What's in my Everyday Makeup Bag!

So I have this giant makeup bag on my desk now that I like to keep my everyday products in. Since I've changed up my setup and now keep most of my makeup organized in a drawer, I like to keep my favorites in a bag so it's easy to access.

The bag itself is from Clinique and it was a free gift with purchase earlier last year.

Without any further ado, onto the makeup:

1.) Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream in Light/Medium (for a review, click here)

2.) Garnier Skin Renew Anti Dark Circle Roller in Light (review coming soon)

3.) L'oreal True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Concealer in Light

4.) Bare Minerals Multi-tasking SPF 20 Concealer in Summer Bisque

5.) Bare Minerals Mineral Veil

6.) L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Concealer in Cool Fair/Light

7.) L'oreal HIP Cream Blush in Enamoured 

8.) Benefit Boxed Powder in Dandelion

9.) NARS Foreplay Cheek Palette

10.) MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Lightscapade

11.) Smashbox Halo Highlighting Wand in Pearl

12.) Urban Decay Primer Potion

13.) Covergirl Shimmering Sands Trio (First colour is completely gone)

14.) Wet-n-Wild Colour Icon Trio in Walking on Eggshells

15.) MAC Omega Eyeshadow (for my brows)

16.) Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in RSVP

17.) Tweezerman Browmousse Brow Gel

18.) Maybelline the Falsies mascara

19.) CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Buffer

20.) Revlon Kissable Balm Stain in Precious

21.) Butter London Lippy lip gloss in Trout Pout

So that's it! If you have any questions about these products or what I use them for then leave them down below  - I didn't include descriptions within the blog post because it would have been mighty long, considering my tendency to ramble on and on.

Obviously, I don't use every single one of these products on a daily basis. I also don't have any eyeliners in here because, quite honestly, I rarely use eyeliner.

What is your most used makeup product?

July Favorites!

Seeing as it's August now, may I present my July favorites! I have a pretty wide variety this month and I'm very pleased with all of them.

1.) The Body Shop Body Butter in Satsuma

I've been loving using this on my arms to help with the bumps that I get. It's incredibly moisturizing and smells amazing, like oranges. My love for this particular product has made me really want to go out and try more of The Body Shop's body creams!

2.) Victoria's Secret body spay in "Sexy Little Things Noir Tease"

Even though the name is a bit of a marathon, I love this fragrance. I featured it in a haul recently and have been loving it instead of perfume. It's light but still smells amazing, and I would definitely recommend checking it out.

3.) T&M Hair Perfume in "Social Butterfly"

This is an amazing product. I received it in my Glymm box this month and love the scent - it smells like vanilla and coconut, with a little bit of musk. It lasts forever when sprayed in hair and is a very cool product.

4.) Essie polish in Ballet Slippers

This is my new favorite nail polish. I bought it for a very frugal reason (Emily from the Bachelorette said she liked it.... Don't judge) but as it turns out it is phenomenal. This polish is opaque in just two coats, which can't be said for most light pinks. I love how finished it looks on the nails as well. Keep a look out for a nail of the day post on this soon!

5.)  OXY Triple Action Medicated Acne Pads

I got these from my mom because she happened to have them and gave them to me when my skin was acting up. I've been loving how they really clean my skin well and I'm positive they have significantly reduced the amount of blemishes on my skin while I've been using them.

6.) Makeup Forever Mist and Fix

Since it's been so hot where I live, this is amazing just to cool off and revamp my makeup. It's also amazing to spray on after applying powder to avoid cakey-ness, and it sets my makeup very well so it lasts all day.

7.) Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium

I did a whole review on this product in a past blog post (link here), so I won't say too much. However, this gives me a bit of colour, smells amazing, and has a decent amount of coverage. I truly love this product.

8.) My brow routine: MAC "Omega" eyeshadow or Two Faced "Velvet Revolver" eyeshadow, Tweezerman Browmousse gel, Two Faced brush from the Natural Eye palette

I've been loving this combination of products for my brow routine lately. The brush is amazing and thin so the powder looks natural, and these shades of eyeshadow suit my hair colour perfectly. The gel is also very good, particularly because it doesn't get crunchy or visible.

9.) Highlighting routine: Hana K. brush and MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in "Lightscapade"

I love this highlighter because it isn't shimmery or glittery, but rather leaves an amazing glowy sheen on the skin that looks incredibly natural. I used to apply it with a fan brush but actually prefer this much denser, flat-top brush because it fits the shape and size of my cheekbone perfectly. I highly recommend the MSFs from MAC - though they're pricey, I think they're definitely worth the investment.

My song of the month has been "Bare" from the musical by that same title. It's an amazing song, full of emotion and beautiful music. 

That concludes my July favorites! I'm sorry they're going up so late - I had the pictures taken on the first of August, but didn't get around to typing and arranging this post until today. What has been your favorite product this month?

June Favorites!

I think these are some of my favorite posts to write and videos to watch so I'm very glad I have these favorites to share! Since I've been on project pan (and to see that blog post click here), I haven't tried a lot of new items. However, most of these items are ones that I am not trying to use up, and rather have been using along with the items in my project pan.

Without any further ado, here are my June favorites!

1.) L'oreal True Match Naturale Gentle Mineral Concealer in Light

This concealer is amazing because it is so full coverage. If I have a blemish that is particularly bad and liquid concealer isn't enough, I'll apply this and it always does the trick. I wouldn't use this underneath the eyes, however. 

2.) Benefit boxed powder in Dandelion

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I love this. It's perfect for my very fair skintone and looks really natural.

3.) Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in R.S.V.P.

I was worried this was going to dry out, so I pulled it out of my collection and have been using it ever since. Not only does it make a fantastic base, but it is also gorgeous on it's own.

4.) Too Faced Natural Eye Palette, shades "Heaven", "Velvet Revolver", "Sexspresso" and "Silk Teddy"

I've been loving these four shades lately. Since I picked so many shimmery eyeshadows for my project pan, I've been loving the top row of this palette to add some matte shades into my everyday eyeshadow looks. I also just love Silk Teddy - it's the perfect lid colour.

5.) Maybelline Falsies mascara

I tried to get a good picture of the brush - it didn't turn out so well.

I bought this recently because I ran out of my other mascara (Maybelline Great Lash, which was in my project pan). I had completely run out of mascara so I went to the drugstore and found that this one was on sale, so I bought it. I've used this before and I absolutely love how easy it is to apply and how great my lashes look after.

6.) Lush Lip Tint in It Started With A Kiss

I bought this quite a while ago and have loved it a lot, and can't recall why I haven't mentioned it yet. This is a gorgeous product that, when applied, is a medium-bright coral colour. I love applying this, letting it dry and then using lip balm on top, and because it is a tint it is long wearing and lasts all day.

7.) Quo Crease Blender Brush

This brush never used to do much for me, but lately I've been using it to apply my outer corner and crease colours and I love the effect.

8.) L'oreal nail polish in Walk on the Beach

I did a blog post on this colour (link here), so I won't say too much about it. However, I've been wearing it a lot this month, and I think it is a perfect nude colour for me.

9.) Hempz Herbal Moisturizer

Since I've been carrying this around in my bag, I've reached for it a lot. I love the scent of this (some might not agree with me, but I think it smells like bananas) and it's incredibly moisturizing and luxurious. 

10.) Lastly, I have two songs of the month. The first is "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" by Iron and Wine (which was part of the Twilight soundtrack, I've been told, but I did not hear it from there):

And the second is "Little Lion Man" by Mumford and Sons:

That concludes my June favorites! This has been a great month, and I'm so glad it's officially July! What was your favorite song this month?

P.S. and if you live in Canada like me.... Happy Canada Day!
