My husband’s family lives in Cleveland, so we take quite a few weekend trips. (5 hour drives!) I remember the first time we went for the weekend. I took the BIGGEST makeup bag with me. I was thinking I would want to do some really unique things all weekend and stay on top of things…but the truth is, I stuck to a pretty basic look all weekend and could have brought less than HALF of what I did.
This time, I really worked on travel sizes, not bringing duplicates of things (like 400 lipsticks) and multi-tasking pieces. My Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette is a bronzer, highlight and blusher all in one! My The Nudes palette by Maybelline is compact and easy to use so I didn’t have to pack a BIG palette or multiples. I am pretty happy with the paired down bag I’m bringing.
