What's in my Travel Makeup Bag!

This is what I have packed so far! We're leaving for two weeks in Gran Canaria next wednesday, so we've started packing a little bit. There are a few more items I might put in there but I'll mention that as we go along, hehe.

All of my makeup items are in this little netting bag. It's very small and convenient, and fits a surprising amount of stuff!

Here you can see the things that are stuffed in my bag.

Here are my faceproducts. I know; I'm bringing three concealers, but there's a reason, haha. The Missha Style Perfect concealer in the black pot is to be used alone. It is very pigmented, but also very dry so I can't use it under my eyes. On the top are my two ELF Tone Correcting Concealers. They're in the shades Rosy Beige and Ivory. I like Ivory for under my eyes and Rosy Beige for when I'm using a BB Cream as well.
Then I have my L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream in Fair and my Super+ Triple Function BB Cream. Then my Eucerin Anti-Redness moisturizer which technically isn't makeup, but it's small and might get lost in my other bag. Same goes for the ELF Daily Moisture Stick.

Then I'm bringing a bright pink lipstick which is from MNY Maybelline. It's from the Material Girl collection and the shade is 802A.The natural color is a super cheap lipstick from ELF. It's only $1 and it's in the shade Seductive which is my favourite shade from ELF! The lipliner is from Maybelline. It's a ColorSensational Lipliner in 440 Coral Fire, or at least what is left of it. 
Both the lipsticks are incredibly creamy and comfortable on the lips, too.
I will probably put in a red as well because I looooove red lips!

Then there are my eye stuff! I'm bringing two Me Now Generation II Eye/Lip liners, the green one and the black one. They are really soft and cheap, I got mine off of eBay. For liquid liner I'm bringing ELF Liquid Liner which is great! It dried quickly and stays put all day long. I am actually using ELF Eyelid Primer now, but there's not much left, and I don't want to run out while I'm away, so I'm bringing the Lumene Beauty Base Eyeshadow Primer instead. It's just a skincolored primer which a slight tint to it. I am bringing a travel size mascara by IsaDora too. It's the Extra Volume Build-Up Mascara and as you can tell the plastic is still on it, haha.
Also there's a mirror and the small stray-bottle contains some DIY brush cleanser.

Here are the swatches of the eyeliners.

Thank you so much for reading guys!
There will be posts on the brushes I'm bringing and also the skincare items and such in not too long =) I will also add the additional things I'm adding to my makeup bag in a post called the same as this one, just with "Extras" added at the end. 

Also, since I'll be away for two weeks I'm planning to pre-write some posts, so if there are any reviews or such you would like to be posted then let me know =)

Just A Beauty Tag!


I got this tag from http://thethoughtsbasket.blogspot.no, and if you want to read hers, click HERE


MAKEUP

Blush or bronzer? I seriously have no idea. I usually don't wear either. But because my cheeks usually are pretty pigmented and rosy, especially in the winter, I think I'll go with bronzer, or a warm-toned blush!

Lip gloss or lipstick? I do like lipstick for that super in-your-face color, and I don't really like lipgloss that much anymore, it's just a little too sticky, so I think I'll definetly go with lipstick.

Eye liner or mascara? Mascara, definetly! I wouldn't walk around with eyeliner and close to no-show eyelashes...

Foundation or concealer? Uhm, neither? Maybe foundation if I'm going to use one though. I usually use tinted moisturizer, but I guess it goes under one. A foundation can be applied in several layers if you want more coverage on a certain area of your face.

Neutral or color eye shadow? I usually go for natural shades for everyday if I'm wearing eyeshadow. It's just so easy to work with.

Pressed or loose eye shadows? I don't really own that many loose eyeshadows, so even though I like them too, I'm going with pressed. They're just a little easier to work with.

Brushes or sponges? Brushes all the way!


NAILS

Long or short? Short. I'm a nailbiter, it's horrible. It is a little on and of though. But for me short nails are pretty long too, if they reach my fingertips, I'm more than happy. I do prefer the look of long nails, but mine are - unfortunatly - short.

Acrylic or natural? Natural nails. My last blogpost was on a set of false nails, and by the end of the day they were off. Definetly a no-go.

Brights or darks? Both? Is that a valid answer?

Flower or no flower? No flower? I guess this thing has to do with manicure, but if I do anything fancy I place a nail-sticker on there. Easy and pretty!


BODY

Perfume or body splash? Perfume. It lasts so much longer than body splash/spray!

Lotion or body butter? I do use both, but I usually use lotion because it absobs into the skin quicker.

Body wash or soap? Liquid body wash.


FASHION

Jeans or sweat pants? Sweat pants are really comfortable, but jeans look way nicer, so I'm on jeans!

Long sleeve or short? Short sleeve. Long sleeves freak me out a little bit for some reason!

Dresses or skirts? Dresses, definetly! It's so simple just to throw on and look gorgeous with no effort!

Stripes or plaid? Plaid, I've never been particularly fond of stripes..

Flip flops or sandals? Flip Flops on the beach, sandals... never? I usually go for sneakers, ballerinas or high heels..

Scarves or hats? Scarves in the winter. Norway is so cold!

Studs or dangly earrings? Both. Really depends on the occation, but for everyday I usually wear studs.

Necklaces or bracelets? Necklaces. I have one necklace I use every single day, and I have been since Christmas of 2008 when I got it from my boyfriend. Haven't left my neck since!

Heels or flats? I <3 both! Heels just look smashing!

Cowboy boots or riding boots? neither...

Jacket or hoodie? Does a zipped hoodie go under jacket? Or is jacket outer-wear like a trench-coat?


HAIR

Curly or straight? I'm kind of in the middle. I do like the look of both super straight and really curly hair, but mine is a little straight and a little of a light curl.

Bun or ponytail? A high bun for work and school, it's a little easier just to throw up there. Ponytails look a bit nicer, so if I have to wear my hair up for an event I usually do a ponytail.

Bobby pins or butterfly clips? Bobby pins...

Hair spray or gel? The few times a year I have to use any of the mentioned I'll use hairspray.. Gel just looks greasy in my hair..

Long or short? Long hair :)

Light or dark? I have light-ish hair. It's a light brown, and I'm quite comfortable with it now, even though it would be fun to have super-bright hair some time too!

Side sweep bangs or full bangs? I have had both, but as off now I perfer side swept bangs. Full bangs are so warm!

Up or down? Half'n'half, haha


RANDOM

Rain or shine? Sunshine! Who would pick rain anyways?

Summer or winter? Summer! I'd much rather be to warm in +25 (the few times Norway has that kind of high temperature than be super cold at a -25-30 degrees which happends every winter here!)

Fall or spring? Spring! I love seeing the flowers blooming and the birds singing!

Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate! I'm a choco-holic!


15 Weird Facts

What's a weird habit of yours? Uhm... I don't really thing I have any super-wierd habits? I talk very much and very quickly, but I don't think that's too wierd? Except when my step-mom doesn't understand what I'm saying because I talk to fast, haha!

Do you have any weird phobias? Nope, I don't think so? 

What's a song you secretly love to blast and belt out when you're alone? Random child-songs like the pokemon-intro ! (L)

What's one of your biggest pet peeves? Ugh.. Tough question! Probbly when someone starts to poke you for no reason like my boyfriend tends to do. He does things just to tick me off! Super annoying and it makes me want to kill someone!

What's one of your nervous habits? I bite my nails.. Gross!

Do you have any weird body skills? I can move my ears, move a muscle in my eye so you can see the inner corner moving, and make my fingers look like a wave-thing. If I remember I'll show it in a youtube-video some time and put it in below!

What's your favorite comfort food that's 'bad', but you love to eat it anyways? Chocolate, chips with dip, licorice, I LOVE licorice! Anything, basically!

What's a phrase or exclamation you always say? I have no idea, haha! If anybody who knows me reads this, let me know, haha!
