What's in my travel make up bag?

I recently went away to visit a friend for a weekend. I flew there and it was only about an hour flight which meant I didn't want to have to wait for a checked bag or pay for a checked bag for such a short trip. However only packing a carry on means bringing as very little make up as possible but still enough to do the job.

Left to right: Elf Dump Bag, Rimmel Lasting Perfection Foundation, Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette, Maybelline Lash Stiletto, Maybelline Fit Me Matte in Translucent, Elf under eye concealer and highlight, Essence lip liner in Satin Mauve, Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara Cover Girl Bombshell Powder Brow& Liner,  Essence Make Me Brow, Elf Blush in Tickled Pink, L'Oreal Infallible Contour Kit.


I love this palette you can create so many different looks with it that its a great palette to travel with and it fits comfortably in my makeup bag so it doesn't take up too much space!

I clearly use this blush a lot as you can see I've hit pan on it! This contour palette is the only drugstore one I can find that fits my pale skin tone. The highlight is a little powdery but if I put it on top of the Elf cream one it looks amazing!
I just realized I forgot to include the L'Oreal Colour Riche Le Balm in Nourshing Nude that I use with the lip liner, this combo is my everyday nude lip look I love it!

All of these items fit in my make up bag with extra space! I totally could have packed more but wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
