Sorry it's been so long since my last post! It's been very hectic this past week! I was in Vegas for four days and after that I had to pack for Taiwan! Now I'm blogging from Taiwan! Whee! Haha, anyway on to the post!
Normally when I travel, I like to bring a small arsenal of products but it's always so hard to pick exactly what I want! At the same time, depending on where I'm going, I don't want to overpack just in case I decide to haul some items where I'm at! But I usually end up overpacking anyway, lol.
I'm going to split this post into two sections: Skincare and Makeup. I will also be doing a separate post on In-Flight Skincare Routine since flying wreaks havoc on our skin!
On to the skincare section!
I brought the following items and split them into when I normally use them:
Morning Cure Natural Aqua Gel* Bioderma Sensibio H20 Hadalabo Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion*
Night Aveeno Positively Radiant Brightening Cleanser* Bioderma Sensibio H20* Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil* C.O. Bigelow Power Berry Mask The Face Shop Raspberry Roots Sleeping Mask Mamonde Gold Honey Pack Kose Sekkisei Brightening Mask Laneige Water Sleeping Pack Naruko Tea Tree Night Gelly* Kiehl's Cryste Marine Eye Cream* Lu-Miel BF3 Mask SexyLook Black Pearl Mask My Beauty Diary Bulgarian White Rose Mask My Beauty Diary Q10 Rejuvenating Mask My Beauty Diary Black Pearl Mask
As you can see, masks are really important in my skincare routine mostly because they provide the extra moisture my skin usually needs! I don't use all of them every night but I do use the Naruko Night Gelly religiously because it really helps control oil production for my skin plus if I have little pimples, the tea tree oil ingredient dries it out!
All of the starred items in the above list are the items that I haven't changed in the past year or so. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these items and usually don't switch these products out of my skincare routine regardless of season. Sometimes I'll try new products but for the most part, I stick to these products religiously. The Softymo Deep Cleansing Oil has been a part of my skincare routine since 2008! I discovered it in Japan and have kept using it ever since!
I will more than likely be doing separate reviews on some of the products I listed above so be on the lookout for them! Let me know if there are any products that you want specific reviews on! I'm always free to do those :)
Now for the makeup section!
I don't tend to overpack for this section mostly because I have a set routine in regards to makeup looks unless I'm specifically packing for an event that requires different makeup. For Taiwan specifically, I like to pack light makeup mostly because the makeup would slide off my face by the end of the day anyway! So the idea is to make it look less horrifying at the end of the day, lol.
Here's the list: Urban Decay Naked Palette Victoria Secret The Nakeds Eye Kit* Nars Blush in Orgasm and Deep Throat MAC Fix+ Spray* Urban Decay All Nighter Spray Paul & Joe Under-Eye Concealer in 01 Paul & Joe Pressed Powder Duo in 01 Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent* DUP Clear Eyelash Glue* DUP Wonder Eyelid Tape Extra FairyDrops Scandal Queen Mascara Majolica Majorca Lash King Mascara Missha Auto Eyebrow Pencil* Clio Gelpresso Eyeliner Heroine Make Liquid Eyeliner Lashes #720, #728, #704 Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler* Loreal Magic BB Maybelline Fresh BB
As you can see, I only brought neutral palettes with me mostly because I don't do bright eyeshadows when visiting family. I do sometimes like to bring small palettes with bright colors in them if I foresee going out at night. I didn't bring any foundation with me on this trip and wanted to keep the coverage light in case my makeup can't hold during the day.
The starred items are ones that I have been using religiously for a while. I like all of the items I bring with me but sometimes I like to bring items I am testing at the moment such as the BB creams from Loreal and Maybelline.
Pretty excited for the rest of my trip! I'll also be posting a personal blogpost when I get back from Taiwan about my trip here! I would do an update halfway through my trip but pictures are practically impossible to upload here! The internet is horrendously slow but I digress. Let me know if you have any questions!
What products do you usually bring with you on trips?
