Summertime Makeup, Sorted.

   

Take me away ; and this is what I'll bring. (travel makeup bag ; the inside)

When you have a more extensive makeup collection, it can be hard to stay focused on what's most important. I really enjoyed the challenge of putting together my best face. One product from each category. My true favorites. To know as long as I have these, I'm good. That's peace. Freedom. Or as it is commonly called in the beauty world, My HG face.

• L'Oreal True Match Powder W1
• VS Makeup Bronzer (discontinued, my next favorite is too faced sun bunny)

Top 5 Spring : Beauty

•  BareMinerals Ready Eyeshadow 2.0 The Alter Ego : Wicked : This yellow toned lime green is fresh and bright for spring while also being more subtle and wearable than some brights!

• Buxom Full On Lip Polish : Julie : Such a beautiful bright and cheerful Pink! But because it is sheer it is also very easy to wear while still brightening up the face! Very even application, and buxom lip glosses are my favorite thing to put on my lips! They hydrate, plump, and feel amazing!

• L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow : Amber Rush : Rose Gold metallic beauty! Amazing pigmentation, very flattering color, brightening, neutral enough to wear daily but still something a little extra special about it! Can't get enough of it! 

• OPI Dim Sum Plum : This is the 2nd year of this being my favorite springtime nail polish. There is something so flattering about it when it's on, there's enough color to not look washed out, but it's still bright enough to be springy, while at the same time neutral enough to be completely ladylike! It's the perfect spring polish (especially for toes!)

• Milani Baked Blush : Delizioso Pink : This product has such a nice formula for a drugstore product, better than some high end blushes! Delizioso Pink is a slightly cool toned bright cheerful pop of color for a fresh spring face! As someone with olive toned skin, cool pinks are a must if I don't want it to turn coral/orange. This one does the job of staying pink and bright!

Buxom Kir Royale, Cherry Flip, Olivia, Sugar, Mudslide, Pink Lady, Trixie, Katie, Sandy

I have become a Buxom Lip Loyalist this past year. Not only are they pretty, plumping, moisturizing, and minty fresh, but they also contain very good anti-aging ingredients as well! It's the whole package! Find your color (they are many more not listed here, lavender cosmo is next on my list) and reap some serious lip benefits for yourself! (Pink Lady is my personal favorite that I've tried so far, it adds life to my face! Mudslide is my pick for a natural/nude that doesn't wash me out.)

What's in My Makeup bag?

The older I've gotten the less makeup products I find myself carrying around with me in my bag. However there are a few things I still enjoy having on hand. Sunscreen for being in more direct sunlight than origianlly planning on that day. Some brightening and enhancing reliable lip products. Hand cream that absorbs quickly because it's never more of a pain to have greasy hands than while out in public! A couple different types of scents doesn't hurt either in case I'm just not in the mood for one of them.
