First time flying business with Cathay - personal 'travel kit' info please

[cs1575]

I've put together a sweet little kit for my next long haul flight in J. I intend to have a glass of champagne, take my makeup off and give myself a nice mini spa treatment. I've got quite a few single use samples and travel size things kicking around and thought they'd be perfect, so I've curated:
* make up remover wipes
* moisturizing face mask
* some kind of serum thing
* a good moisturizer
* lip balm
* hand cream and nail file
* moisturizing eye drop vials

* pilfered hotel slippers. Mustn't forget those!

Then, for freshening up and making myself presentable
* freshening up wipes for all over
* solid deodorant
* anti-frizz oil for my leonine mane
* dry shampoo
* hair brush
* my own special eensy weensy makeup kit - primer, bb cream, eyeshadow, eye pencil, mascara, lip gloss
* perfume

And because it's nearly all foils and samples, it's all very TSA friendly and all happily fits in a TSA sized bag (which will be mostly empty by the time I disembark). I assume toothbrush + toothpaste, earplugs, eyeshades and socks will be on board.

Love your list... I BYO too but not as many items.

Thanks! I've recently become addicted to buying my cosmetics from Sephora in the US and having them shipped over via my shipping service. Play your cards right and you can get jillions of samples and foils. I'm quite stocked up now. Buying here, I find the Clarins counters are pretty generous with samples. I'll have to try and squeeze Selfridges for a few things next time I'm there.

Which shipping service? I've heard many are cancelling orders now.

And where on earth do people apply face masks on planes? In the bathrooms?

Thing one: myus.com. It's a great service. I've never had anything refused. *touches wood* *crosses fingers* *lights a candle to the patron saint of US shipping services*

Thing two: I'm flying in J, so I'll have some space to do this. Plus it's a sheet type mask, so all I have to do is pop it out of the sachet and plonk it on my face. With a glass of plonk at my side.

Thanks - to both questions.

I've never seen someone apply a face mask in the cabin, but I guess that brings us back to the whole "not too many girls in J" thread. And, as an aside, I figured you were flying J - I just assume everyone on these forums does. Why would you fly anything else? (and yuk - a mask in Y? blech!)

I've gone out of my way to make this kit so easy to use that I could use it in Y. But thankfully, I don't have to. Secondly, although I'll be in J, I've paid cash money for it and I'm SO EXCITED that it will be my first ever long haul flight in J, even though I'm middle aged and have been flying since I was six years old. . I don't have enough points or status to do a clever clogs upgrade, even with everything I've learned from hanging out here.
