Lips
When it comes to going away I find it's best to always bring three four lip products. Excessive? Probably. This time I wanted to bring of course a couple of nude lipsticks, a bright red lipstick 'those occasions' and naturally a nice everyday pink. This way I feel as if I've covered off every outfit possibility and day-to-night lip combinations. I wouldn't of course go away without a couple of handy lip liners so my KIKO ones will be coming for the trip too.
Coming with me.....
KIKO Rebel Romantic Lip Liners 01 & 02
Eyes
Only two palettes? Well truth be told my Urban Decay one might sneak it's way in very last minute tomorrow morning only because I have a blog idea I can write whilst there...., but if not I wanted my two neutral palettes. I adore the shade Marzipan and Toast in Tanya Burr's palette, but the Too Faced palette is a must on a night out as I adore using the shade 'Push Up' all across my lid. Naturally eyeliner is coming with me incase I go out-out and I wouldn't go anywhere without mascara and my NYX eyebrow pencil. The Bourjois Radiance Concealer is too the perfect under-eye concealer, perfect for brightening up the bags under my eyes (hopefully a couple of lie-ins can sort that out!)

Face
I don't want to pack too many face products as I would rather save space for more lip products so I'm being good and only packing 1x contour kit, 1x blusher, 1x highlighter and 1x bronzer. I have to say I have picked my favourites out of my entire collection of each, just because they compliment each other so well!
Coming with me...
Finally of course are the base products. My foundation of choice is perfect as it is buildable if I want a full coverage for a night out and find it works best on my skin in the heat. It's going to be pretty scorching when I head home so a setting spray is a must along with the strobe cream for a more dimensional base - basically it goes everywhere with me!
Coming with me...
So there we have it, a run down of the products that will be coming with me on my trip to Switzerland. Although okay, not the smallest of makeup travel bags, I always think it's much better to have too much than too little (I'm definitely one of those people who packs 10 extra pairs of underwear and socks on trips). Let me know if you're heading anywhere soon and what some of your must-haves would be!
i really want to try the setting spray! lovely make up bag too xo

The setting spray is fantastic in the Summer! Aw thank you, it came with the Zoeva brush set when I purchased the whole set :) xx
DeleteI love Too Faced eye shadow palettes! They always have a nice variety of shades and the formula is incredible!

The formula is to die for! I really want to try more and more of their palettes! One is never enough! xx
DeleteThis looks a lot like my travel makeup bags except I usually bring a few trio/duo/single eyeshadows rather than a palette x
ReplyDeletewww.beautyfromkatie.blogspot.com
I wish I had more nude/brown single eyeshadows as they would be much better than bringing a whole palette - agreed! i'm always so worried that a palette will smash inside my suitcase! xx
DeleteI need to give Maybelline Lash Sensational another try. So many other people use it that I think I might like it a second go around.
ReplyDeleteAbby Talks
I think it's one of those ones that takes a while to love - it does need to dry up for a week or so otherwise it does start of clumpier than I like!
DeleteThis is all so perfect! The Too Faced Natural Eyes is the perfect palette, I've hit pan on most of the shades. Lash Sensational is a must!

Aww thank you! I know I can't believe I've not hit pan though yet, I literally use it near to everyday! xx
DeleteI think it's imperative to always have more than one lip choice. Russian Red is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteGeorgia | The Weekend Attic
I think so too! Although I didn't actually wear the Russian Red when I was there! Far too hot for a red lip! xx
DeleteHave a lovely trip home! I always overpack lip products and concealers for some reason, really need to dig out my Sleek contour kit, haven't used it for so long!
ReplyDeleteDanielle's Beauty Blog
Thank you Danielle! It was so lovely! I know, I didn't actually end up using the russian red lipstick at all - oh well always better to have too much than too little! xx
DeleteHave a great trip back home, I can't imagine how excited you are. I wish my travel makeup is as simple as yours, I have the tendency to bring everything.

Thank you Shireen! I had such a lovely time :D I actually did end up bringing the Naked 3 palette as well which was maybe a bit much! Better to have more than not enough! xx
DeleteI adore velvet teddy! Soft and gentle is also a must have!! Lovely post and that Zoeva makeup bag is so pretty aha.

DeleteHope you have a wonderful time at home with your parents (and cats!) xx

I did thank you Lisa!! It was so nice, definitely spent most of the time with the Cats ;) xx
DeleteA NYX Matte Cream would definitely be something i would bring with me as they're long lasting and i love that kind of finish x
