Always in my bag…

These items are always…ALWAYS in my bag! On regular days I do not wear much make-up, but I do not like to look dull or washed out. I carry these 5 beauty must-haves everywhere I go.

I love cream blushes…I like that they look so natural and give a flushed healthy look. Sometimes powder blushes look too chalky on my skin and do not look that natural. I love the glow that  LE BLUSH CREME DE CHANEL gives to my face. It makes me look so fresh =) I wear color 66 FANTASTIC which is like a pinkish-fuschia. You need just a dab on your cheeks and lips and VOILA!!! You can find this creme blush at any department store or at http://www.chanel.com

Another blush that I love is the JOSIE MARAN COCONUT WATERCOLOR CHEEK GELEE in GETAWAY RED. This dark red tint gives you such a natural healthy look its crazy!!! Plus it is all natural and made with coconut water to keep your skin moisturized and glowy. You can find this at http://www.sephora.com

Next is my favorite concealer in the world: SARAH McNAMARA MIRACLE SKIN TRANSFORMER EYE AND FACE CONCEALER. I wear this on all my imperfection and it has a velvety texture that blends so perfect with my skin tone. My skin looks flawless after I use it. I wear the medium shade. You can find this product at http://www.nordstrom.com or at http://www.gilt.com which they sometimes have it on sale 😉

My PACIFICA COLOR QUENCH LIP TINT in VANILLA HIBISCUS has been my go-to lip balm for a while now. I feel like a lot of lip balms dry out my lips so when I find something that actually keeps them moist and plumped I try to stick to it. I buy mine at wholefoods but you can find it at http://www.amazon.com or natural beauty stores.

Last but not least is my mini perfume from ATELIER COLOGNE in ORANGE SANGUINE. I have the full size bottle in my bathroom but always carry this 0.25 oz. In my bag. The smell is so perfect…fresh but not too fresh like a hand sanitizer if you know what I mean 😉 The smell is citrusy and fresh with a hint of sweetness. You can mix it with other perfumes. I usually wear this scent with VANILLE INSENSEE from the same brand. Truly irresistible and lasts for hours. You can find this brand at http://www.sephora.com

I will be posting more of my faves soon!!!

A couple of beauties I got in Rome!!!

A couple of beauties I got in Rome!!!

Tom Ford Lip Color in NUDE VANILLE: Beautiful, creamy, nude lipstick. Very hydrating and has a delightful vanilla scent.

Tom Ford Nail Lacquer in Fever Pink: Great vibrant pink and the color is very saturated which I love. Perfect shade for Spring/Summer.

Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in KISS YOU: Okay so…I hate lip glosses, most of them are sticky and make me look so over done. BUT, this one I love because it is not sticky at all and it is very hydrating. It also plumps my lips and they have a sheen to it but not like if you just ate a greasy empanada. The color is like a plum/pinkish shade and it loves my light, olive skin.

YSL Baby Doll Kiss & Blush in #9: I must say that at first I just wanted to buy it because the packaging is so cute and it looks like a nail polish, but in reality it is a creamy/matte lip and cheek stain. I love matte lip products but sometimes they can make your lips look dry and cakey. NOT THIS ONE! This one has a beautiful finish that makes my lips feel very soft and you can make the color as light or as bold as you wish. The color I chose #9 is a nude pinky color that works great for day and night. Must have for this season 😉
