ALINK Travel Toiletry Kit - BPA-Free, TSA Approved, 16 Travel Size Containers, Zip Pouch

I have a very particular daily hair and skin care routine, so I always need to travel with tons of different products. I was able to put almost every single one of my products in these bottles, and they lasted me through a 4-day work trip with plenty left over and no leakage. A lot of these containers were quite tiny, but I did not need a lot of each product. The tools that came with the kit were quite useful in filling them up. I did not use maybe two or three of the bigger bottles, and the zippered bag that came with it was able to comfortably fit the rest of the bottles plus a couple of other small bottles of products with some room even left over! The bag was very compact and not hard to close, and the zipper felt decent quality to me. I had no problems whatsoever getting through TSA. It is hard to find a kit with so many small bottles that can fit in such a small bag, so this was great. I can't speak yet for its long-term durability, but the quality does seem to reflect the price. I will have no problem just ordering the kit again if I need to replace the bottles.

The little vinyl TSA approved pouch it came with is okay, but I didn't use it as I had my own pouches I wanted to use. The assortment of containers and bottles it comes with is very nice. I've used every type of container/bottle that comes in this set, and they all work great. It also comes with a few tools to make filling these containers very easy, such as a tiny funnel, spatula, and dropper. I went on a 3 week trip to visit my boyfriend, and the bottles were still around 70% full by the time I left so I believe the container sizes are pretty good too. I love that they look so simple and minimal.

TL;DR: Every skincare fanatic NEEDS one of these toiletry sets.I am a devout follower of a 10 step Korean skincare routine and have been for about a year now. Every single day I do all my steps both morning and night (doesn't take as long as you might think), but since all of my products have a very specific purpose, preparing to go on a vacation with only a carry-on bag was a little overwhelming for me. Enter this toiletry set. I was able to easily transfer the contents of the products in my routine into these smaller bottles using the included spatula, funnel, and dropper. I had more than enough product for a several day long trip. I could easily see what was inside the bottles and how much was left. I even went the extra mile and used my label maker to put a label on each one (highly recommended step). Throughout the entire trip there was not one leak or mishap and each bottle worked without issue.The cherry on top of the sundae? Going through security my bag got flagged (probably because of the weird shapes in my toiletry bag) and the TSA agent was impressed not only with the quantity of items I was able to fit in my clear bag, but also in how organized and easily accessible everything was. I would say that makes this worth 10 stars in my book.For reference, I also purchased the following items to use in conjunction with this bottle set:3Pcs/lot 15ml 30ml 50ml Empty Black Airless Lotion Cream Pump Plastic Container Cosmetic Bottle Dispenser Travel Containers Doubtless BayLermende Clear Toiletry Bag TSA Approved Travel Carry On Airport Airline Compliant Bag Quart Sized 3-1-1 Kit Travel Luggage Pouch 2pcs/pack (Standard Size x2)

I've bought a couple of travel sets like this and they all have their strengths and weaknesses (so I think you're best off purchasing several and mix-matching) but this one is probably my favorite. if I had to recommend one, it would be this one- seem to have less dead space and bulk than other travel jars, which means less wasted space. they're still sturdy- all the jars are see-through in a frosted kind of way so it's easy to see the contents from every angle- one of the largest jars and one of the medium jars have a piece of plastic that goes between the contents and the lid to prevent leakage / contain powder. I haven't tested this feature because I actually didn't realize this was the case until after my last trip - 4 of the 6 jars only have the jar and lid, so I didn't even notice. seems like it would be useful though- even without that piece, the most liquid thing I put in one of the jars didn't leak (it was a homemade face cream made with a coconut oil base, and it was warm enough to be at that slushy consistency - nothing leaked, but I did put cling wrap over the top before screwing on the lid)- the spatula was very useful for helping to pack in and smooth contents down into the jars- I love the 1oz tapered squeeze bottle (the one on the far right of the product photo). it has a flip cap and is easily squeezable. I could actually find use for more of these, especially in a 1/2oz size- the 2oz and 1oz flip top bottles I received weren't quite as pictured - I'm not sure whether this is a universal experience or an occasional swap-out, but I'm not unhappy with what I got. the bottles I received were more frosted than transparent, and they were squeezable. based on the similarity in the photo of *those* flip-tops to the pump and 1/2oz bottle, I think the ones pictured would have been completely rigid, which is less useful.- like all flip-top lids, I don't know how long the top part of the lid will last before the plastic at the hinge gets brittle and it breaks off, but that's just the nature of this type of lid. it doesn't seem particularly fragile, maybe on the sturdy side.- also notable, the 2oz version is bizarrely tall and thin compared to other sets. I didn't use it and I don't know that it's a good or bad thing, just notable- the 1/2oz bottle is also a flip-top lid with a slightly different hinge than the others (this one looks like a bowtie from the back, whereas the big two are a 3 part sturdier hinge). the plastic is rigid and not AT ALL squeezable, if that will be a plus or minus for you- the spray bottle is also rigid, not that you'd need otherwise. this bottle is probably the only dud. I haven't flown with it yet, but like most of this type, you definitely can't secure it from leaking unless you use a separate lid and then pack the spray mechanism separately. as a result, it would've been nice to have two lids for that bottle, one for transport and one for function. as it is, you'll have to take your chances or find another lid that fits, because none of the other lids in this set will fit this bottle (maybe the fliptops on the bottles pictured would fit, but the alternate models I received were not compatible- the pump bottle (also rigid) has a plastic clip that pops on and off to keep the pump from accidentally depressing in transit. it seems like it would be easy to lose, but it's a solution to a near-certain problem. the pump cannot be pressed down AT ALL once the clip is in place. I haven't flown with this yet, and I'm a bit hesitant since the pump mechanism means that my backup fail-safe of cling-wrap before you screw on the lid won't work with the pump mechanism. I'm fairly confident that liquid won't accidentally be pumped out, but whether there will be any leakage around the screwtop or up through the opening. the screwtop on this one is also trickier to actually thread - it took me 5 tries to get the alignment right. that wasn't a problem with any other bottle or jar in the set.- if you have a steady hand, you probably won't need the funnel or pipette - the bottle mouths are all large enough that they're not necessary.- there's a fairly exhaustive set of label stickers. they're not easy to peel free of their backing though, and there are some annoying-to-me spelling errors- I wouldn't count on the "ziplock" bag to do its job (it's not watertight and the zipper broke almost immediately). this is a universal problem though, use a freezer bag insteadI don't trust any travel bottles completely - air pressure in flight is a near-unavoidable reality, so I always back myself up by 1) covering the mouth of the bottle with cling wrap before screwing on the lid, and 2) putting all the bottles in a high-quality watertight bag. I'm pleased with the quality of these products though, and none of the problems noted were a big enough deal to me to be real downsides
