I’m leaving for France early tomorow morning and have spent the past few days packing and getting ready. Its really sad, but one thing I really enjoy doing is packing make-up! I love going through all my bits and sorting out what I will use and re-discovering products that I love.
I’m going away for two weeks and have photographed every product I’m taking to show you all. I’m very aware that I’m probably definitely over packing but I can’t help it! I’d rather take too much than too less!

This is the make-up bag I’m taking it in –
I got it a few years ago on EBay for a few pennies and I adore it. Its really roomy and spacious, and is padded so hopefully my bits won’t get damaged! I have a smaller MAC make-up bag which I keep on me with all the bits I use regularly in for quick make-up top-ups/refreshments whilst I’m travelling!
Do you think its too much to take away for two weeks? Do let me know! I did try to narrow it down but I couldn’t anymore! How much did you all take away on holiday this year?
You can never take too much! 😛

I think youve taken a good amount! I am soooo bad at packing ANYTHING, make up is by far the worst! I never know what I feel like wearing.. I went away for a week and took a ridiculous amount.. whats worse is I always end up buying make up when I'm away! Anyways enough rambling.. hope you have a lovely trip hunnie x
ohhh i love having a nosey at people's makeup great stuff your bringing and i desperately want jazzed! have a great time 🙂 xx
OMG that's a lot to me… but I must mention that my last holiday was spent mainly on the beach LOL.
Darling I probably take a lot more just so my options are open, especially eye makeup bc anything can happen! <3
hehe, yes, but only because I know what it's like to over pack makeup! 🙂 I finally got it down to the necessities that I use everyday & a few 'extra' pieces. It's tough to make decisions, but I ask myself… "am I really going to wear this while on holiday?" & I can talk myself out of packing it. Do have a lovely time in France!!! xx
No, I don't think it's too much for 2 weeks…I always tend to overpack on makeup too 😀 I love your makeup bag, by the way! Have fun in France! xx
WOW! France?? Lucky you, I have always dreamed of going there! Great makeup choices for travel!
ahh, the storm palette. GOOD choice!
personally, that much product is too much for ME. but if you know you'll be using all of that at least once, then it's worth it, isn't it?
when i'm on holiday, i tend to do the same looks (one for the day, one for the night) so i don't have to think about it. it's a cosmetic "uniform" of sorts.

Cute make-up bag:)
I don't think thats too much for 2 weeks, i think its probably the right amount, how much i'd take anyways haha. I love packing my make-up to go on holidays
xx
Haha I'd say it's too much for two weeks but I'm the same – I always overpack so I'm not judging 😉 I'd take fewer lipsticks and take only one MSF for fear of smashing them.
Have fun on your trip! 🙂
normal ppl would say, that's a lot for a trip! but for makeup lovers, it's not much. you really need them! 🙂
