The Breakdown of What is in that Epic Cosmetics Travel Kit!"},"content":{"rendered":"
A while ago, I showed you a birds eye view of the epically large cosmetics kit<\/a> that I packed ostensibly for travel. Firstly, I’d just like to say that if I were truly travelling for work or even for a holiday, I never pack a kit this massive. My travel cosmetics kits fit in 1 pouch and usually look something like this<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This time however, I was headed home for my brother’s wedding and I knew I had to look good so I could not risk a breakout or reactions to new products, and I also knew that I’d be sharing all sorts of stuff with my sister who had warned me that she wasn’t packing anything so could I just bring extra? Ah yes, sisters \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n So I packed full sizes of almost everything and packed exact products of skincare I had been using at the time. The bag turned out to be extremely large and probably weighed about 5kg \ud83d\ude1b I could be exaggerating, I’m not sure. But here’s what went in there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ll start off with the skincare because good skincare is the foundation of good skin right? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whew! Still awake? See anything you want a review of that I haven’t already reviewed? Please holler and if there’s enough interest, I’ll bump it up the list \ud83d\ude42 Products I’ve reviewed may be viewed by clicking through the name.<\/p>\n Next, makeup! Epic, I tell you, its EPIC! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we come up for air, again, remind me if you want anything specific dealt with in its own review post. I will get to them all in time, but I’m notoriously slow because I get distracted so holler and I’ll bump it up! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Finally, the tools of mass destruction… I meant construction \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the whole mass of products up there, the tools suddenly seem so few LOL! But its what they do that counts!<\/p>\n All the above fit into a Pierre Cardin cosmetics case. Snugly. With no room to spare. Ok with just about enough room for my toothbrush, a hair brush and a pack of cotton pads.<\/p>\n A lot of you expressed interest in the bag, what it was and where to buy it. I’ll be honest, ladies. I have no idea! I redeemed this bag many many years ago under one of those loyalty card points think – Bonuslink I think it was. It arrived larger than I expected, and I have only used it a few times due to its size. Its a canvas bag and padded for protection with a divider inside so there are 2 large compartments; and there is a flap at the back that allows you to slip it over the handles of a trolley back, if you choose to travel with it. Its by Pierre Cardin and you may be able to find something similar in the travel luggage department. One of you mentioned that you could use your DSLR camera bag and I think that’s an excellent idea!<\/p>\n So there you have it. This is what I would carry for a very important event that needs me to have my full arsenal of products with me. On other occasions, I carry sample sizes of everything, sachets if possible, and fit them all into a slim hand carry pouch. I am, it would appear, a creature of extremes \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n So tell me, do you carry full size products of your skincare when you travel? Or do you only do so on rare occasions?<\/strong> Makeup rarely comes in sample sizes, but if they do, would you carry a sample size or would you go with the full size too? Have you noticed something from the above lists that you’d like to know more about? Do let me know and I’ll get down to it!<\/p>\n Paris B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A while ago, I showed you a birds eye view of the epically large cosmetics kit that I packed ostensibly for travel.
