Travel Tips part 3- MAKEUP

Okay Beauties,
So i have left the hardest section of all Make-Up. For anyone who has had to pack and can't decide on what to take i'm sure you can feel my pain right now. 
This has taken over a week to pick what i needed and wanted. 
I know i'm going to be stocking up as everyone said i will. But out of the whole 2 weeks i have 3 shopping days. I know i'm not going to need half the stuff i take. But hey we are beauty lovers and we need our makeup more then clothes or shoes. Well thats how i feel :)




I have taken a mini size mascara. I have so many from GWP and free samples. Im sure if you go to any beauty counter and ask for a sample they will give you one. (thats if they beauty adviser are nice and not rude).


To save space on both my Foundations Day and Night i have De-poted them into small jars :) Of course priceline sell these for around $5.


As its summer time over the i have picked out all summer colours like Pink, Peaches and Corals also added a red Lipstick. :D


The UD naked palette is perfect for travel as you can do so many looks with just the one palette. You can also go from day to night. 


Okay so here it goes This is what I'm taking along with me 




Face Products Including my MAC and Clinique Foundations.

 


Eye Products.


Blushes.


Lip Products. I love my lipsticks.


Brushes
  • I forgot to add a MSF 

Have a great Friday Night :)

Travel Tips Part 2- Hair Care

Happy weekend Beauties,


                                    Here is part 2 of my Travel Tips. I have downsized on everything from Toothpaste  to Moroccan oil :D. Places like Target, Big W, K-Mart and Priceline now carry mini size products just for your travel needs also easy for your handbag.

As you know hotels have Hair dryers so i don't need to take one Thank god. But i'm Take my GHD straighter. I just hope it works as last time my old Hair Straighter never worked :( so i went 3 weeks without one. (never thought to buy one lol ) 













From Priceline I picked up a pack of 3 empty Bottles for my Shampoo, Conditioner and colour Shampoo. Im not 100% sure on the price but it was around $6 for the set. This is also great for Body Moisturiser, Sunscreen and cleanser if you don't have any mini size products and want to de-pot your products.





Hair Spray: I received this hair spray form a l'oreal Fashion Festival. But Priceline have this on special for $3.99 For 75ml. But i'm pretty sure you can pick up cheaper ones.






Heat Protector: I picked this up from Aldi but i have seen this at Coles. Its the Toni and Guy Iron-it Heat Defence Spray 50ml. Im not 100% sure on the price i'm thinking around $3.


Moroccan Oil: I in love with this brand. I cant live without. I can do a review if anyone is interested. But i picked up the 25ml just to trial it out and see if i liked it. So when i picked up the full size i kept the 25ml bottle just in case i needed it. I did :) i just filled it up from my bigger bottle.








Hair Ties and Bobby Pins: I picked up a back of 20 hair ties and 50 bobby pins as i needed some anyway. But was surprised me was when i opened the packets the are in a small zip lock pocket :) PERFECT. 






As for my hair brush i could get a small brush but because i have suck long thick hair. I need my big brush. But you can always pick up a small brush or one of the ones that fold up. That also contains a      mirror. 


I hope i could help you in the Hair Care area. 
Part 3 will be the hardest of them all Make-Up


Have a great saturday night Beauties.

Travel Tips Part 1- Skin Care

Hey Beauties,

                      As most of you know im off to the USA in only 10 days. One of the main reasons is to shop i know sounds stupid. But i have been saving for 9 months :D.
So i thought i would do a a few blog post of my travel tips. Now most of my tips is how to pack light and not take full size products.

Ill share with you some of my tips then photos of how I have packed my items.

  • Always go into Myer or David Jones and see if they can give you samples of you favourite skin care and purfume.
  • Some times both Myer and David Jones hand out deluxe samples (Around 2 weeks supply) this is perfect for your holiday.
  • GWP if you know your going away alwasy keep your GWP most include eyemakeup removal, foundation and skin care all deluxe samples.
  • Never throw away any samples as you may need them for when you go away. I found so many items i never knew i had and is pefect for me.
  • Always try and take small items and not your normal size producst.
  • You can always go into Priceline or Target and get pots, jars and bottles if you want to de-pot any items  (as you will see in some of my pictures)

 Ill be taking away my Clarsoinc Mia as both john and I use it on a daily basis and i know my skin will hate me if i dont take it. (Im trying to make john buy me a leopard print as he uses mine twice a day)











Cleanser: Now im not 100% sure what one to take. As my sample size Shu Uemura may last me over a week. But i have been thinking ill be buying cleansers over there so i may as well take the smaller one :D











Eye Makeup remover:  For some reason i had 3 of these i think i recieved them from fellow beauty lovers while doing swaps. So i used my other 2 (best remover ever) and kept this one.  Its 30ml and will last me my whole trip. You can also get these with Lancomes GWP.









Toner: Ill be using my Clinique Toner 15ml that i recived as Deluxe sample from Myer. This was part of a 2 week sample supply. I do have a much bigger one but i don't want to be lugging that around with me.










Moisturizer: I use Kiehl's as my moisturizer. But to save in size i brought a set of pots from Manicare for around $5. I used both pots one for my bag (just in case) and the other for my suitecase.




As a gift from a very good beauty friend of mine Jo (as she knew i was going away) i recieved a swisspers travel kit that included
  • 20 Round make-up pads 
  • 20 Cotton tips
  • 5 Cucumber Facial Cleansing Wipes
  • 5 Facial Wips
This is perfect as ill use them all up and then use the bag for makeup for when i stock up.






And last but not least last week while i was in Target i picked up some SkinVitals facial masks. They where on sale for $1.88 each. As some on you know while up in the air you'r skin can become dry. So while everyone is sleeping ill pop this on :)










I hope you having a great week Beauties. I also hope this can help you. Part 2 will be Hair Care :)
