A Girl's Guide to Pack

PS: This applies only to short-term business trips.

1. Check the Weather Forecast - But don't take this literally, most of the time they will be wrong. My recommendation: Never leave anywhere without an umbrella and an anti-frizz spray or creme - You don't want to end up like me in my last business trip to Paris.
2. Choose a Carry-On Bag - Be sure that your baggage fits the standards of the airline. The 55 cm rolling suitcase is a classic! If its too big or too heavy, they'll check it in, which means longer waiting time and the terrifying possibility of having it lost! - This happened to a colleague last summer when she landed in U.A.E.: +40ºC, no deo and no suit.
3. Choose the Liquids - Liquids should never be more than 100ml and have to be kept in a small zip-top bag. My Essentials: moisturizer, hair conditioning, hair styler, deo, toothbrush and toothpaste. Really, don't try to smuggle in anything bigger than that, or you'll find yourself giving up your expensive new tan lotion (seen that happen).
4. The Meeting Clothes - A black suit, a dress and 2-3 shirts. Not to forget the belt for the suit, as well as black shoes with a comfortable height. Try choosing wrinkle-free clothes, they're a life saver!
5. Extra Clothes (just in case) -I always tend to take a less-conventional shirt to pop-up the black suit - it's quite practical if you suddenly end up having a dinner with clients - and a pair of formal jeans (that is, no holes, no washed-outs). If there's enough space, take another pair of shoes - you never know if your heels might break or your shoes are trying to kill you in slow pain.
6. Make-Up - Ok, a tiny bag with the really essential make-up (whatever you need to look fresh and awake) and some basic ponytail holders and pins for bad hair days - I'd wish I had some of those during that trip to Paris...
7. Adherent Roller - To get rid of the fluff that may stick on your black clothes.
8. A Worldwide Adapter Plug - and of course, all your chargers and electronic essential devices - no need to say phone (or phones in my case - wtf, now I am carrying 3 with me...), blow-dryer, straightener (and laptop).

So I think this is it! Anything missing?

I packed in a record time of 10 minutes, but you should get it quicker than that ;)
