It is our summer series and Blog Hop called -- WHAT'S IN MY...
Have you ever wanted to know more about us and find out what we may be hiding hoarding in our storage closet at home or what we can’t live without in our handbag or make-up case - then, you will want to check out this Summer series.
In April, I talked about some of my Hair and Make-Up Revelations HERE so you have some idea what make-up I use.
I was super tickled this was my assigned prompt and I wanted to show you my favorite make up travel bag. I literally love this thing and recently wore my old one out. I was afraid I couldn't find one exactly like that one I loved but Target had an identical one, only a different fabric and print. Best part: $20!!!
It was the perfect time to do this post as Mr. Nine and I just went away for the weekend to Chicago.
The tri-fold bag with hanger for hanging in Hotel bathrooms is amazing. With 5 different compartments, you can bet I can fit everything I need and more.
The top is where I put my toothpaste, toothbrush and floss. I have a battery toothbrush at home so usually throw in a dentist issued brush that we keep a stock of from cleanings.
The middle two smaller compartments hold things like bobby pins, hair ties, nail glue and press on nails, clippers, a cough drop, small sewing kit, band-aid, pill box with ibuprofen, etc.
The zippered compartment behind the two is where I like to put my favorite travel sized face cleaner: Cetaphil, An Emergen-C pack, a travel spray perfume; I was out of Light Blue so went with Dolce, Both by Dolce and Gababa. I also throw in some kleenex, scissors, elastic headband, a nail file and tweezers.
The botton wipe off zippered biggest compartment is for the make-up. What I do is as I am getting ready for trip day after I am done with my make-up I throw my favorite pieces in this compartment. Fold it all up and snap and it fits nicely in a crevice of my suitcase.
The Make-Up products I usually fill it with. A special eyeshadow I add is "Gilt By Association" by M.A.C. It is a dark hue with gold tints and I love to use it in the outter corner creases of my eyelids for going out in the evening.

We spent last week in Chicago for our "staycation". I wish I had know you were in town! That's the perfect travel bag to stay organized and see everything. I love Nars blush and Smashbox primer!

LOVE getting a peek into your makeup bag!!! I also love seeing how people pack for travelling because I'm so guilty of over packing :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that Smashbox primer, I have a mini one I got from Ipsy but I'm gonna need a big one soon
What a fun post!!!

I used to have a similar travel make-up bag! So convenient! I'll have to look into getting another one!

I have a similiar travel bag that I've used exactly once. I'm not sure why, perhaps I travel too heavy, haha! :) Love see what you use on the daily!
ReplyDeleteI love the travel bag and wow you managed to get a lot in! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of what you travel with.
ReplyDeleteYou are so much more organized then me. I usually end up with a gallon ziploc or two full of whatever I grab out of the cabinet ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love this hanging travel makeup bag, Andrea! I have a similar one from Nordstrom (that isn't even very old!) and it is completely torn in the back. I think it's probably from stuffing it too full haha! I will need to check my Target for one. Such a fun post!

What a fun post! I love the carmex! You are super organized. I have never tried the smashbox primer, but my sister swears by it. I need to give it a try. Have a great day.
ReplyDeletewhat a perfect bag for travel- I need something like that.
ReplyDeleteI really, really need a better makeup bag for all of the trips we take. I land up putting everything in several zip pouches and I'd love to have them all in one! I need to look for this at Target the next time I go! This is amazingly organized!!!!

That bag is so perfect for travel with all the separate compartments! I love grabbing travel face washes like the cetaphil one.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a bag like that - now, I am wondering what happened to it. It was wonderful for traveling!

Love that travel bag! Mine is big and bulky and I need something new. I need to get some makeup suggestions from you - you always look so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Mr. Nine had a great weekend in Chicago! Umm, I wish I could have had this neat bag to pack with me! Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteI love that bag! I do not have one of those, I need to get one! I always have emergen c on me, it is the best.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar travel bag and it is so convenient! Love the polka dot print of yours though!
ReplyDeleteI have a similar bag and love it! Great idea to bring a packet of emergen c!!
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing what's in other people's makeup bags! Like you, I really love having a hanging organizer for all of my bathroom supplies!
ReplyDeleteI am packing mine next week!!! Lots of similar items in mine including the CG, Cetaphil, Crest, and band aids LOL! Love you sweetie!
ReplyDeleteThat travel bag is perfect! I love how it makes everything easy to find!

I need one like this! Great pack!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips and ideas for traveling with makeup & toiletries! Visiting from #TuesTalk
ReplyDeleteso many great things in your bag! love how organized you are haha. I need to get on your level :P
ReplyDeleteSold! My sister and daughter both use something like this and seeing it here has me further sold on the idea. I assume it lays fairly flat in a suitcase, too. My bag is the size of cinder block and about as fun to pack.
ReplyDeleteThat is a super bag! We all need one! Lol! Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post! I love seeing what other's carry in their bags :)

Cute bag! I love the idea of hanging it up in a hotel. I usually have a few small bags; one with toiletries, one with makeup and one with jewelry.... truth be told my jewelry bag is usually the largest!
ReplyDeleteI'm so nosey - I love posts like this!! And I too prefer a hanging bag to make it easy to store in the bathroom when I travel!
ReplyDeleteI love this bag! So many compartments - it holds everything!
ReplyDeleteEven though I love to travel, I'm a terrible toiletry packer. I just hate to do it. It's fun and inspiring to see how organized you are!
ReplyDeleteI may need to switch travel bag styles. I like mine but it's a bear to pack. Like how easy it is to find stuff in this one. Do you have a different bag for shampoo, razor, hair products etc?
ReplyDeleteSo that's the secret to gorgeous?!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thoughts of Home Andrea. We adore you. :)
I love love posts like these. I love seeing what are on people's handbags and makeup bags. That compartment makeup bag from Target is great, I need it. What is in the Nars box? I have a couple of their lipsticks but I haven't tried anything else of theirs though I want to. One of these days I will do a makeup post.
ReplyDeleteOn the off chance that you are thinking about a Cinch bag they utilize a basic rope that will get your hardware. It will give you simple access when you are prepared to take out your stuff. They are periodically conveyed like a knapsack utilizing the lines as ties. body bag
