What's In My Travel Makeup Bag & Other Travel Bits

I'm heading off to Sydney for three days to see Rihanna and while I was packing my travel things my brother said "you should blog about this" and I realised that I should! So thankyou to my brother for encouraging me and helping me to blog! Anyway... I'm flying from Melbourne to Sydney with no carry on baggage so hopefully that puts into context what I've packed and how much I've packed!

Firstly when packing all my liquid type products such as moisturizers and hair bits I always put them into these zip lock bags which you can get from the supermarket for really cheap and they come in all different sizes. These are great because they prevent any accidents from happening when your bags is in transit. If anything is going to explode whilst on the plane these things contain the mess. I also highly recommend putting makeup wipes if your bringing any in one of these bags as the moisture tends to get sucked out of them otherwise.

Bottom Row: Batiste Dry Shampoo, Palmers Cocoa Butter, Dr Lewins Daily Moisturiser, Dr Lewins Foaming Cleanser

When it comes to traveling especially for such a short time the smaller the items the better, I find that its best to save all my mini samples of stuff for when I travel as its the perfect opportunity to use them up plus they are usually smaller sizes so they don't take up too much room! I've got the basics here, moisturizer shampoo and condition and dry shampoo as I don't feel I need to bring my entire skin care routine for 3 days away.

As far as makeup goes I'm brining as little as possible! All of it fits into my little dior case except my naked palette which is perfect as it opens up allowing you to see literally everything thats inside without having to rifle around in it searching for your eyeliner.

I'm pretty much bringing my standard face, however I'm switching out my daily foundation for my Nars which has more coverage to it as i'm only planning on wearing foundation to the concert and concealer and sunscreen for the rest of the trip. I've also packed a waterproof mascara as the weather is fingers crossed going to be beautiful and we plan on hitting up the beach as much as possible while we're there! Also, after much deliberation I chose the original Naked Palette, it was a toss up between this and the second one but I just feel I use the first one so much more and so its coming with me! 

 As for brushes I've just got my standard ones, two eye brushes, my foundation brush, a blush brush and a bronzer brush and my kabuki!

And last but not least...I have to bring my RiRi Woo Lipstick!! I will be wearing this proudly to the concert and I am not ashamed of it!

So thats whats in my travel makeup bag!! Hope you enjoyed!
