haha I’m glad you agree MAC is really great. I used to strictly only use their products but my sister has forced me to broaden my horizons. I’m going to check out this primer though! Sounds very promising.

Ain’t no shame in filling in your eyebrows while backpacking. I do mine to go to the grocery store! Riga is a small city and I run into the same people all the time. I use a lot of MAC products, they are great! I’ve also become addicted to Cover FX Mattifying Primer with anti-acne treatment. It works better than anything else I’ve tried! It doesn’t contain sunscreen, but I take care of that with CeraVe day lotion. I have very sensitive skin and this stuff has been a miracle!

Oooh, now I’m going to have to check out this travel palette as we seem to have extremely similar tastes in makeup! And I burned the shit out of my face snorkeling in Malaysia so I completely agree- use more sunscreen on those days

haha well it still usually takes me less than 5 minutes to do my makeup in the morning so it’s not as much dedication as it seems

You should try it! It’s not 100% effective, but it has helped me look less like a greasy disaster day after day!

I’ve heard really good things about Paula’s Choice so I might have to try that when my Murad runs out!

Nice list! I can’t live without Paula’s Choice Shine Stopper. I have incredibly oily skin and it’s the only thing that’s worked for me–ever. I’m usually a huge skeptic when it comes to beauty products (and well, everything) but this stuff is a miracle worker! And no, I’m not in any way affiliated with the company lol.

It sounds like I need Murad primer in my life because my skin is so oily, but the one that is usually fine at home (Maybelline’s Baby Skin) does not work with Medellin, at all. My face is usually a big greasy mess at the moment. My make up is pretty minimal as it looks like a child has done if I go OTT, but it’s nice to have a few basics to pep yourself up.

I’m impressed by your dedication to beauty! When I’m traveling, I’m lucky if I add eyeliner to the mascara/sunscreen combo I’m dedicated to.

I love these kinds of posts! I am also a huge fan of Murad Primer for my super oily, acne-prone skin! I love that it has sunscreen so I don’t have to bother (usually) with additional sunscreen on my face (unless I’m snorkeling in Panama and burn my forehead). I also use the UD Eyeshadow Primer and the Studio Fix compact. Great minds think alike! For eyeshadow and blush, lately I’ve been loving Urban Decay’s On The Run travel palette. It has everything I need and I love the colors. I’m definitely going to check out the UD setting spray. Thanks for sharing!
