What To Pack - Travel Makeup

Since im packing.. i thought i might as well show you what i'm bringing along with me makeup wise :) First off, i am super lovinggg my new makeup bag that i purchased from H&M. I love it so much that i even got another one in grey and pink! The outside of the bag is plastic so it is waterproof and it can hold a tonnnn of stuff! (i think this was around $5 CAD?)

note - my all time favourite products are in purple!


outside of the bag

inside the bag - one side has two pockets

inside the bag - other side has one big pocket

zipper goes all the way down on both sides, plus the bag expands allowing it to carry alot!

not even halfway full!

Anyways, onto my makeup products! first off is face products. Im bringing two foundations because i normally like to switch on and off. The missha one has very high spf protection while the revlon has better coverage.

Revlon photoready foundation in nude - gives good coverage & dewy look
Missha perfect cover bb cream - has spf 42 which is a must!
Monistat anti-chafing powder gel - my favourite, cheap primer!
thebalm time balm concealer in light/medium
Rimmel stay matte powder - no more oily tzone!
Rimmel natural bronzer - very subtle bronzer, good for all over face

Eye products - lots of waterproof stuff here!
MAC Paint pot in painterly
Stila smdugepot in Bronze - i love this! once its on it doesnt budge!!
Maybelline gel liner in black - Waterproof
Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof
Avon glimmerstick in blackest black
Sephora flashy liner waterproof in flashy blue
Stila kajal eye liner in tigers eye
Candy shop shining auto pencil in pink
Wet n Wild coloricon palette in Vanity
ELF eyebrow kit in dark
Sedona Lace 88 Shimmer palette

all the eyeshadows i'll ever need.. not that i'll be wearing much on the cruise, but if i am, it'd be those bright coral colors for sureee! I also decided to bring along my wnw palette in vanity because it is great for creating a gorgeous gold/bronze look! (i'll be reviewing all my wnw palettes when i come back along with tutorials on how to create looks using them)

and some swatches of eyeliners
out of these, Sephora's and Avons stay and last all day while the other two can sometimes smudge off

And now onto Lip Products and Blushes!

I decided to stick with nudes and pinks because i didnt want to look overdone or anything. I am also bringing along my favourite shimmery nude (but not deathly nude) lipgloss elf's goddess (GORGEOUS), plus a bright pink and a red just in case ;) Blushes wise, im bringing my all time fav - mac hang loose for a light pretty pink, and also bringing stereo rose because corals sound perfect for a cruise :)

Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipglosses in pink pop & life's a peach

Finally, onto brushes!
my two favourite brush brands - ecotools and elf.. yes, all my brushes are drugstore brands!

Ecotools Bronzer Brush
ELF Powder Brush
Quo Bronzing Powder Brush
ELF Contour Brush
ELF Small Angled Brush
ELF Concealer Brush
ELF Eyeshadow C Brush
Ecotools Angled Eyeshadow Brush
Ecotools Crease Brush
Ecotools Lash & Brow Groomer
all packed in my ELF brush holder that came with my 11 piece set

lastly, i know these arent really makeup related, but these products are my must haves! they are great products all year round, but especially good during the summer days..

Herablife Herbal Aloe, Everyday Soothing Gel 
feels sooo good on the skin, great for making your skin super soft & hyrdrated and also great for sunburns! Plus, aloe helps get rid of scars! i have been using this product for i dont know how many years, but its a must have skincare product for me. i dont know why i've never reviewed it yet, but remind me to do so when i come back!

The Body Shop Vitamin C Energising Face Spritz
The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist
these two face sprays make great refreshers during hot summer days. they instantly wake you up and leave your makeup feeling refreshed. Plus, they also smell super goood!!

And thats it! Im probably not going to be wearing too much makeup on the cruise but i wanted to bring enough just in case. (especially since i heard there were TWO formal nights where we get to dress up! yayyy!) For some reason, i always tend to overpack because im the type of girl who always likes to have choices. I change my mind often so i never know what i'm really going to wear until morning of.. lol  Apart from the formal nights, i think most days i'll go with my normal face routine plus waterproof eyeliner & mascara plus either a lipstick or a lipgloss :)

Anyways, I'll be leaving for the airport in about 6 hours, so goodbye everyone for a week or so! I'll be back soon with a giveaway so dont forget to bookmark Pinkbox Makeup and come back to enter!! Take Care!Blogger Templates

oh funnn! :D i hope you have an amazing trip! :D the makeup bag is amazing. you should definately check out H&M if you have one near youu :) i love how its big enough for everything <3
Can you tell me where you got the monistat? I tried looking for it at Walmart in Marlborough and Sunridge Zellers but can't find it!
1 reply · active 760 weeks ago
of course! i got mine at the zellers up north at market mall.. i havent been or checked the zellers at sunridge lately, but if you're ever up here in the north, try the one at market mall. Orrr, if you want to give sunridge another try, try looking around the bandaid section. its usually not in the makeup section but instead, in the pharmacy side.. :) hope this helps! worst case, (if you're not too embarrassed) .. ask someone at the store to help you find it hehe :p
