If you could only take 4 ES.

So if it were down to 4 e/s's, 2 lippies, and a blush - you'd be sunk, right?

LOL. I hate these kinds of questions. Besides, I bought a couple of those spiffy hang on the wall/roll up and put in your carry-on makeup bags you used to sell, so I reckon I could fit foundation, perfecting powder, Datebait, a glow or two, four or five blushes, and 25 eyeshadows or so, with room for many lippies and brushes in the pocket without taking up too much space if I brought one of those along.

That was the point, wasn't it? So we wouldn't go through these awful traumas?

Sorry, I know rhis is not what this psot was about but I'm soooo happy to read that platinum red's coming back soon!
I've had my eye on this one for a while, but due to budget restrictions I had to make tough calls during the clearance sale and I didn't get it...
Can't wait to try the new formulas

Ok, i'm definitely the odd one here... =P

I have a mad organisational streak that comes to the fore when I travel. And I dream of finding the PERFECT palette that will answer all my needs for the entirety of the journey. So you can imagine what BB's Custom Palettes are doing to me.

I usually chicken at the last minute and throw in a handful of SN shadows though... lol!

I can make do with 4 eye shadows...but anything less than 10 lippies in my bag, and I feel naked.

I thought I was the only one

Again like all the others it would change if you ask me tomorrow, but today it will be Charrmed, Poly, Elle, butterfly blue.

I think I know what you mean!
When travelling, I want to look good with the minimum amount of effort. I want a "packaged solution" ready for me in the morning, knowing how little time I have to myself. It is fun to mix and match and play with many colors, but not when you have screaming kids and an impatient husband waiting behind you! So I want to pack the most versatile shades that can serve most of my needs.

Thanks everyone for responding. I had a great time reading them.

this is one of the threads that i wanted to bump in case it helps any newbies out there...

I'm not a noob, but I'll bite.

Chiffon/Vineyard Vanilla/Chocolate Twinkle

I think I'd be upset to never wear Grassroots Green ever again, though. So I think I'd trade off Chiffon for Grassroots Green. I can always tint Vanilla with a smidge of Vineyard to make it more "purple-y".
