I have 2 bags from Sonia Kashuk and a metal train case plus a few more smaller bags for my purse or back pack. When I visit my mom or relatives I use one of my sonia kashuk bags. I tend to over stuff them a bit because I like to give myself options when traveling. I only use the train case if I am going to an anime convention and I need to do makeup for myself and sometimes my friends for their cosplays. I put all my favorite brushes into a brush roll with my guards (love those things). I bring some single shadows and 1-3 palettes depending on the character being cosplayed. I also bring glitters, lots of blush and contour powders.

I have a tiny little bag that I got from Ulta on sale- literally $4- and I keep blotting sheets, pressed powder, a mini brush, lip gloss, lip balm, and a hard perfume. I also keep extra advil, eye drops and money in it!

I carried around a black leather messenger back everyday and in it carry a little mesh pouch that I carry around a seperate powder, bronzer, duo-fibre and eyebrow brush with me everywhere. As far as makeup, I have another little black bag in there that I keep a brown/taupey liner by L'oreal, touch up concealer by Dermablend, a tinted moisturizer by Neutrogena, a mattebronzer (which is actually just a darker pressed powder by Milani), a loose mineral powder by Neutrogena, a chapstick and a Mario Badescu setting spray. I know it sounds like a lot, but it honestly takes up hardly any space in my bag! For a time I used to have to have to work til like 10 pm on Saturdays and if I wanted to keep my social life I had to get ready at my work desk while taking calls. My ex-fiance also had to move an hour and a half outside of the city I lived in so for awhile I would head there right after work on Thursday and Friday nights and didn't have extra time to get ready = \ Also, after a few instances of losing or even just forgetting a few things at work that I used everyday at home that were very pricey ($45.00 MUFE HD /$50.00 DiorSkin LP I am talking to you) became too much of a hassle so I invested in a travel set from Sigma that was on sale and found inexpensive but equal alternatives to some makeup products that I wouldn't hate myself for losing or leaving at work by accident and could easily pick up at Ulta, Walgreens or Walmart on my way to a nightclub, the fiance/friends' house, or even when I am out of town.

I have a cute bag from Target ( it was one of their beauty bags filled with samples) that I keep in the car. Its tiny , but its big enough for some eyeshadow , lipgloss , concealer , bronzer,and mascara . This way , if I am running late one morning, I can still put on some makeup

I can get virtually anything I want to take with me in my brush roll. (It's an e.l.f. one I've had since I bought one of their brush sets years ago.) I've got room for nine brushes, and there are zip pockets on either side where I can put makeup products.

i have a medium sized vera bradley bag i carry my makeup in and keep it in my purse. it has everything in it that i use for my every day look, & then some random "in case" products. pretty much the only thing i use everyday that i dont carry with me is my foundation. its honestly pretty unnecessary for my to have it all with me, lol. but whatever!

If I'm out I'll take whatever make-up I used with me (usually concealer, powder, eyeliner, mascara and lip balm) but I don't put it in a make-up case, its just loose in my bag. Every time I change bags, the bag seems to be getting bigger and I really have to dig deep to find anything in it. Maybe getting a little pouch to put make-up in is a good idea!

I use NYX's "Carry all, Beauty bag" for the stuff that I use everyday. Like it says, it carries everything you need! But the rest of my stuff is kept safe in my MUA train cases from NYX. xx

When I go out, I either use my princess peach case, or my mario hat case for my makeup. The mario hat is smaller, so I use that one when I'm not wearing much makeup. Both of my makeup cases are actually nintendo DS cases, but I was like "nope" and I put my makeup in them haha!

When traveling - due to TSA regulations - I take foil packets when I can of products. Shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, moisturizers, facial wash... for whatever reason TSA does NOT count those items in foils as they do liquids in bottles. I do keep all the foils in a different TSA approved ziploc bag, apart from my liquids in bottles, and not once have I been denied taking it on a plane (because you're technically limited to one TSA approved bag per person). The best thing about it because each foil tends to be a one-time use only I'm not bringing that stuff back with my from my trip so I have room for other stuff I buy. lol

I take three different - small - make up bags. In one bag I pack things like my toothbrush and I put the TSA bag with liquids in that bag. In a second bag the foils and makeup brushes. In the third my cosmetics and I take sample size cosmetics (got to love sample box subscription companies like Birchbox, MyGlam, Beauty Army, etc). Anything mini goes with me - mini mascara, mini eyeliner, mini lip gloss, mini lip stick. For IMATS I took with me samples from Glamour Doll Eyes so I wasn't lugging around eyeshadows that could break. The only large item I took with my was my blush, even my mineral foundation and powder I transferred enough into smaller containers.

I kinda plan it around my outfits. If I'm going summer hot, I usually just take some powder, concealer and a few pigments along with mascara, primer and eyeliner. If I'm going somewhere that my make up wont melt off, I usually take a rectangle case fill it with little odds and ends then take a few bigger pallets that won't break. It's terrible trying to decide what to bring.

Usually take one of my cosmetic bags u can find in any shop. :)
I take 1 of every, 1 mascara, 1 blush, 1 liner... That's it.

I have a Clutch-sized ThirtyOne bag with hot pink ruffles :) I keep at least three kinds of lipstick and two eyeshadow palettes on me at all times, plus the brushes to use them. I have to leave the foundation and everything else at home...but I find myself slipping nail polish into my bag all the time.
