[KAIA]

Well, probably a lot of people asked this already..but yeah, I'm travelling... and not for few weeks I'm traveling FOR GOOD! lol. no seriously, so not sure exactly when, i would say in a couple of months I'm living the US and i need to pack ALL MY STASH!! and i have ZERO idea what to do, how to pack everything so it won't break or melt...I'm making a big trip:
USA - PERU after 3 weeks or a month PERU -BULGARIA.
Here's what i have so you can have any idea of how much (or less) i own:
-19 lipglasses
- 20 lipsticks
- 14 (blushes/beauty powders)
- 6 (powder/foundation/msf)
- 4 x15 eye shadows palettes
- 5 x4 eye shadow palettes (including smoke signals lol)
- brushes 7 regular mac brushes / 3 sets from christmas
- some eyeliners/pigments/lipliner/fluidline/brow stuff..

QUESTIONS:
1- how can I pack everything so it won't break or melt.
2- should i get a training case ???(i don't have any)
3- How to pack my parfums /nail polishes so they won't break?
4- is there any problem with carrying make up? because i remember, I heard that we were not going to be able to carry make-up/parfumes or something like that .. it somebody can explain me this I would be soo happy!
5- how much does it last a bottle of UDPP? if you use it every day?? I'm afraid there's none in peru they don't sell it! i have one but i only wear make up once a week, and i bought my bottle long time so I don't remember.. i'm asking this so I can buy extras..

When I travel, I usually put either tissue paper or cotton squares on top of the palettes and powders. Then I wrap them with bubble wrap AND with my clothes. With breakables and liquids, I wrap them with bubble wrap then put them in zip lock bags, just in case they burst/pop, then wrap them again with my clothes. Oh, and I pack them snugly in my luggage so they don't move around.

Anyhow, I have carried my palettes and MSF's on the plane with no problem before. However, that was domestic flights. So you might want to check out <www.tsa.gov> for travel rules & regulations. Also, it's a good idea to call your airlines for info if you are travelling out of the country.

As for UDPP, I use mine for at least 3 months. You can get more out of the bottle by taking out the plastic stopper at the top though. Anyway, HTHS. Good luck on your packing and have fun on your trip!
