Since I’m currently on Spring Break and in Seattle right now, I figured I would share what I packed to take with me on my trip.  I left my camera charger at school, so I recorded a video with my laptop webcam.  I made a YouTube channel special for future videos exclusively for Facekitt.  So be on the look out for more videos to come!

 

My makeup bag: Vera Bradley large cosmetic bag: link here (the print I have is no longer available)

Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Ivory: This is my favorite concealer as of right now.  You have to use a light hand though or it can look cakey.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer and Silk Creme foundation: I love mixing these two foundations together.  They work well on their own, but together they make the perfect amount of coverage for me.

NARS Oil Free Pro Prime: review post

NARS Deep Throat blush: In my eyes this is a must-have blush.  It has some shimmer in it, but there isn’t too much and the mid-tone pink color is perfect.

Benefit Hervana blush: review post

Benefit Watts Up Highlighter: review post

Urban Decay eye shadow in Sin: This color is beautiful and has been a favorite of mine for a long time.

MAC Big Bounce Shadow in Trophy: This product is has a cooling effect when applied to the eyelid.  I also like that a little of this product goes a long way.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencils in Bourbon and Undergound: These eyeliners are amazing.  They are so creamy and easy to apply.

Urban Decay Primer Potion: My favorite eye shadow primer.

Benefit Stay Don’t Stray: This product can be used for eye shadow and concealer, but I only use it for concealer.

Smashbox O-Gloss and gloss in Radiant: O-Gloss is very cool because it starts out clear and then adjusts to a pink color that compliments your natural lip color.  Radiant is a little bit sticky, but the color is pretty shear and has a good amount of shimmer to it.

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume mascara in Black Brown: This is a great mascara and does give a good amount of volume.

Covergirl Lash Blast Length mascara in Very Black: I use this mascara as a base mascara.  The brush is very thin, making this mascara ideal for lower lashes.

Revlon Photo Ready 3D Volume mascara in Blackest Black- This mascara is amazing.  I love the brush and the little ball at the end because it allows you to get the corner lashes.

Sigma Mrs. Bunny brushes- Large Powder, Angled Contour, and Large Shader: review post

Sonia Kashuk Blending Sponge: This sponge makes applying my foundation so easy.  It doesn’t leave any streaks and creates a flawless finish.

Essie Mod Square: This color has become my favorite pink polish.  It’s very bright, kind on the verge of neon, but still very wearable.

OPI Red Light Ahead…Where?: I love this color and have really liked it on my toes.

Butter London Slapper: I wore this polish for a week straight because I love this color so much.  It’s the perfect blue-green teal and the formula is amazing.

Butter London Nail Foundation basecoat: review post

Sally Hansen Advanced Hard As Nails topcoat- I’m not in love with this topcoat, but it does the job.

P.S. If you are ever in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport be sure to stop by the Butter London store in Terminal C.  I did and the girs that work there are so nice and helpful.  The store offers mani and pedis and has the full product line…even including hand creme.  I will definitely be making more stops there in the future, they also have good deals (3/$36).
