What's in my Travel Makeup Bag - What I'll Actually Take with Me

I know I've kind of done this post before. But then I looked through the stuff I was going to bring and I decided to change it up. Yeah, I know, I'm indecisive. Runs in my family I've heard haha =)

Anyways, now I'm not going to change anything as we leave in two days, so I'm showing you guys my makeup bag! Again... You can read what I was initially taking with me in THIS POST and what my travel palette originally looked like HERE.

I had to upgrade to a slightly bigger makeup bag as I'm not bringing a palette in my handbag like I was thinking about in the beginning. This is by Clarins.

It holds a lot of stuff!

Here are the eyeshadows I'm now bringing! The bottom square eyeshadows are from ArtDeco, the three matte shades to the right are from IsaDora and the rest are ELF Custom Eyes.

ELF Custom Eyes Swatches!
Navy - Sage - Ivory - Wheat
Wisteria - Periwinkle - Driftwood - Aubergine - Moon Dust.

I swear, if ELF had any matte Custom Eyes I could do with just these, but I mean, you need a little matte action as well, right...

On top are the eyeshadows from IsaDora. 
Black from Smokey Eyes palette.
Skintone and Matte Brown from Matte Chocolates palette.
ArtDeco Shadows: 04 - 258 - 527 - 235

Then I'm bringing my ELF St. Lucia Blush/Bronzer Duo as well as the ELF Studio Blush in Peachy Keen.

Peachy Keen - Blush and Bronzer from the Duo.

I felt like I needed a little bit of options so I'm bringing these two blushes instead of the ArtDeco ones from my Travel Palette.

Here are the lipproducts I'm bringing in my makeup bag.
Hawaiian Tropic SPF25 Island Berry Lipgloss
IsaDora Twist-Up Stick - 08 Red Romance
ELF Lipstick - Seductive
MNY by Maybelline - 802A

Swatchtime!
Hawaiian Tropic - IsaDora - ELF - MNY

And here are the dace things I'm bringing! I might leave one of the Tone Correcting Concealers at home as I've decided to bring the Garnier Roll-On.
ELF Tone Correcting Concealer - Ivory & Rosy Beige
ELF Clarifying Pressed Powder - Ivory
Max Factor Miracle Touch Liquid Illusion Foundation - 45 Warm Almond
And the little pot contains a bit of my ELF Mineral Infused Face Primer just in case I feel like wearing a primer if we go out or something.

More eye-stuff! 
ELF Liquid Liner - Black
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Milk
Maybelline ColorSensational Lip Liner - 440 Coral Fire
IsaDora Build-Up Extra Volume Mascara
Me Now Generation II Perfect Eye/Lip Liner Pencil - Green from a set of 12
Lumene Beauty Base Eyeshadow Primer
L'oreal Paris Contour Kohl - Black

Bringing a little sponge and my Beauty Blender.

Then I'm bringing some tools like my H&M Eyelash Curler, ELF Duo Sharpner, tweezers a little spray with some brush cleanser. Also my Eucerin Anti-Redness SPF15 Moisturizer.

That was all! I will stop bothering me with the makeup I'm going to bring haha!

Thanks for reading, guys =)

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!

Lip-product swatches!
MNY - ELF - Maybelline


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.
Me Now Generation II - Me Now Generation II - ELF

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 =)

My Vacation-Palette

On the 17th of July I'm going to Gran Canaria, Spain, and since it's still a month, and I can't wait to go I decided to make the vacation-palette I have had in mind.

For my palette I've used this MAC 15 Pro Palette which I've taken the separator out of so I can fit whatever I want in there.

On the inside I've but blushes, eyeshadows and my powder so I have all my powder-products in the same place. And if you were wondering, I'll have this in my carry-on when we board the plane since I don't want any of this to shatter.

The Powder I'm bringing is by Kubiss Cosmetics, and it's their Face Powder in the shade 1 Translucent. As you can see that thing is huge with 17grams of product!

These eyeshadows are all by ArtDeco, and they are pre-magnetized which is great!
L-R are the colors:
527, 235, 84, 49, 638 and 258.
These eyeshadows are really soft and pigmented, and there's a good variety of colors.

Then I have some more neutral shades, like a matte black and a light matte brown.
L-R, the colors are:
Oriflame Pure Colour Duo Eyeshadow - Harvest Browns 3286
Matte Black from the IsaDora Smokey Eyes Palette
Matte Brown from the IsaDora Matte Chocolates Palette
The white shimmery eyeshadow is from Max Factor, but I don't have the name.

Then I'm bringing this ELF Brightning Eye Color Quad in Drama which has all the colors I need for a nice smokey-eye.

For my blushes I'm bringing these which, again, are my ArtDeco. The top shade is a matte peachy-shade (16) and the other is a light rosy color with a teeny bit of shimmer (24). As the eyeshadows, these have magnets on the bottom. The blushes are alot more pigmented than they seem in the swatches, too!

That was my Vacation-Palette, guys! I'll also do posts on the brushes I'm bringing and the other makeup such as foundation and stuff. I hope you liked this post, and if you did, you can like it on facebook at the top, or follow my blog =)
