Sometimes I spend the night in a bed that is not mine. Late nights that turn into mornings, weekends away, whatever it is, sometimes you know that you’ll be spending this night away from the comfort of your own home.

But just because you’re out for the night doesn’t mean that you can’t look nice the next day. Here’s what I bring when I’m packing an overnight bag.

Skincare Stuff

Makeup wipes

I get a lot of these as freebies or gifts with purchase, and it’s easier than hauling around a whole pack of these. If I know that I’m only gone for one night, the single use ones are just smarter.

Acure Day Cream

This is my favorite moisturizer right now. It makes my skin look extra perky, and is a thick, luxurious cream. I won’t leave without it.

Harvey Prince Liquid Loofa

This is actually a body wash, but from experience I've learned that it's a great face wash. It takes off every bit of makeup and is exfoliating while still gentle.

Makeup Stuff

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye

Mine’s a travel-size, so it’s itty bitty tiny. Even though this says it’s for undereyes, it works as an all-around great concealer, so I feel confident only taking it whenever I’m heading out. I also find that this concealer works best when you blend with your fingers, so it’s even better for on the go.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB

This is another great all-around product. It’s got SPF, makes your skin look great, and is available at a drugstore near you. It does smell a little strange, but it works. It is sheer, so it’s best for a light makeup or no-makeup-makeup kind of day. I love it, but my skin has been great recently, so I can use something a little lighter. Regardless, I recommend finding something that you can stick in your bag that applies easily.

Sephora Face Brush

This is the only brush I bring, and it’s been my favorite for forever and then some. I only bring two powder products, and this works for both.

ModelCo Blush

This one makes another appearance. This one does apply really heavily, so you need to use a light hand, but it really wakes me up no matter what.

Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer

This is bigger than most of my other super-travel-sized products, but this has a good-sized mirror, so I toss it in because it’s my favorite bronzer and it’s great for getting ready when you don’t have a giant mirror in front of you.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet

This is my Holy Grail pencil liner. It stays on and stays on and stays on for forever. I may have left in on overnight and it still looked good, she says guiltily. It’s also way quicker than a liquid liner, so I like it for my away nights.

Cailyn Just Mineral Eye Polish in Orchid

I like that this has an applicator so that I don’t need to pack any other brushes. It’s also a your-lids-but-better shade, so that you look a little more polished. I also find that even though this is a mineral eye shadow, it stays really well without primer.

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara

I’m really fickle about my mascaras, so this one is in here because it is my current travel-size. I usually have one travel size and one full size mascara open, and this is what I’m working with now. It’s a great formula though, so I highly recommend trying it out. It gives me fantastic lashes with zero effort. No falsies needed!

Philosophy Hope in a Stick

You must bring your favorite lip balm and this one is great. Whether you prefer a Chap Stick or something high end, be sure to pack one. This is the one I’m using now, and if you’re a fan of philosophy, I would recommend it.

Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

I can’t get through a makeup bag tour without mentioning this. I’ve gone through two of these. It goes with any outfit and any occasion, so look for a lip color that works for you for any kind of occasion and you’ll never have to worry about what to pack.

What’s your must-have for a night away?
