What's new in my makeup bag today?


Yes to tomatoes moisturizer has saved my face during the hot summer months. I also love the $15.99 price tag.




Kitten Stila eyeshadow works on most skin types. Especially if you like the shimmery look.

To get the best results, try using a couple of drops of Vive pro after you've dried your hair. I find if I use too much, my hair gets weighed down.

shu uemura has to be the best eyelash curler I've ever tried. What's the trick to perfectly curled eyelashes? Well, first lightly heat up your curler with a hairdryer, then curl your lashes and add your mascara last. Click here for my favorite mascara...

Revlon beyond natural in nude (04) has an SPF of 15 and lasts for hours. *Hint: To make your lipstick last longer, try adding some powder to your lips beforehand.

Hanae Mori is one of my favorite perfumes. You're bound to get a rave review for its light vanilla scent.

Laura Mercier kir royal sateen eye colour is lovely when paired with the kitten Stila eyeshadow.

For the sun-kissed look, try shimmer waves (compact on the left) from The Body Shop. I love this on my cheeks, but it can also be used as an eyeshadow.

MAC is a great bronzer to use. I use the bronzer sparingly and my MAC shade is refined golden. Comment below and tell me what product do you use to look sun-kissed? Under the Sheets-Shhhh...what's new in your makeup bag?

I am currently in love with some pure mineral eyeshadows ordered off Etsy. Ginger and Desert Sands and Oyster. Now, if only I had a better eyeshadow brush...

Stopping in from SITS. Happy Tuesday!

Laura said...

Mascara, lip glosses, eye liner, eye shadows. Etc, etc. I got it all for free at CVS at one point or another. :) Either that or I got my make up for Christmas.

I think I even have a jump drive in there somewhere! :)

You can always tell what a woman is like by what they have in their make up bag, right? :)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Your blog is cute too. :)

i love stila eyeshadow! it is the best. THE BEST!!!

i am trying to figure out a new foundation to use. fucking brutal! i am getting older and the bare minerals probably isn't so great for someone aged thirty nine. ugh. the search is on.

i like nars orgasm & benefit coralista for looking summery, shimmery and fab. :)

gorgeous post! I don't really wear too much makeup , especially when it is this hot here in france (& back home in australia.) I use vichy Oligo 25 moisturizer on my face morning and night. I wear a little kohl eyeliner and lancome mascara and for my lips I use: Lucas paw paw ointment for during the day, my Chanel lipstick in Waikiki and my Paul and Joe lipgloss in Strawberry Tart for night time xxx

Hi!! Thank you Laura for your comment on cutencheap blog! I'm also a fan of makeup!! And have a youtube channel on it, but it's in Italian language; I agree with you about Shu Uemura eyelashes curler, and into my makeup bag you will find my favorite mascara: MAC Dazzle Lush mascara and sooo many other products! :)
