If you’re joining in the epic celebration of Black culture that is Essence Festival, then you likely already know two things: it’s uncomfortably hot in New Orleans, and you want to look your best regardless of the heat.
It’s a moment like no other to show up and show out, so you can’t leave your beauty goodies behind. But traveling with a slew of jumbo-sized cosmetics is not fun when the TSA security process is even more rigorous and stressful than ever.
