Gorgeous on-the- go!

These tricks will save you space in your bags, lighten your load and keep you looking your best when you travel

Cotton swabs

1. Eye shadow. Instead of packing your eye shadows, simply dip the ends of cotton swabs into your favorite shadow shades, then wrap each stick separately in plastic wrap to lock in color until you are ready to apply.

2. Perfume. Saturate cotton swabs with your favorite fragrance and store in an airtight plastic baggie to keep the scent from evaporating.

Cotton balls

1. Polish remover. If your nails might need a touch-up during your trip: Soak a few cotton balls in acetone and wrap with tin foil

(so they stay damp), then store in an airtight plastic baggie.

2. Makeup helper. Leave bulky brushes behind and use cotton balls as applicators. Bonus:

Placing a few in each compact creates a cushion to keep powder from breaking while in transit!

Empty pill bottles

1. Travel sewing kit. To ensure you’re prepared to deal with any frustrating little rips or fallen hems, drop a needle, safety pins, buttons and thread inside a pill bottle to create a makeshift sewing kit.

2. Toiletry set. Fill bottles with shower staples like shampoo, conditioner and bath salts: The sealable bottles are TSA-friendly and space-savvy.
