So tomorrow, I am going on a plane to sweet sweet Vietnam and I have to pack enough makeup for three weeks plus suitable makeup for a wedding too! Trying to cram everything in a makeup bag is not easy my dear friend, however I managed to narrow down from what feels like 100 products to 25.
EYE MAKEUP
1. Napoleon Perdis liquid eyeliner in black
This is just for the wedding I'm going too! I was thinking of bringing a gel liner but I know using this will be so much easier.
2. Belle Madame waterproof eyeliner pencil in black
An easy essential
3. FACE it waterproof eyeliner pencil in navy
Navy is very complementing to brown eyes and makes the eyes look less harsh like a black eyeliner would do.
4. Urban Decay Naked Basics palette
It contains all matte eye shadows in neutral colours and in a handy small palette with a massive mirror!
5. ChiChi eyeshadow quad
I'm only really bringing this because of the matte dark brown which the Naked Basics palette doesn't have.
6. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Branded
My eye primer, my life.
7. Lovely ME:EX single eyeshadow in shimmer navy
I absolutely love this colour - blend this in the crease and it looks amazing with the Barely Branded colour.
8. Maybelline The Falsies Everlasting Volum' Express mascara in waterproof black
This is a must
9. Covergirl Lash Perfection mascara in very black
Just in case I can't be bothered trying to remove waterproof mascara later that day
10. Clinique eyeshadow quad
I'm only bringing this for the Strawberry Fudge colour - beautiful when applied in the inner corners of the eyes
11. Ecotools all over eyeshadow brush
Self explanatory
24. Models Prefer Dramatic Eyes brush
Fluffy end for blending!
EYE AREA
12. Cyber Colors Auto Eyebrow Pencil in dark brown
Duh
13. BU eyelash curler
Again, duh
14. Bourjois Touche Healthy Mix concealer in 63
I'm bringing this concealer because it's really light in weight, and a little darker than my other concealers so if I do get tanned, it'll look ay okay
FACE MAKEUP
15. Australis blush in rosy cheeks
It's the smallest blush I have - every other one are in palettes which I don't want to bring along, however the colour is really nice and not super shimmery like most of my other blushes.
16. ChiChi Bronze Me Up in medium
I like it because it's matte, so it looks a little bit more natural when applied.
17. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Skin Transformer
"It's a crime not to prime" - For the wedding I guess. And eyelids if I don't wanna use Barely Branded.
18. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 235 pure beige
I haven't really worn this foundation but I compared it to my Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum and realised it is a lot lighter to wear, so since it is hot over there, light foundation sounds like the better option.
19. Starlet Loose Powder in translucent finishing
I kind of need it to mattify the foundation. But I put some in a little take away container because the actual thing is huge.
LIP PRODUCTS
20. Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment
This is generally my lip balm but it can also help with burns, scratches and insect bites.
21. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters in sorbet and juicy papaya
I cannot part away from these for this long since I bought them so recently! I'm not sure if I'll wear it everyday or anything. When we go out shopping or what not I will.
22. Savvy Lip Stain in watermelon
I'll probably wear this most days just because it's so easy to apply and doesn't need to be reapplied at all.
23. Sally Chapman Real Techniques buffing brush/stippling
I actually use this brush to apply blush and powder! The brush is so nicely dense, it really does the job with little effort.
The stippling brush is obviously for applying foundation.
MISCELLANEOUS
I bought this little atomizer online a few months ago for this exact reason! You can fill it with your favourite perfume, which for me at the moment is Our Moment by One Direction (it smells amazing by the way). It's really hard to explain how to fill the atomizer but you can check it out here: http://www.travalo.com
I will try my very best to blog throughout the trip, and I have some ideas tucked away in my brain, but I actually don't know if I'll have much internet over there, plus I want to spend time with my family! So if this is goodbye for now, I will be back in three weeks!
