    Hello Görl, I really don`t know, why I love watching you so much. See I am a guy in Germany, who never wears any make up, some of the stuff I have never heard of since we don`t have too many Sephoras here. And I am pretty low maintenance, too. If I would go to NY for 4 days, I would have a bag of the size of your rred make up back - in total, including clothes. Anywhosies. I love yer and always will.

      I also refuse to check luggage! I was watching this going, "How is she gonna get that through TSA??" and then realized checked luggage still exists lol
      While I loved watcing this video, this is so not me when I travel. I have learned that I'm way happier with less items to cart around and keep track of. I also do the least/laziest makeup on vacation because I just can't be bothered. So, I pack the bare minimum, which for me is skin tint, setting powder, one blush, a lippie that matches that blush, mascara, and setting spray. If I add anything like in a 'just in case moment', it's maybe an eye liner and one sparkly topper 'one and done' type of eye shadow (like a Super Shock).

    @forecastjanna9229 4 дня назад +9

    It's good that Theresa packs a lot of stuff or else we wouldn't have this long video. 😂 Meanwhile I am more minimalist myself when it comes to packing. I put my shampoo, hair spray and shower gel in small travel bottles and I try to pack makeup with usually two options. (For longer holidays) Like 2 blushes, 2 highlighters, 2 small eyeshadow palettes, 2 mascaras (waterproof and normal)... Some I take one of each. Like bronzer, eye pencil, eyeshadow primer, perfume etc. For lip products I just chuck in whatever I feel like. But it's usually not more than 6 - 8. All of these take only one big makeup bag.

    • @AmandaMcCarterWrites

    @katieharris7219 4 дня назад +2

    Welcome to Overpackers Anonymous. So glad I'm not alone, and judging by the comments, there are many of us monsters out there! I understand you, my Garbage Queen. It is so difficult to choose which babies to bring and which ones to leave behind. You don't want to hurt any of their "feelings" by not being selected, or worse, chosing and then having to reject it (or replace it 😧 ((the horror!)) for something else). I have a Libra son who has absolute panic paralysis when he has to make decisions... its not just being dramatic--the struggle is real!! I've always internalized personalities on all of my inatimate things. I think it is a byproduct of so many movies and books I consumed as a child where objects (toys, stuffies, etc.) would come to life when their owner was asleep or otherwise not around. Or perhaps it is because of being picked last for stuff as a kid due to my size and lack of athletic prowess, I don't want anyone to feel that kind of soul-crushing pain, real or imagined. Regardless, it is a feeling that's been with me since forever, and now in my late 40s, I don't see it changing. Ever. And that's ok because I know I'm in good company.😊
    A word on fragrances: I know I've said this before in comments, but don't sleep on Kayali's scent, Lovefest Burning Cherry. I think I may like it even more than Tom Ford's Lost Cherry. And i adore Lost Cherry! Lovefest is my absolute favorite Kayali fragrance by far. I also enjoyed Pistachio Gelato--until Snif's Heal the Way came along. I think it is a far superior pistachio scent: sweet and creamy, but far more sophisticated with a sexy undercurrent that you don't get from the Kayali. I think you'd really enjoy both of those! ❤❤❤

    Your choice of bringing eleventy serums is totally justified. What better way to enjoy a holiday trip than to bring all your lush skincare and makeup. You never know what you'll be in the mood for!!! That Singe Beauty brush case is Japanese-stationery-level kind of genius. Girl, what happened to your Rare Beauty highlighter is bound to happen to very finely milled baked formulas :( It makes so much sense that you're packing your stuff in separate puffer bags because that's extra cushioning for your items while in transit. Girl, you are so born ready for the apocalypse. 💯 Super enjoyed this one!!!!

  • @BlingyBea
    @BlingyBea 4 дня назад +2

    You crack me up, I need a suitcase just for my makeup/skincare bags and another one for my clothes and shoes and I thought I was the only one. I don’t see how anyone can pack a backpack with all their stuff and go on a 10 day trip.

  • @Shanalikeanna
    @Shanalikeanna 4 дня назад +1

    I got so excited when I heard you say you're giving Kayali another chance LOL. I currently have the rock sugar, pistachio, and I think the other one is called wedding silk something...idk but they're all so good. Just a heads up with the pistachio one, I see a lot of them are more brown than green (including mine) due to the vanilla scent in it. So if you get it and it's brown don't freak out like I did.
    Also I wouldn't mind an updated makeup bag video...
    Have a good trip to NY!

    I get the puffy bag-in-bag system to keep your makeup items safe, and packing the items you need to feel comfortable. ❤That little bag for the brushes that stays open and wide open is awesome. Curious to see how your whole travel packing works--can we see how to fit your makeup/ hair items in your luggage with clothes and shoes and everything else you are bringing along?

    This was fun to watch and i would never pack that amount of stuff, i'm too lazy 😂 maybe you can make a video unpacking and mention what you really used? That would be fun also.
    That being said, i don't believe Alex needs room for clothes, he can layer up what he needs to take with him. Sure he will look like the Ghostbusters ghost but if it's in the name of love, it will be fine 😂
    Have a great time! ❤

    I take products that are almost gone for the same reason 😂

    Yes, insane like you! 😂 You need variety when you go on vacation - or else you'll have to buy it once you get there!

    redness serum recommendation: the prequel one! has been very very effective and useful to me

    I am also a monster when packing, so this was very reassuring!
