Weekend Makeup Bag


This weekend I’m up in Rye on the Mornington Peninsula, celebrating my sixth anniversary with Mister Bovary. I’m pretty excited that this is the last ‘dating’ anniversary before we get married, and we’ve planned to try some new restaurants and head down to Portsea to walk through the Point Nepean National Park. I’m hoping that it doesn’t rain too much during the day so that we can take Charlie for a nice long walk through the hills too, but we’ll have to play that one by ear.

I tried to stay relatively minimal with my beauty considering we’re only away for two nights, but nice breakfast dates and heading out to dinners gave me excuse enough to bring along some of my beloved pink lip products. I bargained with myself, allowing one blush and one eyeshadow palette along in order to make up for the craziness that is my lip stash. I tried to cut down on heavy items too (even though we’re heading up in the car) so I brought some perfume samples and my new YSL mascara sample to play around with. Some of my skincare is mini sized too but I didn’t snap a picture of that bag. I think I'm just gearing up really early for a honeymoon full of mini-sized products - I'm getting so ahead of myself with lots of wedding things still to plan!


I forgot to include my Rimmel matte BB cream in the photos but I popped it in the skincare bag along with the new La Roche-Posay sunscreen I’m trialling (will be important for our walks!) I thought long and hard about which eyeshadow palette to bring with me and ended up with my Too Faced Natural Eye palette, I haven’t used this one very much at all so this will be a nice way to push myself into it (I definitely won’t be using that horrible glittery shade though! Really glad they reshuffled this palette and took out the dud shade, but sad that I already own the old version…)

Hop on over to Instagram if you want to see snaps of my weekend – I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you get up to!

  2. Happy six years! I'm the opposite of you - more blush, less lips. I love packing for trips - it's so much fun to paw through all the things that you have and rediscover old loves. Have a great weekend. :)

  6. Sounds like a wonderful weekend and congrats to the both of you for your anniversary :)
    Really lovely products you brought with you :) I am the same when it comes to lip products, I have friends who can bring 1-2 lip products with them when they go somewhere but I can never do that... I need at least five ;)
    I hope you are having a really love time and that it wont rain :)
    I attended a wedding yesterday and today we are having a major cleaning day in our apartment cause we are getting a new bed tomorrow :)

    1. Thank you so much Anna - I can't even leave the house with makeup options in my bag, it's just how I roll. It rained the whole weekend through though :( When are you and Freddi getting married?
