3 weeks in Europe: critique my packing list

Here's my packing list for my upcoming three week trip in May:

- 3 - 4 dresses in various styles (simple wrap travel dresses from ex officio and cabela, and possibly one from Patagonia if they'll take my US order with a CAD cc)
- 1 pair pants
- 1 pair yoga pants
- 1 - 2 pairs of tights
- 1 skirt
- 2 - 3 light t-shirts
- 1 sweater/wrap
- PJs
- light rain jacket
- underwear/bras as appropriate
- two pairs of shoes (one for walking, one nicer pair for evenings)
- pashmina
- two colourful cheap scarves (I may ditch these and go with a "buy it and wear it" approach)
- small make up bag with multi use items (can't live without my benetint)
- brush, flat iron, hair elastics, though I'm leaving the hairdryer and styling stuff at home.
- iPad loaded with books/guides
- iPad charger, cable, and converter
- camera

Am I missing any major essentials? Packing too much? Not enough? All major clothing items are designed for travel and easy to wash/pack thankfully, and I picked up a light backpack from LL Bean for the trip which should fit everything I need.

I'll be doing carry-on only so I'll have to exist on mainly hotel toiletries, with the exception of a few must haves like my moisturizer, which is the main reason I'll be packing my flat iron. It's a light 1" version from iTools, and without it my hair will be an untamable mess.

Thoughts?
