Travel Makeup Bag - My Mother's!

I always find it interesting to see what other people take with them when they go on holidays!

This is what my mother will bring with her - makeup wise - when she goes overseas to travel for about a week. This is much pared down from what she would bring if she was going for a month or more.


So this is her makeup case that I gave her. It is from Avon.

Here is what it looks like inside:

 The contents:

First off - Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDP perfume, 50mL

I purchased this for myself and I got allergic to it so I gave it to my mother. She LOVES it and has a back up! :)

Very awesome perfume. I love the smell... so sad I cannot use it!

Avon eyeshadows

- highly pigmented
- value for money
- blendable
- mom has a back up of this as well!

 There are eight shades in this neutrals pallete:

 My mother's fave foundation

Avon Beauty Age Transforming Liquid Foundation
in Almond, 30mL

- she gets compliments all the time about her skin! It is thanks to this!
- has a pump
- AU$49.95 a bottle
- blends
- anti-aging benefits (apparently)
- my mother is almost 50 yo & people still think she's only about 30 yo! Is this one of her secret weapons? ;)

Mom introduced me to this eyebrow pencil. It has since become my holy grail as well!

She has backups of this too & so do I!

It is... Australis Eyebrow Pencil in Light Brown

My mum's holy grail eyeliner pencil is Prestige Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner in Sepia
I introduced this to my mom & she loves it because it does not smudge or run on her.

Swatches
Left: eyebrow pencil
Right: eyeliner pencil

Does this look familiar?
It is the Rimmel Airy Fairy Lipstick

Remember me complaining about the smell? Yea - I can't stand it. But my mother doesn't mind the smell and thinks it smells nice!! The shade looks lovely on her too! :) Awesomeness...

Swatches

Avon Naturals Lipbalm in Strawberries and Cream

Nivea Visage Anti-Wrinkle Q10 Day Cream with SPF15


I plan to post what I am bringing with me when I travel. However, I can't make up my mind what to bring! -_-


What do you bring when travelling?

Christian Dior - Dior Addict Ultra Gloss #227 Beige Tweed 6.3ml/0.21oz Review & Swatches!

So I got this recently! :) I have been enjoying these glosses! The other shades I have are in a post here and here.

 Swatches:

Where can I purchase it?
Anywhere that stocks Christian Dior cosmetics (eg. MYER, David Jones, Sephora etc).
Prices for high end makeup in Australia is INSANE!
I purchased mine online at Strawberrynet Cosmetics here.

How much was it?
I got mine for AU$28 online (as you can see in the link I provided above)! Such a great price because they retail in Australia for so so much more! :)

How is the packaging?
Love! I think it will be hard to lose this lipgloss! Like the others, it looks better than your average drugstore lipgloss!

Is it pigmented?
No, not really IMO, but as you can see from the swatch there is colour - when you smooth it out on your lips it adds a hint of colour but you can definately layer it! :)

Overall rating for this particular shade?
3.5/5
