What's in My Travel Makeup Bag?

I have quite a busy weekend planned! Saturday I'm waking up early to go to Manitoulin Island to check on the family trailer- then as soon as I get home, I'm going to my friend Jen's sleepover party! We'll spend the night partay-ing, then my friend Kassidy will be picking me up at six AM Sunday and we're travelling seven hours to go to Brock University's open house and then back home again in the same day.

Whew! But the real important question is: what makeup am I going to bring?




Here is my little bag, in all of its tiny cute glory.


However, it sure can hold a lot of stuff!


Ta-da! Would you believe this all fit in there?

Here's what I'm bringing to do my makeup:


Smashbox 24 Hour Shadow Primer deluxe sample: I've been working through this for about a month and a half. It's small but not as messy as those Urban Decay card samples, so in it goes!

Too Faced Jingle All the Way phone palette: Indispensable. Contains both neutral and coloured eyeshadows, highlight shades, a blush and a bronzer.

Color Institute small shadow brush: My favourite all-purpose eye brush!


Wet N Wild Megalast lipstick in In the Flesh: bought specifically for this trip. None of my longwearing lipsticks are natural colours- they're all bright purple, pink or orange. So I "needed" this! I'll be running around campus all day so I don't want to worry about my lipstick wearing or smudging off.

Maybelline Master Conceal in Fair: Usually I'd forgo this, but I have a really bad patch of hyperpigmentation on my cheek right now so I'm bringing it. It's a small tube anyway!

GOSH Defining Brow Gel in 003: I don't have room for my huge brow compact and brush, so I'll bring this. It's also better than bringing a pencil because my brows may be wacky after passing out in the car.


Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Cream: I use this everyday, no way I'm leaving it behind!

Quo Buffing brush: will be used to apply my powder, blush and bronzer.

I'm looking forward to this trip and hope you enjoyed this snoop through my tiny bag! What's your one must-have vacation item, even if it's only a day-trip?

Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon

Image
Hey guys, long time no post! I'm here today to review the new Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon. This is an interesting product for sure- one of the many new and exciting things Maybelline has put out for us this spring. The crayon is a short, chubby pencil that is supposed to be a brow pomade in crayon form. There are obviously drawbacks to this design- while it's a cool concept, frankly, the thing is huge. Maybelline definitely should have gone with something a lot less thick. I got the shade Dark Brown, I believe. As you can see, while the product is sharp now, it doesn't take much to run it down and I fear for the day this becomes too nubby to use (I've been using it on an angle so far). The formula, however, is pretty gorgeous. It's soft and emollient, but amazingly pigmented. It gives a soft effect rather than a harsh line. Here are my brows with no product in them. And here is the Maybelline Brow Drama Pomade Crayon applied to them. I ...

May Favourites 2016!

Image
May went by so slowly for me, but it was a month of excitement for sure! Eurovision happened and I got a job! Let's see what I loved through this month. A lot of oldies in here! First I've got some Makeup Geek shadows to talk about, and for once, I'm not waxing poetic about their Foiled eyeshadows. Makeup Geek's matte shadows in Chickadee (left) and Cocoa Bear (right) are deserving of all the hype they get. They pair together perfectly to create a warm crease. I'd never actually owned a warm medium brown eyeshadow before this, and let me just say- where have I been?! I've been wearing them all month and the only complaint I have is that now I'm in a bit of an eyeshadow rut because I don't want to wear anything else! Here's them both in my crease with Makeup Geek Foiled eyeshadow in Center Stage on the lid. Every few months or so I fall back in love with my Urban Decay Electric Palette- however, it's usually the shimmers I love. This...

Products I've Hit Pan On!

Image
Whenever I look back on my instagram to see which posts were the most popular, it's always the posts featuring products I've #hitpan on. The panning community in general is awesome, so I figured I'd do a post showing all the products in my collection that currently have some pan going on! And I'm sure I'll have another post like this soon, because I have so many products, particularly eyeshadows, that are soooo close to hitting pan. Anyways- let's get into the good stuff! First up is this Too Faced Jingle All the Way "phone palette" that I've had for ages. It was my first foray into high-end eyeshadow- picked up for a measly 15 bucks when I went on vacation to Washington, D.C. I believe it was part of a holiday collection, and I grabbed it out of the sale bin the following spring. You can definitely see which shadows were part of my "signature look" with this palette- I would use the light matte brown in the crease, the bronze/cop...
