Just my make-up stuff. The grey one's for my grandma. O:-)
But yeah, the authorities don't seem too sure what it really is - so maybe the yellow powder was hair-dye or something? The pink powder could be that necessary blusher that you need to put on your face when you want to look like Imelda Marcos aka Dragonlady (ie, for weddings and important occasions.) :OD:

Despite what you might think about laxism of Cambodian customs' checks on the way in, they do x-ray all bagage on leaving. I once got busted with a mosquito racket which was well hidden in my underwear. :oops: But the customs guys were very nice about the "misunderstanding".
