It's time for another blog post :). I have recently been doing quite a bit of shopping and going out and was unsure which blogpost to write first. I decided to start with the classic What's in my makeup bag because I reach for it every single day and basically use the same products every day as well.
Most of these are my essentials for my every day makeup. My every day makeup consists of Anastasia Brow Wiz in dark brown for my brows, bare-minerals all over face glow in Pure Radiance for my eyelids and inner corners, Kat Von D felt tip liner in Trooper, Maybelline Falsies (Waterproof) for my upper lashes, Benefit They're Real for my bottom lashes, bare minerals bronzer in light tan, and the Rimmel wake me up concealer.
On more special occasions when I want my makeup to last longer, I use the UD primer potion and the Hourglass face primer, which I have the mini size. I also use the Majolica Majorca fibre mascara if i want extra length to my lashes.
In my bag, I also keep a few other products that I only use occasionally. These include the Kate palette which has one shade that I like for inner corner highlight, the Chanel aqua lumiere foundation, UD eyeliner in bronze, Nars Deep throat blush, Burberry Summer Glow highlighter/bronzer, two Nyx lip products, and Maybelline eye tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. I do love these products but as it is summer, I don't want to wear too much makeup because the sun does not react well with my skin and it is even worse when I have alot of makeup on.
I also wanted to shed some light on my absolute favourite product right now. This is the Neutrogena healthy defense sunscreen. My skin is super sensitive and even being out in the sun for 10 minutes can cause my face to become extra dry and irritated. This sunscreen is SPF 45 and is extremely lightweight. It is not too oily and absorbs into the skin very quickly. I am obsessed with it and have been putting it under my BB cream every day. I used to use the Chanel foundation every day until my skin wasn't looking very good. I decided to switch to my fool-proof BB cream, which is the Skin 79 Super BB cream. it is a light coverage but definitely buildable and does not cake on at all. It does have a bit of SPF as well which is great. This is already my second bottle and I am worried it will run out soon!
Lastly at night I apply the Kiehl's Ultra face moisturizer which moisturizes my sun-irritated skin overnight. I have been trying hard to minimize the amount of face products I have been using! All I need now is a good face powder, so I am definitely keeping an eye out for that.
Once again thanks for reading and hope to see you in the next blog post!
