Packing is a task, but if you are going for a short trip, things get tough. There is so much you need, but feel guilty carrying your entire make-up drawer for a weekend trip! At least I do!
So I thought I’ll divide my needs occasion wise, and see what products can double up!
Day: Sunscreen, BB Cream, Eye liner pencil, Chapstick, Lip gloss, Blush and a mist.
Night: Foundation, Eye shadow, Eye liner (liquid), Lipstick, Blush and a perfume.
Total products required: 13
Number of products packed: 7
Here’s what I packed:
1. Sunscreen, because no one should have to live without it. I use Neutrogena try touch, because it gives me SPF 50 and a matte effect at the same time!
2. BB Cream, it can double up as foundation for evenings. My choice is Maybelline, in Natural 03. It is light, translucent and can be layered with a compact for an opaque look.
3. Liquid Eye-liner, because it can be easily used both during day and night. I love Lakme Intense Black. The best part about this liner is that it comes off easily, with just water!
4. Chap-stick for day and one bold lip color for evening, which can double up for the day. I am packing Maybelline Baby Lips in Mango Pie, and Avon lipstick in Tangerine Tango. Sometimes, I use the orange lipstick during the day by applying it with my fingers like a balm.
5. Blush palette, it has all colors for day and night. This one is MAC x Lady Gaga Palette 3. I use the lightest tone to add a slight flush to my cheeks, and the darkest for a dramatic effect.
6. Instead of a mist and a perfume, I decided to opt for a light fragrance that will carry me from day to night. This is why I love Passenger, by ST Dupont. Its fragrance is fruity and floral, with woodsy base notes, making it the perfect perfume! 
Bonus: One thing that nobody should leave home without is a dental floss. 🙂 You wouldn’t want to be caught with food in your teeth afterall!
Thank you for reading!
