I packed this cosmetics kit last night, and it turned out massive!
I don’t normally pack full-size skin care when I travel, nor do I pack a large number of makeup items but this was a bit of an exception to the general rule. Does anything in there look familiar? 😉
I’ll break it down and explain why I’m lugging around a huge and heavy kit in the coming week 😉
In the meantime, enjoy the weekend and I hope everyone has a lovely one regardless of where you are!

loving the makeup bag! its huggeee. where did ya get it? you look as if you’re packing for a month stay or something hahahahaha
I got the bag a long time ago. Redeemed from one of those bonuslink things. Didn’t realize just how handy it’d come in for when I need to carry a boatload of stuff 😉
Wow! A huge bundles of skincare and makeup items! Waiting for your review on this cosmetic kit! =)
I’ll bring a breakdown soon 🙂 just go back and am exhausted
I want that bag!!! Oh no…wait…let me rephrase that. I NEED that bag! 😛
Do tell what bag is that. Pretty please… 🙂
Haha going somewhere? 🙂 it’s a cosmetic case by Pierre Cardin that I redeemed from Bonuslink I think, many years ago. I’m not sure where to ge it now but I’m sure there are similar ones out there 🙂
hello Paris! i spot the bioderma.. is it as good as everyone makes it out to be? 🙂
Well spotted! 😀 I’m in 2 minds about the Bioderma. Dont think it’s as wonderful as everyone says but it’s quite good for quick cleansing. Will review it as soon as I can (and remember 😉 )
You go, girl! I’m actually really worried I’ll have too much to take with me when I go on holiday this summer. It’ll totally break my heart to make any kind of decisions haha
Haha I know how you feel but if I were in your shoes and going to Taiwan, I’d just bring the basics and buy everything else there. You know you will anyway! 😉
Hahaha.. I always travel w full size! Both skincare and makeup! I go home almost every weekend so my friend finds it unacceptable lol.. But I can’t make myself replicate another set at home… I need to use up the current stash and I dislike changing into a different set of skincare in the weekend haha.. My housemate concluded that I am weird XD
Wow you travel every week? I’d be so exhausted! I don’t usually travel with full size stuff unless I’m going away for a long time which has basically not happened for a long time. I guess it makes sense to not change around skincare just because you’re traveling. It breaks me out sometimes too.
yeah hehe… i go home at least once a month, if not every weekend or fortnight XD
so i basically lug a whole lot of stuffs here and there.
i had a awful year full of breakouts last year…due to stress and the fact i tried too many products. so now i stick to what i am using and blind myself whenever i am tempted to try something new hahaha
I think I spotted 2 EL products – 1 in the box and another in a bottle with gold cover. Wow, your upcoming travel seems quite intensive and the bag just fits the purpose so well 🙂 I’m traveling to Singapore for work next week, short stay so will pack sample sachets. Enjoy your trip!
Eagle eyed! It was a sample of EL ANR and the full size eye serum 😀 I only packed full sizes out of necessity this time. Normal times I’d just do sachets or travel sizes 🙂 enjoy your trip to Singapore!
i think i saw bioderma, vichy, biore, melvita and estee lauder. that’s for skincare…
makeup i see your dior lipstick and your guerlain meteorites. the rest totally don’t know what’s what 😛
Not bad! You picked out quite a few in the bag 😉
I went traveling last week and found out my beauty product had occupied a big chunk of space. I wondered why I had to pack so many things, but when I examined them one by one. Each of them seems to be “necessary.” 😛
Usually I pack just a small pouch with samples and travel sizes. But it’s still probably Takes up the most space in my bag! Hope you had a good trip!
I love looking at makeup/skincare stashes in makeup bags. Thanks for sharing, dear! (I spy the new Meteorites!)
Teehee I love seeing what people pack too! I’ve got a breakdown coming up 🙂
So much, but they all seem necessary don’t they? It looks like a very good bag for organizing. Having been in university the past four years, I have the packing down to an art! Haha.
I see some things still in their boxes. Are they new or do you keep the boxes for somethings? I do that sometimes.
Have fun on your trip!
For this trip, everything was necessary to make sure I looked my best at all times hehe… I don’t usually keep things in their boxes umless i have a reason to (like thwn i need to take a pictue of ingredients) so those in the boxes are new 😉
I just came back from two long holidays and I thought I’m a very excessive traveler with my full size skincare and makeup stuff. After I saw this, it makes me feel normal haha.
Your makeup bag actually gives me the idea to use my ugly-therefore-unused dlsr camera bag which looks exactly like yours for my next trip. Bye-bye carrying 3-4 ziplock bags to store my stuff 🙂 You are full of brilliant inspiration!
LOL!! Might it make you feel even better to know this was just for a weekend? 😉 I don’t normally travel this heavy though. I travel very lightly with sachets and samples, rarely with full sized anything except makeup 🙂 I didn’t think of using a DSLR bag as a makeup pouch, but it would make a lot of sense because those things are roomy and have nice partitions too! Great idea, Trah! BTW Where did you go on holidays? Make me jealous, come on 😉
