✅ 1. Toss Old or Expired Products First

• Rookie Trap: Packing products you haven’t touched in a year.

Pro Tip: Save space and hassle — check dates and purge what’s crusty, dry, or leaking.


✅ 2. Use a Hard-Shell Makeup Case or Small Box

• Rookie Trap: Tossing makeup bags into big boxes.

Pro Tip: Use a dedicated, padded case or sturdy shoebox lined with towels or foam.

Pro Tip: If it’s valuable or essential, bring it with you — not in the truck.
