I never go anywhere without my MAC 266 (here’s an ancient review from YEARS ago; don’t laugh). It keeps me from venturing into The Land of Funky Brows. And then there’s my beloved Shu Uemura lash curler, but you probably know all about that, ha ha!
How about you? 🙂 What’s the beauty tool you never leave home without?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

April 3rd, 2010 at 6:01 pmSame here…It’s like my brows would grow like weeds if I can’t find them for a week…
I try to avoid bringing expensive eyelash curler in case I squash it…

Nina says
April 3rd, 2010 at 6:05 pmI cannot leave home w/o my brow powder (I use MAC Espresso) and an old but trusty Sephora brow brush. Ive had the brush for 3 years and its the old brush design of Sephora. Theyve since made it over and I checked the new incarnation out – just aint the same. I am hanging on to this one for dear life until I can find a suitable replacement.
Cannot have bald brows in public!!!!

Toni says
April 3rd, 2010 at 6:56 pmCuticle nippers or baby size nail clippers – I use them for hangnails, which I get with annoying frequency.

April 3rd, 2010 at 7:09 pmSadly, it’s not anything cool..just plain ol’ nail clippers:) I have the annoying habit of like picking the sides of my nails till they bleed, so clipping in time saves me from bleeding all over the place:)
mkdallas says
April 3rd, 2010 at 7:16 pmPre-moistened face cleaning wipes, an bronze eye pencil and tinted moisturizer. If I forget every other single thing, at least I can clean my face, add a little color to my eyes (even without mascara, it’s better than nothing) and even out my skin color. If I forget any of those things, I’m not leaving the hotel room, lol.
Holly G says
April 3rd, 2010 at 7:38 pmFunny you should mention the Shu Uemura lash curler, because I totally left town without it (on accident of course) for the weekend, and my entire face has been suffering as a result! Haha! I know that sounds the same, but I’m rather addicted to the device.
Holly G says
April 3rd, 2010 at 7:38 pmsorry – “the same” should be “extreme” – I was talking and typing at the same time! hahaha!

April 3rd, 2010 at 7:48 pmWhen I travel i love to use refillable magnetic compacts, that way I can have all my powders in one sturdy place. That’s not exactly a tool so if we’re talking strictly tools I have a great five piece sephora brush set that’s about the size of a cell phone. it’s bangin’!

April 3rd, 2010 at 9:09 pmAHHH the MAC 266, it is one of my first MAC brushes from years ago. In general, I don’t really carry around beauty tools but if I have to pick one, I would pick my Japonesque Heated Eyelash Curler.

Rica says
April 3rd, 2010 at 11:24 pmI never leave home without my carmex, actually I do if I’m in a hurry, and I end up with chap lips at the end of the day :(. So I should say, I try my best not to leave home without my carmex. I also always keep MAC Hue lipstick with me, it’s a great colour to give you some pinkish glossy sheen.

Rica says
April 4th, 2010 at 12:08 amOH wait… it’s about Beauty Tools… I totally misread it… Though I was gonna mention my Anna Sui Lash Curler and MAC 129 SH =D. MAC 129 SH comes in handy when you wanna reapply blush or powder.
And does blotting paper counts, ’cause I do bring them everywhere.

June 10th, 2010 at 11:06 amTweezers – no contest. For everything else, my attitude is generally “if I forget it at home, I’ll just buy a new one when I get there”. And oddly, since I adopted that attitude many years – and many, many business trips ago – I’ve never forgotten anything. Of course, now that I’ve typed that, I’ll forget half my stuff on my next trip! 🙂
