Become a Savvy Packer with these Travel Tips Using Forever 21 Products!

Let's face it, packing can be a real pain! Especially when you wait until the last minute and you are rushing to shove everything into your suitcase. I'm heading to New York City this weekend and with all of the traveling I do, I have picked up some useful tips and tricks to make packing a little less stressful. Today, I want to share some tips for packing your beauty arsenal using all products from Forever 21, so no worries with breaking the bank before you reach your final destination.

Less is more. By this I mean, you do not need to pack every eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick you own. Think about packing 1 eye palette, which will allow you to create a ton of looks without taking up a lot of space in your bag. Forever 21 offers a killer natural eyeshadow palette for less than $8. They also have a blush/bronzer duo for about $6.

Ditch full-sized products. There is no need to bring a large bottle of shampoo, conditioner, eye cream, moisturizer, etc. Ditch these bulky, heavy bottles and put some of the product in travel sized containers. Here is a set of 4 travel sized bottles for under $2. It has everything you need for all of the products I listed and that price is incredible! Now, that might have been an obvious tip, but also consider leaving all of your makeup brushes at home and take a travel sized pack on the road. Forever 21 has a ton of brush sets with adorable prints, each with 5 mini brushes for under $5.

Protect your products with socks. This tip is especially handy when flying. Your checked bag gets tossed around and sometimes your eye shadows, blushes, and any other powder products don't make it in one piece. And girls, we know how difficult it is working with cracked products! Save yourself the grief by taking an inexpensive pair of long socks or leg warmers and placing your products in them! Wrap them up and this extra barrier will keep your favorite products in one piece. This has been a lifesaver for my makeup!

I hope these tips help you next time you are jetting off for a much needed vacation!
