Since I will be staying with my family, I won't be taking bath & body products and all the little extras (Hey mom and sis, hope you stocked up haha :)) I am also not taking my flat iron as getting a beautiful blowout in Istanbul is super cheap, most people can afford to get their hair professionally done for $5, the hair stylists there are amazingly fast too! (and anyway I wash my hair twice a week)
Here is what I'm taking with moi...
Foundation - Revlon PhotoReady
Powder - MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural
Bronzer - Benefit Hoola
Highlighter - Dior Amber Diamond
Blush - Illamasqua Lover, NARS Lovejoy & Douceur
Concealer - MAC Studio Finish, elf Concealer & Highlighter Duo
Eye Shadows-
Pro Color x 4 Compact - Filled with; Print, Patina, Satin Taupe, Grain
MAC Beauties Play It Cool Palette (I am obsessed with purples what can I do?!)
UD Naked Palette - Only because it's much thinner than my favorite palette ever Too Faced Natural Eye
In a perfect world, I would take my most used MAC palette with me. However in my summer trip, I lost 2 eye shadows (Humid and Nylon) MAC palettes sadly don't seem to be too sturdy.

Origins Checks and Balances Face Wash
Origins Perfect World Moisturizer
Givenchy Ange ou Démon Le Secret
So what do you think, am I crazy for taking too many products or am I crazy for not taking enough? :) Are you guys light-packers when it comes to make-up or do you take everything with you?
I just went to the Philippines this Christmas, and I totally ran into the same problem! I might've brought the same amount of things you're bringing (maybe a few more), and I found that I really didn't need ALL of them!
ReplyDeleteI think for next time, I'll definitely bring fewer things and challenge myself to be creative use what I have. I also ended up buying a bunch of makeup there too, so I need to leave room for extra stuff! :D
Have a safe, super fun trip! :)
I think you took more than you should, but i am the ssme, i always pack so much and most of the time dont use anything. I adore the original ange ou demon parfum by givenchy.
ReplyDeletei am a horrible packer! i'm always promising myself that i'll just take my everyday products.. and 20 products later i'm still trying to zip my makeup bag shut! xxx
ReplyDeleteI think you've packed just enough for your holiday :D You don't want to be taking anymore cause it will take up more space and you probably won't use it all! It's so difficult to leave stuff at home though!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Turkey.. It has got to be one of the best places I have visited! I hope you have a lovely time :)

Hi, Im new to your blog and I love it! Its hard to pack your makeup lightly when your traveling, especially if it's a long trip. I eneded up bring a bunch of makeup with me when I went to Antalya and I hardly wore any of it. It was just too hot and humid and the makeup would hardly stay on so I just wore my studio fix powder and did my eye brows lol. I was pretty lazy. I hope you had a great trip, I miss Turkey a lot!
