What’s in my travel makeup bag?
Going on vacation is amazing but sometimes with the many weight limitations you need to think twice about what you are taking with you in your luggage.
I just got back from vacation and I wanted to show you the products I took with me, to give you an idea of how to pack when it comes to makeup.
1. A Sturdy Makeup bag
I got my makeup bag from Mango, it has a really nice brown leather covering and inside its decorated with flowers. I bought it while on vacation so I just stuck with it. I originally brought a Sephora brand makeup bag which was vinyl so that if anything spilt the bag wouldn’t get ruined.
Face:
I brought the following face products with me. I also attended a wedding function so I needed to make sure that I had sufficient makeup for those days. Also keep in mind that if you are going to humid places makeup sure your makeup is waterproof, has an SPF of at least 30 and that you always keep blotting sheets or powder to pat your face.
