What's In My Travelling Makeup Bag..

Hello hello..

A few weeks ago I did a blog post about what's in my travel toiletry bag and it seemed to have gotten a really good response so I decided to do a 'What's In My Travelling Makeup Bag. Again, I used to bring so many makeup items yet truth be told, I don't really like wearing a lot of makeup when travelling. I have reduced the size of my makeup bag over the years especially when I discovered items that are dual purpose. Wanna see what's in my compact makeup bag? Here we go..


Tadaaaahhh...


I bring my BB Cream which I made myself (Click here to know how) because I wouldn't have to bring a primer or sunscreen and it provides light coverage which is ideal for me when I am on the go.


I bring my Chanel Vitalumiere Eclat which is my favorite powder foundation at the moment because whenever I am in the City, sometimes I get invited to dine at places where I need to look a bit more made up. These invites are usually not informed before hand so I like to keep this handy just in case.


My Concealer is a must. This is Mac's Select Cover concealer which I love to use for my under eye circles.


Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden. I have this in my travelling makeup bag because it helps to keep my eye makeup from creasing and fading while I am out and about.


Ah, my fave go-to product of the moment when it comes to eye makeup. This is Maybelline's Color Tattoo in 'Bad To The Bronze'. I just have to blend this on my lids and the satin finish of this product makes it look like I have more than one eye shadow on. I can use my fingers to apply it so it's convenient since I don't have to worry about bringing my eye makeup brushes with me.


I like to define my eyes using an eyeliner and this is the only black pencil liner that I have which is Mac's Technakhol eye liner in Graphblack. I use this on my upper lash line.


I like to use bright colored liner on my lower lash line because I think it gives the eyes such a wonderful pop of color, making the eyes look fresh and awake. This is Rimmel London's Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in Aqua Sparkle.


I got this blusher from Etude House a few years agoand I like it because it is so nifty and convenient. I just need to press the sponge on my cheeks and blend it with my fingers. Although it is slightly chalky, it does give a sweet pink blush on my cheeks. Love it!


A lip gloss by The Body Shop (this has a duo-chrome pink and peach shimmer which I looovvee!) on my lazy days..


My Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop for when  want more color on my lips. 


Tools that I never go travelling without. 


What makeup items do you bring with you're traveling? Do share in the comments section below. I hope you enjoyed this post. See you in the next one.

My Personal Makeup Project

Hello there..

I am a makeup lover and collector. Buying new makeup always gives me a fantastic rush.. Until my buyer’s remorse kick in that is. Since I have no moolah to spend on makeup nowadays (boo..), I went through my stash with the hopes of re-discovering my favorite products.

I managed to do that and more. It turns out I have quite a bit of products that are almost finished just sitting around. Enough to make a complete makeup set actually *Trying to be surprised. Pedahal.. Hehehe..*

Hence, I decided that if I can’t get my adrenaline rush through buying new makeup products, why not get it through using up all this pile of leftover makeup? Sudah lah boleh get rid of bask in the triumph of using it all up, I won’t have to face buyer’s remorse aaannndd I can make a blog post out of it lagi. Rupanya.. Hehe..

So here are my products:

Rimmel London foundation

 Revlon face primer

 Mac concealer - My first and only concealer from Mac. Can't wait to finish this and add it to my Back To Mac items.


 Another Rimmel London product

Bobbi Brown lip gloss in Pink Blossom 31 


 Mascara by Maybelline - My ultimate go-to brand for mascaras


 My poor broken Mac Superslick Liquid Eyeliner in Signature Blue


Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil in Zero (black) 


 Mac lipstick in Quiet One (Lustre) - My first lipstick from Mac and still one of my faves of all my lippy collection

 The Body Shop Liquid Lip Color in no 16

The Body Shop Lightening Touch in shade 04 

Kate Liquid Eyeliner in BK-1


Lip Smacker's Paul Frank lip balm in Clancy's Cotton Candy - Got this a few days before giving birth to Sophia. That's what I always remember when I see it.. ^^


As someone who gets bored of using the same products easily, I really hope that I could finish using at least some of them before feeling like throwing myself off a cliff. Oh! I almost forgot. I also would like to include 2 non-makeup products into this project.


 One of my L'Occitane lotions - I swear this small bottle seem to be a bottomless pit to me. It doesn't seem to get A-N-Y less than what you see in this pic at all! I think it might be bewitched...

The Body Shop Vanilla Eau De Toilette - I love food type smells. I bought another of this as backup because TBS said that they were going to discontinue it.


Sooo... Yeah.. Those are my products and I am giving myself 6 weeks max to use up at least 5 products. If I don't give myself a time limit tahun depan pun belum tentu habis sebab procrastinate. Huhu..

Do you have any makeup products that you can't wait to use up? Please share in the comments below. Thank you for reading this entry. Cheers!


Love,
