Insta-Updates: A massive travel cosmetics kit!

May 18, 2012 Paris B 25 Comments

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!

      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 😉

    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.

        May 22, 2012 at 1:19 pm

        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 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!

    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 😉

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️
