  • One of my most degrading airport moments happened on the way back from a business (not pleasure, unfortunately) trip. I was juggling the quintessential wheeled carry on, my laptop case, and big ol’ purse -- and three items were not OK with TSA. So I had to get on my hands and knees and humiliatingly rejigger my stuff so that it fit in two bags. Sigh. And I thought not having the right case for my toiletries (see reader-reviewed makeup cases here) was gonna be my biggest problem.

  • And while I’m still trying to master the art of packing light (and therefore can't offer up much help in that department), I can help you learn what to pack. Like these 10 best beauty products for any vacation.

  • From SPF to waterproof mascara, these travel-friendly (TSA-approved) products will help you look smashing without costing you a ton of extra cash -- which you'll need for more important things, like Mojitos, and daiquiris and pina coladas. (BTW, don’t forget to pack this hangover mask.)

  • Tip 1: Travel Tote

  • Store all your budget-friendly beauty miniatures in a clear cosmetic bag that allows you and security to see and easily access all of your belongings -- no Ziploc bag necessary. See which one TotalBeauty.com readers love here.

  • Tip 2: Basic Hair Care

  • Relying on the hotel's supply of shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair looking good is often a risky bet. Plan for the worst and pack a mini set tailored to your hair type like Jonathon Product Hydrating Kit, $20. Check out these top-rated color-safe conditioners while you’re at it.

  • Tip 3: Waterproof Mascara

  • Whether you're in humid weather or in and out of the water, your mascara should stay put and enjoy your vacation on your lashes, not all over your face. Try this budget-friendly option that comes highly recommended by our readers. Prefer another brand? See more top-rated waterproof mascaras here.

  • • Need to get rid of the hair down there? Find out 11 secrets your body waxer would never reveal before you go in for a Brazilian wax.

  • • See if your zip code aligns with the 10 cities with the most cellulite. Gulp.
