This online store, Minimus, sells travel- and trial-sized products. I think I even dicovered them through FT.
Link goes to the personal care products section. There is also a pharmacy and other departments. Some products are just mini bottles, jars, and tubes, but others are packed in small sample-type packets, which might work.
For example - a one-time use packet of Freshscent Hand and Body Lotion, 17 cents for a 1/4-ounce pack (obviously the idea is to buy multiples...).
I'll bet some of the frequent flyers here on FT probably have more mini products in their personal collections than the store's entire inventory, LOL .

Ok, new concern - just saw the post about liquid in contact lens case being used - was hoping I could just fill up each lens 'bowl' with some solution & pop them out & into it mid-flight - doesn't sound like that will work now - ugh!!
My eyes get super-dry - I also have got to have eye drops in flight. I wonder if I got my optician to write a prescription for some lubricating eye drops if that would get by?

I have also heard that is it pretty much at the discression of the agent as to what will get the axe.

And yes, this page actually says: Some solid or powdered cosmetics items are permitted past the checkpoint; however, this is left to the discretion of the Security Officer. To minimize delays and hassle, we recommend that you pack all cosmetics in your checked baggage.

(Bar soap, solid lip gloss and blush, and solid stick deoderant are now specifically allowed.)

This is a wonderful thread. Thanks so much to all who've contributed. My biggest fear is finding a substitute for face cremes. My skin is so dry that it actually burns in the airplane during flight.
Now, I'm also assuming (correctly?) that these liquid items that we need after our flights can be packed in our checked luggage? So I might pack my face creme and then just suffer for the flight?

Anyone tried any of these and can recommend one that's the most moisturizing? I saw another with aloe in it.

have you considered putting a base of something ultra-hydrating underneat before you go on the plane? I have at times in winter problem with ultra-dry skin, and found a few things that help for a long time. Cannot tell you product names, as I only found great stuff in Germany, but they seem to have a lot of the butters (shea, cocoa) as integredients, as well camomile and olive oil. I mean, you will look like crap going on the plane, but if you have your normal regime in checked luggage you should be able to clean up and put normal make up on afterwards pretty quickly.

Was just out shopping today for an overnight ORD trip tomorrow. Was able to get cake mascara at bluemercury ($20); none to be found at CVS. Hopefully it will pass security. No luck on toothpaste powder, though. Only possibility was one at a healthfood store which was made of dried roasted eggplant and salt. Figure I'll chance the hotel gift shop for toothpaste

Solid lipgloss might be something like a lip balm in a lipstick like container, like OPI made one...just clear balm in a traditional lipstick thing.
This is a relief to me as I use Khiels lipbalm and was wondering what I would do for a several hour flight, transit time and then more flying.

They showed me some big fat lip pencils by Trish McEvoy and NARS. I ended up buyng the NARS pencils because they were less dry. Made sure they very clearly say pencil on the tube.
I had also been thinking about getting eyelash extensions and think it may be time to try them so I can leave the mascara behind.

I flew out of BOS on Thursday morning at the height of the craziness when it still wasn't totally clear about what they were and were not allowing. I don't know if things have been relaxed since then, but they took my chaptick (the solid kind) and I thought I had taken all my lip gloss out of my computer bag and I forgot about a tube of stuff from Sephora that I had just bought and lost that too.
