There's no worse feeling than traveling for a trip and realizing that you left your makeup sitting on your bathroom counter or by the door. After all, most of the time when we travel, we're going to places where we want to wear our makeup. So what do you do?!  Hit up your local Walmart, Target, or drugstore and pick up the 4 items below--crisis averted! Here's what to grab when you leave your makeup behind: Note: I believe the Hard Candy palette is only available at Walmart, but this gives you an idea of what to look for!

1. Hard Candy Eyeshadow Palette - this is an awesome deal for only $8!  The palette has 9 different shades of eyeshadow, an eyeshadow primer, and an eyeliner!  You can't beat the deal.  The eyeshadow has good pigmentation and is a very close dupe to the Too Faced Natural Eyes palette, which is much more expensive.  It also comes with what I consider a throw-away makeup brush, but it will work in a pinch!  This palette is also available in Sultry Eyes (pinks) and Smokey Eyes (purples). 

2. L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Foundation- this is my go-to foundation on a daily basis anyways!  It has great coverage, especially if you tend to use a concealer--just apply a little extra foundation to those areas as the coverage is buildable.

3.  L'Oreal Voluminous False Lashes Mascara- once again, this is a go-to in my makeup bag anyways.  This mascara is just as good as some of the more expensive brands in my book!  I love everything from the Voluminous line, but this one is my favorite of them all. 

4. L'Oreal Glossy Balm Lip Color- This lip color is a cross between a lip balm and a lip stick, so it's a great combo product.  Also, you may notice that I don't have a blush listed, and that's because this product pulls double duty!  After you've put it on your lips, dab it on the apples of your cheeks and rub in good.  Done!

The best thing about these products is no only do they satisfy your immediate need for quick and cheap makeup, but they're good quality and can be worked into your existing makeup lineup!  So you didn't "waste" any money by picking up cosmetics that you'll never use again:)
