What's in my Travel Makeup Bag?

I always travel light when it comes to makeup. On my recent trip to New York, I consolidated the main products I use into one small makeup case. What I realized is that I don't use or need very much. I do make sure to have powdered foundation on hand, to even out skin tone. Eyeliner: liquid or the smudgy stick kind. A variety of lipsticks (preferably in bright pinks or reds). And, a small can of dry hair shampoo can come in mighty handy.

How does your makeup travel? Anything you can't leave town without?

Daily Makeup Routine

Covergirl, Maybelline, Makeup Beauty
Covergirl, Maybelline, Elf, and Rimmel- My Daily "Go-To's"

I have been receiving quite a number of emails regarding my daily makeup regimen lately. In all honesty, it only takes me 10 minutes to "put my face on" so to speak. I start with a pressed powder foundation (Maybelline is my go-to!) and apply a few drops of water to my sponge to create a smooth application. Once dry, I pat on some blush with a big faced brush. I line my eyes with Rimmel eyeliner (I tend to smudge it around the corners when finished with a Q-Tip.) For a night out or a special event, I'll line my upper lids with a liquid liner cat eye Circa 1961 and mascara.

When it comes to Lipstick, truth be told, just a few years ago I never would have stepped outside in super bright lipstick. Why you ask? Because I shied away from the attention and it felt like a spotlight on my face. I would wonder, "Was I too made up? Did I look like a clown?" I wasn't comfortable with the added attention it might bring my way. Instead, I would only wear lightly tinted glosses or nude lipsticks.

Now? Well, now I certainly embrace the idea of colorful lipstick. I feel more confident in it. It makes me happy to catch a reflection of my colorful lips. I feel alive and confident. It reminds me (and also makes me question) why I was so afraid to break out of my shell before? In high school, I was so different from who I have become now. I am much more comfortable in my skin now then I was back then. I think that's a part of most every teenage girl's territory though, growing up and feeling awkward or shy? Now, I can't get my hands on enough richly hued makeup. It's a great way to experiment and have fun. Makeup is just as much of an accessory as the latest "it" handbag or stylish new shoes. And much more affordable too. I say dig in and play!

Lipstick Wars: Revlon vs Cover Girl

I found the most perfect color a few months ago. Cover Girl's Lip Perfection Lipstick in Fairy Tale (a really flattering peachy-pink) and it stays on for hours without ever drying your lips. Just last week I went on a hunt for Orange lipstick. Finally found it by way of Revlon in Siren. Just as moisturizing and this particular shade of orange reminds me of Fendi S/S 11. Win, win!!

Covergirl Fairytale

Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Fairy Tale

I detest going to to grocery store unless it's in preparation for a party or a fun meal I can't wait to make. Otherwise, it's simply a chore. I tend to treat myself at the market... to fruit, to celebrity gossip filled tabloids or.... cosmetics! This is my latest find. Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipstick in a slightly peachy pink shade. Aptly titled Fairy Tale. For just under $7 you can treat your lips to a flattering blast of color this summer, one that moisturizes too. I just had to share... Happy Easter!

Hot Pink Lipstick

Nars, Beauty, Lipstick, Makeup, Hot Pink Lipstick

This weekend I ventured off the nude lip for a bit and plunged into hot pink. I want to start experimenting with more and more lip colors. From fire engine red to almost orange. Suggestions? Favorites?
