the packing list for this long weekend.
makeup I’m travelling with
ah, travelling, going away, dancing, laughing, being surrounded by great people and not a care in the world.
but first, packing. and THAT is always a meltdown.
I don’t care how Marie Kondo I try to go on my luggage, I always feel like I’m packing too much but I’m still leaving so many essentials behind. am I alone in this? please please say no…

keep in mind the prices/currency exchange and links were the ones available at the moment of this post, trying to use whenever possible the LookFantastic website as reference.
my calculations are simplistic and do not take into account the markup of sample/travel-size packaging:
(full size price ÷ full size amount) × sample amount
Cover FX Power Play foundation
An up close and poresonal on another really hyped foundation. The list of claims is long and full of everything one can wish for. Was it worth it for me? Check out the video and see what my impressions were.
Where to buy it: if you don’t have access to U.S. Sephora or a local Cover FX counter, you can find it online at Cult Beauty, Beauty Bay and Feelunique.

bronzers for olive skin
not all bronzers are created equal. these are some of my favourite, from all price ranges, textures and a couple of finishes, that agree with my light-medium olive complexion.
Primark beauty haul
Severely enabled by the rave reviews from the Full Coverage Podcast cool gals to the K Pop beauty collection from Primark, I had to drop by and try some things out.
