LIFE | What's in My Make Up Bag

When it comes to make up, I'm a brows, eyelash, cheeks person. But, recently, I've been dabbling in other make up and some of that make up has found it's way into my carry everywhere, can't-leave-home-without-it, make up bag.

Milani Powder Blush in Tea Rose

Not only is it in the shape of a rose, it's highly pigmented and creamy. It's such a lovely color and it has become my go to blush.

Milani Baked Powder Blush in Dolce Pink

I used to dislike baked blushes because I wanted a matte, porless face, and baked blushes were too glittery and shimmery for my taste. Now that I favor a dewier, more highlighted face, this blush is the perfect blush. I like to layer this lightly over Milani's Tea Rose for a subtle highlight. It's the perfect combination between blush and highlight without beign too pigmented or too shimmery. 

Milani Runway Lashes in Black

I used to walk past this brand all the time in favor of other brands, but I recently picked up this mascara and I think I found my holy grail. It has the same effects I've found in high end mascaras for a $5 price tag. It doesn't flake, stays all day despite not being waterproof, and has a nice shape to it, so it's easy to pop in the make up bag.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Spot Eraser in Fair

I don't have dark circles, but the veins under my eyes are very blue, so a nice under eye correcting concealer is great for having a flawless face with little make up needed.

Physician's Formula Nude Glow Touch of Glow Concealer in Nude Glow

Though it's too dark to be an honest concealer for me, I find it's perfect for adding a touch of glow under my eyes and under my brows. Also, it has gorgeous packaging and it just makes my make up bag look more cute.

NYX Stay Matte But not Flat Powder Foundation in Ivory

NYX has never been a brand I've beven keen on. Their lipsticks are great and they have a nice concealer pot, but the foundation has never worked for me. But, I decided to try out the powder foundation a while back and it's perfect. It's a nice powder foundation that you can apply with a nice brush for a flawless face, or you can apply with a sponge for fuller coverage. It's great on it's own, or as a setting powder on liquid foundations. Whenever I feel like I need more coverage than usual, this is my go to. 

Real Techniques Powder Brush  and Vinted Compact Mirror c/o Vinted

I recently found a drugstore that carries Real Techniques and snatched up this big fluffy powder brush. I have other powder brushes from ELF and Coastal Scents, but this one is the best I've had so far. Soft, dense and huge, what I love in a make up brush.

The mirror is a convenient gift from Vinted, and it features two mirrors, one standard and one amplified so I can see what I'm doing regardless.
