If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter (both @eeenricaaa, so is Snapchat), you may notice that I’m currently in New York.  I’m visiting a friend here and it’s quite exciting to be back in one of my favourite city.  I’m really looking forward to explore NYC and, well, EAT!

I’m not the type of person that travel light when it comes to my makeup.  This time, though, I really tried to condense it and only bring stuff I would actually use on this trip.  If there’s anything I need though, there will be a Sephora nearby XD.  So let’s take a peek into my travel makeup bag before I pack it.

Looking at the list, it might seem like a long list.  I guarantee you, all of the above, plus my skincare, fit into my makeup bag with room to spare.  I do find myself not using eyeshadow as much because I’m always running late lol.  But I’ll try to use it when we go out for a nice dinner.
