Regarding what’s in my bag, I like to keep things simple yet functional—just like my makeup routine! I’m all about that effortless, natural vibe, so everything I carry reflects that. From my go-to beauty essentials for a fresh-faced look to a few everyday must-haves, my bag is great for the girls in a hurry.
- Tarte concealer
-
As someone who suffers from acne flare-ups, tarte concealer is my go-to when I need to cover up a stubborn pimple. It’s perfect when you need to cover up some blemishes but also don’t want to wear a full face of makeup. For the girls worried if it’s acne safe, I’m here to tell you it is. This concealer also works well being blended with the e.l.f concealer brushes.
- Pixi Beauty
-
The Pixi Beauty On-the-Glow PH Blush Stick and Bronzer are a must have if you want to look shiny and sun kissed. They’re creamy and easily applicable on your skin, leaving you feeling smooth and hydrated. I always choose them over a powder blush because they give you a nice glow rather than a matte look.
- Elf Brow Pencil
-
Whether it be for a dramatic or natural eye-brow look, I love this pencil. It’s great when you are due for another eyebrow and need to keep your brows looking clean. I like to use it to fill in any open spots in my eyebrows and this pencil has brought me many compliments. They also have a variety of colors and it’s affordable as well.
- Clinique Brown Mascara
-
As someone who prefers a more natural look, I prefer using brown mascara over using dark black mascara. It will compliment you, but also not make your eyes too dark. Moreover, I also really like the Clinique brand because it seemingly comes off as it’s a tubing mascara, so you don’t have to worry about it smudging.
- First Aid Beauty Weightless Sunscreen
-

Ladies. Always, always, include sunscreen in your daily make-up routine. It doesn’t matter if it’s sunny out or not!! Your skin years from now will thank you. I specifically love this sunscreen because it’s light and you can mix it right in with a normal moisturizer prior to concealer. It comes tinted as well, so it adds a little added glow and coverage for discoloration.
- Elf Lip Oil
-
If you can’t tell, I’m a frequent e.l.f buyer. I’m obsessed with their lip oils. They come in a variety of colors and what’s better, their inexpensive!! I’ve had my own lip oil for months, and she’s still lasting.
- Bobbi Brown Lip Tint
-
I never leave the house without this lip tint. It’s my #1 must-have in my bag. They are a bit expensive, but they are a great investment and last a long time. It’s a perfect tool if you want a little natural color on your lips (which I love) and it comes in a variety of colors as well depending on what you’re looking.
Whether any of these recommendations have piqued your interest or not, I implore you to look into them regardless!! I’ve spent a bit perfecting the make-up routine I have now, and I love it!! So, happy shopping :)
