hey there and thanks for visiting my LauriePOP channel where ideas pop today
we're popping into our backpack for travel and going into your toiletry kit
your makeup bag trying to decide what is most important and what is just
frivolous over priced things what is cheap
what is worth it what is not worth it so pop on over with me inside my quart size bag
I have all my liquids laying horizontally
ok I travel a lot and I have just today realized
I would have more space if I turned everything
sideways ok horizontal and believe it or not all this stuff will not fit if I'm
having them stand up straight
so first of all I have also tried this
this bag says it's a quart it does not feel like a quart and will not hold my
items but i like the inside containers
this is one that I used for my shampoo it's nasty but I'm going to clean out with
soap
one of them dropped the third one drop and it's such hard plastic that it
cracked
ok and the top is this little bitty hole and that's all it is you cannot squeeze
the container it just flips open and out it comes
ok so i do not feel it more than three-fourths of the way full
and that saved me it did not come out at all until when i got home cleaning out
my bag and it totally cracked but it's all
the tile floor ok this bag
I was thinking about this yesterday because I was tired of having to like like when I was
holding my things or putting my liquids in there in vertically and it was barely
having enough room to squeeze the little the little thing that barely squeezes
together this
oh what is it called the ziploc the ziploc i could not get it
like all the way zipped and so in my backpack everything would fall out so it
would just be frustrating so i bought this zipper bag and believe it or not I
can fit more in this quart sized plastic bag oh and another tip that I have is
that when you go to airport
they usually have these empty free bags i always grab one as I'm going through
security and just stuff in my suitcase
until the next time because you can see my bag is pretty ratty pretty plasticky
wrinkled all the containers poke through almost
ok let's open this baby up so i found that bringing up my own shampoo is more
helpful to me
this is a size three fluid ounces ok vs this being only two ounce
i I just like this because I can squeeze it and it feels more secure so in a lot
of hotels give you a shampoo and conditioner and lotion
in these kind of models but I don't care for a lot of the hotels that we stay in
I don't care for their quality of shampoo so I like to bring my own but I
brought i thought i would tried this and just use that i also found a wrinkle
releaser is by downey and it really works
but if you need space in your toiletry bag or liquid bag then just use the iron
in the hotel but if you're short on time
that is a great alternative ok so about this battling in the travel and trial
section and it is too fluid ounces it was a dollar
now the other one found in the lotion I'll was three ounces which would fit in
my bag for liquids but it was more than double the price was 244 for one more
liquid out
ok so I i want to challenge you to take the time to go in the travel section but
also for lotions go into or go over to the lotion
I'll i bought this and I'll tell you about that
another item you should have your toiletry kit is hair products that we
washed her hair
ok now we're going to go to your product make it
seeing up to the humidity and the ocean or whatever you need ok
all always fun aerosol for your hair and I was scared of travel that when an
airplane so I like to my salon la aquage and it does does the job
it's a mousse which is what i use it home like I'm okay
only takes a little bit but today I fell to try some may and if you going to be
here so you have to buy something that sounds French
ok this is only a dollar and it's a moose
now it is cheaper mousse to me but if you don't need that much higher quality or
you just are just wanting a
travel size can because you cannot pack your full suitcase then this is a
great option for you and you just push it in and then dried up so gives you
something
then i also have my liquid makeup things like my CC cream Mary Kay my it
cosmetics highlighter and concealer that I put on top of my under eye corrector
from mary kay which is brandy which i just bought and i love it
I tried for every time i go on a trip
I always use my eye makeup my liquid eye makeup remover and cotton just stuff
cotton balls in my bag
but that means that this also has to fit in my liquid bags
ok so instead of using the liquid oil free eye makeup remover which I do love
i thought i would try out some makeup cleansing towelettes
it's okay i have neutrogena in the trial section
Travel section also were seven cloths for a dollar
this has 30 towelettes and it was just two dollars in the store so I went ahead
and bought it
try it and these are ponds
but the reason that I wanted those was because i don't have to pack
them a liquid bag and I can either get them with a little bit of water from the
sink or just use them dry and when you are on the airplane
I suggest using these that i found on the Travel section the clorox wipes
there are none of them okay i would say put one in each of your kids backpacks
and they would open that and white down that tray table
it never gets clean from plane to plane overnight taking out of commission it
never gets claims it is nasty five and the little arm rest
that's a good idea to wipe down with those or you could use some wet wipes
now they're not antibacterial but you may want to use them just 20 wash some
hands or to clean off something that's sticky or when your kids hands do get
sticky after eating Cheetos on an airplane and can't get to think you've
got changers you would use just these easy wipes ok
or you can
use them at your night time routine to white down your face because what I like
doing is on the airplane especially if it's a long flight or I'm just sweating
so bad
and during the flight because it's going through security
getting on a hot airplane it just does that to you I get up and I'm going to or
if I'm going on an early plane or the flight or a late flight that's going on
tonight
I want to refresh my face I go into the bathroom and it says not potable water
so i used this on a face and then I take an empty water bottle that i have
emptied and put in my backpack before i got on the airplane and when those
flight attendants come by
you would order two cups of water no ice or 1 cup of water no ice and I for some
of it in here
ok then when I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth or to wipe off or
refreshing my face after I've taken off my makeup clean my thanks
I would just pour some of it in my hand to be to to use the splash and they
already have the paper towels in the little bathrooms for you
speaking of brushing teeth I found this in the travel section of my grocery
store and this was a dollar and also you can find another one else are . 8 else
to toothpaste for a dollar
that was all by itself going to brush included i am going to do this from now
on my toothbrush
never I don't ever want to use it after I get back from a trip because I just
feel like
has been nasty or been around dirty stuff throughout the trip so I'm just
going to use this throw it away
I can keep the toothpaste I've only spent a dollar for both
ok so just something to think about and i like to use these e cute do direct 02
they just take up less space in your makeup bag ok
and I got one for my son and husband we just use them they're a dollar if you're
only going on one trip or two trips
the summer issues is just worth it I think okay this great invention is a
hard plastic
q tip holder and you know what else fits in here if you don't need 30 q tips for
your weekend trip this summer
the plastics been there it's long enough
I don't know if you saw my other video i will link it for you
um for these great on the go plastics that you keep in your car
well the regular plastics that you buy the store
do not fit in their containers so you you have to anyway it's not worth it
so I you're a big bundle of plastics and use like maybe a q-tip container holder
for that
ok for shampoos
ok i told you i bought this and I'm going to try it because we're going on
to Albania and I i'm wondering if I'm going to like their shampoo and
hotel so I'm gonna I brought these to bring and try first before we actually
go
so this is a soft ok you can squeeze it just a little bit and the top is like
this
it's just plastic ok much like this container but it holds more
okay hold a full three ounces and if i'm going to only fill it up three fourths
of the way I can get more in this one compared to that one
ok this is one that i found was interesting
it's the squeezy - okay watch
ok i turn it upside down and I did it and you can it does not come out
however when you get in the air liquide and the little bitty air wants to have
equal rights so they want to have it equal in the sky just like it is in
online
ok so this area that has built up in my container is going to want to escape
really bad and I don't know if if it's gonna stay but i will let you know in
the comments section below where you click on show more
but if you see that little lip thing that's kind of like a blockage to me so
i think it's going to work
Plus that locking it down
ok it it seems pretty secure but i will let you know
another thing you might want to bring in your bag your regular makeup bag so
pretty
Oh is one of these
this is called anemone it's a bra strap solution
ok there were nine of these things in here black white gray cream
ok so this is how it works and you you're going to need somebody to help
you with this
so you would lose this ok you're going to loop that under one bra strap and
then swing over and loop the other one on but that's going to keep your bra
strap that would be a normal bra
it's going to bring it together in case you have to wear cute little tank top or
a dress that you mean your bra straps concealed and pushed in pulled in a
little more so I thought that was interesting
and in my liquid bag
I always bring a preservative free eye drops
they're tiny they're individual capsules and you can see and you only need one
drop per day if you're having I I dryness problems and I do on the
airplane and I do in real life
and during allergy season stuff and my eye doctor said to only do one drop a
day
you know what you ought to be swimming in it one drop is all you need
and I would do it in the
morning before I even go to the airport and before I am going to put on my
makeup and i also put on just my foundation or my CC cream and my under
eye stuff and then when i get through security and to the gate
that's when I do my eye makeup just an option for you but anyway and then when
i land i'm probably going to need to do one more drop so that's an idea for you
sustain and I like them because they are preservative-free in my eye doctor after
i had the lasik surgery
he said those are great for you and you
they don't expire for forever so you like that
ok so also in your makeup bag
my mom made me this but you can find these anywhere
it's so cute with the little loop ok I just keep my makeup brushes in there and
I can throw it in the wash
when I get back okay so you keep your makeup brushes and here or have seen
people use a toothbrush holder the hard hard plastic on the old-timey ones that
they still sell
I've seen people use those for makeup brushes if thats up your alley on a
headband for exercising and a headband for pulling back from here so you can do
your makeup in the morning
band-aids for sure you have your floss sticks over there now
I travel with reading glasses okay but I always
I'm a big fan of buying your sunglasses for a trip at the dollar store
ok so i wear my reading glasses onto the plane and then I keep my cheap
sunglasses just thrown around in the backpack or I keep them in my son
my regular reading glasses container just an idea for you because it's going
to be rolling around in that backpack and I have a little journal for ideas
that that come to me or follow right deals of the places or facts that we
visited and I'd like to bring cute little markers in my backpack and a
little pin or whatever and then a Maxine and a book
okay and also love putting my purse that I'm going to use it's usually a
crossbody i'm going to put that in my backpack so that once i get through
security I can pull out this and still be hands-free because when i get to the
coffee store i can just with this open and the few credit cards that I'm going
to be using a lot are right there
my ID is right there that i may need went on at the location and keep my
chapstick in their lipstick in there
easy breezy one more thing I wanted to say about your liquids you are going to
have them out in going through security but then immediately
i would put them in your backpack so that it does not get checked in the
belly of the airplane because the little explosions that we talked about
not not explosions i'm not going to use that word
the when they pop out for the air wants to just get out of that little bitty
container
it will not it will be more equalized if you keep those liquids in the mail
Kevin below they are free to do what they feel their rights reserved
and also oh I was going to see more thing
was it oh and if you are scared of your shampoo or your suntan lotion leaking
out of here
then i would just put put this in a ziplock ride you seal it and stick that
in your of liquids bag
I hope these ideas are good for when you don't check a bag and you need to have
your liquids on you and your main items on you have fun
have a wonderful trip pop over soon
