Packing Light

I am ashamed to admit I can't pack lightly, no matter how hard I try it never works. The same rule applies when I'm packing up my make up. I decided to show you how much I brought with me for my weekend to Dublin in the hope that someone might share in my over packing problem!!

Everything I brought with me I used except for maybe one of the lipsticks so I wasn't packing for the sake of packing!

Urban Decay foundation primer, eye shadow primer & All Nighter setting spray.

Foundation - MAC Studio Fix for going out and L'Oreal Nude Magique for daytime .

Mascara - Benefit Bad Gal Lash for going out and Seventeen Falsifeye for daytime. I'm so fussy about my mascaras and hate comb wands it has to be the original brush mascaras as there is nothing worse than clumpy eyelashes.

Eye Shadow Palettes - Urban Decay Vice 2, Too Faced Chocolate Bar and Sleek i Divine Original. When going out I used shades out of all of these and couldn't go away with one palette as I like to have different eye make up for during the day and each night.

Lipstick - Revlon Colorburst Elusive & Showy, Maybelline Color Sensational Hot Plum, Sleek True Colour Lipstick Mystic, Lime Crime Airborne Unicorn & Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Kiss Of Life. Ok so I mightn't have needed 5 lipsticks for a four day trip but I need to be prepared for all eventualities (really not justifying it at all).

Lip Pencil -2  Mac lip pencils in Cherry & Magenta, and 2 Barry M lip pencils no. 7 & 2. Obviously bringing 5 lipsticks required four lipliners. I definitely have a problem!

Blush - MAC powder blush Pink Swoon & Stila Convertible Colour Peony.

HD Brow palette in Foxy.

Crown Brush Concealer Palette.

Mac Studio Fix Powder.

Benefit Hoola bronzing powder.

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black.

So there it all is, I defintootly needed to bring it all with me and would have been lost if I only brough half of it. I am definitely a make up junkie especially when it comes to lipsticks (rehab is needed).
