First of all, how cute is this makeup bag? Second of all, how crazy is it that it only costs $4.80?! Thank you, Forever21.
Makeup. To say I have a lot of it would be an understatement. I have a TON and I love trying out the latest and greatest products, but only the very best of the best make it into my on-the-go makeup bag. These are the products that I rely on to stay looking fresh throughout the day.
I’ll start of with lipgloss because it’s an essential for me. Although Kylie Jenner’s matte (and very large!) lips have been a major beauty trend lately, it’s not for me. I’ve always loved lip gloss because it instantly gives a very youthful and fresh look. I’m extremely particular when it comes to lip gloss, and can promise that these are the absolute best.
1. Buxom Lipgloss I love my Buxom lipgloss in the shade Moonlit Lavender. It’s a little darker than I normally wear, but doesn’t give that “vampy” look. Buxom is great for adding shine and plumping your lips (without that horrible stinging feeling you get from most lip plumpers!)
2. Urban Decay “Naked” Lipgloss If I could only use one lip product for the rest of my life, this would be it. I own all of them, but the shade Nooner is the most natural. The consistency of this lipgloss is PERFECT and it gives a high-shine finish. I’m pretty sure it nourishes your lips and does all of that important stuff (It contains Hyaluronic Filling Spheres?) too! 😉
3. YSL Lipstick This was a major splurge for me. Once you try it, you’ll know why it’s $36 a tube. Plus, just look at the packaging. Gold.
4. MAC Lipstick Since I unfortunately cannot own every shade of YSL lipstick, MAC is my go-to. Great colors and non-drying formula. My favorite shade is Creme-Cup!
Next up, face products. Nothing is more important to me than a flawless looking complexion.
5. Bobbi Brown BB Cream I apply full coverage foundation in the morning (currently loving this one from Nars), but I like to bring this BB Cream with me to touch up during the day. For a BB cream, it’s pretty full coverage and has SPF 35!
6. MAKEUP FOREVER HD Powder (AKA Magical Powder) If you don’t have this, go buy it. It instantly makes your foundation looked airbrushed and flawless!
7. MAC BLUSH I always carry a blush with me. I’m not too picky when it comes to blushes as long as it’s pigmented. I love this MAC Blush in Well Dressed for a baby-pink flush.
8. TOO FACED MASCARA This is Too Faced “Better than Sex” Mascara. It’s my all time favorite and I swear by it!
Last but not least, I got this Chloe Love Story perfume sample from Sephora and LOVE it. I can’t ever seem to get myself to splurge on a full size perfume, but this one might be the game changer for me.
