Mini Haul: Lux & Budget Buys

I went to my local mall the other day with the intent on just picking up a YSL lipstick, however things rarely happen how we think they will. The outcome was rather tame, as I did find some good budget buys at Target and Urban Outfitters.

The Vacation Series: What Makeup & Skincare I Pack

As this post is going up I will be hundreds of feet in the sky on my way to Colorado.  I thought I would share what i would be taking with me on my trip as i have become a bit of a expert on packing. I will be in Colorado for 10 days and so I am only taking hand luggage, and nothing will be checked. Of course this does purpose certain problem like how am i gonna pack enough clothing and what makeup is gonna fit in my little quart zip loc bag. It can be done however.

My carry on bag is the LeSportsac large weekender, which is the perfect size and although it looks small fits alot. I packed 10 outfits, two hiking outfits, two pairs of heels, two pairs of sandals as well as a pair of sneakers. What didn't fit in my carryon i put in my Louis Vuitton Neverfull. This included my Rebecca Minkoff mini mac, my makeup, my liquids bag, my tablet, my camera and my neck pillow. This is my perfect airport bag as it is easy access to all my things and there is no need to zip and un zip to get ahold of things, also its massive and fits a lot of crap in there. Anyways down below is all my beauty products and skincare products i am bringing.
