Color Me Pretty: Make Up Travel Kit

February 23, 2011

Hellooooo color! My favorite accessory to pair with a clean and simple neutral toned dress is a bright splash of colorful makeup. Lately I have been really enjoying some subtle (but bright) pink blush, a soft nude eye with mascara, and rich pink lips. It is a fun doll-like youthful look that goes with just about anything.

My favorite killer find has been this makeup set from Cameleon. It isn’t a fancy expensive kit, but boy does it have a lot of color in the convenience of one stylish package. What has surprised me the most is how great the color applies! Usually inexpensive makeup kits lack pigment, but this has been beyond my expectations. The lip glosses included look exactly like the color when applied to the lip, too. I love it!

Sets like this make me want to experiment, so late at night before I wash up for the night I like to dable in color and see what I discover. Some looks are winners, some need some work but I get a feel of what I want to do for another day. Then I wash up and go to bed with a clean face and lots of inspiring ideas to go to bed dreaming about.

Because this is an inexpensive find, it is the perfect travel companion. The size and packaging are perfect, too. You never know what will happen when you are away from home, and there is nothing like that feeling of “Oh no! I have that color at home, I wish I brought it with me” when you are getting ready to go out. Kits like this are a life savor in these incidents. You are always prepared!

As you can see I have already been playing with this kit (I couldn’t wait!). I’m so happy with it, it is a no worries all fun little gift. With a kit like this there is never an excuse not to be looking your best. I’m already tempted to buy another so I’ll always have on on me (one at home and one in my travel bag).

Be sure to use your own brushes. Keep in mind that the brushes included in kits (any kit, even super expensive compacts and kits- doesn’t matter) are pretty much for emergency use only. You want to have your own set of brushes that you take care of (yes, shampoo and condition your brushes, too!). The felt-like brushes that are usually included in kits are notorious for absorbing everything (icky germs/bacteria included) so you don’t want to be reusing them on a regular basis.

Having a nice set of brushes makes your make up go further, too. Application is better and the overall quality of your make up experience is all the more beautiful. Using the right tools is part of the look. And it makes colors like these work at their best!

  1. That palette is huge! I’ve been so tempted to purchase a palette like this one, but I’m worried that it would take me far too long to use.
