So the time has come! My brother and his lovely fiancé are getting married in Malta on Friday so we're off on a week long holiday today (I'll most probably be in the air as you read this). My first holiday abroad in almost 4 years (our Honeymoon being the last time), and I've been stressing over what to pack for weeks. Going abroad is stressful enough, but this time I've got a toddler and a 9 week old baby to pack for aswell - milk, bottles, sterilising equipment and a MASSIVE amount of nappies means I really have to be tight on what I take for myself. I sat down with a little list on my phone of the essential makeup items I'd need and then went through my stash and picked the most travel friendly items, as well as some special bits that I just couldn't leave behind. Being bridesmaid means my makeup needs to be on point on the day, as well as being able to withstand the heat for a long day without being overly heavy.

This is a very nicely condensed makeup bag for a week away with wedding involved :) I can imagine how hard is to pack with such a small baby who needs way more than two adults! Have a lovely time in Malta! x

I think you've done pretty well! I went for a week away in Wales and had to take most of my blush collection even though we spent most of the time in the house/on the beach where makeup wasn't really required! Addicted much? Anyway, I hope you have a lovely holiday, enjoy!

Hi Kate, sorry not spoke for a while. Wow..you're a bit like me, don't travel light when it comes to beauty. Mine is more skincare usually for holiday but, you want your make up right being a bridesmaid. How cool, I hope you have a lovely week in Malta and the wedding goes to plan.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to some pretty pics.
