I was thrilled when Liz asked me to participate in her Beauty Bag series. I love her beautiful blog and was very excited to meet a fellow Canadian blogger! I don�t wear a lot of makeup but I definitely have a few essentials. Here�s a sneak peak into my beauty bag.
Nail polish: I rarely go without nail polish. Freshly painted nails are one of my favourite things and right now I love these two colours. OPI- Bring On The Bling and Joe Fresh- Jade. Bring On The Bling is the perfect accessory for a weekend outfit!
Mascara: I have light eyelashes so I absolutely love Loreal�s Carbon Black mascara. I�ve been using this mascara for as far back as I can remember. I�ve tried other brands and nothing compares to it.
Bag: I love the colour of my Sephora makeup bag. It was a gift from my friend Kim and it�s the perfect size for all my essentials.
Undereye concealer: I LOVE Lancome�s Undereye Concealer. I apply it every morning to freshen up my eyes. I have to admit, I also use it to cover any other small blemishes. Since I don�t use foundation, this is the perfect light alternative. Did I mention it�s also waterproof? Love!
Night cream: Don�t laugh. I�m 28 and I use deep-set wrinkle repair. I have fine lines on my forehead and I�m absolutely obsessed with getting rid of them. I even went so far as to cut bangs! Yes, I agree that this obsession is silly. Hey, isn�t it better to be proactive? I must admit that I really like L�Oreal�s Advanced Revitalift night cream. It goes on very light and you only need a little bit to make your skin feel hydrated.
Eye shadow: I bought Smashbox eye shadow in Champagne last year for our wedding. I absolutely love the light glow that it gives. You can also add a dab on your cheeks to highlight them (this was a little trick that the makeup artist taught me).
Cheeks and lips: I don�t wear a lot of lipstick (except for a recent RED adventure) but this Tipsy Tarte from Sephora is the perfect tint for both lips and cheeks. I love that it�s two in one!
Brushes: Since its winter, I�m only really using my Posh eye shadow brush from Sephora. I�ve included my Quo bronzer brush which is a staple in the summer months. Right now I mostly use a pinch of pink of my cheeks, rather than an all over bronzer. If you�re looking for a great bronzer, I recommend Physicians Formula in a pearl finish. This gives you the best summer glow!
Which one could I not live without? I can�t pick just one! It definitely has to be mascara and nail polish.
Finally, something I recently tried - bright red lipstick!
It was fun but I might stick with clear gloss. :)
Thanks to the uber stylish and gorgeous Melissa from Hare Styling for sharing!!
