What's in my cosmetics bag (April 2025!)
14
items A list dedicated to the items I keep close in my cosmetics bag to make sure I always have them when I travel. I hope you find it helpful and get some ideas for things you might benefit from having!
I haven't liked all the Tula items I've tried over the last few years, but I do enjoy this soap!
6.7 oz The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser - TULA | Ulta Beauty
I recently realized I have hooded eyelids so eye make up hasn't been as fun for me while I tried to figure this out, but this is my go-to. I love soft pinks and a little bit of sparkle!
Rose Water Bite Size Eyeshadow Palette - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This is the only mascara I use.
High Impact Mascara Duo ($39 value)
These are some of the most useful things I've ever owned. I am allergic to cats. I bought these initially to wipe my eyes down after being in a home with cats. They work like a charm! The bonus - they do a decent job at taking off eye make up.
OCuSOFT Plus Lid Scrub Eyelid Cleanser, 30CT
I bought this a couple years ago in a minty green color. This color doesn't seem to be available currently, but I would totally buy it in this color as well. I bought it because I was always using random bags to keep my things in ….and losing them al...
Sonia Kashuk™ Loaf Travel Makeup Bag - Pink
I've tried a number of Vitamin C creams and serums over the years and this is the one I've currently settled on. It's light so it goes on well under moisturizer. It has has ferulic acid which is a gold standard to pair with Vitamin C.
Timeless Skin Care Vitamin C and E Ferulic Acid Serum - 1 fl oz
I was searching for a chemical exfoliant and had been coming back to this one over and over. The price tag kept holding me back. Well, I finally bought it two years ago. I use it once a week and…I'm still using the same jar. It's currently on track t...
Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer
I received this as a gift appromimately 20 years ago. Still using the same one!! If you can swing the upfront cost, it will be a Buy It For Life product!
Classic Slant Tweezer
While my lips seem to prefer Carmex over all other things, I love lip glosses. A hint of pink is even better!
Glow Reviver Lip Oil
This is the only sunscreen I want to use on my face. It's light, it goes well under make up, and it works!
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Light Fluid Face Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 60 (1.7 fl. oz.)
Eyeliner is a tough one for my eyes, but this currently the only one I'm using and have been using for a few years.
Quickliner™ For Eyes Eyeliner
Sometimes I think I need a heavier foundation, but I really do prefer this lighter, less make up-y feel to it.
Even Better™ Makeup Broad Spectrum Foundation SPF 15
The small circle pimple focused patches I find to be largely interchangeable, but for my nose, only this one will do. It pulls a lot of gunk out of my pores without leaving an outline mark on my face in the morning.
Hero Mighty Patch Nose - 10ct
A friend just introduced this to me and it worked so well! I was able to skip washing my hair for 2 days.
Dry Shampoo: Light Hair Lavender Rosemary
