Road trip skincare and makeup bag

starting this Friday, I’ll be on a road trip!  We’ll be heading to northern parts of our province, also known as “cottage country” (don’t let the word “cottage” deceive you, they have multi-million dollar homes that are owned by Hollywood celebs), and then heading to Ottawa.  We’ll be staying mostly at Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs) which are essentially rooms or a portion of someone’s house. They’re a lot more homey than hotels – and normally the breakfasts (included) are amazing!  We won’t exactly be roughing it, but I will be fairly low-key in terms of clothes and makeup.  I always ask myself 3 questions when packing makeup for a trip:

Do I really need it?

Is it the smallest / a lot of compact item I own of that product category?

Would I be devastated if I lost it or it got broken during the trip?

Keeping these in mind, here is what I’m packing for our 9-day trip.

I usually carry my makeup roll for the cosmetic items and a separate bag for skincare.  The makeup roll was a gwp from Smashbox, and the cute travel bag is from Consonant Skincare.

Hudvård:
I know a lot of “what’s in my travel bag” articles feature makeup, but for me, skincare is a lot more important.  I don’t skimp or skip steps on skincare on vacation! That’s why I hoard gwp sizes of my much-loved products so that I can bring them with me when I travel.

• Shiseido The Skincare instant Eye and Lip makeup remover – gwp size
• Vichy Calming Cleansing Micellar option – gwp size
• Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 balancing softener – gwp size
• The face shop THE therapy vital formula emulsion and Secret-Made Anti-Aging cream – gwp sizes – I’ve been trying these for a couple of weeks prior to the trip to make sure my skin gets on with them and so far so good – I’ll be doing a review soon (Pro-tip: avoid trying out new skincare / makeup while on vacation! You never know if it’s going to disagree with your skin.)
• Kiehl’s Midnight recovery Eye cream
• Shiseido Sun protection Eye cream SPF 32 PA+++
• MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ – travel size

• Consonant Skincare The best Sunscreen – picked up the travel size version just for this trip! (shown above with the corresponding full size bottles for scale)
• Consonant Skincare natural Foaming face wash – travel size
• MAC Cleanse Off Oil – I decant from my full sized bottle to the travel size one, which I’m reusing

• Facial cottons: Shiseido Facial Cotton, Delon+ cotton rounds, and Up&Up exfoliating cotton rounds – all the essentials!

Smink:

I try not to pack liquid foundation on holiday so I rely on powders and creams.

• MAC Matchmaker Concealer in #1 – I will just use generally under eyes, around my nose and on my chin
• Maybelline dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Buff 340
• Shiseido Sun protection Compact foundation SPF35 in SP30 – this powder has light coverage and supplies added sun protection, it’s a bit orange on me but on holiday I don’t mind the “bronzed” look.  I’ll also use this as my transition eye shadow shade to blend
• Marcelle BB Cream-to-Powder Compact in Light to medium – I debated whether to bring this or not but it’s a 4g travel size so it’s tiny, and it’s a terrific no-makeup makeup that can be applied with just my fingers

• NYX Power blush in Angel – it was tough to narrow down which blush to bring but I wanted something understated and Angel is absolutely that
• Clinique Chubby Stick shadow Tint For Eyes in 04 Ample Amber – this will be my shadow base or I can wear it alone
• Lancôme color design Eye shadow in impress – best bronze shade for a single colour eye look
• CoverGirl LashBlast volume Blasting Mascara

• Make Up forever Aqua Eyes pencil in 24L Taupe – I found this pencil sharpener topper in a stationary shop and it’s perfect to bring, in case I need to sharpen the pencils while on vacation.
• Shu Uemura H9 hard Brow Pencil in seal Brown
• Not shown: Dr. Hauschka Lip care Stick

Brushes and accessories:

• bdellium tools #755 Smudger, #776T Blending and #964T AP Blusher brushes – these have shorter handles and are part of the Travel Mineral 10pc. brush Set
• The Body shop kabuki – you know I love my kabukis!  This has its own little carrying case.
• Shishida Seishindo metallic Mascara Comb
• Travel eyelash curler – I don’t know what random brand this is, the label has mostly rubbed off but it’s my much-loved for travel
• Anna Sui Eye-brow brush 1 (brow spoolie)

Hair & Body:

• Curl Keeper original – decanted this into a travel-size bottle (full size shown in photo for scale)
• Tresemme Tres two Ultra fine mist hair spray – travel size can
• COLAB extreme volume dry Shampoo in London – travel size can
• various shampoo, shower gel, body lotion – these are from other hotel stays which I’ll be re-purposing for our B&B stays. I’m not sure if the B&Bs will supply toiletries like normal hotels do (I think they will?), but just in case.  I highly doubt these little bottles will last us the full trip but we’ll be staying in aKorrekt hotell i Ottawa så vi måste vara ok.
• Ej visad: Deodorant och en provstorlek av Chloe parfym

Vad packar du i din rese makeup väska?

Eftersom vi kommer att vara på vägen för ganska lite – vi tänker på att ladda ner några podcaster för att lyssna på – finns det något som du skulle rekommendera?

Vad jag tar med till Japan (rese hudvård) medan jag tenderar att packa ljus för min smink, jag skummar inte när det gäller hudvård när jag reser. Jag är snabbare i min hudvårdsrutin och jag håller fortfarande separata produkter för dag och natt. Det är därför det är viktigt för mig att hämta resor storlekar på min …
