It's the time of the year for me, Chinese New Year trip! My family have this tradition (I think most Chinese families are about the same, it's like Christmas but Chinese) of making a trip back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where my grandmother lives to celebrate Chinese New Year together. So this means we are flying back to Malaysia for holiday.
I have a love - hate relationship with packing. Put it in this way, I like packing but when I realized I am in the 'packed too much or packed too little' kind of situation, I dislike packing right away. So I watched some YouTube videos to see how other girls pack their bags for holiday (I said girl because my husband literally took like 5 minutes to pack everything and ready to go). It took me longer but I still get the job done, just more time consuming! It take me long enough to decide outfit of the day, it was a nightmare for me to dig in my wardrobe, packing my outfits for a different climate country for holidays.
Anyway, I am really relieve that there are packing or travel bag related blogs and videos for me to refer to. It helps, no matter how many times I have packed for my trips (I always tend to forget something or packed something I will never use in my holiday). So I thought I would share what I packed in my travel beauty and cosmetics bags.
The first compartment (which is like a pencil case sort of pouch on the top), I packed some black hair ties, snag free hair elastics, black bobby pins, dressy hair ties from Forever New, medium hair claw, small hair claw, hair screws and Hollywood fashion tape.
Second compartment (the only attached one), I packed it with L'oreal Elnett Satin hairspray, Dove Hair Therapy hair serum, Avene Eau Thermale Spring Water, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen (SPF85++), Clinique makeup remover, Clinique Moisture Surge face spray and Oral-B Essential floss.
Third compartment (another pencil case alike detachable pouch), I have my makeup in it. These are the products in it: Dior Style Liner intense liquid eyeliner, Bourjois Liner Pinceau liquid eyeliner, Urban Decay Glide-on eye pencil in zero and whiskey, Rimmel Sofl Kohl Kajal eye liner pencil in pure white, Japanese brand (I don't know how to read them) eyebrow pencil, Makeup Forever Aqua Liner in gold, Benefit They're Real mascara, MaxFactor False Lash Effect mascara, L'oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara, NYX lipliner pencil in nude pink, Revlon Colorstay lipliner in nude, Bourjois Effet 3D lip gloss in brun exotic, Rimmel Apocalips in apocaliptic, Bourjois Color Boost glossy finish lipstick in peach on the beach, Sportsgirl Pout About It in fruit tingle and Lancome lipstick in 104.

In this red travel bag I get from a purchase from Olay, I packed most of my skin care and hair care products in it. I have the Body Shop Seaweed series travel pack (cleanser, toner and moisturizer), cotton pads and Q tips, Tresemme moisture rich shampoo and conditioner, Schwarzkopf normal balance express repair leave in conditioner, Victoria Secret Bombshell body wash (love the smell of it), Bastiste dry shampoo and Gillette Venus & Olay Shaver.
Last but not least, the carry on bag essentials! The make up bag is the normal make up bag (Marc Jacobs) I have in my handbag. It always packed with more products in it when I go on a plane. So I have these in it: Estee Lauder makeup remover towelettes, tissues, Dettol hand sanitizer, Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, Elizabeth Arden Intensive daily moisturizer, Maybelline 8in1 BB cream, L'Occitane hand cream in passionate jasmine, Maybelline Fit Me concealer in shade 25 medium moyen, Laneige water sleeping mask in a small MAC container, Systane Ultra eye-drop, Chanel Allure Sensuelle perfume in the pink travalo, Maybelline baby lips, Chanel travel mascara, Clinique high impact mascara, Napoleon long black mascara, Chanel Rouge Allure in 04 imagination, Bourjois little pink pot blush in 34, Burt's Bees cuticle cream and a Sportsgirls kabuki brush.
It is an eight hour flight so I will be doing a similar routine to Lisa Eldridge's video (I have linked it below). I tried it twice and it hydrates my skin so much, so I am determined to do it every time I have a long flight.
Here are some of the videos for travel packing ideas:
