Looking forward to a long holiday, but the packing before leaving for the airport can be an annoying chore. What's worse is forgetting to bring something important and ruining your vacation! Most of the time, you can probably buy an alternative at your destination, but nothing beats the feeling of well-preparedness when having everything with you. Here is a list of girly essentials that you might potentially miss:
1. Care & concern for your feet
Not sure about you, but I absolutely hate having cold feet! Don't forget to pack enough pairs of socks to last you through the freezing temperatures (get cute ones too, they do amazing things to your mood; groupbuy price excluding shipping: S$0.68/pair). Rollasoles have saved my feet from the tortures of heels and insoled high tops on a few occasions and I'm so glad I bought them. They can be rolled up or flattened, and popped into a clutch (Rollasoles have very thin soles and will make you feel like you're barefooted; q-price: S$9.90/pair).
2. Dresses for your holiday pictures
It's not CNY, but you'll want to be in new outfits on your holiday especially with awesome backgrounds to take pictures. Don't risk bringing clothes that you will end up chucking aside in your luggage because they turn out to be less than ideal; bring outfits that you know you want to wear any day, anytime! Zalora and ASOS has some pretty dresses waiting for you.
3. Makeup vs Skincare
The importance of bringing the right makeup and skincare along with you cannot be stressed further. Being in a new location, waking up early (and late nights), having to stick to an itinerary, catching flights... these will cause additional stress to your skin. You don't need extra problems like not having damn good warpaint with you.

6. When you're running out of time in the morning, at least your concealer will give you a flawless 'I Woke Up Like This' look: Bloom Cosmetics Secret Weapon Concealer Kit - S$26
4. All your electronics and hardware tools
