If you travel a lot, you must know what a hassle it is to carry all of your beauty products together. You can’t possibly carry all the products you want, and if you do – you’re going to be carrying more than you have space for. But we know a trick or two that will help you have the cake and eat it too. Read on to find out what they are.

Shampoo and conditioners are one of the most basic products of your vanity. So there is no question of doing without it! Your regular shampoo bottles are going to be bulky. So no matter how tedious it sounds, transfer a little amount in tiny travel size bottles. If you do not have separate travel size bottles, you can even use old medicine bottles (As long as they are cleaned well.)

Skincare is essential that you can’t skip, even when you are on a vacation. But the problem with them has to be their bulky tubs. We can’t remember the last time we saw a face cream in a tub that wasn’t bigger than it is supposed to be. Contact lens cases are perfect to store your skincare products. They don’t take enough space in your luggage and has enough product for a duration of a week. Score!

If you have a thing for lipsticks, you probably won’t just be done by one or two. But this tip isn’t for the faint-hearted – for it involves melting off the lipsticks into a palette. If you have the heart for it, cut your lipstick into a spoon, melt it and transfer it to a palette. You can easily fit, more than 6-7 shades in one palette (depending on the size of the palette). Imagine how much space you would save!

Give your face makeup brushes a skip. Replace them with a beauty blender. The beauty blender is so handy and does the job of almost all face brushes flawlessly. You won’t regret not carrying your face brushes. Besides, the beauty blender practically weighs nothing. So if you’re nearing the carrying weight limit, this hack is a god sent!
