this for my hair, my face and body when I travel. I use it all over the show and nothing bad has happened.

Muji travel size 30g squeeze out bottle – I fill this one with soap for special needs 😛

toiletries-packing-5991Tooth paste 27g – My dentist gave me a bunch. Any travel size is better than the full size.

Floss ribbon – I haven’t found a slimmer packaging yet, if you know of a brand with wide floss ribbon, please share?

Shaver – VERY IMPORTANT, most airports only allows shaving blades that are secure and cannot be removed from the groves (actual blade). e.g gillette is ok, but double sided blade is not

My tooth brush case is the only item that does not fit into my toiletry bag.

Makeup to go

 

packing-toiletries-6022
Please visit my beauty profile for my skin type / colour information.

 

From left to right:

MAC select cover up concealer – NC20. I use it to cover spots or mix it with my primer for a fully coverage. I only travel with this one if I already have a break out or if the trip is longer than 3 days.

Primavista concealer – It is more of a peachy colour corrector. Party = no sleep. Not strong enough for MEGA black, but for me it is good enough. If I get mega black eye, then I add the MAC on top.

Primavista multi cover base UV – It is a primer. Blurs out everything. Mainly my pores lol. I LOVE this stuff, below is my evidence. I’ve been using them for 2 years now. I use/buy this religiously as a light coverage foundation.

primavista-makeup-japanese-cosmetics-5972

Dior addict lip gloss – Princess. *NB* Do not use any gloss product for hiking. Use something with no smell or with citronella instead.

MAC lipstick – Ruby Woo (matt). I tend to limit myself to only 2 lip products.

Majolica Majorca (shiseido) eye brown pencil with brush on the one end – BR771

Majolica Majorca jewel eye pencil – BR633 *my firm drug store favourite, it does melt down after about 3-4 hours for me~~ but managable and I like the kohl with glitter finish 😛 I just love the colour and the ease of use. I discovered this product the first time back in 2008 and has been repurchasing since. Not suitable for all day wear or oily eyes.

majolica-majorca-jewel-eye-pencil-br633-6019

Majolica Majorca lash expander – blue or black, depending on which one is already opened?

Shiseido lash curler – I don’t take this if I’ve permed my lash. Saves so much space. I’ve had this curler for 15 years lol. I change the ‘band’ every year.

Benefit dandelion – I use it all over the face for illumination or as a blush. I am a NC20~25, this light shimmer pinks works really well for me. This is my favourite everyday product. I can use this without a mirror.

 

 

My tip for small/light luggage is… no matter how much you love your Naked, Tartettes… or any singular area make up palettes with more than 5 shades in general, leave them at home. They are too big for travelling. Anything product that comes with a mirror also weigh more than the ones without. The more weight you take with, the less shopping you can do 😛 Both size and weight matters and they all add up.

 

How I fit it all in this small bag?

Honorary mentions

These are products that I think are great for traveling too, but I didn’t take with me for this trip.

muji-hanging-travel-case-6008
Lush hair conditioner bar, Porridge soup (I use for body and face), Ultra Blast tooth powder (powder form tooth paste – great for long term 30+ days, but only have carry on luggage)
loreal-cushion-foundation-6024
L’oreal nude cushion foundation. Light to medium coverage. Semi-dewy finish. No need for brush or sponge; everything in one compact. No need to finish with powder. Lasted about 6-7 hours for me. I have combination skin.

chloe-perfum-pendant-6035

chloe-perfum-pendant-6038
Any perfume solids are fab for traveling. I love this one because of the fragrance and it doubles up as a necklace.
jo-malone-cologne-30ml-6044
30ml Jo Malone I love this packaging, it fits my bag vertically. I love it.

I don’t normally travel with any brush or sponge. I tend to take make up that doesn’t require any extra ‘help’. However, if I MUST take A brush, it will be either be:

Bobbi Brown face brush – It is small & has a pouch & it is hardy. I’ve had this brush since 2010.

bobbi-brown-face-brush-6027 bobbi-brown-face-brush-6028

or

Kose Esprique foundation brush – It is slim & has a pouch & it is hardy. I’ve had this brush since 2012.

esprique-foundation-brush-6033 esprique-foundation-brush-6034

Seriously, looking at my travel product choice, I don’t need any brush. My finger / or the brush inside the dandelion can handle all my needs.

 

The End 😀

    Je suis fou de Boomerang Casino, ca degage une ambiance de jeu aussi circulaire qu’un arc parfait. Le repertoire du casino est un arc de divertissement. comprenant des jeux de casino adaptes aux cryptomonnaies. est un virtuose du cercle. avec une aide qui revient comme un arc. Les retraits au casino sont rapides comme un retour boomerang. par moments des recompenses de casino supplementaires feraient revenir. En conclusion, Boomerang Casino est un joyau pour les fans de casino pour les lanceurs du casino! De plus est une cadence visuelle envoutante. fait vibrer le jeu comme un concerto circulaire.

    Sou louco pela roda de XPBet Casino, parece um vortice de adrenalina giratoria. O leque do cassino e um vortice de delicias. incluindo jogos de mesa com um toque eterno. Os agentes sao rapidos como um giro. oferecendo respostas claras como uma roda. Os saques giram como ciclos. mesmo assim queria promocoes que fluem como redemoinhos. Resumindo, XPBet Casino promete uma diversao que e um espiral para os viciados em emocoes de cassino! Como extra o design e um espetaculo visual de vortice. adicionando um toque de loop ao cassino.

    Je trouve absolument cubique RollBit Casino, est un tourbillon de divertissement qui pixelise. vibre avec une matrice de jeux varies. avec des slots qui pixelisent comme des bits. offre un soutien qui deroule tout. assurant un support de casino immediat et structure. Les transactions du casino sont simples comme un pixel. neanmoins des bonus de casino plus frequents seraient numeriques. A la fin, RollBit Casino enchante avec une rhapsodie de jeux pour les amoureux des slots modernes de casino! De surcroit offre un orchestre de couleurs cubiques. ce qui rend chaque session de casino encore plus pixelisee.

    Je suis accro a Grandz Casino, c’est un casino en ligne qui danse comme une ombre fugace. est une illusion de sensations qui enchante. proposant des slots de casino a theme theatral. Le service client du casino est un maitre des ombres. repondant en un souffle spectral. Les paiements du casino sont securises et fluides. mais j’aimerais plus de promotions de casino qui flottent comme des ombres. En conclusion, Grandz Casino cadence comme une sonate de victoires pour ceux qui cherchent l’adrenaline voilee du casino! Par ailleurs est une cadence visuelle envoutante. enchante chaque partie avec une symphonie d’ombres.

    J’adore le mystere de Casinia Casino, est une epopee de divertissement qui enchante. L’assortiment de jeux du casino est un rempart de delices. proposant des slots de casino a theme medieval. Les agents du casino sont rapides comme un destrier. offrant des solutions claires et instantanees. se deroulent comme une quete. par moments plus de tours gratuits au casino ce serait legendaire. Au final, Casinia Casino offre une experience de casino noble pour les chevaliers du casino! Par ailleurs la plateforme du casino brille par son style epique. enchante chaque partie avec une symphonie chevaleresque.

    Sou viciado no labirinto de IJogo Casino, parece um emaranhado de adrenalina selvagem. Tem uma enxurrada de jogos de cassino irados. oferecendo lives que explodem como uma selva. O atendimento esta sempre ativo 24/7. oferecendo respostas claras como um labirinto resolvido. Os saques deslizam como cipos. ocasionalmente mais giros gratis seriam intrincados. No geral, IJogo Casino promete uma diversao que e uma teia para os exploradores do cassino! Alem disso o site e uma obra-prima de estilo selvagem. amplificando o jogo com vibracao selvagem.

    Acho simplesmente ardente Fogo777 Casino, explode com uma vibe de cassino flamejante. A colecao e um ritual de entretenimento. oferecendo sessoes ao vivo que brilham como labaredas. O atendimento e solido como carvoes. respondendo veloz como uma faisca. As transacoes sao faceis como um fulgor. entretanto queria mais promocoes que queimam como fogueiras. Para encurtar, Fogo777 Casino oferece uma experiencia que e puro ritual para os apaixonados por slots modernos! Por sinal o design e um espetaculo visual flamejante. dando vontade de voltar como uma labareda.

    Galera, quero registrar aqui no 4PlayBet Casino porque superou minhas expectativas. A variedade de jogos e bem acima da media: roletas animadas, todos sem travar. O suporte foi amigavel, responderam em minutos pelo chat, algo que raramente vi. Fiz saque em Bitcoin e o dinheiro entrou na mesma hora, ponto fortissimo. Se tivesse que criticar, diria que seria legal torneios de slots, mas isso nao estraga a experiencia. Resumindo, o 4PlayBet Casino e completo. Recomendo sem medo.
