As I write this, I am pausing every few seconds and sniffing my arms up and down. Mmm…I smell delicious, albeit a little bit like dessert, thanks to the hydrating body lotion I just slathered on from mysmartpac.
This is one of the sweet little items out of the “hers” personal care kit by mysmartpac, which is a nifty packet of TSA-approved carry-on sized toiletry items that are all made of eco-friendly products.
Here’s what the women’s personal care kit contains (and my test-drive notes on each item):
Anti-oxidant face cleanser – for some reason I expected this stuff to foam up when I scrubbed my face, which it didn’t, but it did leave my face fresh and silky and was super-light, which I liked.
Anti-aging face cream – while I can’t attest to it’s anti-aging properties just yet, it was a nice light compliment to the face cleanser, which is important to me, as my skin is picky that way. I imagine this stuff would be a godsent at the end of a trans-atlantic flight.
Exhilarating body wash – unlike the face cleanser, this stuff foamed up nicely, and I found that a little went a long way. 
Exhilarating? Could be, after a long day of travel!
Hydrating body lotion – as mentioned before, it’s just plain yummy. (pause to smell arms again) Delicious.
Mint toothpaste/travel toothbrush – the toothpaste was okay, but it’s light mint flavor made me feel like it was scouring out the nasties the way my normal toothpaste does. The travel toothbrush was surprisingly well-made and not flimsy.
3 blade razor – not a top-of-the-line model, but again surprisingly sturdy and servicable
Hand wipes – a traveler’s best friend, along with hand sanitizer of course
Anti perspirant – being a longtime user of liquid roll-on varities, it felt kind of icky to drag the white stick across my pits. I will say this though – the stuff worked, and had a strong but pleasant scent, which is something that can really come in handy when you’ve been a few extra hours/days between showers.
A sturdy but compact ziptop bag – holds everything and seemingly would contain any spills, should they occur
All their products are created with healthy ingredients, such as green tea, grape seed oil and sunflower oil. Mysmartpac does not test on animals and they use recyclable packaging that was manufactured with wind energy. They go into detail about why they chose the materials they did for all their packaging on their website, which I appreciate.
The mysmartpac kits come in sets for “him” or “her”, each offering a slightly different lineup of products. There are several different fragrance sets available – mine was “berry blossom vanilla” which I found to be much stronger, girlier sort of scent than I am used to in my toiletry products. In the end, I found that I was pleasantly surprised by the scent, although next time I’ll try something a little less fruity, such as the “asian lotus ginger” scent.
Mysmartpac’s personal care kit is not for a long trip, but with up to six uses, it’s perfect to get you through a long weekend away. A little self-pampering can go a long way when you are on the road.
