What's in my travel make up bag? (Rome)

This post has been sitting here for the past few months. Instead of deleting  it and pretending like it never happened, I thought it would be better to share it!

I always love reading these posts, I'm very excited that I can finally do one! I went for the bare minim for this trip. I left my naked plate at home and decided to give my Smashbox brown eyes palet some love and I'm glad I did. For this post I have decided on splitting it into two, of what I brought and what I ended up using. 

What I brought:

I didn't bring that much as I didn't want to over do it on the make up front as I knew I wouldn't be wearing it  during the day.

FACE
Bobbie Brown - luminous moisturizing foundation
Bobbie Brown - blush (sandstone)
Bare Vitamins - skin rev-er upper
Benefit - erase paste
Essence - fix & matte
E.L.F - cream eyeliner (black)
E.L.F - blush (mellow mauve)
Daly Face Glow -dewy glow highlighter

EYES
Giorgio Armani - brow defining pencil
Benefit - they're real! mascara
Smash Box - brown eyes palette
Urban Decay - eyeshadow primer potion (sample)

What I used

I became very minimalist with only using a foundation and some contour, it was more that we always came back to the hotel so late that I didn't have enough time to put a full face together and the mix of such a hot climate.

I decided to do a few swatches of the colours that I used from the palette which are below. I had not used it till the trip because I was so in love with my naked palette, I only brought it with me because it is more compact that the naked palette, but I have say I was seriously impressed!

I used the Vanilla as a base and brought it up to the eye brow bone, I used Wine a the contour, I used Marble  as the overall colour of lid and lastly I used Bark on the outer edge of the eye lid and blended it in with Wine.
