Lady fish here, looking for help on packing SUPER light. I think my biggest issue is personal care type products. Any suggestions on combo products, containers or packing tips?

I'll be going on a 12 day trip & all my luggage has to be under 34 lbs. I'm using a 40L Blackhole bag and an 18L backpack. They do most laundry, so am thinking like 3 X socks and underwear etc & will wear my heaviest stuff during transport (eg hiking boots, heavier weight fleece). Will be carry on only.
TIA!!

I pack in ziploc bags and label them. Squeeze all the air out.
Combos I can think of: moisturizer/sunscreen; lip tint/blush; I think Moroccan oil and ouai make some combo products for hair and body; Moroccan hair oil can act as a heat protectant and antifrizz, the bottle is so little

I traveled for years with just a carryon for a week at a time. You can do this easily with laundry.
I’m now doing 4 months with 23 kg (50 lbs) and I way overpacked. Use travel size bottles and you can buy stuff on arrival. All the basics can fit in a quart sized bag - cleanser, moisturizer, a few compacts of makeup. For me it’s electronics that get heavy - computer, cables, converters, extra battery etc. if you’re doing warm weather travel just one jacket/jeans/long sleeve shirt (wear on plane). The rest can be lightweight clothes. Unless you’re doing substantial hiking, one pair of running shoes works for hiking and walking and gym. You won’t wear half the clothes you bring. Casual dresses - one for day, one for dinner; one outfit for hiking; one outfit for the beach; Linen pants, a few tanks and linen shirt for touring; bring comfy flat sandals that you can wear with dress and you’re good to go
I recommend a roller bag instead of a duffel to maximize carryon weight options. Also in US they don’t weigh carryons. And europe probably won’t except certain airlines

In the offer letter it's mostly mentioned HR band which is different from this, HR band is just the seniority level as per the org structure just for the reference for HRs.
