After quite a long break from this blog, I finally got myself together this morning to take pictures of my little make up bag. Compared to the caboodle I once owned, to which this little bag was once a part of, these treats are really basic. I have started yet again to "add" things after I threw away stuff I have had for a couple of years already. Yes, it is a must to clean up that make up bag!
Let's start with what I have for the eyes. So I have two kinds of mascara -- Maybelline Volume Express One by One which gives me natural looking individual lashes, and Mary Kay which gives me a plump-ier lash. I've got the Maybelline Eye Studio with basic cream, brown, and green. I am not really comfortable using eye shadows. I think I do not look good with colors. I prefer just a little highlight and shimmer. And last but not the least, is my Mary Kay eye cream. I do not know if this cream really helps, but being in the mid 30s you have just got to believe and hope these creams do wonders.
For the face, I use a Aveda tinted moisturizer with SPF 15 in sandstone. I need to get a new one, I think this one is darker for me. I also have Cover Girl Aqua Smooth with SPF 15 in buff beige. I rarely use it. Maybe when I feel like I need to cover my face. But, I don't like how it reveals my dry spots! Maybe this will do me well when I'm in Cebu (just like my MAC Studio Fix). And for that glow, I use Nars Super Orgasm. I don't use this blush often the way I used to because of its glitters (which makes this Super Orgasm). I plan to get the Nars Orgasm when I have time hehehe! Also shown are my brushes -- for the blush, foundation, and eye shadow.
For a perfect pucker or so, I pretty much use Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in Red Dahlia. This balm feels good and helps keep my lips moisturized. On days when I feel like making my lips a bit redder than usual, I use the Loreal Colour Riche Lipliner in Rouge. I line my lips then smudge it,with the lip balm and smack my lips hehehe! Fancier days call for Loreal Infallible Le Rouge #337 (refined ruby), then clear Loreal Le Gloss. For a shortcut, I use my Mary Kay lip gloss in Berry Sparkle.
That is the little red pouch that holds my vanity LOL! Also shown here is my Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Concealer in Medium Beige which I use sometimes to cover zits and dark eye bags. My Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, which I use to deodorize the toilets I use in public (to mask unwanted scent LOL!). I also have a sampler size of Eucerin moisturizer which comes in handy for a dry place like Colorado. And to keep my peepers moisturized, I always have my Opti Free eye drops to lubricate my eyes when I'm wearing my contact lenses on. Of course, the tweezers and the eyelash curlers!
I plan to add neutral shades for my lips and something smokey for the eyes... just in case hehehe! But really these things add color (literally and figuratively) to my dreary days...
