What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?

I am off to Cornwall next weekend for the main purpose of a university open day but since it is such a long drive we thought we may as well stay there for a couple of nights and make the most of it. As we are only going for a short while, I only really need to take the basics so here is what I will be taking in my travel make up bag(s).


I am going to be taking two bags, one for brushes and one for the actual make up since neither bag is big enough for everything.  The smaller 'T' bag is from Alphabet Bags and is such good quality.  I love it because it's usually really hard to get things with the letter T on haha.  The other (which I will be using for my brushes) is from Zoeva and I got it with the Rose Gold brush set but you can also get them separately.


Let's start with what brushes I will be taking. From left to right I have:
Zoeva 102 / silk finish, which I use for liquid foundation
Barbara Daly powder brush
Zoeva 110 / face shape, perfect for blending concealer
Maybelline gel liner brush
Barbara Daly brush with no name
Real Techniques blush brush
Zoeva 231 / Luxe petit crease
Zoeva 317 / wing liner, I prefer to use this for my eyebrows as I have another brush for liner
Zoeva 127 / luxe sheer cheek, amazing for contouring
Zoeva 227 / luxe soft definer
You can probably see from that why I need a separate bag for brushes!


Face;
Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in 010 Light Porcelain
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in 1 Fair
Rimmel Stay Matte powder in 001 Transparent
Sleek Face Form Palette in Fair
The Sleek palette is perfect for travelling as it includes a blush, bronzer, highlighter and mirror all in one.


Eyebrows;
Makeup Revolution Focus & Fix eyebrow shaping kit in Medium-Dark
This is amazing for travelling as it is so compact and it includes 3 shades of powder, wax, tweezers, brush and mirror, everything you would need for doing your brows.


Eyes;
No7 Smoky Rose Quad and individual Stay Perfect eyeshadow in the shade 10 Wheatsheaf, all of which are both wearable for everyday and also buildable.
Maybelline gel liner
Maybelline 'The Falsies' mascara
Maybelline 'Rocket Volume' mascara
I always use two mascaras (one for top lashes and one for bottom) because I hate having really long bottom lashes so I use one that doesn't give as much length for those.


Lips;
Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub
Baby Lips in Mint Fresh
Rimmel Kate Moss lipticks in shades 03 and 101
I am not a bold lipstick wearer so I prefer to take one pink and one nude, plus lip balm and lip scrub.

I do tend to over pack but I'm pretty sure that everything here is necessary!
