Travel Makeup Essentials

Hello! And Goodbye (but not forever)!

On Sunday my husband and I are leaving for vacation, so there won't be any blog posts next week. I thought I'd pop in and say hello and share what makeup I'm bringing with me on our trip! If you want to see some pretty photos, where I'm going, and such- check out my Instagram!

Base makeup

3 foundations? Yes, you are seeing that correctly. It's a bit excessive, but since I am self tanning I am bringing my Milani foundation which is way too dark, so I use it when I self tan. The Maybelline Better Skin is to mix in the the Milani because it's honestly too dark even when I self tan, so I mix them together because the better skin is too light (what?). And the Este Lauder is for days when my self tan fades a little. Yeah, I'm crazy high maintenance.

I'm bringing my Mac Pro Longwear concealer and Rimmel Stay Matte powder because those are things I use everyday. I'm also bringing the Too Faced Hangover Rx Primer, and the Hawaiian Tropic face sunscreen for days that I need to wear them. For my brows I'm bringing the Nyx Micro brow and the Essence gimme brow gel.

Cheeks

For bronzers I'm bringing the Stila Stay All Day Bronzer and the Too Faced Sweet Tea Bronzer. The Sweet Tea has been my favorite Bronzer lately, and it looks really awesome when I self tan. I'm also bringing the a Tarte Bronzer and Highlight duo, mainly because the highlighter in there is my absolute favorite highlighter. For blushes I'm bringing the Wet n Wild Rose Champagne blush, and the Kat Von D Micky and Mallory blush duo. These are my two most used blushes, as you can see from how much I've hit pan on both.

Eyes and Lips

I'm bringing the Tartelette in Bloom palette because it's my favorite, and for primer I'm bringing my Mac painterly paint pot. For liners I have the L'Oréal liner intense, a L'Oréal pencil liner in black, and the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in smokeout. For mascara I'm bringing Covergirl Supersizer. I'm trying to keep it minimal for lip products, so I'm bringing Mac blankety and Mac Velvet Teddy. I also have Whirl in my purse, so that will probably come too.

It's super hard not to overpack on makeup! I was going to bring my Morphe blush palette too, but I made myself out it back. I didn't include my brushes in this one, but If anyone wants to see my everyday makeup brushes that I currently use, I can do a separate post on that when I get back!

What's in my Travel Makeup Bag + Everyday Makeup Essentials

Hello Everyone!! Over Labor Day weekend, My husband and I went up to Northern Michigan for a long weekend. We stayed in a city in the Upper Peninsula called St. Ignace, which is a city right after you cross the Mackinaw Bridge. I mostly just took my everyday makeup items that I use with me so I thought I would share here my blog what I brought with me! 

This probably looks like too much makeup for three days right? Lol.

I brought my Kat Von D foundation and my Covergirl outlast foundation with me since these are my two favorites. I also brought my Maybelline Dream Matte Powder, covergirl & Olay simply ageless eye corrector, Revlon Color Stay Concealer, and a Maybelline concealer stick.

These are the primers that I use everyday on my eyes. Mirabella primer and Mac Paint Pot in Bare Study.

Here is my brow products that I use everyday. The Nyx brow kit, I mainly use this for the little spooly that it comes with and occasionally the light powder to set my brows. My favorite brow pencil is the Mac retractable pencil in the color Brunette. I also brought the Revlon brow fantasy pencil because I use the eye brow gel in it.

For my blush, bronzer and Highlight I bought the Elf Golden Bronzer, which is a product that I use almost everyday for a subtle all over bronze look to my face. I also brought my Nars Laguna bronzer and Deep throat duo. This is not an everyday item of mine but I thought I'd cut down on how much products I brought with me by binging a two in one product. I brought Nars Albatross for my highlight. 

For my eyeshadow I just kept it simple and brought my Naked Basics palette. It's small and great for travel. I forgot how much I loved this palette so I was happy to use it again all weekend. 

For my eyeliners I brought L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid eyeliner and L'Oreal extra Intense liquid eye pencil. These are my two favorite liners at the moment. I also brought L'Oreal telescopic for my mascara. 

I brought a travel size of the Urban Decay All Nighter spray. For my lips I just brought my Urban Decay lip gloss in the color Wallflower. This is my favorite lip gloss ever. 

I also kept my brushes really simple. I brought my beauty blender for my foundation, my Real Techniques Blush brush and Couture brush. Elf Kabuki brush for my powder. For my eye brushes I brought two blending brushes, an angled shader brush, a dome shaped shader brush and an eye brow brush. 

Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed my travel makeup bag post.
