Travel essentials // Part 2 // Makeup

Hello darlings.

A couple of weeks ago i posted my skincare travel essentials today's post is the follow up with my travel makeup essential. I didn't do them in one post otherwise it would have been the longest post ever! These are the products that i can't live without, that i use everyday and i had to take with me. I tend to take palettes or multipurpose products to reduce the space it takes up in my luggage. 

Base: 

L'Oreal True Match Foundation In Warm Ivory: £9.99. This foundation is a tad dark for me but its the right yellow undertone, i find most foundation are far too pink for me. But i find if i blend it well and add a lighter concealer it looks perfect! Its long lasting and creates a really nice coverage. I would have taken the Makeup Revolution Fast Base but i hadn't purchased it buy that point. 

Makeup Revolution Concealer And Define Concealer in C1: £4.00. I love this concealer i can totally see why it broke the internet, why every is obsessed with it, its brilliant! I have it in C1 which at the time was the lightest now they have C0, C.05. But i find C1 is a good colour, if anything i think its a tad too light! Which never happens with concealer for me, so i'm really happy with this product.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder In Translucent: £3.99. I've had this powder for years, its a good standard powder that sets my makeup and keeps the oil away. A powder i think everyone needs and i can't travel without.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette: £8.00. This is my holy grail product i can't live without it. The light contour shade is perfect for my skin tone and the highlighter is so beautiful and subtle but you can really build it up! Both in one handy palette perfect for going away.

L to R: L'Oreal Foundation, MR Concealer. MR Contour and Highlight shades.

Brows:

Max Factor Brow Shaper In Brown: £7.99. I can't go anywhere without this brow product, it literally lives in my handbag. Its a very fine pencil which means i get a precise brow, i can create a good shape. Its not too waxy or pigmented so i can't go over board. Long lasting, smudge prove, its exactly what i'm looking for. Great comb on the end too! 

Eyes:

Stila Eyes Are The Window Of The Soul Palette: £30.00. I love Stila cosmetics, The packaging is so beautiful and a little piece of luxury to me. Great selection of everyday colours which match any skin tone and makeup look. You can create so many different looks for both day and evening with this palette. Definitely an all round brilliant palette. 

Maybelline Liquid Eyeliner: £5.99 I've been using this liner for years, i've tried so may but i keep coming back to this one, i love it. Its a very find tip, very pigmented, i know it lasts all day and wont let me down. 

Nip And Fab Mascara: £9.95. I got this is the Nip and Fab set i bought on Black Friday which was an amazing deal! (post here) I've only just got round to using this one as i still had a couple of other mascaras on the go at the time. This is a really nice mascara, the wand is a nice small shape so it really catches all the lashes, it gives me length and volume. 

L to R Max Factor Brow pencil, Stila Palette a couple of shades, Maybelline line.

Lips

L'Oreal Lipstick In Erotique: £6.99. I love this shade especially for going out in the evening, i've always enjoyed L'Oreal lipsticks. I've never had a L'Oreal lip product that i didn't like. This one is so creamy and pigmented. 

Mac Lipstick In Velvet Teddy: £17.50. Lastly my long time favourite, and i think one that is everyone loves. This is a classic nude, i think this is perfect for everyday, its quick and easy to just throw on. You know it goes with all makeup looks. Its a comfortable matte, that is long lasting and fades away nicely.

L to R: L'oreal Erotique and Mac Velvet Teddy

Travel makeup Essentials // Drugstore Edition

Hello darlings

Two weeks ago i popped down to Devon with my family, for a few days, we took baby Isaac on his first little holiday. Being a new mum means i only have a certain amount of time to get ready in the morning and i'm on a budget now so i thought i'd show you guys my drugstore travel essential makeup products.

Base:

Maybelline Satin Finish Foundation (£7.99) this is a new one for me, i mentioned it in my March Favourites and i'm obsessed! i can't believe i hadn't tried this foundation sooner. Its a perfect satin finish, great for people with dry skin. Collection Lasting Perfect Concealer (£4.19) i use to love this so much so i picked up and new one and took it on holiday with me. Although i do like the coverage and how long it lasts i found it a little orange/dark on my skin. I purchased it in the shade light, but i don't remember it being like that, maybe i've just become really pale! Or got a dud one. To set my foundation and concealer i took the Seventeen Powder (£4.49). I always have one of these in my makeup bag, its the perfect mattifying powder. Although i have quite dry skin already so i don't need to be made matte but i love how long this makes my foundation last. No mater what foundation it always works! i was looking on the Boots website, it looks like they've changed the packaging. Lastly for base the Makeup Revolution Contour Palette (£8.00) i'm obsessed with highlighting and contouring and this palette is the best for both i've found so far. It has the perfect brown shade for my skin tone and i've even hit pan on the highlighter i love it so much!

Eyes:

I went for the easy option for eyebrows, i just took with me the Maybelline Brow Mascara (£4.99). I think this stuff is great, its a good colour match, lasts all day and doesn't make my eyebrows look hard and stuck together! Another great brow mascara is the L'Oreal one but this one was the one i had to hand. The Freedom 32 Innocent Palette (£8.00) is my latest palette, i chose this one as it was a great range of colours, gave me lots of options for day and night. Its a good size to travel with and as its my new palette it gave me a chance to have a good play with it! Another Maybelline product, i think they are my favourite drugstore brand and why i won so many of their products, is their Master Liquid Liner (£5.99). I've repurchased this liner so many times! It has the perfect size tip, it doesn't smudge and lasts all day. Its the perfect liner for people who are beginners or who struggle with liner. This is the last Maybelline product, i promise, the Push Up Mascara (£7.99). I have to admit it took me a while to purchase this mascara, i saw it all over social media but it had really mixed reviews. You could tell the positive ones were sponsored ones, so i was unsure, but i found it in B&M for about £3 so i though why not try it. I'm pleasantly surprised, its not as good as the Lash Sensational but i definitely prefer it to a lot of mascaras i have tired. It give me length ad volume but is a little clumpy so i wipe the wand before i apply the product to my lashes, 

Lips:

Lastly this is one of my oldies but goodies, Kate Rimmel '08' Lipstick (£5.49) its a classic nude shade that goes with every look i come up with so its the perfect choice for my travel makeup bag. 

I'd love to know what staples are in your makeup bag? 

Have you tried any of these products?
