3. Cotton wool and nail polish remover take up space, so take easy-to-use nail remover wipes such as the Bourjois Magic Nail Polish remover, R55.
4. Pack multi-use products. You can use your highlighter as eyeshadow and bronzer as a contouring product.

5. Carry a tinted lip balm such as Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Balm, R335 instead of lipstick and lip treatment. Tinted lip balms add colour and moisture.
6. A big bottle of perfume takes up too much space; get the 10 or 20 ml handbag-friendly mini bottles.
7. If you have natural hair, keep your hair in Bantu knots during the day, then undo them at night for beautiful curls. You can also do this with your wigs. If you have cornrows, wear a head scarf during the day.
