Pro Packing Guide for Your Makeup & Beauty Products

As you are preparing for your upcoming move, one thing that you could be unsure about is how you are going to pack and move your beauty products.

Here are a few pro tips from Cheap Movers Sacramento to can help you pack up your beauty products the right way.

1. Get Rid of Beauty Products That You Don’t Need

First of all, now is an excellent time to purge any beauty products that you don’t need or use. You might have empty bottles or used-up palettes still in your vanity or bathroom cabinets, toss them.

When going through your products, look for anything that is expired, and throw these items away.

If you have items that are still in good shape but that you know you won’t use, consider tossing them, giving them away to friends or donating them.

2. Pack Essentials Separately

There are probably some products that you use every day and that you don’t want to go very long without. Consider packing these separately, such as in a small cosmetic bag, and keeping them in your purse. Then, you’ll have your essentials close by, if it takes a while to get everything unpacked.

3. Use Plastic Zip-lock Bags

When packing your items, consider putting them in plastic zip-lock bags before you toss them in your boxes. This will help you keep like items together, and if you have any liquid bottles, it will help prevent them from leaking everywhere if there is a spill.

Consider reusing your disposable bags after you move.  Wash them thoroughly in soapy water, rinse them out and then hang them to air dry.

4. Tape Products Shut

Some products that open easily may need to be taped shut. For example, you may want to put a piece of tape on a palette that never seems to stay shut in your makeup bag, or you can seal the lids on bottles of perfume or other liquid products. This will help prevent spills.

5. Add Some Padding

It’s not a good idea to just toss your beauty products into a box. After all, glass bottles — such as perfume bottles — could easily break. You also have to worry about your palettes cracking and breaking.

Therefore, consider adding a little bit of padding. You can use packing peanuts or old newspaper to pad your boxes. Consider wrapping glass bottles separately in the newspaper for extra protection.

6. Line Boxes with Towels

You have to pack the towels from your bathroom anyway, and one pro tip is to line your boxes with your towels. Then, if there does happen to be a spill of your beauty products, you can count on your sheets to help sop up some of the mess. This will help prevent the spill from getting on everything else.

If you follow these tips, you can help ensure that your beauty products are properly packed to be moved. This can help you guarantee that your products are still in good shape when they arrive at your new home.
