#13 My Purse Makeup Bag


This is the makeup bag that I carry in my purse - super cute huh?



When I first got it I use to keep my kobo on one side and my makeup on the other. Pretty soon though I realized that I needed more room for my makeup.



First my concealers - I am in love with my Garnier Skin Renew anti-Dark Circle Concealer Roller. I just roll it on and blend it out with my fingers. If they need a little more love I use Erase Paste (very carefully, you seriously only need a little bit or it will not look pretty) with the Samantha Chapman Real Techniques Crease brush(the purple one) to apply and blend. Finally for any other blemishes or red spots I use my Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer with the Tarte concealer brush.


Onto Face - I received the Laura Gellar Spackle tinted under make-up primer in bronze in my birchbox a couple of months back. It really isn't as scary as it looks - It adds some color to your face as well as primes it. It is pretty awesome for these winter months when my face could use a pick me up. I also have Tarte's Park Avenue Princess Bronzer, its not my favorite bronzer but I got it as a sample and I am trying to use it up so I can justify getting a new bronzer. It does add overall warmth to your face but it is not that great for contouring. Then I have a Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Charisma - a color that I have loved for fall! I use the pointer Tarte brush with my bronzer and the two ended for my blush. Sometimes I use the smaller end to highlighting or blending out the edges or my eye look.


Now my favorite Eyes - I carry three cream eyeshadows that I use as bases for looks, MAC's paint pot in Nubile(which is awesome under any look) Tarte's Shimmering Taupe and Tarte's Shimmering Moss. Next, I carry 4 MAC shades in this elf compact that only cost a dollar! The colors are Moleskin(Upper Right), Short Shorts(Upper Left), All That Glitters(Lower Right), and Woodwinked(Lower Left). Woodwinked is gorgeous over the Shimmering Moss cream shadow. I have a sample size Urban Decay primer potion, Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara(very awesome), and a sharpener. My favorite product out of all of these are the Tarte smolderEyes eyeliners! I have the colors Fig and Charcoal. They are a bit thicker than a normal eyeliner which can be tricky but you can smoke them out with a blender that is at the other end. They are just gorgeous and stay one all day!


I don't use a lot of lip products but I do like Tarte's Lip Surgence. These are in Sweet and Delighted.


And here are my eyeshadow brushes that I forgot to put with my other eye stuff. The double-ended one is pretty awesome though I tend to just use the one end for both my lid and crease. The other end I barely use. The other brush I use with my cream shadows. They are both by Tarte.

And that's it! Your probably wondering why I have so much Tarte! That's cause I signed up for the Glow your Way to Gorgeous kit on QVC. I have already gotten 2 shipments and will get a third next year. It is pretty awesome! So there.
