My Holiday Makeup Bag

It's finals week for me... bleh! But that means it's almost time for winter break! :) So I've begun thinking about what things I need to bring home with me.  Unfortunately, I'll be going home on the bus so I can only bring one bag with me.  Everything I'll need for my two weeks at home has to fit in that bag.  So I realized that I won't be able to take all of my makeup home with me. So here's what I'll be bringing with me in my holiday makeup bag :)

I'm bringing an average sized makeup bag home with me, which needs to hold all the makeup I'll be needing for glamorous party makeup and for everyday natural makeup. This is what make the cut:


1. Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm (05 quenched- - or as I call it "the blue one")




2. CoverGirl Aqua Smoothers Foundation (710 classic ivory)

























3. Maybelline MasterShape brow pencil (blonde)




4. CoverGirl Invisible Concealer (fair)




4. Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting 2-in-1 Bronzer & Blush (Bronze/Natural)




5. Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush (831E Pearlescent Pink)




6. CoverGirl Professional Loose Powder (105 translucent fair)




7. NYX Water Resistant Cream Shadow (CRS 05 suede)




8. NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette (Champagne & Caviar- - I think this set is also called Caviar &
Bubbles)




9. Prestige Liquid Eyeliner (LE-12 Envy)
























10. Hard Candy Concealer (Light)- - I ran out of nude eyeliner, so I use this on my bottom waterline.
I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not, since it isn't formulated for eyes, so be careful!




11. CoverGirl Perfectblend Eyeliner (black brown)




12. L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara




13. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (668 Primrose)

























14. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain (010 Darling)




15. Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss (130 Pink Whisper)




16.  CoverGirl Lip perfection lip liner (210 Seduce)

 


17.  Tools




So now you know what I have in my holiday makeup bag! I hope this helped you decide what to pack in your makeup bag! Or if not hopefully it was at least entertaining! I'm going to try to put up a few posts on different ways you can use these products for different looks :) Hope you have a great day/night! And let me know what you have in your holiday makeup arsenal!

  1. Looks like plenty of good picks! What does the balm stain in "Darling" look like? I have Honey and Romantic and love both, but want more! :)

    1. Hey Anna! The balm stain in "Darling" is a really pretty purpley-pink :) I'm working on a post right now with a swatch for you :) Check it out! I also just got Rendezvous and that's in the post as well! The balm stains are amazing! :) All though I have to say I don't think Rendezvous wears as well as Darling. Darling looks pretty good even after I've been wearing it a while. Rendezvous looks fine, but not as nice without touch ups. But if you slick a little chapstick or clear gloss over it, its as good as new :) Hope that helps! xo

    1. Hey Kimberley! :) I just visited your blog and I love it! You're doing an amazing job! As for the link bar, when you go to your blogger on the left side there are options like "Overview", "Posts", "Pages", etc. You want to click on pages. You can create as many new pages as you'd like and then you just need to make sure that in the little box where it says "Show pages as" you pick either "Top tabs" which is what I have, or "Side links". That should do it for you! Let me know if it works! I'll be checking back to see your new layout now that you have your photo editing software! I bet its going to look awesome! Hope you're having a great day/night! xo

  4. I have that NYX palette too, I love it! :) That Revlon lipstick is gorgeous! What's the formula like?

    1. The formula is pretty good :) I'm not a huge lipstick person because I usually find them drying (since I'm ADDICTED to chapstick haha) So I usually put some chapstick on underneath this lipstick, but it's pretty moisturizing. I will say that it isn't super long wearing so if that's really important to you I might try something else, but I think it's a very nice lipstick :) It's not super sheer or super opaque. Does that help??
