When the air pressure changes in an airplane due to elevation, your beauty products will react. To keep the products in their respective bottles and not all over your suitcase, make sure to release the air from your bottles and quickly close them back up before packing them. Then "tape the tops of your liquid containers to prevent leaking and exploding, and for double protection, recycle old grocery bags and wrap your liquids individually," before packing them away, says Klosky.

Pack Like a Pro
In your suitcase, make sure to pack your toiletries bag in between clothes and "not near shoes or anything that can puncture it," advises Klosky. If you are bringing a rain jacket, wrap your jacket around your toiletries bag.

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.
