With 2024 upon us, many are already mentally preparing to take the trip we’ve been waiting for since we added the destination on our vision boards. We have our outfits planned and our flights booked. This leads to one final question: what are we bringing in our makeup bag?

One of my favorite toxic traits is that I always buy new beauty products for trips, even though my makeup collection is vast. What can I say? If I’m going to a new location, I need new makeup. So if you’re anything like me, and you enjoy the extra dopamine from a Sephora haul, or someone who needs a few makeup items that TSA won’t throw away, we’ve got you covered.
