How to Pack a Summer Makeup Bag

It maybe the summer time and that means I tend to put on less but does not mean I leave without my makeup bag in tack. So if you want to know how to pack a daily makeup then keep on reading.

My makeup bag I got at TJMAXX in the clearance section but also I been wanting a TL+C Bag for a while and could never get my hands on one since they are hard to come by in the states since the company is in New Zealand. Since I got the bag on clearance I paid $5.50 for it and for the size you can't beat the price. TL+C has various different type of styles when it comes to their bags. This bag comes from the TENDER LOVE + carry collection. I love the colors because they are perfect summer colors but also the fruit design gives it a summer feel.  

My makeupbag is a perfect size for me. I only carry what fits in the bag. If it doesn't fit then it stays home and I might not need to carry with it. I tend to just carry my essentials but also what can I use for a simple makeup look since it is the summer time but also my job during the week is in an office environment.

Items I use on the daily:
1. BB/Tinted moisturizer with SPF (SPF is very important in the summer time because you want to protect your skin from the suns rays)

2. A mist of for touch ups throughout the day when I feel I need to refresh myself.

3. I carry around with a pocket size mirror always incase my products do not come with one. The one I prefer to use is the Sephora's pocket size mirror because it has two sides to it. One that zooms which is great to do your brows if they need a touch up or just to draw your brows because if you have hairs that tend to be crazy this is the perfect way you can keep up with them.

4. Brushes are always important because that is how to apply your makeup. The ones that I always carry because it takes up the least amount of space and have everything I would possibly need. I carry the Sephora limited edition travel size wand that has all the eye brushes I would need to make any look. I also carry a travel size powder brush which is very inexpensive because I brought anyone I found at the beauty supply store. In case I lose it I will not be to upset because it doesn't cost that much to replace it.

5. Lippies are a must for me. It is one of my favorite things to do so even if I have no makeup on and maybe just brows I will throw on a splash of color on my lips. I carry at least 5 different products so I can mix and match.

Street Fair Cosmetics Website Order/Review

One of our readers Christy Wolters and many others have asked us about the street fair cosmetics site since the first post we wrote about discovering them at a street fair. so i decide why not try it out myself an give you all a little review on what to expect from the site.

 I placed an order for streetfaircosmetics.com on Friday august 1st. i ordered one 20 piece street fair cosmetic gift set and one 40 piece set. the 20 piece set was 8 dollars (40 cents per product!!). The 40 piece set was 15 dollars (37 cents per product!!). it comes with a variety of different products. the only thing i did not like about the site is it didn't give you any details of whats in the gift set. they mostly sell discontinued items some name brand/drug store brands & some I've never heard of before. but like i always say just because you never heard of it does not mean it isn't good. that's the reason i got the gift set. 

All together was 23 dollars not including tax and shipping. with tax and shipping it was  $32.65 (tax was $2.66 & shipping was $6.99) i received an email a half an hour later stating my order confirmation. on august 3rd i received a order number and a link to track the package. this was just stating the package was being sent out. the package arrived august 6th it took about 3 business days to receive  the package. 

Everything was package securely. i opened the package and saw a wide variety of items. from moisturizers to eye shadow and more. one thing i did not like was the lip and eye pencils some looked as if they were rotten. it took me kind of by surprise but there were some awesome other products in the little bags. 

The black and pink makeup bag was the 20 piece gift set. and the purple one was the 40 piece set. i have yet to try most of these products i did check them first just to make sure nothing was broken. from just this purchase i can defiantly say order wisely. i would stay away from the lip and eye pencils the next time i decide to make an order from them. they have so many amazing items on there site that i cant find in store so i will be ordering from them again. just more cautiously and stick more to the brands i know. hopefully this gives you a little bit more in site on the process and some products they carry.
