Ladies, welcome aboard flight TB300 with (hopefully) non-stop service to your long awaited vacation/business trip/visit to see the family. Whether you've had this trip planned for weeks or it was sprung on you last minute, you're going to need to know what and how to pack your beauty products.

Packing for a trip can be a tedious task. You ask yourself a thousand questions like: What is the weather going to be like? Will I really need both my peep-toe heels and the leather pumps? And what beauty products will I need? Should I carry them in the checked suitcase or in my carry on? Surely the hotel will have a hair dryer, won't it? These are all important questions, especially because what you pack may help prevent your hair from turning into a frizz ball and how you pack may help you avoid having your vanilla-scented lotion burst all over your silk blouse.

And usually, despite how much actual thought you've put into it, you end up forgetting something important or having your checked bag be just over the weight limit because you figured you'd better just bring everything you own -- to be safe. So to help you figure out what beauty products you actually need -- and how to effectively pack them to avoid bursting, spilling or leakage, we went to celebrity makeup artist Pamela Lljubo-Obrien and Justin Klosky of The O.C.D. Experience (Organize and Create Discipline). Together they offer some invaluable tips on how to pack your beauty products like a pro. Happy traveling.

I always tend to over-pack; this will make me think first. A bag or carrier with many compartments is definitely an essential!

I find I have gotten so used to travelling by car where I can have numerous bags and shoes etc, that when I recently tried to take a trip by train I had such difficulty paring it down as I alweays take at least 2x what I would need. I ended up purchasing a couple of excellent products one is a toiletry item from LL Bean, worth every penny as the quality is unsurpassed and I went for the deluxe one so I will have no regrets. Investing in proper items is important for your sanity, pocketbook etc as you want to enjoy your time away and protect your items etc. After geat frustration that is my advice!!!!
