9 Beauty Rules to Packing Light and Never Checking a Bag

Sick of cramming and coaxing your full kit into a carry-on? Here's proof that it's possible to downsize and still look gorge in those vaca 'grams.

Rule No. 2: Think Small
Rule No. 2: Think Small 'Small' doesn't equal settling for less -- it's easy to hit up the department store to stock up on samples of your favorite luxe fragrances, or shop online where loads of cult beauty products now come in travel sizes. Keep your eyes peeled for brands that keep their goods on the compact side, too -- when we're sitting in the middle row at 30,000 feet and the AC's on blast, you'll find us, eyes closed, rubbing in the superhydrating Tata Harper Repairative Moisturizer, $105, which easily slides through TSA at 1.7 fl oz.

If your bag is seriously hurting for space, keep minis, like It Cosmetics Travel Size Confidence in a Cream, $16, stowed away in your travel kit, so you're always ready to hit the road.
