So these are my 5 items:
- A BB Cream - I took my Dior Hydra Life BB Creme with because it provides such great coverage and also has an SPF of 30.
- A compact eyeshadow palette - I chose my Bobbi Brown palette because it has a whole bunch of neutral browns that can be built up to be dramatic or toned down for a more natural look.
- A good mascara - if you are only taking one mascara, make sure it is one that gives you amazing results all the time. I took my Chanel Sublime mascara because it never disappoints me.
- Blush - I love wearing blush and it is a must for me. I took my Smashbox blush because it is beautifully pigmented and adds a nice pink glow to my cheeks.
- A neutral lipstick - I took my Stila lip colour balm with because it is such a fantastic lipstick that wears like a lipbalm. It is perfect for on the go touching up.
At initially I told myself I could only take 5 things but I had to take my Inglot powder with because I like to take away the shine on my skin and have a more matte appearance.
So there is my list of Weekend Away Makeup Essentials. Let me know what you carry with you and can't do without.
Big hugs,

Great products! I don't own any of these but would love to. I don't think I could narrow down my weekend away essentials to such a small list. I always pack way too much. xx
ReplyDeleteIt is tough to narrow choices down, I had a tough time.
DeleteLove the list. I went for a weekend away last week and just took my whole cosmetic bag because I couldn't play favourites with my make-up. I found that I ended up only using my concealer (didn't apply any foundation), my blush (which I also dusted my eyelids with), my MAC Opulash mascara and a clear lipbalm. I could've followed your list and still have overpacked!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, glad you like the list :)

ReplyDeleteSame as Chicara, I could never just pack 5 or 6 things... I'm a very heavy packer, it's like it's in my DNA. Whenever Neal and I go away and I put all my suitcases and bags together, he just looks at me and says: Really?!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks though, still would like to try one of those Stila balms! x
Ha Ha, I use to be like that but hate packing too much now. The Stila balm is amazing!
DeleteThis is good advice!:)I'm going away next week and I'll try only pack 5 things for the plane ride..This is exactly what I need!:)
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it goes!
DeleteVery sensible amount to take with :) and wonderful product choices xx
ReplyDeleteYour video gave me inspiration to share my products :)
DeleteI carry way to much stuff so I'm taking notes as to what is essential.
ReplyDeleteI beat you. I went away for 10 days and only took smoky eyeliner that smudges nicely, mascara and lipstick. I took a lot of skin care products as well, but that was the only makeup.
