We're going on vacation! I need advice on packing please!!

I'm so excited! We (DH, me and the boys) are going to Hong Kong in November for 2 weeks!! I have lots to do and lots to pack! I was wondering about the TSA regulations in terms of what I can carry on. DH does not want to risk losing and waiting for luggage so he wants us to just bring a couple of carry-ons. DH grew up in Hong Kong but has not been back in over a decade and the 3 of us are just typical Americans who haven't been anywhere or on a plane.

He tells me to pack light and just buy everything we need there. But you ladies know that I can't just replace my goodies over there. So....what do I pack and what do we leave at home (since we're not checking any luggage)? I'm not particular about shampoo/conditioner or body wash, but the stuff that goes on my face is a different story! I need my cleanser, toner, moisturizer, eye cream...and makeup! Is my eyelasher curler okay on the plane? lotion?

I so envy my boys...they're just bringing some clothes and underwear. I need my "face".

Any tips for the airport and travel abroad would be greatly appreciated! We've saved a long time for this trip and it's the first one we will go on together....a honeymoon/30th birthday(me)/8th anniversary/family vacation, it has to be perfect!
