What's In My Travel Makeup Bag - Summer Edition.

 Hello everybody! How's everyone doing? Tomorrow I'm leaving for my summer vacation (Naxos here I come!!), so it was a chance for me to show you what make up products I'm bringing with me on this trip! Just a note: I keep the makeup brushes that I'm bringing with me in a seperate makeup bag so I'm not going to show them in this post.

Garnier BB Cream in Light for oily skins

For when my skin is in a good day and I just want bit of coverage on my face. 

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW foundation

A great foundation for night looks for more coverage, but still looking natural and dewy.

Revlon Nearly Naked Powder

A lightweight powder that provides a medium coverage, is a bit darker than my skintone so I'm going to use it when I'm more tanned.

Mac Prep and Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast

The brightening concealer I use for under my eyes, it has a thin consistency, and that makes it perfect for the hot summer weather. 

Mac Studio Finish concealer

I wasn't planning to bring this one with me, but lately I've been breaking out like crazy.

Seventeen #03 Cafe Au Lait Matte Blush

I decided not to bring one of my bronzers with me but instead bring my HG matte brown blush that can easily be used as a bronzer. 

Seventeen #02 Hazelnut Pearl Blush

A newly addition to my blush family. At beautiful bronzed-beige shade with shimmers, I'm not going to bring a seperate highlighter with me, I'm just going to use this one.

Mac Peaches Blush

I just could not leave for vacation and not bring a peachy blush with me........I just can't! Peaches is THE one for me when it comes to peachy cheeks. 

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

If you're reading my blog long enough you'd propably already know how much I love this eye palette, I could just live with this one alone in my makeup collection and use it everyday!

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Hot and humid weather means that nothing stays on my lids for more than 20 minutes, so an eye primer is a must have.

Seventeen The Stylist mascara

This is new to my collection,  I just started trying this out, I'm not so sure how I feel about it yet. It doesn't give much volume or length, it's just an OK mascara.

Mac Lingering Brow Pencil

One of my HG brow pencils, the shade matches exactly the shade of my brows, it contains wax which is great because it's going to stay on, even on the very humid days!

Mac Flamingo Lipstick

A gorgeous neon coral pink shade with glossy finish, is there anything better for a summer makeup look? I don't think so!

Seventeen Matte Lisptick #24

A brand new addition to my lipstick family, I really love this one for day looks. It's a light peachy shade with a bit of pink and beige, and it's also matte.

NYX  Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel

A beautiful super glossy light coral pink lipgloss with no shimmers. I think everyone should have this in their summer makeup bag.

Essence Lipliner in 09 Nude Coral

The perfect lipliner for all of my coral and peachy lipsticks.

Korres Mango Lip Butter

A coral lip balm is a must have, the perfect lip product when I'm super lazy to apply lipstick or lipgloss.

Maybelline BabyLips SPF20

A lipbalm with SPF is a must when you're going for summer vacation, especially if you're going to the beach or the pool.

 * Makeup bag - Forever21

Well I think I packed a bit too much this time, I'm propably going to use only half of these, but I always like to be prepaired. Do you over-pack like me?

What's In My Makeup Bag.

Happy Monday everyone! I wanted to do a "what's in my makeup bag" post for so long, but I was afraid that you're going to find it boring, since I don't carry a lot with me whenever I go out, but since everyone has done a post like this, I said why not? Keep in mind that these are only the things I carry with me in my handbag, and not my makeup of the day, things that I know I will need the most in case I want to touch up my make up, and some other essentials.

 I got this makeup bag last summer from H&M and I'm completely in love with it. I love the black and white design, it's super soft and I can put a lot of stuff in there.

I'll start with the things I use to touch up my face make up. My number one essential, Mac Blot Powder, that stuff is my savior, I use it for over 4 years now and I always carry it around with me, I still haven't found a better powder for my oily skin! What I always like to carry with me is a blush, I don't know why but my blush always dissapears off my skin within a few hours, especially at summertime. Here I have Mac's Nuance Mineralize Blush, it's a beautiful peachy bronze shade with golden sheen, so you don't need to wear a seperate highlighter with this one, the perfect blush for summer.

Lastly a blush brush is very essential, I carry with me Stila's #24 Double Sided Powder brush, because it's the only short handled blush brush I own. Even though it's a very old brush (Stila doesn't make this anymore), it's still smooth as a baby's butt! This is the most expensive brush I own, I paid 55 euros back in 2005 for this baby, it's like I'm carrying something really precious with me!

As for my lips, most of the times I like to carry a lot of lipsticks with me, sometimes even three, but now I'm OK with only one from Dior, my beloved Dior Addict in Delice, a beautiful coral shade with glossy finish. I also carry a mini lipgloss, even though I don't wear lipglosses that often, Benefit's Coralista is one of my favorites, the texture is like a balm, and it's in a mini size which is perfect to carry around.

I love when I find perfumes in mini sizes, because that means you can bring your perfume in your bag without taking a whole 50ml bottle of it, which are also pretty heavy. This one is the Escada Cherry In The Air, which came as a gift with purchase when my mother bought me the full size as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. I love the scent, it's very fresh and fruity.

And here are the rest of my essentials, that I always have to carry around with me. Of course a hand sanitizer, who doesn't need a hand sanitizer with him? It's the number one essential! Eye drops, because my allergies are killing me every single summer, and I end up with red eyes all the time. A mini hand cream, Nivea's Soft, which is my HG hand and body cream, the texture is light yet still moisturizing, and the smell reminds me of summertime, since I was a child. A lip balm, right now I'm loving Nivea's Caramel Cream Lip Butter, it has a delicious caramel taste. And lastly Sephora Blotting Papers, which I cannot live without, I use them all the time before I use my Mac Blot powder, and it works like magic, keeps my oiliness away for a long time.

So these are all the stuff I have in my makeup bag, I hope I didn't bore you that much. I know some girls like to carry around with them more makeup stuff, but I don't see the point in this since I don't go out for many hours and my makeup lasts for all this time I'm out.

What's in your makeup bag?? I'm curious to know!
