This weekend I am very lucky to be having a mini break to the Seaside, so I thought I would take this opportunity to show you what I am taking with me. Considering I am currently listening to the Frozen Soundtrack (which is not very summery), I am so excited to have fun in the sun this weekend.
As I am only going away for two days, I am not going to be needing very much so I have gone through my make up collection to decide what I am going to need. This is what I have gotten it down to.
You may have seen me using this in previous blog posts, but this is my Cath Kidston oil cloth storage bag. I wont go into to much detail as I have talked about it before, but I really love this bag. It fits everything in, is easy to clean and to carry around. Also it's really on trend with it's floral print and double sided pockets. I think this bag is really good value for money and I use it all the time to store my make up/hair accessories. I will also be using my Cath Kidston solider purse bag to be storing my smaller make up bits and to carry in my hand bag.
I will be spending the weekend with my boyfriend and do not plan on wearing much make up. I like to be as make up free as I can so I do not spend my weekend re-applying it throughout the day. I have packed some basic essentials so that I can quickly apply my make up with no fuss. I definatley do not plan on wearing any foundation this weekend, but I thought I was best to pack some in case I have a bad skin day or go out on the evening. I have packed my "ELF Tinted Moisturizer" for day time wear as not only does it have SPF 20 but it's low key and just gives me a slight glow. This is the kind of thing I like to apply to give my face a bit of colour. It's easy to apply and small enough to carry around in a small day time handbag. The other foundation I will be taking with me is the "Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation" in the colour Ivory. I like this foundation for more of an evening colour. Considering it's the lightest colour they make of this foundation, I like it because it's a bit darker for my skin which gives me more of an evening glow without looking orange. I will be avoiding wearing foundation but as a go to foundation this is what I will be wearing. It buffs really well into the skin without leaving streaks or stains and it does not take a lifetime to apply. The quicker the better this weekend.
I will only be taking two make up brushes with me as like I said I will avoid wearing much on my face this weekend. The one's I will be taking are the "Real Techniques Expert Face Brush" and the "MAC simply blusher brush". These are to apply my foundation and blusher of course. I am not bothering to take any contouring brushes or concealer brushes as this weekend will all be about the "less is more" vibe. I will also be taking my "Real Techniques Shadow Brush" to apply my eye shadow.
I am taking three lipsticks and one lip-gloss with me for this trip which seems a bit extreme for 2 days but I think you can never carry too many lipsticks at once. All of the lipsticks are peachy pinks which are subtle and easy to wear throughout the day as well as the night. They are all really nice and easy to apply and help jazz up any outfit. I have really colourful clothes to wear over the weekend and I think these colours will really compliment my outfit choices for any occasion.
Excuse the bad quality but this lipstick has been used quite alot. This is the "Collection" lipstick in Perfect Pink which is shade number 2. This lipstick is great for casual and dressy looks so I think with it being so versatile it's a must have in my travel make up bag.
This is my "Natural Collection" lipstick in the shade Candy Mist. I think this a really sweet lipstick as it's very natural and is perfect for wearing in the day time. It's very pale and cute. I really enjoy wearing this on a low key kind of day.
Here is my "MUA" matte lipstick in Peachy Keen. This is the more orange toned lipstick which I love wearing throughout the day. It's slightly different to your average pink shade and it's great for Spring/Summer.
Here are a selection of goodies that I will be taking. These include my "Elf Baked Blush", my "Seventeen" black eyeliner and my "Avon" lipgloss in pink. I think this blusher is a really pretty shimmery shade which is perfect for Spring/Summer. It gives a natural shine to your face and is soft on your skin. It's small and compact so easy to carry around and apply when needed. I think its very natural looking and low maintenance. I actually got this eyeliner in a gift set for Christmas but I really like it. It's chunky so does not require much sharpening and applies to your water lines really easy. I have decided to take this lipgloss with me as I think it jazzes up your lipstick when you wear it over the colour. It's super smooth and leaves your lips feeling soft. It's also nice when you wear it alone and makes it a really nice day time natural look.
The next two products are a must have! My "Urban Decay Naked" Palettes of course. I could not leave these at home! I love both of these palettes as you can mix and match to create your desired look. The Naked 3 is lovely to wear in the day, and the Naked 2 is lovely for the night time. Both are versatile to wear for either which means I have lots of choice for colours to match with my outfits.
I am not going to be using my favourite mascara this weekend. I am going to use my more natural one which is in a "black/brown" shade. The mascara I will be taking is the "Collection Super Size Fat Lash Mascara". I like this because it applies thin and spreads my lashes out evenly. It's not thick and hard to apply.
Next thing on my list to take is my "Katy Perry Oh Honey Eyelashes". I take these everywhere with me as you never know when you will want them. They really widen my eyes and make me feel nice so I will enjoy wearing these at some point over the weekend. I have lots of experience when it come's to applying false eyelashes and sometimes think that these are easier to apply these then fiddling with mascara. The glue is also very strong meaning I would wear them from day to night.
I will be taking my essential eye lash curlers with me also to give me fuller looking lashes. These were from Primark for £1 and have lasted me at least a year. They curl your lashes so good that they look naturally curly and open your eyes up.
So once I've worn all this makeup, how am I going to take it off? My "Johnsons Face wipes" of course. These are my all time favourite face wipes as they leave my face feeling soft, refreshed and really clean. They take off make up so quickly and do not dry out causing my eyes to feel sore after wards like some face wipes do.
So that's all I will be taking with me this weekend. Does it seem alot? or not enough? Let me know what you think in the comments below and be sure to share my blog post to your friends. Use this blog as inspiration for you and your next traveling session.
