Makeup Swap Out (It Was Past Time For Some New Travel Makeup!)

 Hey Y'all!

While in NE Tennessee this last time, I took the opportunity to swap out all the makeup that travels with me, I was ready to switch things up since I hadn't done it the past few times.

Here's the only picture I took of everything before:

I had purchased the Turtles palette in Ohio, and really like it! That, plus a few other purchases, did put this case at over capacity during this trip, and so I'm taking far less this go 'round.

In retrospect, I should have at least attempted to film this, especially since I haven't posted to my YouTube in several months... I didn't think about that until I finished of course. Maybe soon I'll get something posted over there.

As I was pulling things out- of both the case and my collection- I realized some of these things I'd had a really long time. Thus started my side quest to see exactly how old the things I was questioning were. So, I found an app (free, android) and got to entering batch numbers....

 Most things were okay, but that Benefit Porefessional got tossed immediately! There were a few other very old things, and they too got put in File 13.

File 13 is a euphemism for the trash can. The phrase is especially used in the U.S. military, and is less common outside of the United States.

Once my side quest was complete I returned to choosing "new" makeup to take with me. While I did fill the case, all my brushes fit in here as well, which wasn't true before.

I'm just taking one primer, powder, and setting spray, and a few lip sticks/glosses. I have 3 mascaras open, so I opted to bring them all- the Purple Colourpop, and the two from Creme. I am also bringing more highlight, and blush options, but less eyeshadow.

Far more face palettes this time, but less makeup overall:

Even though I'm not a big singles fan, I threw in these Muppets Colourpop shadows at the last minute:

The case it all fits in, this vintage green hardcase I got a a thrift shop.

It used to hold my Sizzix embossing folders, but they're packed away in the storage unit, and this case was perfect for vanlife makeup!

Mine is a good primer with SPF!

Have a great day,
