hi guys welcome back to my channel i'm
christina founder of joy cosmetics and i
am a packing genius no seriously i have
it down and if you struggle with
bringing the right amount of clothes
looking amazing
packing it all in a carry-on including
your toiletries your hair your makeup
the rest i've got the solution this is
literally my secret weapon for looking
great while i travel and doing it all
with a carry-on because nothing makes me
more annoyed than waiting for luggage at
the baggage claim i don't do that i just
don't do that so let's get started
packing i'm gonna give you my
top
secret tip on packing light as well as
my three travel essentials i'm gonna
walk you through an entire week's worth
of clothes
for one trip in one carry-on and these
clothes only fill the carry-on up about
maybe three-quarters you have plenty of
room for the rest of your stuff so the
tip is that you're always going to write
out your itinerary so what are your
needs are you going to a fancy dinner
are you going sightseeing what are the
exact activities that you're going to be
doing for every single day is we're
going to have a day bottom that is going
to be the same as the night bottom so
your day bottom and your night bottom
are the same all we're changing are the
tops and the shoes okay so we're gonna
bring three pairs of shoes on a trip i
will allow myself four if it's like a
beach vacation and i need an extra pair
of flip-flops or
if there's some extraneous extra
whatever that is circumstance i will
allow myself a fourth pair of shoes
otherwise we're a three pair of shoe
traveler we are going to wear one of
them on the plane so we're really only
packing two pairs of shoes i always pack
a dress
i always pack a shorter dress i always
pack leather pants black jeans and blue
jeans let's get started the first outfit
i'm going to show you are these black
jeans i always travel with black jeans
because here's the trick if you dress
monochromatically if you bring a lot of
blacks and whites for example
you're less likely to get things dirty
black jeans you can wear over and over
and over this could literally go for two
weeks this this the way that i'm packing
today is could actually get you two
weeks of wear so the black jeans i'm
gonna pair with sandals for the day
and i'm gonna throw on a white t-shirt
this is a really casual easy way to go
sightseeing running around town
you know just this is like a casual i
would say spring into fall outfit i did
bring a sweater that way i can throw a
sweater on and layer it and be a little
bit warmer so the way i'm going to take
these black jeans into the evening is
i'm going to throw on my black heels
always got my black heels and what i've
done is i've put on a lacy tank top i
always travel with a lacy tank top you
guys this is the way to dress up an
outfit it weighs absolutely nothing it
is so lightweight so it doesn't take up
any room in your bag throw on a little
blazer your blazer your heels a little
envelope clutch and you are good to go
that is the perfect single days outfit
you've gone from day into night and you
look chic and it's beautiful now we're
going to move on to a short dress the
short dress is if it's a little bit
sunny you can throw it on with your pair
of sandals your sightseeing bring your
tote bag if you want to bring your
sweater in your tote bag or a hat in
your tote bag you can it's really casual
it's really easy and then the way that
we're gonna dress it up is we are going
to once again put on the heels throw the
blazer over our shoulder and voila we
are chic and we are ready for a fabulous
dinner out on the town and this is an
outfit that you have worn all day long
nobody's the wiser you look great and
you're not taking up extra space in your
suitcase with another outfit for night
next day we are going to throw on a pair
of leather pants honestly you guys i
love leather pants from the minute it
hits september all the way through i
would say march anywhere you go even if
you're going to a snowy place you want
your leather pants they're from zara so
they're not actually leather they're
like faux leather they're so awesome
because even if you spill a cup of
coffee on yourself you just wipe it down
these will stay clean they travel really
well they hold their shape so i'm
putting this on with a cute uh shoulder
pad t-shirt this is the t-shirt of the
season right now this is a little white
shoulder pad t-shirt my crossbody and a
pair of sneakers nothing's cuter to me
than a pair of leather pants with a
sneaker for running around the city you
can throw your sweater in the bag you
can throw your blazer in the bag but off
you are you are ready to go and then the
way we are going to dress up the leather
is the same way we're throwing on our
heels
yes we love these heels and then we are
putting on a black blouse this one is
really beautiful it's got chiffon
sleeves and a really open neckline i
think it's gorgeous it's very elevated
it is from zara i think last year i'll
try to find something similar and link
it down below but it's just really a
beautiful easy way any kind of black
blouse with your black leather pants and
a heel is
city chic like what more do you need you
are set you are ready to go it looks
fantastic throw on the blazer and the
little crossbody bag and you look
fabulous and these leather pants trust
me you can wear them during the day you
can wear them during the night you can
wear them over and over and over again
so even if you
mess up the rest of your clothes somehow
honestly you can wear these leather
pants every day they are fantastic they
don't get dirty you can wipe them down
if they do love it the next outfit that
we're gonna do is a black floral dress i
do love a floral dress i'm just into it
right now i am this one is by
reformation it's very much a summer
dress but you can make this into a fall
dress by adding a sweater throwing a
blazer on it's very easy so i'm throwing
this on with my black sandals my
crossbody and i've also got the sweater
in case it gets a little bit chilly it
is the perfect little daytime run around
outfit i love it you can also wear the
sneakers
no problem and to dress it up i'm
putting on my heels and i'm putting on
my blazer and this is just a great
elevated going out to dinner outfit you
can wear this to a restaurant you can
wear this like strolling the city either
way i never choose a heel that is too
high this is a kitten heel i love a
kitten heel for when you're traveling
you never know what kind of streets
you're going to get and you don't want
to be wearing five inch heels you don't
want to get blisters on your travels no
no no okay the next outfit we are going
to do is a satin skirt i've made a video
about satin skirts i will definitely
link that one if you want to see because
satin skirts are so versatile there's so
many ways to wear them this satin skirt
is from zara i love it i love it's
creamy and beautiful and elevated but it
also looks amazing with sneakers and a
t-shirt so i put on sneakers and a
t-shirt and i'm running around during
the day and i'm super casual but to
dress it up for a night i've put on a
little square necked black t-shirt this
is an amazon t-shirt i will definitely
link it if i can still find it and a
pair of heels so the black heels the
black t-shirt my blazer over the
shoulders and we are good to go it's
super elevated really beautiful and does
not take up a lot of space none of this
does now i'm bringing a pair of jeans
into the equation blue jeans always
always work jeans just you can wear over
and over and over again i love them
they're so durable and they are they can
be elevated they can be casual they're
perfect so these are a little straight
legged cropped jean i've paired them
with a white little puff shouldered top
this is from amazon i love it so much
and my sneakers this is a really casual
easy outfit i love it it's still a
little bit feminine but
looks great and i'm going to switch it
up for night on a little lace blouse
that i have this one is adorable i put a
little black bra underneath it and i'm
putting my black heels on so i really
like the juxtaposition of the lace and
the blue jean and the heel super chic
really beautiful put the blazer on over
it good to go but here i'm going to show
you
how this same pair of jeans works with
the same elevated top that i paired with
the leather pants that is the gauzy
sleeved black top as well as the tank
top and the blazer so you can really see
how all three of those bottoms can be
interchanged with the tops there are so
many outfit opportunities with this
combo so look down below if you press
more i'm going to list out all of the
items this is great to use as a packing
list if you are going on a week's trip
use this i'm going to get to the three
essentials that i always travel with and
especially now i'm going to talk about
the first one the first one is something
you may not really think about well
we're traveling in a pandemic and we
need to be safe and we need to wear our
masks but what i've found is you don't
want to keep wearing the same mask over
and over and disposable masks are just
they're not as cute and not as
comfortable even though it's really good
to have them so here's what i do i
packed my little ziploc with this is my
little pandemic kit
what year are we in it's 20 20. inside
here i like to carry two fabric
uh masks so i've got two jouer fabric
masks so i've got a light one and a dark
one and then i've got a couple of the
these are these are the jouer kind of
paper ones they're not disposable they
are washable but i also have some kn 95
masks so the reason why i'm traveling
with a bunch i'm going to alternate them
day by day and i'm going to wash them in
the sink so i'm going to use the soap or
shampoo or whatever and some hot water
in the sink and i'm really gonna wash
wash wash all of the makeup comes off
everything anything on the inside of the
mask and then i'm gonna hang it up to
dry when i wake up in the morning it's
pretty much gonna be dry but i'm gonna
use the second mask that next day and
i'm gonna alternate i always like to
keep one as an emergency in like a side
pocket of my purse just in case i run
out without a mask which i've done
because i keep forgetting that we need
to wear masks it's like a crazy thing
but yeah so if you ever leave the house
without a mask really good to have one
just like folded really small and tucked
away inside a little pocket of your bag
that is really important inside this bag
i also have lysol wipes and i've got
lysol spray that's how i do it i also
have my jouer hand sanitizer you guys
this is the fda emergency formula
approved so it can be used healthcare
workers can use this really important
and i love it because you can also use
this spray on surfaces i throw it into
my bag so if i'm going out for the day
and i've got a smaller purse i'm going
to throw this in the purse not
necessarily the whole bag if you know
what i'm saying
okay the next essentials bag is this
leopard bag this is the jouer leopard
bag i love this bag so much because it
holds so much i basically carry all of
my makeup in here yes i set it i've got
all my makeup in here for the trip but i
also have a few other things i have a
little pouch for my jewelry okay so i'm
carrying this with me on the plane i
never put my jewelry in my bag i've also
got
face lotion this is a really heavy duty
moisturizer this is actually something
joy's developing because
airplanes are so ridiculously drying and
traveling in general is really drying so
i'm always carrying a really heavy heavy
heavy duty moisturizer
especially one that's not going to break
you out that is super important and i've
also got hand lotion because
flying is just brutal on my hands like
it's so dry i don't know what it is so
um yeah this is my essentials bag so i'm
gonna i plop all of this in here i want
this all in one place um i also have you
guys don't laugh at me but this is like
if you catch me ever without a nail file
i'll scream it's like a pet peeve i hate
being without a nail file if i have a
snag in my nail i need to fix it so i've
always got it this is like a little
chopped down nail file i always have a
nail file and i always have the jouer
lip mask this is the most
hydrating
long wearing lip mask you will ever
experience it's got everything amazing
hyaluronic acid shea butter it is
jojoba seed oil it's so
nourishing and i cannot live without it
honestly when i'm traveling it's the way
to go i also throw in there some
melatonin and some these are actually
morning sickness ginger um like little
ginger chews and they're not actually
it's a lozenge
they're not i'm not pregnant and they're
not only for morning sickness these are
the ones i found but i love them because
they relieve nausea so sometimes when
i'm sitting on the airplane i'm just
like oh i don't feel good so that is for
that and then melatonin because
sometimes i need to do a two or two just
help me go to sleep that is that so the
final thing i'm going to tell you about
is
my reekie ricky mirror i always travel
with this
i would say 99 of the time because it is
so lightweight and when you get to where
you're going you never know what your
lighting is going to be like it comes
with this stand so you can set it up
anywhere and it really is bright it
comes with a plug
and a cord but what's also cool is the
plug also has another usb little spot in
there so you can charge your phone at
the same time um it works also
wirelessly so if you need to move it
about i don't know if you guys can see
it is oh it's really bright so sometimes
hotel rooms like you're you just you're
out of luck if you don't have a great
window if you don't have great lighting
so i never rely on that because i love
this mirror so much and it folds flat
and it goes right into my suitcase so
easy to pack it just folds right in i
slip the mirror in and then i put the
stand
and then it comes with a little
magnifying mirror that just magnetically
attaches and then the cords i stick in
my suitcase i'm going to show you how i
pack all my handbags as well so this is
a tote bag that i travel with i'm going
to take my crossbody bag and i'm going
to put it inside the tote and also
i always bring a little envelope clutch
for dressy evenings right now i've got
my passport in here that slips right
into this bag so all of my bags are
traveling in my tote i've got my makeup
and essentials bag i've got my mask
bag
and my hand sanitizer and because this
is such a large tote i have extra room
so i'm going to bring on the airplane a
sweater
and i'm also going to bring the blazer
that i'm wearing in all the outfits
because
if it gets cold i'm going to throw the
blazer on and i'm probably going to wrap
the sweater around my neck
so i can stay warm right
so
that is how it all fits in
and i've got plenty of room i can add my
laptop my ipad whatever i want and there
you go all right guys i really hope you
