A few years ago I was in dire straits and needed to sell my car. My new means of transport being the train and my bike, I needed to scale down my kit drastically, because my back was already killing me back then. What I did was this:
I took out every single item that I hadn't used in at least a year. I scaled down on q-tips, tissues, cotton wool etc.. (which meant I hade to refill more often). Bought a small case that would hold everything that was left, except my hair stuff. That I put in a medium sized back pack.

That way I could wear my hand bag across my upper body, the back pack on my back, and the small make-up case in one hand, leaving the other hand free. When on my bike, I would put the make-up case on the back of the bike, the rest stayed the same.

18 months later, when I could afford to buy another car, I realized I had not missed one single item from my old kit even ONCE, AND lost 10 kilos with my back intact. I promissed myself I would never schlepp around excess kit ever again.
Of course, after the new car arrived, it took but 3 weeks for the trunk to fill up again

Right now I still use that small kit, but it's stationary at my regular job. I'll try and take some pictures of it next time I'm there.
