The one with my makeup bag essentials

21 January 2018

What’s currently floating my boat…



Hello ladies! And gents maybe.. ? I just finished watching Fargo season 1, OMG! I Can NOT believe I didn’t watch it before, where was I? Sometimes I feel like I’m one of the village people! Mind blowing! Now to be honest I’m kinda hesitating whether I should watch season 2 or not! I mean how can you top that? We all know what happened with true detective! I got a text from Hamas this morning at 5 am letting me know that Grace and Frankie are back (best friend goals), so I guess I have some time to think about it. Hemm.. Tough decisions.. 


For this post I was inspired by Lily Pebble's video: “the only makeup products you need” where she shows us what are her makeup bag essentials, and I thought I would give you a peak into my makeup bag essentials.





Starting off with the primer, the charlotte tilbury Wonder glow is my favorite at the moment and it feels very hydrating on my dry skin, I often mix it with my foundation as well for that extra glow. For foundation I picked the Georgio Armani luminous silk foundation for obvious reasons, I mean.. Who doesn’t love it? Also my skin hasn’t been great lately, and I can really use the extra coverage this foundation gives. My concealer is the one that I’ve been using for the last 6 to 7 years: Lancôme long-lasting softening concealer! I don’t think I’m ever going to try another one because I just don’t need to. It’s weird that it’s not popular in the beauty community, I never hear anyone talking about it, but it’s so good!
I almost never powder or set anything, because I’m really into the dewy look and tbh my skin is just too dry, but if I have to, my go to powder is always the charlotte tilbury one, it is literary the best powder out there.
Moving on to contour and highlight, I’ve been really enjoying lately the charlotte tilbury filmstar bronze and glow in the shade fair-medium, the sculpt powder is not at all orangy, which is perfect for me if I don’t want to use a bronzer and a contour powder, this basically does the job of bronzing a little bit and definitely contouring my chubby cheeks, the highlight is also beautiful, I mean, I still prefer the Becca one, but this one is not bad at all.



For blush I have what I literally used for the last 4 years: Nars Douceur blush, I’m almost out, and I will definitely repurchase, it’s just a very sophisticated color. Urban decay’s naked 3 palette is my go to, no doubt, and they’re real! Benefit mascara is just phenomenal! Can’t go wrong with that!
For my lips I have two choices depending on the mood: my fav Clarins instant light natural lip perfector and Fenty beauty’s uncensored stunna lip paint for a bolder choice. Both gorgeous!


Thank you for reading, let me know what are your makeup bag essentials?
