It’s All in the Bag… Makeup Bag that is…

 

Alright, here are a few new favorites in my makeup bag… some you have probably heard way too much about (Naked 2 Palette), others are new {at least to me…} and here is some link love:

1.  Make Up For Ever – I need shine control for my oily skin, and this works wonders for that as well as evening out skin tone.

2.  Eyes Wide Open – by Philosophy… this is my miracle drug these days since my 6 month old picks and chooses when he likes to sleep through the night.  I saw instant results on my puffy eyes.

3.  Urban Decay’s Naked2 Palette – At first I didn’t like this palette nearly as much as I liked the original, but that has changed immensely.  It just took me a little while to figure out what combos worked for me and my skin tone/eye color.

4.  Sugar Lip Treatment – This product has an SPF 15 built right in and contains vitamins A, C and E – way better than the basic chapstick for me.  Oh, did I mention that it provides wrinkle protection around the lips?  YES!

5.  Dream Bouncy Blush – by Maybelline can be found at your local drugstore.  I was nervous to try a creamy blush because I thought it would be hard to blend or apply as I wanted, but I LOVE this stuff.  And for under $7, you can’t go wrong.  My favorite color is Pink Frosting.

6.  Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm – This is for the days I need light coverage on the go.  The company’s tag line is “Tint, prime, prevent, nourish and protect in one easy step.”  Sign me up!

7.  bareMinerals Matte Foundation – Again, since I have oily skin, I need products that tone down the shine factor, and this does just that, but it also improves the appearance of skin over time.  I haven’t seen any dramatic improvements, but it is light weight and I actually apply OVER my liquid foundation.

 

Oh, and the best part – there is a give away that starts tomorrow to win a couple of these items.  Boom!  See you tomorrow.
