My Makeup Travel Bag


For a lot of us summer comes hand in hand with summer trips. I took a small vacation a little while ago to Ohio and as I was packing the hardest thing for me to pack was my makeup. I mean, for most of us girls packing is never easy but I had such a hard time picking what makeup to take without taking too much, and I think I probably still overdid it a bit. I though that showing you what I took would help some of you out when you are packing that makeup travel bag.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Para muchos de nosotros el verano viene acompañado de viajes, sean locales o internacionales. Hace poco tomé unas pequeñas vacaciones a Ohio y mientras empacaba lo más difícil que se me hizo fue empacar mi maquillaje. Cierto es que para la mayoría de nosotras las mujeres empacar nunca es algo fácil pero no pensé que se me haría tan difícil escoger que maquillaje llevar conmigo sin llevar demasiado y aun así creo que tal vez se me fue la mano un poco. Pensé que el demostrarles lo que yo llevé en mi viaje los podría ayudar cuando ustedes estén empacando la bolsa de maquillaje para su viaje.
Too much? / Demasiado?
Here’s my list / Aquí mi lista:
1- Elf Studio Eyelash Curlers
2- Ecotools Travel Kabuki Brush
3- Revlon Colorstay Foundation in 330 Natural Tan for Combination/Oily Skin
4- Clinique Superpowder double face makeup in 09 matte cream
5- Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in 30 Candy Coral
6- Nyx Powder Blush in Pinky
7- Elf Countouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
8- Covergirl Lash Blast Volume in 800 Very Black
9- Rimmel Sexy Curves in 003 Extreme Black
10- Loreal MagicLumi concealer in 864 Medium
11- Revlon Photoready concealer in 003 Light Medium
12- Benefit Erase Paste in no.2 Medium
13- Nyx Skin Tone Eyeshadow Base
14- Revlon Lip Butter in 035 Candy Apple
15- Neutrogena Rivitalizing Lip Balm in Sunny Berry 30
16- Loreal Color Riche Lipstick in 800 Fairest Nude
17- Revlon Super Loustrous Lipgloss in 150 Peah Petal
18- Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Beige
19- Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in 400 Temptress
20- Wet-N-Wild Color Icon Walking on Eggshells Trio
21- Maybelline Quad in Chai Latte
22- Wet-N-Wild Color Icon Single Shadow in Brulee and Nutty
23- Maybelline Color Tattoo in 45 Bold Gold, 35 Tough as Taupe and 25 Bad to the Bronze
24- Maybelline Line Stilleto in Blackest Black
25- Maybelline Master Shape Brow pencil in Soft Brown
26- Maybelline Unstoppoble Eyeliner in Cinnabar 704
27- Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in Midnight Master



Gosh! After I put it on a list it really seems like too much! I’ll explain why I chose some of these products. The ecotools kabuki brush is not the only brush I travel with ( I also take the Mrs. Bunny set from Sigma) but I keep this one in the bag for those cases where you have to take the bag and run out the door. I take these three blushes because I find that carrying a nice pinky blush, a coral and a nude works for most neutral looks and the bronzer is my favorite for contouring. Within these two mascaras I have a natural look and combining them, a glamorous look to my eyelashes. These lipstick and lip glosses make for  various looks depending how I combine them and I always like to have the option of one bright lip color. Lastly, all of the eyeshadows work well together so I can get various different but fairly neutral looks. But does it fit in my travel bag from Clinique?

Dios mío! Después de poner todo esto en una lista si que me parece demasiado! Explicaré porque escogí alguno de estos productos. La brucha de ecotools no es la única brucha que llevo conmigo (también llevo el Mrs. Bunny set de Sigma) pero mantengo esta en la bolsa para cuando tienes que agarrar el maquillaje e irte. Llevo estos ‘blushes’ porque encuentro que un rosita, un coral y un color mas neutral trabajan bien con más colores de sombras y el bronceador es my favorito para darle forma a la cara. Con estas dos mascaras tengo un ‘look’ natural y uno mas glamoroso para mis pestañas. Los pintalabios y brillos me proveen muchos colores de los que escoger depende de como los combine y siempre me gusta llevar por lo menos un color brillante. Por último, todas las sombras trabajan bien combinadas entre sí para darme muchas opciones de ‘looks’ bastante neutrales. Espero les haya ayudado! Pero todo esto cabe en la bolsa de Clinique?

YEAH! It's all in there! / SI! Todo está ahi dentro!

  3. Certainly not too much and you're not over doing it. You just had the essentials, that's all! Also, you never know what you will need when something came up. It is better to always be prepared when you are away from home. ;)

  4. Quite over packed. Don't worry, someday you will learn and realize that you are overdoing it when you travel and you just wanted to lessen the makeup to bring with you. By then, you will be able to identify what are the must-haves and the most essential(s). Also which one is the carry it all for your skin. Good luck!
