What's in my travel make up bag

To make the most of the August bank holiday weekend, me and my boyfriend decided to spend a few days exploring other parts of the UK, namely Bath and Bristol.

Normally I'm a huge overpacker, but conscious of the big gap between arriving in the city and checking into our hotel, I tried to pack only what was really needed and I'm pleased to say I got it just right on this occasion!

Face
Madara tinting fluid (not pictured)- My go to base this summer (click here to read my full review).

Garnier anti dark circle roll on- A sheer coverage concealer that helps to disguise the appearance of dark circles and red patches.

Urban decay finishing powder- A transclucent powder that helps to mattify my face and can be topped up during the day without looking cakey.

Maybelline dream mousse blush in peach satin - A gorgeous peachy pink shade. It does need reapplying during the day, but it has a subtle shimmer so there's no need for highlighter.

Eyes
Sleek make up au naturel palette- A versatile palette with plenty of matte and shimmery shades. I especially liked Nubuck, Taupe and Bark.

Avon supershock gel eyeliner- A long lasting pigmented eyeliner, the only downside is that it needs regular sharpening.

No 7 lash adapt mascara- Great for adding some daytime length and volume. Long lasting too.

Clinique bottom lash mascara- This has a tiny 1cm brush so perfect for those bottom lashes. 100% smudge-proof too.

Lips
Maxfactor Max effect lip gloss in sweet red- A beautiful pinky red lipgloss that's great for adding a hit of colour to the lips.

Tools- The Body Shop face and body brush, Cosmetics A La Carte eyelash curlers and a disposable mascara wand.

Have you ever been to Bath or Bristol? What's usually in your travel make up bag?

  6. Yu - Thanks, it really is a beautiful city x

    Elle Marie - Sure, this week is rather hectic for me, but will try and get one up asap x

    RIA - I thought it was a beautiful city full of historic buildings and places of interest. Definitely worth a visit. I'd say the pigmentation was medium- enough to give a decent colour but not so much that it's hard to blend x

    Computergirl - Thank you, it's a lovely place isn't it x

    Dreams That Glitter xoxo - Thanks, it was a lovely weekend away x
