My Travel Makeup: Berlin Edition
Hello Everyone,
Over Easter Holidays we went to Berlin . This was the
most spontaneous trip we have ever planned. It was the weekend before Easter
Holidays that we started looking for options of places we can go to for a mini
vacation. Few hours later and after lot of discussions we
zeroed down on Berlin .
Once the place was decided we started looking for the route, hotels, and
bookings etc. all that stuff. We finalised all those things by Tuesday and we
were leaving on Thursday evening. Not a whole lot of time to think and pack
things.
So I packed stuff that I was currently using
and I know works plus my trusted products. Without any further delay let me tell
you what all stuff I took with me and why?
KIKO Milano Universal
Fit Foundation: It is very light weight and feels very
comfortable on the skin. Very easy to apply and blends easily. I use my fingers
to apply this so no need to carry a brush. Coverage is light but it can be
built up to medium coverage. And it lasted almost all day on me.
NYX Above & Beyond
Full Coverage Concealer in Orange :
It is a must to
colour correct under my eyes. So with out a doubt I took it.
MAC Prolongwear
Concealer: As I
opted for a light coverage foundation I went for MAC prolongwear a heavy duty
concealer. It is very pigmented and covers those dark circles nicely and any
other areas of concern.
Sleek Face Form
Contouring and Blush Palette: A very compact palette with a big mirror which comes very handy while
travelling and this palette is quite a versatile palette. Apart from contouring
and highlighting I used this palette for eye shadows as well.
Maxfactor Crème Puff
Blush in Seductive Pink: One of my favourite blushes. It gives such a pretty flush of colour on
the cheeks and it has slight sheen as well so it provides a highlighting effect
as well.
Essence I Love Stage Eye
shadow Base: I have
very oily eyelids and if want my eye shadow to last I need to use a primer and
I have been using and liking this one from essence. It neutralizes any kind of
darkness on the eyelids plus it makes the eye shadow colour pop.
KIKO Milano Long
Lasting Stick in 05: Love this shade plus eye shadow sticks are so
easy to use and travel with. They work great on their own as an all over lid
colour or as a base for powder shades.
So Susan 8 hour Eye
Shadow Palette: It
is a dinky little palette with neutral shades. Perfect for travelling. You can
create a soft day look with it and if you want you can smoke it out with the
darkest shade in the palette.
L’oreal Super Liner
Silkissime in Brown Temptation: Love how long lasting this eyeliner is and shade is great too. Now I
prefer browns over black for daytime.
KIKO Precision Eyebrow
Pencil in 01: I
love this product and this is the only brow product I have been using for a
while now. Great shade match and the tip
is so fine and precise.
Maxfactor False Lash
Effect Waterproof Mascara: This is new mascara I am trying out and I prefer to travel with
waterproof mascara. And this one doesn’t budge but at the same time is a pain
to take off.
H&M Lush Lip Vinyl
in Tuscan Blush: Another
favourite of mine. Such a pretty shade and goes with every look. Plus it is so
moisturising on the lips and when I travel my lips tends to get dry. So this
kept them looking nice and hydrated.
Retractable Blush
Brush: This stays
permanently in my travel pouch and comes along on all my travels. It’s compact
and easy to carry plus I don’t have to worry about it getting ruined amongst
everything.
Apart from all this stuff I also took few eye
brushes which I packed separately in a pouch to keep them safe and two other
lip products which were in my handbag. I forgot to pack a setting powder but
that was nothing major I survived without it.
Hope you liked this post!!

ReplyDelete@Anamika Debnath: Thanks Anamika.
ReplyDelete@Yiotou_La: Even I like to plan ahead, it really helps. Travelling light seems difficult at times but it so much better and you actually use the stuff you are carrying. Earlier I use to carry so much stuff and didn't even use everything.
ReplyDelete@Lana R: I like the Susan palette and it's perfect for travelling.
ReplyDeleteI like your choice of products <3
