Once again, I'm living out of a suitcase, and the biggest makeup bag I could find to hand. I hate it, because I love having choice, I'm almost tempted to lug back my Muji stash when I pop back to London for supplies this week. But for now, it's a great opportunity to share some of the items that made it into my bag, that are worth a mention.
I am totally obsessed with the Anastasia DipBrow Pomade, it's so easy to apply and it really makes my brows look strong and defined, but still natural looking. I don't know how it works, but it's freaking brilliant and I don't want to be without it! Also in the eye department, I'm so impressed with the Wet and Wild Colour Icon Silent Treatment Palette, it's such an easy, workable trio of colours, you can create a pretty day look or a darker smokey eye.
I've fallen back in love with my MAC Concealers recently, and I've been using the MAC Mineralize Concealer under my eyes and down my nose, it works well to really lighten the skin. I've been setting my T-Zone with the Chanel Les Beiges Powder in B10, which really diffuses the look of my giant nose pores, and makes my skin look so much nicer.
I've had this mini Benefit Hoola Bronzer for a long time now and never really used it, so I decided to chuck it in the bag, especially since it was starting to look a little full in there and this is tiny. It's completely matte so it makes a nice contour, but it also works well to just warm up the face. It's a little on the dark side, but a light hand and extreme blending works wonders. I mentioned the Bobbi Brown Apricot Blush, in Sundays post, but I had to mention it again, it's a gorgeous bold pink, and it wears so amazingly well throughout the day.
My favourite lip duo the last week or so has been the MAC Creme Cup Lipstick, which I also mentioned on Sunday, with the Buxom Lip Creme in Mudslide over the top. It just leaves the lips looking pretty and full, and together creates a gorgeous nude shade with just a hint of pink.
What products are you guys loving right now?
Great post, I'm exactly the same it's so hard to choose, I travel to see my boyfriend most weekends and always end up struggling to decide. Looks like the products you have chosen are a great selection. Kristy | http://itsablondiiething.blogspot.co.uk

ReplyDeleteI live out of a suitcase half my life as I live half between my parents and my boyfriends and it's such a pain having to lug all of my skincare (well I mean whatever I'm using at the time not ALL of it!) and a selection of makeup back and forth. I hate trying to decide what lipsticks/blushes I might want to wear over the next 5 days so I can pack them :( x Becky @ The Little Blog of Beauty
ReplyDeleteGreat products, I love MAC Creme Cup for day-to-day wear! The Chanel Les Beiges also sounds amazing xoxElizawww.beautifullyshallow.blogspot.co.uk
ReplyDeleteAhhh I'm sorry! You'll love them though!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous isn't it! It's amazing, it really softens the look of the skin! xx
ReplyDeleteMuji! It was a bargain 9.50 and it's even got a makeup brush section! And you can cram a lot in it! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's so annoying isn't it! I'm back for three weeks now so I've bought four of my Muji drawers! x
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's from Muji! x
ReplyDeleteI've got a lot of love for this one and the studio finish one! xx
ReplyDeleteThey're awesome aren't they! It's easy to do, but it's a gorgeous trio! x
ReplyDeleteIt's so gorgeous isn't it! And so affordable too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's so difficult, especially when you have a lot to choose from!
ReplyDeleteCreme Cup is such a perfect shade! I alternate between that and Angel as my everyday nude lip shades. They are both lovely and neutral without removing color or making it look as though I have concealer on my lips!
