Heya :) So I thought I’d do a “what’s in my makeup bag?” kind of thing to start off my blog. Here goes:
1. Primer: e.l.f. Mineral Face Primer, which is AMAZING by the way
and I’ve tried A LOT of primers. And for some reason I have two
eyeshadow primers: my e.l.f. shadow primer and NYX eyeshadow base. Both
are great, but the e.l.f. one is much better, plus I’ve noticed that
many people rave about it.
2. Foundations: I have two for some reason. My trusted Rimmel BB
Cream in “light” because it’s amazing and then my new Almay Wake up
liquid makeup in “ivory” because I just got it and to be honest I’m not
sure how I feel about it yet.
3. Concealer: Right now I toting around my Physician’s Formula
Perfecting Concealer duo that I got for literally like $2 at CVS. It
has a green tone that you apply below the actual concealer that hides
redness and blemishes. Then on top of that you just add the normal skin
tone concealer to cover any minor flaws. When I apply this, I usually
use a concealer brush and then blend it out with my beautyblender makeup
sponge. IT IS SUCH A GOOD PRODUCT.
4. Powder: the amazing Rimmel Stay Matte powder - seriously one of the best that I have ever used.
5. Blush/bronzer/highlighter: My favorite product has to be my new
Ultimate Glow Face trio by Victoria’s Secret that I just bought at the
Semi Annual Sale. It has a bronzer, blush, and highlighter shade (that I
apply at the top of my cheekbones and down my nose) and it gives such a
pretty glow and color to my face. Also have NYC Cheek Glow in Central
Park Pink and NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in Pink Cheek Glow
(these are ok, they’re inexpensive so what do you expect?). Not to
mention my Covergirl blush (I think the color is “pink”?) that I have
literally had for years and it still has not run out. It is a beautiful
color and very pigmented - one of my faves for sure. Almost forgot my
new NYX Liquid Illuminator in the color “sunbeam.” Not sure how I feel
about this yet, but I will definitely let you guys know.
6. Eyebrows: e.l.f. Eyebrow kit which I am obsessed with. I don’t
feel like my makeup look is complete without a good defined brow.
Basically I take an angled brush into the waxy part, apply it to my
brows creating the shape. Then, I take the powder to set it and it
stays all day I love it! I also have a new product: the NYX “pushup bra
for your eyebrows” yeah that’s literally what it’s called. Basically
it’s a two sided pencil, one side to fill in your brows then the other
is a highlighter that I like to apply underneath the arch to give a
lifted effect and not to mention a nice highlight (I don’t like filling
in my brows with a pencil so I only use the highlighter).
7. Eyeliner: I have a few for some reason: my Sephora kohl expert
and my Hard Candy Take Me Out Liner. Both are good, but what I mainly
use is my e.l.f. Cream Eyeliner which I definitely recommend if you have
trouble applying any type of liquid eyeliner it’s a life saver.
8. Eyes: I always use my Revlon eyelash curler before applying
mascara, it creates a more dramatic curling effect to any mascara.
Right now I’m using the Loreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara
which is amazing. I used the Maybelline Cat Eyes mascara for a long
time which is also AMAZING. I decided to try out a new one because I
have this thing where I always need to try a different mascara and I
really don’t know why….
Ok so that’s my makeup bag :) And I realized that maybe I keep too
many things in there lol. Hope I maybe gave you guys some inspiration….
ask me any questions you might have!! <3
