Years back I was reading a magazine and came across this 'model's secret' tip for make up on the go - storing all your make up essentials in contact lens cases.
This seriously works for anything - lipstick (just chop a bit off and bring your lip brush), concealers, foundations or even powders (though this turns out a little more messy). As you can see I used mine for my MUFE Face & Body Foundation and Garnier BB Cream, but I also already had a mini sample size of my MAC concealer otherwise that would have gone in another container.
It struck me as crazy when I was camping at Glastonbury that ladies were bringing their whole make up bags with full sized everything. No wonder their make up bags were so big! This I think works great for your handbag essentials for touch ups as well :)
This is such a great idea for a weekend away/camping! Even those travel bottles can be too big for just a couple of days away.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly it, isn't it - I hate when bottles take up so much space! This is so much more compact. My travel make up bag (including brushes) was tiny because I kept only essentials.
DeleteOh.. What a great idea!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteLove this tip :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! But seriously, people were bringing big makeup kits to Glastonbury? Eep!!
ReplyDeleteYep they totally were! I mean these were the people staying at my accommodation which was high end glamping (flushing toilets, hand creams etc in the bathrooms) so it was more warranted, but everyday I walked around the campsites and girls were in full faces of make up so they must also have brought their full kit!
