So I finally back at home, my mind at peace since my exam results are out and I pass! Yeay! I finally got to blog because my dad decided to postpone internet bill payment.
When I got back home, my parent told me that they renovating upstairs which include my room, why noww??? So I'm basically roomless, I don't have a wardrobe so my old clothes is nowhere to be found *ok, exaggerating, but I have to look for it* and I don't have a bed. Then I got my sister at home, my aunt staying for a week so I end up sleeping in my living room on a mattress... how sad is that?? *my sis took the couch* .My brother just got back, and I still have no idea when I will get my room ready, nevertheless I still happy since my room will be improved especially the toilet wall and floor ... ergghhh since my sis practically just left the room to ruin *we shared room, and last year I was shocked!*. I got to tell you that all my family are all big, so there's no way we share a bed unless it's a double.
I'm not sure if I'm jet-lagged, but I practically sleep in the day, cause I can't really sleep on the mattress, on floor. My sis always take my bro's bed *when he wasn't home yet* after my aunt wake up early in the morning and I'm not comfortable sleeping in the couch where the workers always passing, I even not that comfortable to watch the TV.. not to forget the NOISEEEE!! so basically I'm started to become stressed here and quite grumpy, especially when I am 24/7 at home and I had the awful thought of missing my rented house in Belfast only after a week getting back here...
I'm going to Seoul this 5th July so hopefully I can be calm. Thank god I'm going for a while so it should finish by then.
So let just get this post started:-
I may not fly very frequently as many beauty blogger/vlogger out there but since I started studying abroad in Belfast and as I remember in my first year here I do travel by flight *to Mainland* occasionally, through this I learn and develop interest in packing my my beauty stuff into a single 1 litre clear plastic bag. However this year I didn't fly anywhere but I am confirmed to have an annual 13 hour flight from Belfast back to Malaysia so I have to keep this kind of packing in mind.

However this year I didn't fly anywhere but I am confirmed to have an annual 13 hour flight from Belfast back to Malaysia so I have to keep this kind of packing in mind.
In general a flight back to Malaysia is not really a big deal in case of packing since I will always check in a luggage and in there you could just throw all your toiletries, skincare and makeup bags *even the ones in jumbo size* but just to be safe, some items I would like to keep with me and especially for long flight with long connecting hours, you're bound to need some beauty touch-up/refresh throughout the journey.
So for this post I will just share what exactly I stuffed into that standard airport clear ziplock plastic bag *mine is George Belfast City Airport* and probably I think I would like to try to comeup with some skincare regime during the long flights which I am so totally inspired after watching some of the famous beauty vloggers on this subject. I am diggin' in the idea of looking fabulous when you touch down.
So these is what I brought with me for my Belfast City-Heathrow-KLIA flight. These are not checked in and I brought it together with me. I changed for time to time and even for my Seoul trip I will have a different packing and I will do that as well *not sure when it will be post, if I could I scheduled sometime when I'm away, but if it's not finish I guess it has to be after I got back*
This is actually I always bring with in my bag, to class or out with friends bla bla bla... for touch-up.

| Everyday in my handbag |
I'm not really the type to bring all sorts of stuff...maybe sometimes, but basically these must be in the bag everyday.
I got my Chanel Mat Lumiere Powder Makeup compact in #80 Contour which I really like for my touch up, and love the luxurious feeling of taking out Chanel compact from your handbag *the velvet pouch* . I know I know it sounds like a bit show off.. but whatever, hehe. Now I hate the sponge applicator unless I found some disposables that will fit into the compact*fail! I couldn't find them* so I apply with Eco-Tools Retractable Kabuki, which work really fine. If only the packaging is shiny gold it would have look more sophisticated and mega-luxurious.
Then I always have a lipbalm, this one is the Nivea Repair and Protect which I totally love.
Finally definitely a lipstick which I change for time to time depending on my look. For this journey I brought the Maybelline Watershine Pure in P22 which quite a deep pink fuchsia but sheer. It does look nice but not really my style and it look's cheap at time, being shiny and all. I brought it with me for this journey because it's easy to wear, hydrating *I put it on and pat to get rid of its shiny and left with pink tint* and it's cheap so I don't mind if I lose anywhere in my journey or I had to throw stuff from my bag... and definitely this process will help me to finish it. Haha! *I have been wearing this a lot too get it finish*

| My Fluids which was in the plastic zip-lock bag |
From left:-
Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black - Black mascara is a must, and it's counted as liquid.
MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation - I love this foundation for travelling, it's full coverage and the tube packaging make's it easy to be packed into a small zip-lock bag.
The Bodyshop Crayon Concealer - This is not really my favourite, but I guess it's easy to bring and to wear and I can encourage myself to finish it. This type of makeup is tricky, it seems like a solid like a pencil but I was told that only standard pencil size are allowed to be brought freely, abnormal size like jumbo size lip/eyepencil/foundation stick/concealer is counted as fluids and has to be in the zip-lock bag.
Origins GinZing for my eyes and with it's caffeine content, it should be great to wake up the eyes after long flight.
Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Moisturizer with White Tea - An everyday moisturizer is very important for me. I would thought of putting it into smaller container but I'm not really comfortable with that and I think it's just fine in its original container.
Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash - I found this in travelling size *50ml* most cleanser are usually 150ml so this is just great to stuffed into a zip-lock bag and I think Simple do make decent cleanser. But I am still looking for ways to bring Origins cleanser...
E45 cream - I transfer some into a small pot and it's cheap so I don't mind if it's spill or whatever. I love this for my dry patches on my face, I would put it into my bag but since for a flight it's counted as fluid I put it into a zip-lock.
Dove Silk Dry Anti-Perspirant Deodorant - I definitely have to keep my pits fresh. Now I do prefer a liquid deodorant but I brought a stick thinking that it is not counted as fluids and I just stuff into my hand-luggage but I was wrong... it still counted as liquid and I had to stuff it into the zip-lock bag at the security... If that the case I should just ditch this, and just find one deodorant which is not that bulky.
Origins Brighter by Nature Serum - this is one of my regular serums, I would want to bring both but that will be too bulky so I had to choose and I brought this one because it's a smaller bottle.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunblock SPF50 - My regular sunblock, definitely very important.
Origins A Perfect World Age Defense Treatment Lotion - I've been searching for ways to bring this into the zip-lock bag. The original bottle is 150ml and previously in standard traveler bottle, it's always spill! That's annoying thinking it's a pricey toner, I almost thinking of not bringing it at all. But finally I discover the spray travelling bottle, before this I use it for my brush cleanser but then I don't see why I should do that hahaha!.. So I use the mini spray bottle for my toner, it definitely DOES NOT SPILL and plus since it's a spray, I can spray directly and I don't need to bring cotton pad. How come I never thought of this before???
PanOxyl 2.5% Aquagel - Benzoyl Peroxide gel is also important for me since I'm acne prone. I don't think I can ever be without it.
PERFUMES - Definitely important! Usually I would bring more than one perfume at least two so I can alternate in a trip. Naahhhhhh! that's not the reason, I would be suffice with only one. You know what I get annoyed by? when someone saw me putting on perfume and asking me for some?? It's not really I don't want to share, I just hate the fact we are wearing exactly the same perfume. So if someone ask for some, the least I can do is spray her the other one I wasn't wearing at the moment. Here I got small bottles of free sample which is really really great!! Now I can bring these and maybe just another bottle. The one I got here is Yves Saint Laurent Opium and Stella Mc Cartney Lily. They smell divine.
Another thing I brought is actually a mouthwash. I transfer some into small bottle but it spill after a while so I throw it before I reach Malaysia. I brought my my toothbrush but not toothpaste. So even if I brush my teeth without toothpaste at least the mouthwash still make my mouth refreshing.
For travelling I definitely kept a different bag for my non-fluids makeup and to be honest I don't think much about this packing and I put it the red makeup beg which I got from Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Set. I thought of bringing the stuff I love most especially lipstick and my lipliners... but for some reason I can't remember if those counted as fluids or not. Since I wasn't so sure I don't pack much and just put more cheap stuff like the lipsticks to be safe *note that even in my hand bag I just brought the cheap Maybelline lipstick and cheap Nivea Lipbalm*. Well all these and lipsticks are allowed and I am so totally happy for that! Definitely I will pack something else next time.

| The makeups which I kept in the red makeup bag |
The Bodyshop Traveller Brush Set - Small and easy to bring and it contain the blush brush which I use for my highlighter *not really crazy about blush, I can live without them*, standard flat applicator brush for applying eyeshadow, slanted flat brush for my eyebrows and lash line as well, and a lip brush.
Then I brought my foundation brush, the Real Techniques Stippling Brush, Elianto Blending Brush and Eco-Tools Finishing Brush from the Touch-up Set and I keep the three brushes in the same pouch from Eco Tools Touch-up set. And of course I bring my eye lash curler and this one is from Elianto.
One definitely great to be brought traveling is eye makeup pallete, it's easy to packed and have the colours you need. Mine is the MAC Warm Smokey Eyes from the Packed To Go Edition. It got great colours such as Showstopper which is a matte dark brown great for lashline and to smoke up your eye look and plus, my brows,. The they have Stormy Love which I think the frosty dark green, but it's actually dual chrome of dark green and dark brown. Others are Greensmoke (lustre tarnished olive), Tempting (lustre sinfully rich coco), Naked Lunch (frosty minimal pink with shimmer) and Shrooms (satin soft beige). So perfect for an eyelook, colours, mid tone and deep tone and highligter.
MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Deep Dark - For my contouring which I used with the finishing brush. I would forgo blusher for my contour.
Revlon Bronzer in Sunkissed - This is used to higlight my cheekbone and the bridge of my nose.
Then I brought my dark brown eyeliner, my MAC Mahogany Lipliner, a black eyeliner MAC Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline and nude pink lipliner which is the Silkygirl in Nude.
For lipstick I brought the Maybelline Watershine Pure in B24 which is a beigey pink, and one in terracotta brownish red which Revlon Colorburst in Sienna. I almost finishing the Revlon one... *foreseeing Empties post*

| Long-haul skincare |
So I would get ready as usual with makeup and all and into the plane they will serve the late dinner.
After the dinner just when everybody is going to sleep, I just went for my hand-luggage and got my zip-lock bag and facial wipes. Yes, thank god facial wipes can be brought without having to stuff it into the small zip-lock bag. The one I bring is the Nivea Daily Essentials Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes and I remove all my makeup with this. I would love it if I got something like Bioderma or cleansing water, that would be nice or at least I would bring a liquid eye makeup remover but I forgot to pack that. What's great about them is that I don't have to rinse my face which can be a pickle. This is done in my sit since I'm just too lazy to go to the toilet and I will be hogging the toilet too long if I were to do this regime in the toilet. So wipes is all I got and I just have to try to remove as much... I wouldn't really remove my mascara but just clean the messiness and smudgey it makes.
After that I spray my Origins A Perfect World Age Defense Treatment Lotion onto my face and pat it.
Follow by the Origins Brighter By Nature Serum, Origins GinZing around my eyes, and finish with my A Perfect World Moisturizer. Then if there is active acne I would put on PanOxyl 2.5% around the area. I also apply some E45 on the dry patches.
And I probably went to the toilet especially when a lot of people is sleeping so toilet is not occupied and it's not obvious that I went to the loo. In there I would also take my mouthwash and for extra step you could also brush your teeth. So I'm not really a toilet fan and I just want to go there once, so to be safe I get everything I want to do done that time including applying my deodorant.
After that, I pretty much try to sleep as much as I can, but it's hard... I can't sleep easily generally especially on vehicles. Then when I almost reach the destination, it's time getting ready again.
Hmmm if I really fall asleep when I woke up I would just wash my mouth again and probably brush my teeth,
but I didn't so I just get on with the day.
I would start to touch up my face. If I'm tooo conscious I would go and apply my liquid foundation a bit and change my clothes bla bla bla... but I'm not.
So I would just apply my Chanel Mat Lumiere Powder Makeup with the brush, but since I put on the drying acne gel and I have to remove that first. So I would just remove the acne gel by wetting my face and wipe it, I can just went to the toilet to wet my face, use my toner or just use the facial wipes. Then put on some more my moisturizer and definitely my sunblock. Before the powder makeup I apply some of the Bodyshop Crayon Concealer especially under the eye. I finish of the look with coats of black mascara, and if want to smudge some brown eyepencil or eyeshadow on the outer corner. Then the lipbalm and lipstick.
FINALLY, fresh sprays of perfume.
And that will be all.
Well I got to say, that if I didn't get to do these in the plan, I would go to a toilet as soon as I get off the plan.
SO hopefully this post will help those that will be on a trip and going to be on a long flight.
