Sometimes I feel like I’ve heard every packing tip or space saving idea there is. And then sometimes I hear one that is surprisingly simple, but brand new.

If you are going on a trip for a few days, don’t pack your whole bottle of eye makeup remover. Instead, dip one end of several q-tips into the liquid and then put them in a ziplock bag. This would also work with cotton balls. It’s like creating your own makeup-remover pads. This will take up way less space then the little bottle (even a 3-oz bottle), plus it doesn’t have to go into your liquids ziplock. Save some space, people!!
