Of course it all fit it went through the scanner and I put my stuff back in my bag and handed the chap the bag back.
Sometimes I take Lush solid shampoo, a good space saver.
I'm mostly powdered complexion makeup, too except I use a tinted spf moisturizer with my regular spf when climate appropriate. I'll have to look into the Lush solid shampoo!

A few ULCC's in SE Asia also don't allow you to BYO food for consumption onboard. I've also had drinks purchased post-security confiscated before boarding at a few international airports.
ETA: Coconut oil, other than its quasi liquid/solid state, is also a food and should be declared upon entry to countries with strict agriculture rules like AU & NZ. Some people use it to remove makeup or as a moisturizer.
I have never had an issue (knock wood) with my Duke's Mayo packets and they are never in my 311 bag. I do put a backup supply in my checked piece, just in case
I never would have thought about coconut oil being an issue. Does this apply to other oils that might be considered a "food"? I ask this because my husband actually ate my maracuja oil and told me the olive oil I had purchased "tasted funny", lol.
