MY TRAVEL MAKEUP BAG

Hi babes! If you’ve been following me on Instagram then you know that over the last few weeks I have been traveling a ton! A combination of work and play has put me all over the country and I’ve had so much fun. When it comes to traveling, packing is the hardest thing for me because I want to take everything!! Anyone else have this problem? Haha but it forces me to really narrow down my go to items, especially what I take in my makeup bag. So today, I thought it would be helpful to chat about what is in my makeup bag when I travel and the items I just can’t leave behind! If you have some trips coming up this summer or just looking for some new makeup go to’s, then just keep on reading!

PREP

1. E.L.F Poreless Face Primer- This drugstore primer is by far my favorite! It fills in all your wrinkles, pores, and gives your face a smooth canvas. It does have a a very earthy smell to it because of the natural ingredients in it. It’s infused with Tea Tree and Vitamins A & E. Great drugstore find!

FACE

1. It Cosmetics CC+ Cream- If you haven’t tried this CC cream before then GIRL you’re in for a pleasant surprise!! It has the best coverage with SPF 50 so it’s perfect for the beach or even a work trip. I use the shade medium!

2. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer- I’ll say it again for the people in the back: THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL! Long day of traveling? BAM. Too many cocktails at the pool? BAM. This guy is the answer to all your problems!! I wear the shade light medium honey.

3. Confidence in Your Glow Palette- The jack of all trades! If there is one thing to take from this post… THIS is it. It has a highlighter, bronzer, and blush all in one. Perfect way to save space and can be used on your eyes too!

EYES

1. Tarte Pro To Go Amazonian Clay Palette- When I don’t use my Confidence in Your Glow, I always take this little guy! It has the best options of neutral colors for the day and then some fun colors to add in for the night. It’s nice and small so easy to squeeze in your makeup bag!

2. CoverGirl LashBoost Volume Mascara- Not going to lie, I haven’t used this mascara in years and just recently started using it again and I forgot how great it is!! It highlights every little lash and lengthens each one individually. You can’t beat that price!

3. E.L.F Instant Lift Brow Pencil- This has been a new brow pencil for me and I have to say. I am totally digging it. I love the colorant (I use the deep brown) and the spoolie on the end is so nice!! Best part of all? It’s $2!! (yes you read that right)

4. NYX Control Freak Eyebrow Gel- I get so many compliments on my eyebrows and I truly believe this product is why! Sets my brows in place for the day and blends in the colorant. Another amazing drugstore product!

LIPS

1. L’Oreal Color Rich Shine- If you’ve been following me on IG then you know this has been my go to lipstick lately! It is extremely hydrating, perfect for everyday wear, and makes you forget you’re wearing anything. My favorite color is the Varnished Rosewood!

SET

1. All Nighter Setting Spray- The best way to keep your makeup lasting throughout the day. Just a few refreshing spritzers and you’re on your way out!I I love the get the travel size so it’s packing friendly!

There you have it traveling friends! An inside look of my travel makeup bag. I am all about conserving space and having products do multiple things when I am in and out of hotels. A LOT of these were drugstore finds so I know they are super affordable. If you have any questions on how I use these products feel free to shoot me a DM (@amarakay) and I’d be happy to help! Until then… safe travels! :)

Remember, you don't need to be a model to look and feel amazing nor do you have to spend big bucks to do so. All you need is a little confidence and a killer shade of lipstick!
