3. COSMETICS
- Make-up.. everything you use on a daily basis and the extra things you may use for onstage events
- Make-up Remover
- Make-up mirror, this I found is very helpful because there are limited mirrors in dressing rooms
- Cotton swabs and Cotton balls
- Cosmetic brush kit and sponges
- Facial cleanser, moisturizer
- Acne/skin medications if needed
- Manicure and pedicure items
Make sure all the makeup you use on pageant weekend you have tested out or used prior to this weekend. You do not want to be having a reaction to new makeup at the pageant.
4. BACK UP KIT / EVERYTHING ELSE
Keep a small travel sized kit to take care of any last minute problems, especially in the fitting rooms.
- Butt Glue; keep that bathing suit bottom in place
- Clear nail polish, this can stop runs in nylons
- Band aids ( just cause you never know!)
- Deodorant (make sure it is the clear kind) 
-Extra buttons, hook and beads, rhinestones, and backings
- Breath mints or Listerine Strips
-Lip Gloss for last minute touch ups
- Snacks; it is so crucial that you keep your energy up
-Mini Tooth brush
-Clothing rack
-Perfume

Well I hope we covered just about everything...better to be safe than sorry! Enjoy your pageant weekend and make every minute count!
