Hello Beauties! I celebrated my birthday over the weekend and as I was unpacking my makeup at the hotel it gave me the idea to share it with all of you and kind of give you an idea of what I brought with me. I packed everything in the order that I apply it on my face, to ensure I had everything I needed in my makeup pouch. Every product I brought was exactly what I needed. 
When I was packing my makeup I was thinking on bringing makeup I know and love. Products that I have repurchased again and again because I know they work. I brought nothing new. And honestly a lot of the products are youtube gurus favorite products also.
I will try to link everything the best that I can incase you all want to purchase. Starting from the makeup pouches. These beautiful bags I bought at Marshalls a year ago to be exact. I was traveling away from home and I wanted to get see thru bags because I want to be able to see what is inside my bags for easy grab. The brand is Revlon with kissy lips all over them. I love them and they fit all my essential products perfectly. They zip up, easy to clean and very sturdy. I could not find a direct link but so many brands sell the see thru makeup bags.
Moving onto face primer. I have been loving the Tatcha Silk Canvas primer I am obsessed with this magical primer! You know when you have a really cheap foundation that you are trying to make work? Well put this primer under and it will turn it into a very expensive foundation. That is how I would describe it. Not only does it make your skin very supple but your foundation will glide on like a dream.
Concealer and foundation were an easy pick for me. I have been loving and hating at the same time the Fiona Stiles matte finish foundation. This baby has been discontinued but I temporarily found a link where it is being sold at and I bought two more bottles because I just trashed my empty bottle. I couldn't scrape any more product out. I am in the shade 05, perfect shade and it is matter but not to matter where it looks ugly in the perfect matte to my combo skin. It looks very natural on me. for concealer I have been using this product over any other in the market and its the Instant Age Rewind by Maybelline in the shade neutralizer. The coverage and consistency on this is great not to thick not to runny and the yellowish tint makes my under eye look flawless.
Bronzers and setting powders are my least favorite products to buy and to apply. I think that if you don't apply correctly they can get very muddy on the face. For a cream contour/bronzer I have recently rediscovered this product on my collection. The Soleil Tan De Chanel I was really regretting purchasing this product but it was many gurus favorite so I gave it another chance and now that my skin is a shade lighter I can see the hype. It is very settle shade and very universal though if you are darker than the shade like I once was I don't know if you will like it. I apply it after my foundation to give my cheeks some dept. For a bronzer powder I have actually been using an all over face powder in two shades darker than my skin tone. I use the Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Medium dark. The reason for this is that most powder bronzers with the exception of the Butter Bronzer by Physicians Formula I don't know why I left that one behind I tend to mix the two but anyways other bronzers make my application look muddy. I don't know if I might be applying them wrong but I always just use a face powder one or two shades darker than my foundation. For setting powder I use the Laura Mercier powder in translucent. I love how fine this powder is but I only use it under my eye area and for the rest of my face I use the Fit Me! Matte & Poreless powder by Maybelline. I use Laura to prevent creasing under my eyes and the Maybelline for an all over the face without the white cast.
Blush & Highlight, I actually have a lot of favorite blushes. I think that depending on the eyeshadow or lipstick I want to wear is how I pick my blush. I have been loving the No7 Dampson blush. I actually have a backup of it also. I love this shade because very lightly applied you can wear it with any other shades. My all time favorite highlight now and ever is the new be my sunlight by essence. I have very much textured skin but this highlight OMG I apply all over my face without being shy and it doesn't emphasize my texture. I wish everyone was talking more about this new shade. We all know and love the original but this is so good.
Mascara and Brow liner.. I recently got eyelash extensions and I have only been applying mascara on my bottom lashes but either way the essence False Lash Effect mascara is great for both top and bottom lashes. Essence has some great hidden gems for a very affordable price. The mascara is not flaky or smudgy. My brows on the other hand are already bushy so very minimal product is necessary. I just took one product with me and its the NYX Precision Brow pencil like I said I don't like my brows to thick or overdrawn this does everything I need and it has a spoolie. I have it in the shade soft brown.
For lipstick I brought is a liquid lipstick but not one that would be over drying on the lips. I am not one to reapply my lipstick so I had to make sure it was one that was going to last at least 8hrs. I been loving the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink most shades but when I am indecisive I use 70 Amazonian. The formula on all of these are super comfortable.
Finally but not least I have eyeshadows and setting spray left. My all time favorite palette right now is the soft glam by Anastasia Beverly Hills. This palette is beat up from how much I use it. The range of colors are my favorites. I know exactly what kind of look I am going for when I open up this palette. I also brought the wet n wild brulee single eyeshadow. I love this to apply as a base for all my other eyeshadows to blend effortlessly. The best part of all is combining all your makeup into one! Setting my makeup feels so good after 30 minutes spent blending and applying. I have been loving for the past two years the Urban Decay de-slick setting spray. I may have old packaging. I find this one controlling my oils and setting my makeup for atleast 6 hours. I love the fresh feel on my face when it combines my makeup into one. It does not break me out like a lot of other setting sprays on the market.
A huge thank you to all of my beauties for stopping by. Please keep the conversation going in the comments down below. And until next time hugs and kisses!
