BAG 3
AVEDA SAP MOSS SHAMPOO AND BOTANICAL KINETICS PURIFYING GEL CLEANSER All the Aveda products smell special, healthy, and soothing.
JERGENS MOISTURIZER After traveling to New York in 2003, I went back to Korea and found a place in my neighborhood that sold American beauty products. I had fond memories of Jergens from that trip.
BODY SHOP PEPPERMINT FOOT LOTION I walk a lot in hot climates, lugging equipment, so I use this twice a day. I keep a bunch of it at home and transfer what I’ll need on the road into smaller containers.
BAG 4
ORAL-B CROSS ACTION TOOTHBRUSH I happened to catch a TV commercial for this product and was impressed by the computer graphics it showed of how the brush actually cleanses your gums.
BLISTEX LIP BALM SPF 15 Because I’m in the sun so much, I use lip balm with SPF.
COLGATE TOTAL TOOTHPASTE I tend to trust big-name brands.
ORAL-B ESSENTIAL FLOSS: Asian people don’t really use dental floss—it’s an American phenomenon. But I can’t be going to the dentist all the time, so I have to keep my gums healthy.
ADVIL Besides pain-reliever, I usually carry antacidand other basic first-aid medicines. And hand sanitizer!
BAGS 5 & 6
PANTY LINERS AND TAMPONS It’s a nightmare, of course—a photographer in an undeveloped country with her period! I always have these with me.
BAG 7
EYELASH CURLER I only use this on occasion.
ANNA SUI SUPER MASCARA WATERPROOF AND POWDER COMPACT I collect Anna Sui in Korea, Bangkok, and Jakarta. I love the rose smell in all of her makeup.
GUERLAIN FLEUR DE TEINT LIQUID FOUNDATION I didn’t get it from a duty-free shop, so I paid full-price. It really makes your skin glow.
KANEBO T’ESTIMO PENCIL EYE LINER I dot this pencil between my lashes. It looks natural and doesn’t smudge.
