What's In Your Train Case, Rebecca of VegasChatter?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. Your intrepid contributors here at Jaunted are opening our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

Hi, I'm Rebecca. Not the fabulous MsRebecca, but 702Becca from over on VegasChatter. I usually spend my time traveling from one exotic (replica) destination to another, from the Venetian to Mandalay Bay and from New York-New York to Monte Carlo. But, every once and a while, I depart Sin City for locations as close as San Diego (my most recent road trip) to as far away as the BVIs (my favorite vacay, ever. EVER).

The bag:

You'll probably still find this soft-sided train case on the shelf of your neighborhood Target as I just picked it up a few weeks ago for my jaunt to SD. Made by Contents and dubbed Tutti Fruity, this double-decker, zippered bag was the perfect in-betweener—not too big or too small (4.5" x 3" x 6.25"). I pack for myself and my five-year-old son, so size was important.

What's in Your Dopp Kit, Omri?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. The intrepid contributors here at Jaunted will open our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

As the Jaunted contributor who had to look up "Dopp Kit" when we were brainstorming this series, like Kyle I'm going to beg your indulgence regarding the utilitarian nature of my travel toiletries.

Even worse, and in the interest of full disclosure, I should also admit that I'm cheating a little bit. What you're looking at is the sum total (toiletry-wise) of what I try to pack every time I travel. That's different from what I actually remember to pack every time. Luckily we have a civilization, and that civilization has stores, and those stores sell toiletries. I can almost always get what I forget on the other side of the flight. And for those times when stores are closed, that's what hotel toothpaste and toothbrushes are for.

What's in Your Dopp Kit, Max?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. The intrepid contributors here at Jaunted will open our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

Hi, my name is Max Graham and I travel weekly all over the world to perform as a DJ. It's almost a fact that DJs spend more time in the air than anyone (outside airline employees) and coupling that with life in hotels and late nights means it’s important to care for my skin. I never used to do much more than a simple face wash, but recently I upgraded products and have noticed huge improvements, especially after weekends of excessive travel and dry air.

The bag: This one is from MUJI, a Japanese brand with an excellent selection of cool and functional accessories for travelers. The clear pouch allows for easy in and out from my carry on while navigating security, and it’s an easy wash too. I also have a cool black bag from United's First Class, but as it’s not see-through, it has instead become my hot sauce/gum/eye mask/Advil bag.

What's in Your Dopp Kit, Kyle?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. All this week, the intrepid contributors here at Jaunted will open our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

Hello, I’m Kyle—aka kjb. I’m willing to crack open the contents of my travel toiletry bag, but you need to promise not to laugh. Clearly I am way behind the curve when it comes to on-the-go skincare and general appearance upkeep. A trip to Sephora—or the man version of Sephora—just might be in store for me this weekend.

Honestly, it doesn’t take much to get me ready to go—just naturally handsome I guess—and I usually just swipe some of the typical hotel bathroom amenities to get me through the day. It basically boils down to my general hatred for the little plastic baggie, as that’s just one more thing to worry about. Sometimes I even smuggle my toothpaste through, but please don’t tell the TSA.

What's In Your Travel Cosmetic Case, Rebecca?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. All this week, the intrepid contributors here at Jaunted will open our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

Hi, I'm Rebecca— aka MsRebecca. Like some of my fellow Jaunted eds opening up their cosmetic cases this week, you can often find me over at HotelChatter, where I tend to obsess over hotel toiletries and cute hotel doggies. After more than a decade in NYC, I now live in Miami Beach, which makes traveling to the Caribbean a breeze. So I try to do that a lot.

Like Juliana, I usually have another TSA-approved bag for liquids, some of which you see here. How much I pack depends on where I'm going; the general rule being if I'm hitting the beach, I need as much sunscreen as TSA deems legal, and less makeup. But this is a pretty good version of my ever-changing lineup, minus the shampoo and conditioner and shower gel, which I like to check out at my hotel. (Did I mention I tend to obsess over miniature-sized beauty products?)

The bag: Collette Dinnigan for Qantas. I think this was the First Class amenity kit some years back. Sadly, I didn't get it flying First--I was in Economy on one of my frequent flights to Sydney and a friend of a friend was serving in the cabin. He brought me some goodies like this kit to make my coach haul more bearable. Fun fact: I once saw Miranda Kerr pull the same Collette Dinnigan for Qantas case out of her Prada purse backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Now, she's a Qantas Ambassador.

What's In Your Travel Cosmetic Case, Juliana?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. All this week, the intrepid contributors here at Jaunted will open our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

Hi, I'm Juliana. You might know me from my hotel adventures over at HotelChatter and VegasChatter. If you do, then it's not surprising that my travel cosmetics case is a Gilchrist & Soames cosmetic bag that I got while staying at the Flamingo Las Vegas a few years back. You can see what the bag used to look like before I mucked it up right here.

Keep in mind, these are just my cosmetics. My travel toiletries go in a separate bag (usually a TSA-approved baggie) so that's probably a separate post. But this is a main staple of my everyday purse.

The bag: As I mentioned, a clear case from Gilchrist & Soames. I need a clear bag so I can see what's in it without having to actually open it up. It's quite handy for when you are driving (I live in LA) and need to grab your eyeliner or lipstick real quick.

What's In Your Travel Cosmetic Case, Cynthia?

Last season, we showed you what we (and some other notable travelers) pack in a carry-on. Now it's time to get personal. All this week, the intrepid contributors here at Jaunted will open our dopp kits and cosmetic cases to reveal what keeps us looking so damn good.

Hi, I'm Cynthia. I'm in Bali, Indonesia right now, at the start of a nearly month-long trip hitting 3-4 cities in Southeast Asia. This is my cosmetic case, which contains a little more than what I'd usually bring, considering the next several weeks will see me in a variety of situations, including work meetings, beach club chillaxing, nice and not-so-nice meals and many planes/trains/buses/taxis/dusty walks.

The bag: a Singapore Airlines First Class kit from Kiehl's. It's black, it's got a slim profile with minimal pockets and—bonus·it's got a tiny side handle.
