Hello! A little late but here’s a what’s in my makeup bag post showing you the makeup I brought with me to the US. When I was packing, I was deciding if I should bring very little and use some of the products I’ll be purchasing there. I was going through this dilemma for a while but I decided that I should wait until I get home so that I can take photos of them first. I ended up packing more than what I need. But hey.. it’s better to be prepared. So here’s what I’ve brought:
- BECCA ONE perfecting brush* & Other Makeup brushes - I was recently sent the BECCA ONE perfecting brush for trial. This brush is supposed to replace the foundation brush, powder brush, contour brush, blush brush and many more. I brought it with me to try this baby out. I also brought along my other brushes just in case I couldn’t figure out how to use the one perfecting brush.
- DUO Eyelash glue
- La Roche-Posay BB cream* - BB cream is good for casual days. I’ll be posting a review on the blog in 2 weeks time.
- Shu Uemura Eyelash curler - This eyelash curler is amazing for Asians. It is the first curler to curl all my eyelashes!!
- Clarins Instant Concealer* – This little bottle of goodness is awesome. Even though it says it’s for eyes, I use it around the face and does pretty good job at covering my red patchy skin.
- Ardell Edgy Eyelashes* - Ever since the hubs and I got married, we never went back to the US so we are taking this opportunity to have a smallish dinner in the US to celebrate our marriage. I’m hoping to dress up a little and use these eyelashes on the night.
- NARS Sheer Glow Foundation - This is becoming one of my favorite foundations. Coverage is pretty good and it lasts all day.
- Burt’s Bees Lipbalm
- Dior Eyebrow Pencil
- Make Up For Ever Eye Shadow Pencil – This eyeshadow pencil is great and stays on all day. The only thing I don’t like is sometimes it tugs onto my eyes lids.
- Maybelline Master Precise Liner – I got this at the Priceline 50% off sale and this is now my go to eyeliner. It stays on all day, doesn’t feather and no smudging!
- NARS blush
- Maybelline Color Tattoo
- Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer
- Make Up For Ever Setting Powder – I always set my BB cream and foundation in powder otherwise my face starts getting quite oily.
- Urban Decay Naked palette – I’ve had my Naked 1 for over a year and have been using it at least once a week. It’s the most versatile palette in my collection.
- Lip stick (not in the photo) – I completely forgot about bringing a lip product. I put something into my bag last-minute.
