Beauty Bag: Travel Essentials


As Easter half term will soon be upon us and some of you may be lucky enough to be going on holiday, I thought I would collate my beauty must-haves for travelling. 

The Eyes
Packing light is a must, which is why this Nars eyeshadow duo in Isolide is the perfect travel companion. These gorgeous golden shades will look great on any skin tone, and they look best when applied with the fingers which means one less tool to bring along..

For someone with naturally straight lashes an eyelash curler is a girl's best friend. Too Faced's Better than Sex Waterproof Mascara goes hand in hand with this and is probably the most brilliant mascara I have ever tried. As a recent addition to my beauty bag I am surprised at how much I am already in love with it, my eyelashes stay curled from the time I leave home to the time I come back (no signs of them dropping at all!), a huge 10/10 from me. 

The Brows
During the daytime I typically like to go bare-faced but if I fancy throwing on a little make-up then I love using Benefit's Gimme Brow to add some definition.

The Face
I always go back to my trusty Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser to conceal my under eyes and any blemishes. The shades are great and is super easy to apply when you are in a rush!   

Having glowing skin is what I always aim for with my make-up routine which is why Nars Sheer Glow has been the only foundation I have been using for the past two years. It is light on the skin, smooths out your skintone and leaves your skin feeling heavenly! To perfectly buff the foundation into my skin I use my trusty Kiko stippling brush. 

The Cheeks
To add a pop of colour back to the face I have been loving using the Chanel Les Beiges Blush in No 20. The product glides onto the skin and it is very easy to blend in for a natural finish. This shade has a lovely shimmer to it which helps achieve the glowing look and adds a lovely sheen to the face. 

To say I have a highlighter obsession may be a tad of an understatement but when I saw this mini travel duo pack of the Becca highlighter in Opal I couldn't help myself! The travel friendly size, the glow and the application of these is wonderful! I use my trusty The Body Shop Fan Brush to apply the powder highlight directly onto my cheekbones, bridge of my nose and cupids bow. 

The Lips
I usually pick my all time favourite lipstick or lipgloss to take on holiday with me and in this case it is Nyx's Liquid Lipstick Lingerie in Ruffle Trim. This was seriously stay on your lips for a long time and also does not dry them out. 

Ready, Set, Go
To finish it all off and ensure that my make-up does not budge throughout the day I have been using my Urban Decay Stay All Day Setting Spray - works like a miracle!
