What's in my travel makeup bag - Bali edition

I went for a 5 days trip to Bali last weekend and I'd like to share with you guys what makeup I brought with me. I was gonna take the pics while I was there, but I ended up being so busy I didn't have time. 

So here are the makeup bag that i brought with me 


I like to separate my liquid and powder stuff. I checked in the liquid bag and carry the powder ones in my hand bag. I don't want to risk shattering any of my pressed powder compact and liquid stuff is just too heavy to carry in my purse. 


Here are everything in the pressed powder bag.

1. MAC quad

Manilla Paper, Soft Brown, Corck, and Carbon
here's the swatch

2. MAC mineralize skinfinish natural 


The only powder I brought to set my foundation

3. Urban Decay Brow Box in Beige Betty


4. Benefit Powder Flage 


An awesome product to set under eye concealer. (I heard benefit is discontinuing this product T.T)

5. Shu Uemura eyelash curler (gold edition)


6. Ardel Accent Lash in 318


These are my favorite fake lashes. They are wispies accent lashes. Looks very natural on the eyes and I always gets compliments whenever I use these.

7. Single Eyeshadows

L-R: MAC Blac Type, MAC Jaunty, Stilla Kitten, Urban Decay Secret Service

8. Bare Minerals Ready quad in The Truth 


Swatches,


9. Blushes 

NARS Deep Throat and MAC Stunner

NARS deep throat is hands down my favorite all time blusher. It's a warm peachy pink. 

MAC stunner is part of a limited edition MAC me up collection. It's such a pretty pink blush with a gorgeous sheen. it's definitely cooler tone compared to NARS deep throat. 

10. Bronzer and Highlighter

NARS Laguna Bronzer and Dior Amber Diamond

And now, what's in my liquid makeup bag:


11. Shiseido Sun Protection Foundation 


I brought this foundation with me because of the SPF and because it doesn't budge once it's set on the skin. Perfect for the hot and humid Bali weather. 

12. Make Up Store Cover All Mix


This is a new addition to my foundation routine. I love the texture and coverage of this concealer wheel. 

13. Minis


I like to travel with mini products. So, I poured in some of my chanel vitalumiere aqua foundation in the MAC sample jar. I also brought with me benefit minis that I got from the rare beauty kit. High beam is the perfect liquid highlighter and I mostly use benetint on my lips. It creates the most beautiful pinkish healthy look on my lips. 

14. Tools 


As for tools I only brought with me my mini tweezerman tweezer and sephora sharpener. 

15. Duo Eyelash Adhesive in Dark-Tone


16. More Concealers 

Urban Decay 24/7 concealer, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer, and Garnier eye roll on
17. Revlon Brow Fantasy and Revlon colorstay Eyebrow Liner


Mainly I just use the brow gel on the brow fantasy and use the pencil from the colorstay eyebrow liner. 

18. Maybelline Long Extreme Stiletto Waterproof mascara


This is my current favorite mascara. It has some fiber that will lengthen the lashes. I got tons of compliment wearing this mascara. A lot of people thought I wear false lashes when I use this. It made my non-existent lashes very noticeable. The funny thing is, every time I told people It's just a drugstore mascara, no one believes me. It's really amazing. 

 19. Clinique Bottom Lashes Mascara 


20. Lipsticks and Lip glosses

Loreal Glam Shine Miss Raspberry, Lancome Rouge in Love 230M, Etude House Roll Roll Gloss in no 05

21. Eyeliners

Singapore Haul - day 2

Hi again everyone. I am super tired right now. I spent the whole day jumping from shop to shop. I didn't buy that much beauty products though, so here is it:


I found travalo at watsons taka. SUPER EXCITED. I've never tried this before. I bought two, which is the black and gold one. One for Viva La Jucicy and the other for Daisy. They are approximately 25 SGD.

Yesterday, I was flipping singapore's cleo magazine and saw the ad for the new L'oreal Color riche lipstick line. It is a few pages of different makeup look. One of it has this pic


An orange lipstick that i've been looking around since Ashley Grenne's photo on seventeen magazine. So, I went to check out the line. There are 20 colours in total, but for some reason, they only have 10 in the special lipsticks display. The colour in this ad is supposed to be the colour no 373, magnetic rose. They are SGD 20.90, but right now watsons is having quite some sale. So, they are 20% off. 


I am very disappointed in the colour. It doesn't look at all orange. It's just another coral lipstick to me. I really don't understand how they promote this shade with such an ad. The colour is not even close. 


When i swatched it in the store, i was pretty surprised how the real colour differ from the ad campaign pic. I bought this just to show you guys how inaccurate the ad is. 

Also, because I'm me, I can't just buy one, so tried some neutrals 



235, Nude. It doesn't seem like it has much pigmentation, but I like the sheen.



379, Sensual Rose.

Just so you guys can see the pigmentation, i did swatch these lipsticks on my hand.

L-R: 235, 373, 379

Okay, one last thing i picked up. 


Shu Uemura creamy dome blusher in sunlight peach. This is part of a collection, which means it's limited edition. I really like how easily blend-able this is. I haven't tried this on my face though. 



So that's all for day 2. ^^

Love,
