What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?


I have seen so many people share what beauty items they carry along with them when they are traveling so, today I am going to share with you all what I carry in my makeup bag, when I am away from home. In case you are wondering, the makeup bag I use frequently is one by Elemis. I love it because it is very sturdy, and not to mention, very spacious. This is great for me because I tend to over-pack so, I need all the room I can get.

Let's get started!


Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Lightweight UV Lotion- This is the moisturizer that I use most. I love the fresh scent it has, it moisturizes my dry face nicely, and it has an SPF of 15. I am almost running low on this moisturizer so, I need to purchase a new one soon.


Maybelline Fit Me Foundation- I have said it before, and I will say it again-I LOVE this foundation. It is one of my HG foundations. It goes on smoothly, the medium-buildable coverage that I obtain from using Fit Me is great, and the healthy glow it gives my face is a nice treat. 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer in Neutralizer- I have a dark under eye area, as well as discoloring on the lids. The yellow coloring in this product does a lovely job at neutralizing the brown discoloration. This is what I use before I go ahead and apply my concealer. 

MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW30- I like the coverage I can get, just by using a bit of product. I also like the fact that this concealer contains an SPF of 35. I honestly don't see too many concealers that contain SPF in them so, its nice to see that this one does.


Hard Candy Fox In A Box Blush in Truth Or Dare- This boxed blush gives my cheeks that perfect amount of warmth as well as a pretty, soft pink pop of color that is very complimenting.

MAC Bronzer in Refined Golden- I have been using this a lot lately to contour my cheeks. I like the contouring effect I get from this product, and it looks quite natural. This bronzer does contain small, golden shimmers but, they aren't overly apparent once applied. I got this bronzer when it was released as part of the MAC Surf, Baby! collection, over the summer. This bronzer is part of MAC's permanent collection. I just got mines with the Surf, Baby! packaging.


MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft And Gentle- I really like the natural looking, lit from within glow I get from this highlighter. I apply soft and gentle on the bridge of my nose, the top of cheekbones, and on the temples of my forehead. A little bit of this product goes a long way. 


NYX Eyeshadow in Highlight- Since I frequently apply shimmered eyeshadow colors on my lids, I like my browbone color to be on the matte side. This is a great brow bone highlight color. It blends beautifully, and effortlessly. 

Wet n' Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Sweet As Candy- I tend to carry with me neutral eyeshadow colors. Neutrals are very easy to wear and, I think they look great day or night. 


Wet n' Wild Ultimate Brow Kit in Ash Brown- When it comes to filling in my brows, I can always rely on this eyebrow powder kit from Wet n' Wild. I can use either color for my dark, brow hair. I love the brow wax. It helps keep my brow hairs in tact, all day.

Elf Eyelid Primer in Sheer- I love this eyeshadow primer from E.L.F. Not only does it keep my eyeshadows in tact for a long time, but its also crazy inexpensive! This is a bargain gem that everyone should have in their makeup collection. 

Maybelline Full 'N Soft Mascara/Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara- Full 'N Soft gives me natural looking volume, while Illegal Length gives me awesome length. Layer on both mascaras, and you have yourself a whole lot of volume and length. Its a win win situation, in which one doesn't have to compromise! 


MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Pressed Finishing Powder- This translucent pressed powder sets my foundation beautifully. I apply it all over my face and it does not make my face look caked up. This is always with me when I am on the go.

Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder- I love using this finely milled, smooth loose powder specifically for setting the concealer under my eyes. I really like that this powder does not settle in the fine lines that I have under the eye area, which some powders tend to do. 



When it comes to lipsticks, I tend to rely heavily on the more neutral colored ones. But, I always remember to bring along at least one bright color. It may come in handy for unexpected events in which one must make a statement.
