Instead of bringing the bottle, preload cottonballs with the makeup remover. Store in a ziplock.

or

You could transfer a bit of the remover to an eyedrop container (I like the Systane ones) or contact lens case.

FIgure out before the trip how much you'll need.

 

My DDs like Costco's pads.

I've used Almay and would not recommend them. Didn't remove waterproof mascara well at all. I've decided just to stick with the liquid and cotton balls. Doesn't take up much space and at least I know it works.

Every night when I get home from work I wash my face with the Oil of Olay face wash cloths (dry ones) to take my make up off and scub my face. I work in a casino and had problems breaking out from the dirt and smoke and using these cloths when I get home helped a ton to get all the funk off my face from the day.

 

Aveeno foaming cleanser in the shower, jojoba oil as a moisturizer and oil of olay cloths in the evening has worked wonders on my skin. I still get minor pimples but no where near as bad now. It's my swear by ritual.

I found a trial pack (30 pads) in a flat pack of the Up & Up brand at Target that I use just for travel. I think they work well. I am not one of those who rubs my dry eyes first with a pad or towelette. I use a makeup removing cleanser with water on my face/eyes and then use the pads to remove the remaining traces of eye makeup on my eyes which leads to much less rubbing and tugging on delicate eyelids. I cringe when someone says they "scrub" their face.

I use the Almay pads as well. They do a great job removing my smudge proof mascara. Without removal the mascara lasts 3 days so I would imagine it removes waterproof just as well. I have sensitive skin and no issues with them.

I have used both Olay towelettes and Pond's towelettes on vacation. I did not like the Pond's Citrus wipes - the scent was just not to my liking. I did like the Olay brand wipes - they came in a small pack that was easy to store. They worked great.

 

I suppose this is a very individual decision; what one woman loves, another one doesn't. The same can be said about most things in life, probably. ;):)

Since you use the Sephora makeup remover liquid at home, grab a pack of their Targeted Eye Makeup Remover Swabs. The swab has a plastic tube, where the liquid is. You break off the one tip (the one with the blue stripe) and the liquid is released to saturate the other swab tip. It's the same liquid remover as the big blue bottle.

See if it works for you.

I would just put the kind you already use in a smaller container. I have sensitive skin and if I try to use something new and my skin doesn't like it, it can take weeks for it to get back to normal and I'd hate for you to have to deal with that and possibly still deal with it on your vacation. I've tried Olay, Neutrogena and Simple and all of them resulted in red rashy then dried out scaly skin for me. Ultimately I use Dove sensitive skin bar soap. If I were you I'd stick with what works, just try to find an easier way of packaging it. Maybe try loading the cotton balls then putting each cotton ball into one of those little tiny plastic bags made for pills?

I have used Dermalogica pre-cleanse oil for 8 years. I have very sensitive skin. For example, with the current drought in CA, and the humidity at zero, I have to sleep with Aquaphor overnight at least two nights a week. I use the pre-cleanse with my finger tips, and rinse it off with plain water and my fingers,too. Less wiping and rubbing. Perfect for travel. Just put a little in a travel bottle.
