What's In MyTravel Makeup Bag?

Summer is finally here! Hooray! Which means it is time for travelling and vacations!

I received this train case as a gift and I have been using this every time I am on vacation. It fits nicely into my luggage and it fits all my essentials!

This is what it looks like when I put everything in there. I love that there are two removable compartments. This allow me to utilize it in so many ways. For example, if I want to carry a small makeup bag in my purse, I can use one of these compartments. Or if I have something a bit bigger to fit in the train case, I can remove one compartment. Another great thing about the compartments is that they are made out of clear plastic material, this way it is easy to clean up and I can see what is in the bag clearly. The lid of the train case is designed to carry brushes, how convenient! I just love how I can be really organized with this!

I really like having things organized, so I actually have a system of what goes into each compartment. (I guess this is why I love this makeup train case so much.) Everything is divided into 3 categories, with the obvious brush section on the lid. Then I have one just for face products. The other one is everything else. So let's talk about them section by section.

Before I start, I just want to say that many of these products are my holy grail and I have talked about them in previous posts. Please refer to other posts if you want a review on a particular product or just ask me in the comments section below.

Face Section

1) Benefit Porefessional

2) MUFE Nourishing Primer

3) Maybelline CC Cream

4) Maybelline Cover Stick

5) Rimmel Match Perfect

6) Model Co. Blush in Cosmopolitan: I got this in my Feb 2015 Glam Bag. Cosmopolitan is a ballerina pink color,. It is super pigmented, so I like to use a stipple brush to slowly build the color up. 

7) E.L.F Complexion Powder

8) Bare Minerals Powder Brush: This brush is small but it is very dense, it allows a flawless application. I really like to travel with it to save room.

ETC Section

This compartment consists of eyes related products, lip products, etc.

1)Benefit Naked Basics : MUST HAVE! It's just a perfect every day palette

2) Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye liner

3)Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

4)Eyelash curler: This one is by Emite Make Up, and it was from my February Glam bag as well. I really like this curler. It does not pinch my eye lids and it gives a nice curl easily.

5)Kiehl's Eucalyptus Lip Relief: It is a very hydrating lip balm, since it is meant to be used on a plane. It gives a minty and tingly feeling when you apply them. The feeling and scent lasts pretty long, and I really like it. 

6)Beauty Blender

7)Urban Decay Lipstick: This is a mini size lipstick I got from a Sephora Favorite pack. This is in the shade Naked. It is my perfect pinky nude color that looks very natural on the skin. I can wear this color with any look so I love to bring it around. The formula itself is long lasting and not drying at all!

On a side note, I really think this is a must have for everyday and especially for business formal settings or business trip. 

8)Dior Lip Glow: This is another simple every day color that goes with every look.

9)Boscia Blotting Paper: Boscia carries many different line/ scent of blotting paper. The one I have in green tea. The paper itself actually have a slight green tea scent. I like how it blots away excess oil but not drying out my skin nor wipe away my makeup. 

10)Travel/ Sample Size Fragrance: Every time I pack for my trip I will bring out my big stash of sample/ traveling perfume. Since I have so many perfume samples, I travel with a different one almost every time. This is a good time for me to really try out a perfume and it is really easy to travel with. Lately, I have been loving the Dior J'adore perfume, it has a floral scent. I think it is very summer appropriate.

Brushes

1)E.L.F. Stipple Brush

2) My Makeup Brush Set Flat top foundation

3) Angled Eye Liner Brush

4) Angled Brow Brush

5) E.L.F Spooly Brush

6) Crown Double Ended Eye Brush

7) Luxie Beauty Fluffy Blending Brush

I did not show my face cream, toners, makeup remover, etc. because I keep them with my toiletries. Also, a lot of the skincare products I bring are from my everyday skin care routine. I will either transfer them in a smaller container or find a travel/ sample size if I can find it. If you have not already, you can check out My Everyday Skincare Routine.

I hope this is somewhat helpful for people that are traveling! If you are traveling, leave a comment/ or tweet me where you are going and share with me your essentials! If you are not traveling, you can also share with me where you want to travel to and what will you be bringing if you go on a trip!

May IPSY Glam Bag Unboxing

Hello! The bag is finally here!!! I saw the pink bag from far away and I came home running toward the mailbox!

If you are unfamiliar with IPSY, it is a subscription service that is $10 USD a month in the USA. It contains 5 products, with a mix of deluxe, full size or mini samples. Every month, I always stay away from the sneak peak so I have no idea what the bag is like until I open it up. I started my subscription since November 2014, Honestly, for the past few months I was not too impressed. The April bag was starting to get better, but this month is ......find out at the end ;) haha

The theme  this month is Jetsetter. The bag is so cute and on point! I know I am going to get so much use out of this bag!!! It is a decent size too so I can easily fit my makeup in it. Off to a good start!

Here are the products. They are in no particular order, just the order I pulled them out from the bag.

Urban Decay-24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil+Bonus Revolution High-Color Lip Gloss

The lip pencil is in the shade Ozone, well, it's a clear pencil. There are two sample lip gloss in this package, Failbait and Bitter Sweet. Failbait is a light neutral pink color and Bitter Sweet is bright purple! 

According to the IPSY website, this lip pencil claimed to be a long-lasting, waterproof liner that glides on smoothly to prime and define for long lasting lip color and clean lines. I swatched this on my lips and it feels light weight and not waxy. I was really happy to receive this because I have been looking for a clear lip pencil that can go underneath any lip stick!

I have not swatched the lip gloss yet because of the packaging. For packaging like this I need to find a container to keep the remaining lip gloss because this is definitely not a one-time use only product. However, I have heard many great things about the lip gloss. For example, this gloss is pigmented and not sticky! So I'm excited to try this product soon! 

Chella- Eyebrow Color Pencil (0.09g)

Honestly, I have never heard of the brand, I was quite disappointed when I saw this product. My first impression of the product is that the packaging seems a bit cheap. I know that packaging is not the most important thing but it is the first thing people see before actually trying the product. That being said, I still played around with the product a bit. It is a mechanical pencil (yes!) and the sleek packaging (sounds way better!) allows the product to be lightweight and convenient to bring around. This came in the shade Tantalizing Taupe. I am really happy that the color is something I can really wear. I like to have lighter brows and this is it! Also, it goes on creamy and easily blend-able!(yay!!)

The shade reminds me of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Soft Brown, so I am going to do a side by side comparison with it. Let me know in the comments if you want to see a post on how the two products compare.

Luxie Beauty- Tapered Blending Eye Brush 205

I have been waiting to receive another brush in the glam bag. Last time I received the Crown-Infinity Shadow/ Crease Duet Brush, I love it! (review will be up soon) Hence I was so excited to receive this one because the packaging(?!) is so cute! This brush has a pink handle and rose gold details ❤︎ how adorable! It claims to have high quality synthetic hair bristles that is  100% Animal Cruelty Free with antibacterial solution. The bristles are so soft and bouncy, I am excited to play around with this brush more!




CoTz- Face Natural SPF 40 (0.35oz)

I thought this is just a normal sunscreen for the face. Yes, I have been looking for a good sunscreen for face but somehow I was not too excited when I saw this product. I was WRONG! I swatched this on my hand and realized this is not just a sunscreen. It has a consistency of the Benefit Porefessional Primer. It feels like a tinted moisturizer, light weight with beige color. However, it blends translucent and with a sheer matte finish. I also feel as if fills up my pores like the Benefit primer, haha! It has no scent, which is perfect for my sensitive skin! The description on the IPSY website:"100% Free of Oils, Chemical Sunscreem, Preservatives, Fragrances, Parabens, Gluten, Phythalates" (Awesome!) It also claimed to be water resistant for 80 minutres, but I'll have to try this out and let you know!

Klorane- Smoothing and Relaxing Patches

Last but not least are the soothing eye patches for refreshing, moisturizing and brightening tired eyes. Thank you IPSY for providing two packs of this product, how sweet!  This is really something I need to try on and update you on the results! 

This month is amazing! It is the best bag since November when I first subscribed to IPSY. I love how this bag focuses more on the makeup

This is going to be a...

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is a 5/5 bag for me because I am happy with all the products I received. I also feel that there seemed to be more than just 5 items to try on! I hope that June Glam Bag can be as awesome!
