Makeup Bag Monday Week #3

Happy Monday! It’s week #3 of Makeup Bag Monday, a series inspired by Serein Wu (a Youtuber and lifestyle blogger). This has helped me discover new products and also keep my collection in rotation.

The Face Shop Intense Cover Cushion is my first cushion foundation, and now, I’m obsessed with cushion foundations and can’t wait to try more. If you have any suggestions on a cushion foundation, please leave me a comment, I would love to know your favorites! The 100% Pure blush in mauvette is EXTREMELY pigmented, so I had to be extremely careful putting that color on my face. Both of the lippies were perfect for that “no-makeup” makeup look since they are neutral browns with a hint of warmth.

For this week’s makeup bag Monday, I wanted to try out a new foundation from Beautycounter that my friend Lisa (shop with her here) told me about. I also wanted to rock some red and brown eyeshadows to glam up my everyday look.

Makeup Bag Monday Week #2

Happy Monday! It’s week #2 of Makeup Bag Monday, a series inspired by Serein Wu (a Youtuber and lifestyle blogger). This is a great way to encourage people to rotate their makeup collection and try new things every week.

If you wanted to see week #1’s Makeup Bag Monday, click here. Here is a quick recap of my overall review of the products….

For my complexion, I really liked the 100% Pure 2nd Skin foundation but it was a little too drying on my skin for the cold weather in Portland, so I might bring this back in the warmer months. As for the highlight, Peach Goddess by Jeffree Star is just so freakin’ gorgeous on light-medium warm skin-tone (definitely recommend!). For eyes, I fell in LOVE with the Beautycounter mascara. It’s absolutely amazing for lengthening your lashes, but be warned, it’s a drier formula. For lips, the Mizzu Velvet Lip Matte actually made my lips peel off and bled a little since it was SO drying…. but…. I love the color. So it’s an ongoing love and hate relationship.

Now let’s get on with this week’s Makeup Bag Monday! I am really into the simple look “no makeup” look lately, so this week’s makeup bag is pretty simple! I wanted to accentuate my lashes and glowing cheeks for Springtime.

Makeup Bag Monday Week#1

Hello everyone! Happy Monday! Today, I am so excited to do this series inspired by Serein Wu (a Youtuber and lifestyle blogger). She is one of my favorite influencer and makeup lover of all time. Her series “Makeup Bag Monday” is a great way to encourage people to rotate their makeup collection and try new things every week.

Over the years, I have tried to curate my makeup collection into just a “few” necessary items but recently, I have been craving more and more makeup. Thus, my addiction has prevailed and I need to hit pan on some of these items.

For those of you who do not know, I only purchase Cruelty Free cosmetics. I can talk about what cruelty-free means in a later day but for now, here are my picks for this week’s makeup bag….

Face

100% Pure Luminous Primer

100% Pure 2nd Skin Foundation in Golden Peach

100% Pure Bamboo Blur Powder
