I don't remember where I got this tip, but don't pull the whole seal off a new jar when you get it. Use your tweezers or something to poke holes through the seal. I poke out 1-2 for the smaller jars and 3-4 for larger, although I only have 3 poked out in my foundation jar. I don't bother taping or using a cotton pad when traveling, but maybe that's just me. You can carry on your BE, just not your glosses or mascara.
FYI--the new A/D kit for this year is available on QVC, # A17187 for $44.98. I just got mine and can't wait to play! It includes a blush sized MV and Gold Gossamer, eye shadow sizes of Gold Mine liner shadow, Riches blush, Golden Earth glimmer, Gilded Taupe glimpse, Truffle Lipstick (the new formulation stuff) and 3 new brushes (the new full flawless face brush, heavenly liner blending brush and eye shaping brush). The brushes themselves pretty much pay for the kit, so if you're looking to build your BE stash I highly recommend the A/D kits.
