My makeup essentials for a business trip

I'll be away for a few days on a business trip, and thought I could share with you what I'm bringing with me. Its quite basic, since I can't see myself putting on multicoloured eyeshadow...it may scare away non makeup salespeople :D

These are the brushes I'm bringing:

MAC 187 - for powder
Spa Resource angled face brush - for contouring
MAC 138 - for blush
Sephora crease brush - for blending
Posh blending/crease brush - for the outer corner of eye
ELF eyeshadow brush - general all over the lid application
Annabelle slant brush - great for gel liners. Actually I could take this out, since I decided to bring liquid liners instead of a gel liner.
Crown Brush liner & spoolie brush - for filling in brows
Koji 38mm lash curler


I don't usually pack my brushes in a brush roll when I'm travelling. Instead I have a plastic pencil case box for them - protects them from being bent out of shape.

What do you normally bring on a trip?

I also don't put my brushes on a roll when I travel.. I prefer the bag too :)

For business trips, I usually have lots of moisturizer because I find that anytime you're traveling, your skin deprives of moisture! Not sure why :p I pack all basic minis, and face and body wash :)

great selection! I lug around that many items when I travel (or every weekend when I stay over at my bf's). Except, I carry mostly travel-sized brushes

Lovely picks! I haven't tried ANY of these, I definitely should check them out.

Where did you get the Biore UV Base? Is it from Asia?

This looks great! I really need to make myself a list of makeup/beauty to bring while traveling. I always end up bringing wayyyy too much stuff!

Love looking at what is inside your cosmetics bag. For travel I tend to leave out my primer becuz I haven space in my ziplock bag for liquids!

Rimmel liquid foundation
Esprique precious loose powder
Bobbi brown blusher
Two majolica Majorca eye palettes
One juicy tubes
One v moisturizing Bobbi brown lipstick
One case of shu uemura make up brushes in a slim case

That's it!
