I am so excited to be traveling to Ankara tomorrow eeeeek! For those of you that don't know Ankara is the capital of Turkey. I'm almost ashamed to say that I've never been to Ankara before, glad to be crossing that off my list very soon!
As you may already know, I've been in Turkey for 4 months...which means I already have a limited amount of makeup with me here *tear* This actually made narrowing down and selecting much easier. It seriously took me less than 10 minutes. I think reminding yourself the length of you trip while packing helps quite a bit!
Brushes // Sigma F50 - e.l.f Complexion Brush - Sigma F05 - Sigma F35 - Sigma E55 - MAC 217
MAC Eyeshadows // Twinks - Print - Patina - Orb
Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow - Taupe Grise
MAC Paint Pot - Nubile
MAC Studio Finish Concealer
Dior Poudre Shimmer - Amber Diamond
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
MAC MSFN Medium Dark
Milani Baked Blush - Luminoso
Picking a versatile blush helps save space for other goodies in your bag, which is what I did. Luminoso is a blush I use quite frequently, I have experimented with it on several different looks. I know it works, so in the bag it goes. Luminoso + Amber Diamond make one of my favorite cheek combos too :)
YSL Touche Eclat
L'oreal Voluminous Mascara
Korres Eyeliner Pencil - Black
MAC Pro Longwear Foundation
You're seeing it correctly - I am taking only 1 lipstick and that is MAC Hue (I love love love this shade!) I've also been adoring my newly purchased Clarins Natural Lip Perfector #2 which happens to look gorgeous layered over Hue. Just in case I want to mix it up a bit and sport pinker lips I am taking my favorite lipgloss YSL Gloss Pur #2. And of course My EOS lip balm is coming along as I am going to a place colder than Istanbul and cracked lips just ain't pretty!
What would you add/leave out if you were me? What are your must-pack products?
Ebrucum çok güzel görünüyor hepsi...bayıldım...:)
ReplyDeletechanel vitalumiere aqua is my must-pack ...if you havent already tried it you need to!!! it so light to carry round too because its a plastic bottle and just an amazing finish. love your post!
ReplyDeleteI usually travel with only eyeliner, foundation, powder, blush and a neutral eye palette...my eye shadows would usually act as both my bronzer and highlighters..haha..
ReplyDeleteanyway great picks!
great choices..
ReplyDeleteI must have my tinted moisturizer, Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, Real Techniques stippling brush, L'oreal magic smooth souffle foundation, and Physicians Formula Happy Booster Light bronzer (can act as a powder, bronzer, and blush for me). I really have to be sure to perfect my skin :-/ I'd also have Luminoso for variety, my EOS Lemon Drop lip balm (sunscreen), Covergirl LashBlast Volume mascara, Hue or Creme de Nude, and a pink like Speed Dial or perhaps something brighter. I can skip eyeliner/eyeshadow if I'm going to be busy. Eyeshadow and liner are for fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat I bring really depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing - I just did a post yesterday on what I brought for a weekend trip to see my parents (not much at all), but when I go to Las Vegas for a week this summer, I'm going to bring a ton of bright and dark makeup. great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks.
ReplyDeleteWow you're so good at narrowing things down! Everything you're bringing looks amazing and they really seem like staple products! I would probably pack a few different colored eyeliner pencils just to give myself some more options while staying travel friendly. Hope you have fun on your trip :)
ReplyDeleteI love Luminoso too! Totally regret not bringing it with me to Indonesia. Should've taken it instead of my MAC Hipness.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there's a lot of stuff from the picture (even though we all know, it really isn't) but every product brought makes sense :)
Awesome choices. x
Like the too faced bronzer! :)

ReplyDeleteavmlere gıtmelısın alısveriş için
D: I don't think I could choose....
ReplyDeletei think you packed the perfect amt! wow on the lippies! so few but now that you have a limited collection you are prob using everything up like crazy! luminoso is so divine and all your lippies look to be the perfect shades of pinks!
ReplyDeleteYou did well! I'd probably add some personal favourites - and an eyelash curler is a must have I don't see here :-)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to add more foundations, I'm afraid I'd get bored! :P You are so practical, I always over pack atleast one category (usually eyeshadow or lipstick :P) when I go away! :P
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing so many great things about the clarins lip perfector, i def want to try it out now!
ReplyDeletesince its super cold and windy here in nyc i would use chanel's lip treatment instead of the eos lip balm to prep the lips for lipstick.

love love all your picks. Love the look of your Mac palette. Gorgeous. I'm extremely jealous of your make up.... I want to try Mac Hue so badly..... I own a lipstick though which is very similiar to it -17 Mirrorshine in Belle.It's my go to lipstick. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this selection, well-planned & nth excessive!!! PS: Those lip combinations sound amaaazing (aka I really need Hue in my life)!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great time!!

Ooooh YSL Pur 2 looks like a extremely flattering colour.
ReplyDeleteLove the products you have chosen to take with you! I think you made some great choices. I look forward to reading more posts from your end. Enjoy Ankara.
ReplyDeletethe MAC shadows look so pretty! and of course, all of your lip products. ;)
ReplyDeleteI need to get that bronzer already! I would leave out eyebrow products, I don't typically use them anyway but also don't feel they are necessary! ♥
ReplyDeleteLove this post. You chose some great classic items!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of products, I think you chose well! Pretty amazing that you managed to pick just one lippie :)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I think I'm the worst person to ask haha I pack way to much! I usually bring a whole bag full because I am so indecisive lol
ReplyDeleteI have that YSL Lipgloss! (I just felt like I was 5 again, and someone in school had the same shoes/bag...etc which meant you had to go up and yell SNAP at them :3)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't go without my Bobbi Brown Correct and Conceal kit, my Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation, and a big selection of Mac blushes.
