These left two pictures below are of my favorite Amazon cosmetic bags that I’ve found to date! The left option is so great for long vacations and again, I love the clear options!

This hanging cosmetic case from Beis is also one of my favorites for traveling because you can hang it on a knob in any hotel bathroom and it keeps your counters free – which can really come in handy at some tiny places! Dagne Dover also makes great cosmetic bags and I love using the Mila bag for my full products!

Packing Tips

My packing cubes keep me so organized when I travel, they are definitely the way to go! If you ever share luggage with a significant other or family member, they’re also great for keeping those things separated! Below are the details of how I typically pack my checked bag and carry on bag! (These pictures are packed for separate trips.)
