My Travel Makeup Bag

What's in my travel makeup bag

Greetings from Ft. Lauderdale! My husband is here for work related business, and I decided to tag along. It was a long drive (3 1/2 hours, yikes!) but it is so nice to finally get away.

Believe it or not, but I actually brought my camera along with me so I can take some photos here. A bit backwards, but that's fine! I went with the bare essentials this time, and was able to fit it all in my Life's A Hoot bag from Thirty-One Gifts.

You all have seen the Maybelline Age Rewind several times on this blog, so I don't have much more to say about it other than at this point, I'm trying to use it up. I want to try something new. Instead I am opting for the Avon Brightening Concealer. It's a bit sheer for my taste, but I still like it. For my foundation I brought along the Loreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder. I just bought this on Sunday, and so far I have mixed feelings. I definitely plan on doing a review on this product, so look for that in the next couple of weeks.

I don't have a powder for a few reasons. 1) I didn't back one because I have one that stays in the overnight/toiletry bag, 2) Since my foundation turns to powder, I wanted to test the longevity of it. I also thing it would be a bit too much powder.

This is the area that I had to cut back the most. As usual, I'm sticking with my Pixi Large Lash mascara (PR sample). I brought two eyeliners, as well as one that lives int he overnight bag. My Maybelline Master Drama eyeliner in Made of Steel is ok. It's not my favorite, but it was the only silver eyeliner I could find. I kind of settled there. I also have a purple eyeliner from Avon that is not pictured I have two of these, and love them. I also included my Elf Liquid Eyeliner just in case, but I don't see myself using it.

For eyeshadow I brought my Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink (one of my favorites) and my Mark Eyeshadows.

Since I bought it, I haven't stopped obsession over my Maybelline Color Whisper. It's moisturizing, and adds a hint of color. I also brought a backup, just in case I'm feeling like I want a change (doubt it, though), and grabbed my Revlon Just Bitten longest name ever in Honey.


I tried to keep everything pretty basic, and took only what I knew I would use. Which, is the opposite of what my daily makeup bag looks like.


What do you take with you on trips? Do you bring products you've never tried before, or do you stick with your most trusted ones like I tend to do?

  3. There's a beige Color Tattoo that I want (probably the same one you have), but nothing beats the Color Whispers. I think they're better than Lip Butters.

  4. ooh really!? i love the lip butters so i may have to go get a color whisper or two. i was looking at petal rebel but idk what the color payoff will be like :/

  5. I have 4 lip butters, and the color whispers are more moisturizing in my opinion. Sometimes I just carry it around instead of having my Burt's Bees with me.


    I can only speak for Pink Possibilities, and I think the payoff is good considering what it is.
