Homemade travel sized samples…

Posted by Staff in Packing, Tip of the Week

If you are going on a short trip and want to take some of your fabulous La Mer face cream along….but don’t want to lug the whole $200 precious tub of goo with you (god forbid it gets lost in transit, yikes!)….recycle those old contact lens cases.

For contact lens wearers…use your old cases as mini travel pods. If you are lucky enough to be graced with perfect eyes….you can pick up a case at the local drugstore rather inexpensively.

I prefer the type that screw close as to the snap closed ones (as those tend to pop open when you least expect them to).

As there are two little pods you can put face cream in one side and toothpaste in the other…..or eye cream….or neosporin….you get the idea…..

For those to lazy to go to the drugstore is a link to order them online at Walgreens….click here!
