In My Travel Make Up Bag - Week 1

As you may know, I am currently in Melbourne for work training. The training is two weeks in length but work only pays for accommodation during the week. I therefore spend 5 nights in the city, 2 nights back home and then 5 nights in the city again. A busy fortnight!

I am currently really tired and I apologise for the lack of posts recently (again). Training is tiring and so is the shopping I do after training. The training is on Collins St and I am staying at the Citigate Melbourne on Flinders St so I am in walking distance to Myer & David Jones on Bourke St. I can say I have already visited a couple of times.

So I thought before I share my new purchases with you, I would show you what items I bought with me. Honestly when I packed, the first thing I packed was make up and skincare. I had my priorities correct! I am not going into a lot of details on the products - I am too sleepy! Let me know if you want any reviews..

Base Products:

For me when I am away for a few nights I have to pack more than one foundation - I like a lighter coverage as well as a fuller coverage one. Primers, powder and concealers are a must have too.

• Benefit The Porefessional 
• Dior Diorskin Nude Skin-Glowing Make Up
• Laura Mercier Hydrating Foundation Primer
• Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
• Bobbi Brown Corrector
• Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit

Cheek Products:

After lipstick, blush is the next hardest product for me to chose each morning. I love having a choice of pretty colours, textures and finishes.

• Nars Powder Blush in Deep Throat
• Guerlain Blush Duo in 01 Peach Boy
• MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink
• Illamasqua Powder Blush in Naked Rose
• Stila Convertible Colour in Gerbera

Eye Products:

Until recently eye make up wasn't a must have for me. I have really fallen in love with adding that extra definition to my eyes. I like to haves lots of choices though...

Lip Products:

You should definetely know that I have a lipstick obsession! I couldn't go away for 5 days without a few choices (ignore the fact I have purchased over 10 lipsticks since getting to Melbourne). 

• Buxom Lip Cream in Creamsicle
• MAC Lipstick in

Moral of the story? I do not pack light! 

How much make up do you pack when you travel?
