The Makeup Case: A Girl's Playground.

My Makeup Case.

I love my pink makeup case. It holds all of my little sparkly treasures in such a neat, uniform way. I never have to dig through to find anything. It's all right there, laid out in front of me. It's perfect, really.



I got laughed at by many a nurse (and my Dr.) when I was in the hospital with Levi. They all happened to make their appearance in my room when I was smack in the middle of applying le makeup. The pink case was sprawled out on my bed and I must say, it must have looked a little excessive compared to what they probably see on a daily basis. But hey, I'm a girl who likes her makeup organized. Sue me.



This may look like a lot of makeup to the average person, but it's really not. It's just enough to play around with depending on what I am doing that day/evening. I always get lots of makeup in my stocking at Christmas, so I have a lot to look forward to when Santa comes.

I am all over the place when it comes to cosmetic companies. I don't have just one that I stick with, because I like different products from different people. I range from cheap to not-so-cheap, and glitzy to every day basics.

When it comes to foundation, I stay cheap. I happened on this when I was out of my usual Prescriptives foundation, and I fell in love. It is so light, not heavy, and a wonderful match for my tone.



This is the Prescriptives. I still like it, but you can only find them in certain department stores and it's much more expensive, with the same results. Bye Bye, P. Hello Revlon!



Now, something that I splurge on is this:



There is absolutely NO concealer that matches up. I've tried, trust me. But this little tube is a wonder worker under your eyes and it lasts SO long. I've been using this product for a few years and I have only had to buy two tubes. Yay! I love it.

Another thing that I splurge on is this:



But actually, I didn't even have to splurge. Momsy bought it for me. She discovered the amazingness that is Chanel moisturizer and bought me a tub. I used plain ole Dove before this, and let me tell you what, now - my face feels like velvet. No satin! No....velvet satin!! Ha! Seriously, it's amazing, it smells amazing and does fabulous things for your face. It's a beautiful thing. I shall never part from it.

When it comes to powder, I use this:



I've used this product since I was like 14 and though I've tried several others, nothing lives up. It's simply the best for my face. It makes my makeup so smooth and soft. Love it. Plus, it's full coverage without being cakey or too heavy.



My color is NW20. Translation - WHITE!!!

Each year, (in my stocking) I get MAC's holiday line which is always the greatest eye shadows, blushes and such in the cutest little compacts! Here is one from this year.



A new thing I have discovered from MAC are these little eye shadow sparklies. I love them!!



I put them on over a neutral color and it gives my eyes just the kick they need. Fun.

I love eye shadow.







Well, I love anything with the eyes. I'm a stickler for eye makeup. I use the MAC gel eye liner in the Blitz & Glitz color.



That's another product I've used for years. Nothing matches up in my book. It also lasts FOREVER.

I love this mascara:



It promises big, voluminous, fantastical lashes every time.

Now, a vital part of applying makeup is the sponge you use. And the brushes. Such important factors.

I love these thin little sponges for applying foundation and smoothing out makeup.



And I also have this, but I've never used it. I bet it would be good for dealing around the creases and curves of your eyes! I need to give it a whirl.



I have a variety of brushes. Half are Bobbi Brown and half are MAC. I love all of them. I've had my Bobbi Brown ones for years!





Now, I forgot to include pictures/commentary on lipsticks. I have a lipstick OBSESSION. The reason they are not included in the post is because they're all in my purse. I have about 12-14 lipsticks/colored glosses in my purse and they range from MAC shades and lip glass to Dior and Cargo. Those are my favorites.

I feel like every girl needs a little mascara and a little lipstick every day to look girly and feel pretty.

So there's a sneaky peak into my makeup life. Let's have a peak into yours!!
