Bonjour!
This week I thought I’d share with you what’s inside my makeup bag. I love makeup, probably too much. So needless to say, I have a lot of it. But we all have those those certain products that we just can’t get tired of. You know, those products that you put on and you just fall in love. Here are some of my "fall in love" products I use daily.
Baking Soda: Weird thing to have in your makeup bag, right? Think again! Combining baking soda and water makes an awesome exfoliating scrub. I use this mask once a week for about three to five minutes to help remove the dead skin on the surface of my skin. Top tip: If you’re like me and suffer from those dreaded acne scars, this and a daily dose of vitamin E will help to make those spots disappear.
Maybelline Eyeshadow: I love Maybelline’s eyeshadow! I probable have every quad pallet there is. The colors are exceptionally pigmented and come in both matte and shimmer, not to mention they're long-lasting. I never have a problem with this eyeshadow disappearing during the day. The pallets come in almost every color you can imagine; my favorites being Plum Smokes, Bronze Haze, and Natural Smokes.
Covergirl Instant Cheekbones in Sophisticated Stable: I’m not typically a fan of Covergirl products, but I do love this blusher. It’s shimmery, yet not over powering, and looks great as a contour. Plus, the color goes perfectly with my skin tone (not many colors do). Also, having an option of three colors is always a bonus.
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer: I have a lot of imperfections, which means I need a lot of concealer. I need a concealer that will fully cover my acne spots and any redness caused by it (which is quite a lot). This concealer is creamy and super easy to blend. The pigmentation removes any trace of redness, which is really what keeps me coming back. I also have a difficult skin color to match, but I can always find my right color in this line. Top Tip: This concealer is a great duplicate for the MAC cream concealer, and it’s a whole lot cheaper.
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Eyeliner: I don’t know who I would be without gel eyeliner, and this one is just perfect. The formula is creamy, easy to put on, and it doesn't move all day. This line comes in multiple of colors, my favorites being the black and brown, and comes with its own brush which is actually quite nice. I personally prefer this liner to the MAC gel liner.
Clinique Even Better Foundation: Since I have dull skin, this foundation gives me an amazing glow. It highlights in the best places giving off that nice dewy look (which we all know is a huge trend right now). It’s long lasting so it will stay in place all day. The formula is so light-weight that I can hardly remember it’s on.
Makeup Forever HD Primer in Green: This primer is a miracle worker! Like I said earlier, I suffer from really bad acne scars, and they become much more obvious when I’m wearing makeup. This primer helps to smooth my skin and blur out those horrible pits. I notice a massive difference from when I use the primer and when I don’t. This primer also comes in a series of colors that help to make your skin even more flawless. I use the green to help diminish the appearance of redness.
Vaseline Lip Therapy: I use this every night right before I go to bed. It’s great for smoothing and healing dry lips. The formula is strong so you know you are putting your lips in the best of care. I wouldn't recommend using this during the day because it is awfully sticky and very thick. I usually wear Chapstick underneath my lipstick during the day to keep my lips smooth.
Clinique High Impact Mascara: I love mascara. If I could only wear one makeup product for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. I have short lashes so this mascara really helps to add length and definition. The product doesn't clump, nor does it run. The wand is super thick which gives my lashes that extra “umph” I'm looking for.
Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder: I have been using this powder since I started wearing makeup. I have tried so many other powders, but I always find myself returning to this one. It keeps my foundation in place and looking fresh all day. It doesn't cling to my imperfections like loose powders does, but gives me a more flawless look. The casing is also compact so it can be carried anywhere for a quick touch-up during the day.
So there you have just a few of my favorite makeup products. I have so many other great products that I use daily, but these are the my absolute diehard favorites. Comment below and tell me your holy grail beauty product.
Don’t forget: The Emmy Awards air tonight at 8e/5p on CBS. Let’s all join in a pray circle for our favorite nominees, The Hour and Mr. Cumberbatch! There is sure to be great fashion and beautiful makeup to look forward to. Plus, Neil Patrick Harris is hosting so that will most definitely be hilarious.
