If you weren’t already aware, there are a number of different beauty supplies that are prohibited from being stored in your carry on luggage. Before you head to the airport, you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with these items.
These items most commonly include liquid deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioners, hand sanitizers, and all liquid hair products. All of these banned items include liquid based formulas, such as liquid foundation, liquid skincare creams, liquid mascara, and liquid lip products. Although a large number of liquid beauty supplies are prohibited from being stored in carry on luggage bags, there are a few exceptions.
These liquid exceptions include prescriptions that are prescribed to you and certain eye care products. If you are wearing your contacts or have eye problems, you are allowed to carry small amounts of eye drops or saline solution with you. These items must be no larger than four ounces each. By the way, it is important to note that both nail polish and nail polish remover are included in the, above mentioned, liquid ban. Nail care items that you can bring aboard an airplane with you, in your carry on luggage, including nail clippers, nail cuticle cutters, and nail files.
If you need to carry any other beauty products with you, it is likely that you will focus on eye care. As previously mentioned, small amounts of saline solution and eye drops are permitted on board an airplane, in your carry on luggage. Although you may think it is banned, you are permitted to carry eye glass repair kits with you. These kits are allowed, despite the fact they do have a small number of sharp objects in them.
Now that you know which common beauty supplies or products are allowed or are not allowed to be stored in your carry on luggage, you can pack accordingly. In the event that you try to sneak, the above mentioned, prohibited items into your bag, you may be at risk for being detained by airport security.
Although there is a chance that you may be detained by airport security or miss your flight, due to being tied up at a security checkpoint, you will find that those are the most serious consequences. As a woman, you should know that many of these items do not come cheap. Therefore, instead of wasting your hard earned money, you are advised to think wisely and plan ahead.
