What is in my travel makeup bag

Hey guys!

Today I want to tell you about what I carry around in my makeup travel bag. These are just the products that I carry around with me on a daily bases. The products in this bag are always changing but for right now these are the products I am loving. 

(This is the second time I am attempting to post this blog post. The other one got deleted into thin air so here we go again).

First thing first is the makeup bag. I got this from my Ipsy glam bag I receive each month. Ipsy is an amazing beauty bag you can receive each month with 4-5 products for only 10.00 a month. I have tried many beauty subscriptions and this one is by far the best. I will start doing a what I got from Ipsy blog post each month. Anyways, back to the blog post. This bag is a metallic silver which is just big enough for me to hold all my essential products. I love this bag and you get a new bag each month. ( I promise I am not affiliated with Ipsy. I just love their stuff!)

Face Products:

The face products that I carry around with me consist of Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and my Laura Mercier poof for application. I love this powder. It keeps my face matte throughout the day without making it look cakey. I love the giant Laura Mercier poof. It helps me to blot my face with the Stay Matte Powder and smooths out my complexion. 

Next for face I carry around my Redpoint Concealer. I love this stuff. It has two different shades. One salmon color and one flesh color. I love touching up my spots or under my eyes if I am gonna be having a long day or need to change my look up. This concealer is so creamy and blends smoothly. Love it. 

Eyes:

Let us talk about eyes! I like carrying around eye products with me in case I need to change my look from day to night. The first thing I carry around with me is my L'oreal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Black/Noir. This eyeliner is easy to smudge out for a smokey look and stays in place all day. It is huge so there is a ton of product and it does not tug on your eye in application. 

Next is my Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara. This is a mini tube that I got from a gift set which fits perfectly in my makeup bag. I love this mascara. It gives me the perfect lashes when I am on the go. I also own the full size.

Lips:

Oh goodness. Lip products come in abundance in my makeup bag. I love having an assortment. First I have Baby Lips in Cherry. This is my favorite baby lips. This lip balm gives you a tiny amount of color flush to your lips and it is very moisturizing. It also smells like red sprees! Next I have Covergirl Natureluxe Lip Balm. This is not my favorite but it gets the job done if I am in a hurry and just want to moisturize my lips. I also carry around the Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Jasmine. I have this in the squeeze tube and the pot form. That should tell you how much I love it. Korres lip glazes are super moisturizing, smells great, and goes on so smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about these products. I also have my Mac Tendertone in Hot 'N' Spicy. This is wonderful. The smell is amazing, the color payoff, spectacular, and leaves the lips super moisturized. This looks even more amazing on top of a red lip. I also have the Laura Mercier lip gloss in Sparkling. I think I got this from a Sephora set or free gift but don't hold that against me. It is the perfect size to carry around in my makeup bag. It is a salmon pink color with flecks of gold shimmer that makes your lips sparkle. This is great to top off on almost any lip color. Last but not least I carry around two lipsticks with me for two different looks. The first everyday color I have is Mac Capricious. This is a great mauve color that is great for everyday. If I am in a rush in the mornings I just plop this on my lips and fly out the door. For a more dramatic night look, I have Revlon Black Cherry. You can sheer this color out to make it less dramatic or deepen it for that deep red look. 

Perfume:

Remember those samples you get from Sephora and other department stores. Put one in your makeup bag instead of carrying around a big perfume bottle. Currently I have Betsy Johnson Too Too Pretty. Carrying around perfume samples lightens your bag and prevents throwing away all those perfume samples. 

I really hope you enjoyed this blog. If you have any blogs you would like to see, please email me or leave suggestions in the bottom box below.

I'm back!!

After taking a while off because life has been crazy I am going to start back on my blog with plenty of updates.

My dog angel passed away recently and it hit me pretty hard. She died of a stroke. She was my baby and it was hard to say goodbye. I will post a picture below.

I also plan on making YouTube videos pretty soon which will be pretty awesome. That will be all today but I am glad to be back and in the swing of things!

Xoxo Lyndz.

MAC Paint Pots

Hello everyone! Today I would like to review the four Mac Paint Pots that I own. The four that I own are Rubenesque, Genuine Treasure, Morning Frost, and Painterly.

I absolutely love Mac Paint Pots. They give a wonderful base to any eyeshadow. Three of the ones that I own are shimmery and one is matte. I really love Painterly for everyday eye makeup. It is matte and just evens out the skin tone of the eyelid. The other three are a wonderful base if you are going to an event or a night out with friends. Two of them, Genuine Treasure and Morning Frost were premiered in the winter collection of 2011 that Mac had so I am not sure if you can still purchase these off the site or not but the other two you can.

I hope this was an insightful blog post and if you own any of the Mac Paint Pots, let me know what you think about them in the comments below and what you own. I would love to hear your feedback.

Thanks again for supporting me,

Nars Danmari Blush Palette

Hello everyone! Today I am going to review the highly popular Nars Danmari All About Cheek Palette. This palette did not live up to the hype, in my opinion. I wish they would have included some different shades of blushes or just made it more unique. The blushes that are included in this palette are:
Hungry Heart Duo
Casino
Orgasm
Super orgasm
Desire
Sin

This palette comes with a bronzer, casino, which would be nice if it was a matte bronzer. It comes with a highlight color, hungry heart, which is just terrible, in my opinion. These two shades should be replaced with Laguna as the bronzer and Albatross as the highlighter. Most everyone loves those colors.

Getting to the actual blush part, their choices of blushes leave little to be desired. Orgasm is a great choice. It is a coral pink color with a little bit of underlying gold shimmer which looks lovely on the cheeks. Super Orgasm on the other hand is terrible. The color itself is beautiful, but the color gets destroyed by huge chunks of golden glitter. Not shimmer, glitter. When you use this blush, you end up getting glitter all over your face. Not pretty. If you love that look, this blush would be perfect for you. Desire leaves a lot to be desired. It is a bright (and I mean bright) hot pink color. If you use a light hand, it can give a perfect flush to the face, but if used wrongly, you will end up looking like a clown. If you love this color, Pink Passion by Elf would be a much cheaper alternative. The elf blush only cost you around $3.00. Last but not least, Sin is a deep, mauve, color that is probably the second best option in this palette. Sin has very little golden underlying shimmer that gives your a face a warm feel.

This palette cost around $65 dollars -!: sad to say that I would NOT repurchase this palette. It is a great travel essential if you are a Nars blush fanatic. If you own a lot of Nars blushes and you have thought about trying this, please do not. It is a waste of money.

You can find dupes for this color as I have given an example in my review. Eyeslipsface.com is a great place to find blushes that are around $3 and can get a close color match to some Nars Blushes. I love Nars blush, but this palette is just not cutting it.

If you own this palette, let me know how you like it (or do not like it) in the comments below. I would love to hear your thoughts.
