One tiny suitcase....too many products


Now that United Airlines announced that they will also be charging for checked bags (ugh), I thought we all could use a lesson in how to avoid paying additonal fees and carry on your luggage. Now I do not think men suffer from this same affliction, but I always check bags because of that annoying 12 oz liquid regulation. I never buy hair/face/ make-up in sizes small enough to bring them on the plane. But now companies are getting smart and offering travelers small size options (in clear containers) so they will not get hassled at the x-ray line. Or if not hassled, have all your neatly packed items riffled through in public.

1. Grab and Go- Portable products for men. Again, men have it easy when it comes to the amount of beauty products they need to haul around, but this is still a great idea for packing light and checking everything.

2. Drugstore.com- Has cleverly added all travel size items on one page so you can buy them all at once. Now you may ask, why not just so the the regular drugstore and buy the travel size items? Because, pert-plus is just not a good option for me.

3. Clinique- Has a great, travel simply set, with only the basics. As long as you are not planned to go to a gala ball, this is all the make-up you need.

4. SKS- makes travel containers so you can just add your personal products into TSA sized containers. I am never this organized to do this before time, but it is not a bad idea.
