I'm really bad about traveling well-packed. I go light. So light, in fact, that I *make do* by using items that can do double duty or just do without while on vacation.
I do use the toiletries provided by the hotel so I don't have to pack shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc.
My must-haves include antiperspirant, toothpaste/brush, hairbrush, and my usual make-up kit (mascara, eyeshadow, foundation, lipstick/gloss, concealer, tweezers, false lashes or liner for going out at night and maybe some perfume). Oh, and I bring sunscreen. And because the hotel sizes are too small, I usually bring my own large bottle of lotion.
I usually try to get a manicure and pedicure before I leave so I don't have to worry about nails.
