Hello lovelies! I apologize for my lack of posts, I've been busy with school and last week I traveled to Mexico! :) I went to a beautiful place called Puebla, it has a lots of attractions and touristy places to visit, plus locals were celebrating Independence Day which is on September 16th, the season's food was amazing and the people over there were very nice and welcoming. I had a blast! But moving to what I took with me:
I packed what I considered necessary, the weather was warm so I didn't needed a heavy foundation and I only picked natural-look products. My makeup bag is from Marc by Marc Jacobs, i got it as a gift when I made a purchase. It originally came with 4 empty travel size bottles to put in moisturizer, shampoo, conditioner, etc.
As a primer I took Touch in Sol Feels Like Honeymoon Skinbase, I got this travel-size sample in my August Glossybox. Touch in Sol is a korean brand that has trendy products and in my opinion, they delivers great results. The primer has a very soft texture and my skin feels instantly softer after application. To keep my skin moisturized and sun-protected I took Benefit's YouRebel tinted moisturizer. It doesn't cover up major imperfections, but it evens out my skin tone. For my cheeks I took Nars Luster blush, which has been a favourite of mine lately. And to cover imperfections the Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder SPF 15 in Natural Beige is perfect for it, it has a silky texture and it's buildable from sheer to medium coverage. Finally, to conceal dark circles I use the Mac Select Cover Up in NW25.
Lashes make a really big difference in most complexions, and personally I believe without it makeup just isn't the same! I've been using the Maybelline's Great Lash in Blackest Black, I used to really like it but lately I find it smears a lot and I can't put it in my lower lashes or otherwise I'll look like a racoon. Next is a multi task tool, Mac129 powder/blush brush in travel size. I'm not really sure if they sell this anymore, I bought it 2 years ago. It's really useful and has lasted me a long time! For my eyes I took Mac Powerpoint Pencil in Engraved and Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Nymphea.
My tweezers are a MUST every time I travel, I have taken good care of these Tweezerman pink Tweezers, I've had them for about 2 and a half years and they're still mint. Bravo Tweezerman! And last but not least, I took this lip combo: Urban Decay Lip Junkie Lipgloss in Naked (have you seen the latest Vice Palette? Definitely on my wishlist!) and Mac Cremesheen in Creme Cup.
What's on your travel makeup bag? What are your must-take products?
