i usually just put things i already have in travel bottles:

from the container store, target and other stores have them. If you use a pump, make sure its closed, make sure everything is closed and in either a plastic bag, or in something like this:

I like the sample sized moonlight path shower gel from bath and body works as well.

I would bring face wash, moisturizer, sunscreen (i like the sheer neutrogena kind), shampoo and conditioner, only one hair product (gel or something like so), my contact stuff and an extra pair, tweezers, shower gel, body lotion, nail clippers, and a fragrance oil.

Then for makeup, i'd be really minimal, chapstick and a couple of colors of lipstick or gloss, dewy cream blush, mascara, and a light and dark shadow that can be worn on my lids or as a liner. Maybe a powder or bronzer, but maybe not.

It depends on the atmosphere you're going to be in and if you'd rather pack extravagently or not. i always would just rather not be bothered and carry less stuff, but you may be different. i'm not as minimal as i could be, but i don't carry a ton of stuff with me either, and everything is in small bottles.

I travel a lot for work, and I really like to bring the Philosophy 3-in-1s with me - they save a lot of space.

It seems like Sephora has a boat load of faboo products in travel size. You should pop over there and see if they have anything that you may (or may not, but still want) need:).

BTW, are you and Jim still doing the Great White cage dive? I am soooo jealous!

Being gone for three weeks is more tough to plan. I usually go to Bath & Body works and load up on their mini sizes. I always put anything liquid in plastic baggies just in case they leak or open. I also try not to bring too much makeup.
