What do you take on trips?
28 posts, 14 members
So I'm going on a week long holiday in a couple weeks to Auckland, and as I'm making a list of what I want to take with me, I realise I have waaayy too many things in my makeup/skincare section. What would be the essentials that you'd take, and what are the things you'd take if there's space but not essential?
I'd take the skincare basics, like makeup remover, cleanser, toner, serum, spf moisturizer, sleeping mask or night cream. And then like a couple products in case my skin is extra dry or sensitive or I have a breakout, like a sheet mask and some aloe vera gel (which is a good all rounder for alot of things). If you have any of those 3 step sheet mask packs those are great for travel.
For makeup I'd pick a palette that has my face basics like bronzer, highlight, powder and blush, eye primer, a BB cream or foundation and primer, concealor, eyeliner, mascara, some brow product, a few mini lipsticks and a couple brushes. If I still have space I'd pack an eyeshadow quad but if you just want a light daytime look you could just use your bronzer or blush from the palette to get a wash of color and then use the highlight for inner eye corners.
If you have sample sachets of products that you've used before and some little containers you could take those with you and save some space.

Yeah I should add that that's my usual travel essentials and my work/leisure travel is about 70/30.
The lightest I've packed makeup wise was probably Samoa where I kinda just got by on illuminating bn, blush, stick highlighter, mascara, eyeliner and lipgloss if I needed face and pretty much just sunblock and lip balm poolside lol

I'm heading to the gold coast in a week and then to Fiji in Jan. Will defiantly watch this thread for some tips. I've been picking up travel size products so it will take up less room and will be taking the goodness makeup balm for make up removal so don't need to worry bout any oils/liquids leaking. I also have 2 perfume decanters so I don't need to take full size bottles.
That sounds exciting Toni. I didn't know you could decant perfume.
Normally I buy travel sized for all my bathroom essentials.
My make up I just go for my face and eyes pallette by tarte. Foundation and three lippies always one nude and two statement colours. Mascara ,eye liner and brow pencil, I just go for make up wipes. I ditch concealer, setting powder, setting spray , face powder. I just zip lock bag them .

For make up I usually take brushes, foundation, powder, concealer, a small blush, a mini mascara if I have one, eyeliner, a small palette and a neutral and a bold lipstick.
Skincare I narrow down to moisturizer and cleanser. I also take a spot zapper just in case.
Then the usuals of deodorant, sunscreen etc.
Have a lovely trip :)

Made a bunch of rollerball perfume decants yesterday. I prefer rollerball to spray packaging because I feel like there's more control using a rollerball and less wasteful.
I didn't even think about bring makeup brushes omg. I'll probably just bring an eyeshadow brush, and use my fingers/the puffs they come with for everything else.

Such an interesting thread. I have some small pots from the dollar store that I always fill with cleanser, moisturiser and anything else that I don't have a travel sized version for. I always make sure to take a product like a palette or bronzer that has a decent sized mirror - especially in case the hotel room doesn't have good lighting in the bathroom and I need to apply makeup by a window. Enjoy your trip!
I went away for a couple nights and actually ending up packing a huge bag because I didn't want to think and have to make edits just since I like to pack as quickly as possible. I ended up using lots of sachets but I threw in quite a few few sized staples just in case. In the end I ended up using mostly sachets except for things like my sunscreen, spf moisturizer, facial oil, toner and handcream.
I did have some bodycare products but I was pleasantly surprised to find that this hotel was really nice and had some good quality toiletries in the bathroom so I didn't use the stuff I brought. Ironically, I didn't think to bring bath stuff and I end up with a bathroom that has a bathtub and I was wishing I brought my bath bombs. Though I actually ended up being really busy that day and never got around to having a bath.
