Heading away for a top notch weekend with family and
friends, and decided to share what I’m taking along with me! Bioderma Crealine H2O* is a no brainer,
and this travel sized bottle is perfect for packing away for times like this.
I’ll be ‘freshening up’ before the evening events kick off on Friday and
Saturday, so having this to give myself a clean canvas to work with is a must. Maybelline’s Dream Matte powder (not pictured, is in my handbag) will be on me
at all times, to keep shine at bay and ensure any photos don’t see me appearing
as shiny as a new dollar. The new Kiehls
Aromatics range in Orange Flower
& Lychee is coming with me (lotion & body cleanser*) as I love
trying out new scents while staying somewhere new. I have a thing for sheer
reds and lip crayons, so naturally a few from each category snuck their way
into the makeup bag as well.
The usual skincare suspects are coming along for the weekend,
as well as some Laura Mercier loves that I can’t stop using. My Clinique
Superbalanced bronzer* is a definite favourite to make me look awake when I’m
feeling less than perky (planning on some ciders over the weekend, obviously!)
and so will my YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat*. I’ve planned my outfits pretty
thoroughly and know what lipsticks will suit the looks, so bright pinks and
oranges are a must! I didn’t have enough time to really try on all the shades
with the looks, so threw a heap from each category in there to choose from on
the day. Serial overpacker, but we’re going up on a big bus with lots of room
for luggage so I don’t mind!
If you spot any products you’d like a review of or have any
makeup look ideas you want me to try, please drop a comment below and let me
know!
Do you have any tips on packing? Do you overpack, underpack,
or hit it out of the park every time?
*Marked items were provided for consideration, which wasn’t
a factor in them being thrown into my makeup bag. Honesty, always.
