For my first packing post, I thought I would show you how I packed my makeup, and how I managed to pare everything down to the bare essentials (sort of) for a 5 week trip. Except for my lip products...because when I keep my eyes simple I need to have options with my lip products. I'm quite proud of everything else that I packed, as now that I'm back from the trip I can safely say that I used everything, but wasn't lacking anything!
The trick for me was packing as many travel sized/samples of products as possible for me. I basically amassed everything I could find in a travel size and brought them with me. This includes travel size brushes, and *shudder*..using sponge-tip applicators as my eye brushes!
How it all fit in my two makeup bags, complete with foundation spills.
