Trusty Travel Essentails

So whenever I am going out or travelling I usually carry a small makeup bag just in case i need to refresh or in case of emergencies, and i never regret it! I am usually one of those people who has a Mary Poppins type of bag and that friend you go to if you need something that you wouldn't contemplate bringing yourself. These are a few things i find always come in handy.

To begin the makeup bag I use for travel is a Ted Baker bag, I couldn't find the link to this actual design so this is a link to the selection of wash and makeup bags on their website. I like this bag because it is not too big but is spacious enough to hold everything i need, i like the design and it is also waterproof just in case of any leakages, we've all been there. 

Makeup

I like to carry a range of makeup with me as I usually need to touch up throughout the day or just in case my plans change and I need to make myself look presentable. The most important product for me is a powder as I have oily skin and tend to get quite shiny. I prefer to use a press powder when travelling rather than a loose powder one as I find it tricky using a loose powder on the go and it usually ends up all over my lap or the floor. I also like to carry a concealer to touch up any spots or blemishes, some sort of bronzer or blusher, an eyeliner,mascara and a lip product...or five.

Shine Absorbing Sheets

Another item that is very handy when it comes to shine is the Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets. These are very simple and quick to use and allow you to dab away excess oil and keep your makeup intact. 

Miniatures
It is very useful to carry travel size products with you as they make things much easier instead of having to carry around huge products that weigh a ton and you simply don't have room for. I personally like a carry travel size hand cream, hairspray for any loose or flyaway hairs and perfume because you always need to smell nice!

Bits and Bobs
Some other little bits I like to have to hand are tissues, plasters, tablets, clips, bobbles and some floss. 

So that was a few nifty things I always take with me, is there anything you find useful when out and about?
