What's inside my travel make up bag this month...

So I like to carry abit of makeup around with me inside my main handbag for any touch ups or disasters. It gives me something less to worry about if I know I am prepared for almost anything.
The products on this bag to vary from week to week sometimes so I hope to make this a regular topic.

So here is what I am currently carrying with me:

1. Bourjois colour boost lipstick crayon in peach on the beach
This has quickly become one of my favourite items as I just love the colour of this as it is perfect for daytime. The colour lasts really well and apart from bring waterproof it is SPF 15 so I will be rocking this on my lips most of the summer.

2. Benefit fake up concealer in light
This isn't my favourite concealer but I like the pretty packaging and it's nice and compact for any midday touch ups over my other concealer.

3. Benefit eye bright stick
I don't use this everyday but sometimes if I feel that I need that extra something or I'm looking abit tired this tends to perk me up. I just use it in the inner corner of the eyes, under the brow and them 3 cat flicks at the outer corner of the eyes and then blend and voila I'm awake.

4. Bourjois cream blush in 01
I am so happy that I now own this blusher in 01 and 02 I love them both so much. I like to carry the 01 blush around with me as it's so small and compact but it also includes a mirror which is good as in usually leave this by my desk with a lipgloss for emergencies. This gives just the right amount of colour for soft flushed cheeks.

5. W7 go west matte lipstick in candy pink
This is another new one but it gives a great pigmented pop of colour to my lips on days when I'm feeling colourful. I'm abit obsessed with these matte lipsticks and this colour is my favourite. They are super cheap are approx £2.50 each so I am constantly raving about this product.

6. Burts Bees lip balm
I have never tried Burts Bees before but I have read a lot of good reviews on blogs. I really want to try one of the sample starter kits to test out more of the skincare range. This has a nice and fresh feeling on the lips with a peppermint flavour.

7. Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder
I am not going to bore you rambling about how much I love this again but I cannot be without it so it stays with me 24/7. Just take my word for it that's it's good and that you need it in your life.

8. Optrex eye drops for tired eyes
I'm not going to repeat myself with this one either but as a contact lens wearer the heat dries out my eyes so bad that it hurts. This helps to refresh and lubricate them throughout the day.

9. Benefit beautiful bermuda betty bag
For me this is just the perfect little size to keep all my travel bits in. It's nice and small but still roomy. It is square shaped so I can struggle to fit some long full sized lip glosses in.

What are you daily travel essentials that you couldn't be without?

My 3 favourite Benefit make up bags and why I use them all

Can you manage with just one make up bag? I know I can't. I like to be organised not crazy alphabetical organised but not far off?
So why do I need 3 makeup bags I hear you ask, greed? Yes maybe but they really do all have a purpose i promise. 

Small: Benefit Bermuda Betty, I got this little square one to carry around daily in my handbag. I don't want to be lugging around any extra weight than I have to, my handbag weighs a tonne anyway. Inside here I keep all my basic essential like lip gloss, concealer, eye bright and also it has a mirror inside.

Medium: Benefit Glamorous Gabbi, I love the style of this as you can just dump everything in and it's easy to find it again. It has pockets for your individual brushes on one side and a big deep pocket on the other side. But as this is my secondary make up bag which I don't keep my brushes in anyway I use it for storing any makeup that isn't Benefit. I also got this to store my glossy box goodies than I plan to use. I have only recently got this one so it does look a bit on the empty side at the minute but I have big plans for it.

Large: Benefit Beauty bag travel size, this is my pride and joy as it is full of all my Benefit favourites. It is nice and big so it fits the kits in, I like to keep them all neatly stacked together and then all the tube items stood up to the other side of the bag. It has a zip clear pocket to the back which I keep some small items in and my brushes.

Please share you make up bag with me, how many do you have and what size do you use?
Please leave a comment with a link to your blog and I will check it out :-)
