I’ve just come back from a long weekend break away with my husband. I laid all of my make up out in readiness to get dressed and do my make up for our night out. He was amazed that I had brought so much stuff, even though I considered to be traveling quite light!
I tweeted the picture and I had a fair few requests to blog my kit so here it is!
This is the kit I take when I travel in the UK and cooler Europe climates. I refuse to take any of my high end make up as I would actually sit and cry if it got destroyed on a plane or train! C’mon ladies, we all know i’m not the only one eh!
My pink leopard print make up bag is a lovely Betseyville one, as is the skull and rose mini bag. This lives in my handbag with lippies and things in.
In the picture is also a travel can of Batiste, some Umberto Gianini serum for curls, Givenchy’s Ange ou Demon and No 7 false eyelashes in 40.

I know I could have narrowed it down a little more….. but I think it’s pretty conservative compared to some travel kits I’ve seen.
Do you travel with more or less make up? Do you take your good stuff or have a back up basics kit?
I’d take back to basics type stuff. I havent thought about it as to a long weekend, but I would say a little more than you! Hope you had fun.
We had a lovely time, just what was needed to.
It’s nearly your wedding isn’t it? x
Yeah 15 days to go! Ekk!
I travel really light when it comes to make up, mainly because I’m typically too lazy to apply it ha! I can usually get away with just taking an eyeliner 🙂 Although I guess it depends where I’m going, and what I’m planning on doing!
