What's in my bag | 01. A new series that will show what's happening on the inside! This week, I'm showing you guys my 'basic' essentials! First of all, let me talk about my Baggu. If you guys haven't heard of Baggu yet, check them out here! They make the cutest leather goods and I am obsessed, seriously. The small one is perfect to throw in your purse with a lip stain, some mascara and a few cards or use it as a phone case!
Now for the make-up - for as long as I can remember, I've had skin more sensitive than a babies bottom. Seriously, make-up is a hassle for me, and not the kind of hassle where you stand at Ulta debating what new foundation you're gonna try. I mean hassle as in, researching products, trying new things and constantly having some sort of 'soothing' lotion on standby.
Moisturizers always make my skin very oily and shiny, although I have very dry and sensitive skin (mind boggling, right). But, I starting using CeraVe AM/PM lotions and they are amazing. Absolutely amazing! The PM one leaves my face so moisturized while I sleep and I wake up with skin like velvet! I've found that I have to apply the AM lotion about 30 minutes prior to doing my makeup. If I layer it right away it doesn't soak in and leaves my face feeling greasy. However, if you apply it and then give it time to set, you will LOVE it.
Origins products are a staple in my make up bag as well. The VitaZing tinted moisturizer is a must and I actually use this every day with no foundation or powder on top. It gives my skin a silky, even finish that lasts all day. I add a little bit of ELF bronzer in sunset on top and that's it for my face! I recently fell in love with ELF products and they're slowing making their way into my make up bag - and you can't beat the price!
I'm still a big fan of the Naked - Basics palette. I tend to keep my look natural during the day and these colors provide the perfect base that I can add onto at night if need be!
2 of my all time favorite drug store finds that are ALWAYS in my bag are Maybelline Colossal Mascara in Glam Black and L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse in Pink Perseverance. I take these with me everywhere in my baggu! All of these products are my every day go to and check out on my sensitive skin!
What are some of your favorite basics?!
