Tada! Wanderlite!
And what's really cool, but I'm not sure how I'm going to make useful, is that it rolls into a little ball and is all small and compact and stuff
I would completely recommend reading Onebag.com, it's an awesome website with some really good tips, tricks, ideas, etc. for packing light.
I went to Sydney a few weeks ago and brought this bag:
That's a book a bit bigger than an A5 piece of paper for comparison
But I think I still brought too much stuff and it was quite uncomfortable carrying it around the airport (carry on).
So now I'm going to attempt just taking the Wanderlite and maybe a handbag for the plane. I think that my main problem is toiletries. I hate to be without my toiletries and makeup. If I were to go somewhere for a few days right now I would bring:
- cleanser (I'm trying Lush Ultrabland at the moment, I'll let you know how I like it
- little pot of moisturiser (Perfect Potion Moisture Base)
- 25ml jojoba oil
- lip balm
- a comb
- eye cream (Lush Enchanted Eye Cream)
- Lush Vanillary solid perfume (Smells freakin' awesome)
- A small pot of manuka honey
- Small pot of Lush The Big Tease
- Lush Godiva solid shampoo and Jungle solid conditioner
- Toothpaste and toothbrush
So it's not that much in all the little sizes, but the case takes up a lot of room...I'm thinking of wrapping all my stuff up in a scarf so that it forms to the shape of the products rather than being square or rigid.
For makeup I would bring
- Revlon colorstay eyeliner in black
- Lily Lolo mineral foundation - Blondie
- Lily Lolo mineral concealer - Nude
- MAC 187, 252 and 217 brushes
- Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Tattle Tale
- MAC Paint Pots in Painterly and Constructivist
Yep, that adds up to quite a lot of space.
And then I either overpack with clothes too or only bring jeans and t-shirts.
So now that the Wanderlite has arrived I'm not sure what to do with it because I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but it's all new and exciting so I really want to use it...
I'm really considering just deciding on a destination, packing for that destination and seeing how light I can get my pack...and then never leaving my room.
I am so damn bored right now.
