What's in my travel make-up bag..

I'm planning a trip home to California soon and thought I'd share what I'll be bringing in my beauty bag. Even for a longer trip, I still try to just roll with a carry on and avoid the hassle of checking bags, so I need to keep the packing simple. For this trip, I pared it down even more than usual as I know I'll be mostly spending downtime with family.

Here's what I'm bringing:















  1. Crystal deo (it works!)
  2. Coola Rose Essence tinted mineral sunscreen spf 20 (this smells and feels amazing on and doesn't have any ickies for your skin)
  3. Avene thermal water (great for a refresh on the plane and prior to apply oils on my face)
  4. Rosemary essential oil (if I can only bring one oil, this is it. It will battle any blemish that pops up from the climate change and sooth any sore muscles from the plane)
  5. Seabuckthorn oil (you can read my review here. This has quickly become my favorite oil for my face and the tiny size is perfect)
  6. RMS uncover-up in #22 and Lip2Cheek in Smile
  7. Revlon Not Just Nudes Illuminance Creme Shadow (perfect for a natural look on the eyes and you can use the 2nd from the right color for contouring). Also, I don't have to bring any brushes for this and #6 on the list - fingers are perfect for both.
  8. Lipstick Queen Sinner in Berry and Saint in Rouge (I'll put these on if we go out for a more nighttime look. Rouge looks amazing layered on top of Berry but for some reason I don't like it on me worn solo).
  9. Sugar Rose spf 15 or Pacifica Sugared fig will both be great applied on top of the Maybelline Balm Stain in Pinky Promise (this does stain the lips but doesn't really moisturize).
And there you have it! For facial cleansing I'll either grab some olive, sesame or grapeseed oil from the kitchen once I'm there and oil cleanse or if needed pick up some wipes.  For the plane I'll also pop my Valentina's Home Brewed perfume rollers (review here) in my purse, along with a Kind bar and some reading material and I'll be ready to roll!


Cal-i-for-nia here I come,
right back where I started from
