What to take on holiday - Make up bag

When i go on holiday, i either over pack or under pack. This series i am doing on my blog will prepare you for going away on holiday in the summer. 

Firstly, you will need a make up bag that is good for travel such as a double compartment bag or a roll/ hang up bag (i'm not sure what they're called). I don't think the roll bags will be handy with travelling because they have a lot of room in those bags and we are only packing light! 

As you can see this make up bag has two compartments this is good for separation in your make up. You could put make up in one, brushes in the other or you could put face products and eyes and lips in the other, whatever you would like to do. 
The first make up item to put in your bag is some sort of sunblock (i would take two if i were you, one in your make up bag and one in your carry on) to protect your skin. This is the Piz Buin Allergy Suncream for face. 

Next product i would bring a BB Cream/ CC Cream, you don't want to bring a foundation because its to heavy and your skin needs to breathe during hot weather. As there will be hot weather i recommend bringing and face refresher spray, i love using the simple moisture boost spray just to refresh my face from the heat. 

As for concealer, you can just put it in the places needed such as; you under eye, acne, pimples and any discoloration. For these purposes you can use the Rimmel Hide The Blemish Concealer. The stick formulation is better for hot weather because it's harder for the product to melt off of your face.

As for pressed powder, the one product that i love has to be the Rimmel Stay Matte. It is the best powder i have ever come across.

When packing bronzer and blush try and find a duo to make more room for other products. I recommend the Nars Duo in 'Oragasm' The packaging is really compact, but a lot of product in the two pans.

Eye shadow can be a problem when packing because its either to big or you may smash it. I have solved that problem for you! You can take the Revlon ColourStay Dual Ended Shadow Sticks. This is good because it won't crease as badly and will last longer.

For eye brows you can use an eyebrow pencil, if you use powder it will melt off your face and it will look awful! Using the Anastasia Brow Pencils can help, they are the most raved about eyebrow pencils ever! They come in many shades so they will have a colour for you.

Next is mascara and eyeliner, i think using waterproof eye products would be great for the summer. I recommend using Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof and for eyeliner Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil.

For lip products i think you should take 3/4. One lipstick, one lip stain, one lip balm and one lip gloss. You can wear the balm, lipstick and the gloss in the day and then the balm, lip stain and gloss at night events.

NO7 Lip Stain - Statement 

Mac - Blankety 

Burt's Bees Sun Protect - Lip Balm 

Avon Clear Gloss - Clear 

Thank you if you made it all the way down here :) I hoped this helped you to only pack the things needed! Next i will be doing toiletries - hair, body and hygiene. Hope you have a great day! Speak to you in my next post!
