There is nothing relaxing about waiting in line at airport security. The folks at Molton Brown have come up with just the solution. Their new line of men, woman and unisex travel kits get two thumbs up!

Carry On Cosmetics

Beauty Editor and Stylista, Rhonda Riche who contributes to many national magazines (not to mention her fantastic blog Gracious Good which I mentioned a few weeks back) gives us the digs on what the hell we can AND should include in our cosmetic carry on bag....

After a 12 hours in airports and planes, one needs a touch of makeup to
avoid looking like a zombie. But ever since the UndieBomber incident,
increased airline security and shrinking carry on limits been messing with
our beauty routine.

Here is the 411 on the Transportation Security Administration's regulations
-Liquids and gels must be housed containers that hold 3 ounces or less
-Items must be cased in one clear, zip topped 1 quart bag
-1 bag per person

Save your liquid limit for a good moisturizer ­ with all that dehydrating
cabin air you'll need it (Kiehl's travel-sized Ultra Facial Cream is a
favourite) and focus on compact, carry on friendly powder-and cream-based
makeup.

1. Marcelle Minerals Powder Makeup gives nice sheer coverage and comes
with a built-in brush, which also makes in-the-air application less messy.

2. Condition and colour your lips at the same time with Burt's Bees Lip
Shimmer.

3. Mascara is out. And applying eyeliner in turbulence is no fun. Lorac
Red Carpet Reveal Eye & Cheek Palette Eye Shadow Palette (available at
Sephora) comes with a double ended, shadow/liner brush and three warm brown
eye shades and a neutral rouge ­ all house in a sleek compact — to help you
get a nicely defined eye and a brush of blush.

4. On long flights, moist towelettes are the traveler's best friend. I
actually discovered this on a trip to Singapore long before 9-11. Right now,
I'm a fan of Olay Regenerist Micro-Exfoliating Cleansing Cloths because they
refresh and cleanse.

5. Spare yourself some hassle and keep non-liquids in a clear bag as well
­it helps keep your carry on organized and it won't confuse security.
Unless you're a frequent flier, a Ziploc bag'll do nicely.
