Travel-sized cosmetics

Generally you only need a blob about the size of a green pea!

Haha, the exact conversation my partner and me had last night:
Her - "That's all toothpaste you use to wash?" (seeing my little blob of toothpaste)
Me - "Well, that's all my teeth need to be clean..."

We had just earlier in the day talked about my wish to minimise things. I've started over twice in life with a suitcase only and love the freedom of both keeping your belongings to a minimum and buying & consuming only what you need. Including only pea-sized blobs of toothpaste.

Pea sized toothpaste perfect for electric toothbrush head, manual too brushes don't clean nearly as well.

I use gotube 100ml containers for shower gel, shampoo, conditioner for short trips with carry-on only, free small tube of toothpaste from the dentist, the minis of cleanser, toner and moisturiser that come free when you order full size.

If going away longer and checking luggage just take regular size.

Lush is good

Tested and this gets 4 stars.
Intrigued, I went to buy one of their shampoo bars (a different "flavour"). Impressed of it as a shampoo and how little I need it for each wash. 5 stars for that.

To replace the shaving cream, it works ok. I feel like getting a closer / better shave with a cream but the shampoo bar is perfectly sufficient en route or during short trips. 3 stars.
