Just a quick heads up that this will be my last post for this month, as I will be flying out to New York tomorrow and returning at the end of September.
It'll be my first overseas trip, not counting sparse visits back to the homeland, so I'm hoping that a) I won't die on the plane (or other modes of transport) b) I won't get food poisoning or robbed or lose important stuff c) I won't get lost — unlikely, since I have no sense of direction and can't read a map to save my life d) my legs won't fall off from walking too much and general lack of fitness e) I won't bankrupt myself in Sephora. It doesn't help that I've unexpectedly caught some kind of bug in the past couple of days that may or may not get worse once I get there.
Internet access will probably be patchy at best, so I'll look forward to catching up on all your posts when I get back. Normal blogging to resume in October. No doubt, unless a horrible circumstance befalls me, I will be back with at least one major haul post.
I'll leave you with a picture of what I'm bringing in my makeup bag. I think I've been uncharacteristically moderate. Let's hope I can say the same for the return trip.
I'm extremely jealous of you! I hope you have an amazing time! Hopefully you will buy a lot of cheap goodies whilst over there!
ReplyDeleteAWWW but September's barely begun... no more posts :(
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, SO excited for you! NEW YORK NEW YORK- omgosh don't go too crazy in Sephora (I know the feeling, I was planning the finances for a trip back to Singapore and decided I would have to allot a ridiculous amount to Sephora shopping alone). Your makeup stash looks rather small- good work on the handful of lip products you've picked! Safe travels and have a great time! xx
Also, SHOCKED that you chose Becca Gilt over Bad to the Bronze! :P
DeleteI actually included Essence Pas Des Copper but I forgot to photograph it! The Becca was just a random inclusion - I never ended up using it :p I didn't use any of the lip products either. Basically no time to do makeup in the mornings anyway. I basically put together crappy items that would withstand being tossed around and that I wouldn't be too devastated to lose altogether :p I definitely went a little wild in Sephora - but all up I think I did okay...by an addict's standards lol!
DeleteI think you're bringing everything you need :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your haul :D
Wow lucky! I really want to go to New York one day! I like the things you've chosen to take with you, I'm really bad at cutting down my make up bag on trips away! x
ReplyDeleteI am so so soooooooooo jealous of you! Have fun and stay safe. I can't wait what you Haul back from the US!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're so lucky! I've never been to the states^^ hope you have a safe trip and enjoy yourself :)

ReplyDeletewhich part of NY will you be staying? ;)
Haha, so true! :) I stayed in Midtown - I think? Lol, it was about 5 min walk to Grand Central :D
DeleteHave a fun time in NY! Please DO hoard in Sephora - looking forward to your reviews! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a brilliant time, you lucky girl!

Best wishes for safe travels :) Can't wait to see your haul posts when you return! Those little nail clippers are adorable!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels and have a great time there! NYC is such a unique city. :)
ReplyDeleteI am now ultra jealous !!! have fun in NY!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff you are taking with you! Have a great time in NY - I know it's my absolute favourite place in the world. You will bankrupt yourself in Sephora, or you will if you are like me and keep justifying it because it's cheaper in US money. Have an amazing time!!

Have fun in New York girl!

Hope you have fun and a safe trip! Take care, I'll miss your frequent posts a lot <3 And how do you like the Missha bb cream? Actually...i'll just assume it's awesome cause it's in your travel makeup stash. I've been trying to figure out which one I should get or if I should get a nice foundation...still having a debate :P Anyways, enjoy your trip and you are given permission to go crazy at sephora and the US drugstores ;D LOL.
ReplyDeleteoh yea, I also have a ridiculously bad sense of direction, i think it's just easiest to ask if you're lost - it always save me so much more time and i don't need to walk as much! hahaha XD
DeleteIt's a nifty product but I included mostly because it's the only foundation I have in a travel size (20ml here, I think). But most of the stuff I brought on my trip wasn't the "best of the best" - it was seriously things I wouldn't mind losing or that I brought because of size/travel constraints. I think you decided on a Chanel foundation in the end? I opted for NARS Sheer Glow for my high end foundation purchase there, but I really did want to get a Chanel one too. But when I decided to buy it, my shade was unavailable. I think for the best :p And you're right - asking is definitely the way to go. It saves so much time and is so quick to get the right answer!
Deletehow exciting! i'm so envious, i love NYC, like in love butterflies in the stomach cant wait until i visit(or move there) kinda love lol. i do hope you enjoy yourself there and why not indulge, you're on vacay ;-P safe travels!
ReplyDeleteHope you have an amazing time in New York! We will miss your posts till you return!

ReplyDeleteHave an amazing trip!! :) You're going to have a great time and if you end up spending a little too much or bringing home too many beauty products (if that's even possible!) then just relish in it because you can! :) Can't wait to read all about it when you get back!

I hope you had a safe trip, I'm sure you will have the time of your life! I on the other hand would love to see you come home with more make up, I love holiday hauls :)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, have a great trip/journey/stay! And, may I say this is one moderate makeup bag for an overseas trip! I admire you. I usually go away on weekends and take three times as much as you do LOL See you on October! xx
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip. New York is awesome! I love NYC! Take care!
ReplyDeleteoo new york! that's where i live ;DDD i hope you have a great trip here!
ReplyDeletedon't worry, you won't get mugged or anything...i feel the media portrays ny as a place where people are all thieves and whatnot. as long as you're not flashy and don't look like a tourist, you'll be fine :D and omgosh, sephora. i have to force myself to stay away from there D:
nice products! so neat!! :DD
