My Home for the Holidays Makeup Bag!

Hi, everyone! I absolutely cannot believe that today is Christmas Eve! The weather here in Ontario has been incredibly warm for the season (yesterday was almost 60F/15C), so it hasn't felt like Christmas outside. Luckily, my parents' house is decorated to the nines, so there's definitely been a festive feel inside. I'm lucky enough this year to be spending a full nine days with my family in my hometown, which has so far been brimming with baby snuggles and baked goods. Can't ask for much more! Given that I'd be away for over a week, I did pack a pretty epic makeup bag this year, so I thought I'd share with you what I brought along!

Yeah, so as you can see, I didn't really pack light this year. But if there's a time to be a little colourful and frivolous, it's the holidays!!

How do you pack for the holidays? Are your suitcase and makeup bag packed to the brim or do you travel light? What are your plans for the holidays?

I want to extend a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of my friends and readers. I hope your festive season is filled with everything wonderful that you've been wishing for! xoxox

  2. So many gorgeous tones!

    I'm definitely a light packer when it comes to makeup - I don't really wear a base, I'm happy with one lipstick and I usually just go for eyeliner and mascara if I'm away.

  8. I'm going to crack and get the Dolce Vita at some point I think. I used to think it was too similar to Vintage Vamp.. but... uh... they're not IDENTICAL...

    Currently still lusting over that H&M blush... and now that Marc Jacobs palette...
