Whats in my makeup bag: weekend at the beach

Last week I went for a few days to the beach and as I was only going to be there for about three full days, I decided to minimize my makeup carry on as much as possible, this was the result.

For brushes I took my Models Own travel makeup brush set, perfect since it's compact and has every brush you could need in just a few days away.

I decided to take my FashionistA palette, since I can fit blushers and bronzers as well as eyeshadows, which no only makes your makeup bag less bulky but also makes the deciding on what to put on a lot easier.

I knew I wasn't going to be wearing much eyeshadow during the day, with the heat and the sun and all, so my choice of colors was only for night time. 

I chose to take my L'oreal gel liner instead of my MAC one because this is less creamy which makes it the better option for summer time.

For lashes I took my Revlon Lash Potion mascara, I've been obsessed with this one lately, I love it for sure. 

For skin I chose the Maybelline Fit me anti-shine stick, this stick foundation is not just great for traveling, but also great for summer time, since you apply it with your fingers, you don't need a brush and "supossedly" you don't even need to powder it (I do, because I like a real matte finish and my skin is extra oily). 

For powder I took my Mattify Me by Look Beauty, this has been my favourite powder of the year, and what makes it great for travel is the fact that: 

1) It's translucent, so if you get a tan, you can still match it with your skin

2) it has a great mirror, which makes it great for doing your makeup anywhere

3) it's super steardy, seriouslly, I once droped it on the street and not only it didn't smash, it didn't even broke a bit, nothing!

For concealer I took my Dark circle eraser my Maybelline, this his my favourite ever concelaer, so I just picked up a darker shade (to go better with my itty bitty tan) and popped it on my makeup bag. 

For lips I chose the L'oreal lip caresse in Princess (a lovely coraly orange)

Extreme's AlldayMatte liquid lipstick in Red (perfect for going out since it will never leave your lips, no matter what)

Maybelline's Popsicle in Pink Lollipop (a pink sheer wash of colour, perfect for summer day time)

What's on your makeup bag?

Capsule makeup bag

I try not to carry my entire makeup collection with me every day, so for my everyday makeup look, I try to keep it simple and small. I switch certain items depending on an specific look, but otherwise, this is with me pretty much every day.

 

1. MUA power pout in Crazy in love. This lip crayon in perfect for a dark yet moisturising lip.

2. eyeliner brush. Depending on the look I'm going for, I like to switch between gel and liquid linner.

3. Rimmel Stay matte foundation. I love this foundation, I pair it with my Super Natural Control by maybelline powder, but the lid broke, so I had to take it out of my bag.
4. Maybelline eye studio gel liner in Blackest Black. I layed off this liner for a while until I came upon a blog post on how to "freshen up" gel/cream products, a little bit of rubbing alcohol and this was as good as new.
5. Natural blush. This is one of my favourite blushers, it's super pigmented and matte, and the color is lovely.
5. Maybelline Color Tattoo in though as taupe. this is my every day eye color.
7. Don't really know the brad, it came in a gift set, but this colors are just perfect for a touch of color on the lid and they are super pigmented and tiny, so it's perfect size for the makeup bag.
8. Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait. peachy nude color, and super moisturising.
9. Emolan waterproof liquid liner. This is my favourite ever liquid eyeliner. and if you are clumsy like me, this is perfect, because it dries quite quickly.
10. L'oreal caresse wet shine stain in eve.
11. MUA lipstick in shade 11. a darker nude color, perfect for a "no-makeup" makeup look.
12. Rimmel lash accelerator mascara. This is my current favourite mascara, for me it's the best drugstore mascara, better than the falsies or any other, it separates and elongates my lashes like crazy, and it's supposed to have a lash grown complex, but I haven't noticed a difference.
13. Rimmel Match perfection concealer. Really like this concealer, it´s quite sheer, so if you have really bad under eye circles I wouldn't recommend it, but if you just like to illuminate your under eyes, this is perfect.
14. Blue Q. air mail pouch.
Missing: mattifing powder (the lid broke) and Models Own neon brush set (they were dirty so I took them out).

What's on your makeup bag? What item can't you leave the house without?
