I'm going off to Toronto in a few hours, and i'll be there until monday late afternoon. And while I'm there, I'll be doing some public speaking and all that jazz, so this is my "I want to look professional and alive" makeup!!
This is my travel makeup bag!! It's just a basic two story bag!! I like this bag, because it's big enough to fit my Z pallet, and it fits everything I need in it, it also has the top zippered part for my brushes to be safe and not all bent and beaten up!!
These are my face brushes I use every day, From left to right, we have a Buffing Brush for my foundation, a angled cheek brush for bronzer, a small flat foundation brush I use to pat out my under eye concealer, a fluffy blush brush, and a big powder brush!
These are my every day eye brushes!! From left to right: A angled fluffy for setting my eye primer/highlighting my brow bone, a fluffy blending brush, a smaller eye lid brush for the inner corner, a thin pencil brush for work on my hood, a bigger eye lid brush for my outer eye lid, an angled brow brush, and a spoolie!
I always keep cotton swabs in my travel makeup bag (i'm known to cough or sneeze while my mascara or liner is drying it's TRAGIC) I ALWAYS keep hand sanitizer with me every where, and my makeup bag is no exception! I have long, long hair. I keep 2 hair ties on my wrist every day, and I have at least two in every bag!!
Moving onto makeup! These are my tried and true primers. I use the elf green primer on my cheeks and on the edges of my nose to correct redness, then I pat the Makeup Forever mattifying primer onto my forehead, between the brows, nose, chin, and smile lines. I usually apply my eye primer while I do my face primer. So I'll squeeze out a small amount of Too Face Shadow Insurance and pat that onto my lids!
Here is my base products! I'm testing out the Maybelline Fit Me foundation stick, and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I'm bringing my tried and true Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+ Foundation. It oxidizes to a more orangey shade on me, but with blending it down my neck, and the way I keep my hair, its not noticeable. But I always mention that just in case! Then we have my favourite concealers! Maybelline Fit me, which I love for my cheeks. And Hard Candy Glamoflauge, which I use a PIN HEAD amount of to cover BOTH undereyes. Then we have my Sephora brand Matte Perfection Powder foundation, which I use to set my whole face!
This is my Z pallet, I'v recently spoken about this. So I wont get too in depth. But after setting my face, I'd go in with one of the blushes in here, and the highlights. I also go in and do eye shadow after I do my blush and highlighting!!
Next we have my two current mascaras! I'm using the Revlon one on my upper lashes, and the Makeup Forever one on my lower lashes! They both give me the drama I love, and neither smudge or flake!
This isn't anything special, y'all know my brow routine already. But I have my Essence Make me brow, and my Annabelle brow to go kit. Also, just in case because I'm wearing matte lipsticks, I threw in ELF lip exfoliator!
Lastly, we have the lip products i'm bringing!! I'm bringing my mint Jack Black lip balm, MAC Rebel, A Joe Fresh Lip gloss in Wine (It's a sheer tint!! Not super vampy at all!) Maybelline Colour blur in Plum me? I think that's the name. And LUSH's Santa baby which is my all time favourite lipstick!
That's all that's in my travel makeup bag for this weekend!! What do you think?

What's in my travel toiletries bag!
Good morning!!
As you all know,
1. I am very high maintenance.
2. I travel quite a bit.
I do a lot of over night trips with the different groups and committees i'm on, and just with visiting family!! So I ALWAYS keep a bag of over night toiletries packed into a bag, so if I have to pack last minute (Like I'm doing right now!) I can just grab the bag and toss it into my over night back pack!!
This is my bag! I wont it in a raffle last year. It's just a basic white zipper bag!!
This is the bag un-zipped and open!! It's clearly loaded, because as I said I am high maintenance and I'm very paranoid!
This is my facial skin care stuff!! I have makeup removing wipes, a gentle Cetapil cleanser, a heavier night cream/lotion, a mattifying super light day time lotion. And a tube of Jack Black Shea Lip balm!
This is my hair care stuff! I don't wash my hair every day, as my hair is curly, and very dry! So I have a sea salt spray to refresh my curls after I have slept on them. I have a mini dry shampoo to keep my hair looking fresh. a mini shampoo and conditioner set. a no frizz hair serum because my hair is FRIZZY. A travel sized hair brush, with a compartment to hold hair ties. It currently has three hair ties in there! And a moisturizing hair butter!
I have curly dry hair as I said, so I like to apply oils, or hair butters every day to keep my hair soft and shiny!!
This is shower-y stuff!! I have a deodorant, a Living proof hair primer sample packet, a argan oil sample packet, a body lotion sample packet, 4 packets of my holy grail exfoliator, and a one time use eye makeup remover towelette from Sephora! Lastly, I have a metal LUSH tin, and it has a chunk of Honey I washed the kids soap, Sexy Peal soap, a LE halloween soap chunk, a minty blue soap sample chunk, and a chunk of a solid face wash!!
This is the odds and ends. I have a nail clipper, my current nail polish (I'm going away for the weekend this week, and I am public speaking, and I feel more confident with my nails painted!) for touchups, a clear coat, tweezers, body lotion, and a sample of a perfume I like!!
That's what's in my travel toiletries bag!! I am aware that this is a lot. But It works for me, and I'v never had a problem with this!!
