My holiday makeup shame!!

Hey Ladies,

I thought i'd share my shame with you of how much crap I take on holiday with me. Basically i have loads of summer stuff already in Spain so only take carry on luggage, it means the flights cheaper, you can turn up to the airport later & dont have to wait around when you get there to get going & start on the funsies! The only down size is you cant take much & all the liquids have to be under 100mls i think!& have to fit in those sandwich bags, if i manage to fit everything in the plastic bag this time i'm officially a ninza packer like people say i am!

So heres the makeup & skin care i take out!! ... i'm ashamed

Everything!!



My emergency skin care kit!! ala Bubblegarm!!



Basically, my philosophy cleanser & garnier cleanser & toner, mattifying moisturizer, philosophy moisurizer & some mac eye cream & a few other bits & bobs! (they're in my dermalogica bottles, such a good use of them when you finish with them)

Eye shadows



Always take stuff in 5g jars! saves so much space
Painterly & rubenesque paintpot, a couple of pressed pigments in naked & teal, juxt, newly minted & black tied & an elizabeth arden pallette

Mascaras & eyeliners



A water proof one - loreal telescopic & then my badgal lash & mac pro lash. Then my elizabeth arden eyeliner & a fake mac pencil liner i got sent in an ebay order of lashes ages ago!

Lip stuff



Lip brush (i use it for paintpots so should be with them) natural collection lipstick, chanel gloss, loreal lipstick & body shop lip butter! (sorry kass :p)

Face stuff


Concealers, blush, bronzes, contour duo & a really dark foundation & my normal foundation (so i can mix to what ever colour i turn in the sun) & mini estee lauder primer

Highlighters (can u tell they're my favorite)


Benefit high beam & ooh la la, couple of mac cream colour bases, a bobbi brown pot rouge & a stackable jar thing with my eyeko bronzing cream & highlighter cream.

Brows



Elf brow & lash clear gloss, elf tweezers (amazing by the way ladies) & vital radiance brow duo

Brushes


No idea why i'm taking so many but hey you never know, i may get caught up in a photo shoot & they need someone to help! i'm prepared!

So theres my shame for you all to see, i wont use half of it but since i'll be having nights out i may use some of it & variety is the spice of life so i can chop & change when the mood suits me!!

Any way i'll probably be gone for a couple of weeks so if i dont update this i do apologize, i'm flying out in the morning so have to get up at 4 in the morning & plan to go wild at duty free!!

I hope you all have a lovely couple of weeks & give me lots of blog posts & youtube vids to come back to!! & stay safe i will worry! i'm really gonna miss everyone on twitter that i interact with everyday, you'll all have new obsessions that i dont know about!! i'll need a week to catch up on everything! i will still have the internet in spain up until the 15th but wont be on it all day like now, but after the 15th it'll be an internet blackout! i'm dreading the number of emails i'll come back to!!

I'll cya in a couple of weeks, take care of yourselves & dont have too much fun without me

Nicola

    You will be ok packing any sizes in your suitcase, it's just hand luggage that has to be under 100ml.
