But she's finally done it! And while her trip was short, just two nights, she figured out a way to minimize the clutter and squeeze everything she needs for a few days into that bag. She went through her makeup bag and decanted her tinted moisturizer into a sample container she'd been given at Sephora, and made sure she only took the necessities, no extra eye pencils or multiple blushes, just really, truly, what she needed. For shampoos, conditioners and body lotion she ravaged her stash of samples, and found generous packets of all that took up about as much space as a pack of tissues.

The biggest help in squeezing everything into the quart-sized bag was a fabulous potion called The Solution™. It took the place of her eye cream, her night cream and her morning moisturizer. Designed just for that purpose, as a truly benefit-driven product that keeps it simple, The Solution contains a powerhouse of antioxidants, moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients that replace so many of the “steps” in Girlawhirl's routine. It's all she needs and it's packed in a one-ounce air-free pump, (under the TSA limit) so there's no need for synthetic preservatives.
