Weekend Makeup Essentials #2

So almost every weekend for the past 2 or so years I have stayed at my boyfriends.  This has given me master packing skills.  Awhile back I showed you my weekend makeup essentials and thought that this would be a fun series.  So here is what I packed last weekend. 

I have been loving my Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum.  It really moisturizes my skin and leaves a radiant glow.  My absolute holy grail foundation is the Dior BB Creme.  It has great coverage and is such a great match for my skin tone.  Since my skin has been quite oily lately so I have been setting my foundation with the Chanel Les Beige powder.  This powder makes my makeup last all day long.  And I love to use my Sephora #55 brush with the powder.  It isn't too dense and just picks up the right amount of powder. 

For blush I have been loving a good blush stick.  Lately I have been enjoying the new Nars Matte Multiple in Laos.  It is a nice rosy coral shade that looks great on my fair skin.  I am not into the whole using my fingers so I have been using the ELF small stippling brush.  It has such a small head that it works great with this product.  To highlight I have been reaching for my Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight.  This gives you such a beautiful lit from within glow (if that even makes sense). 

 I have been going for a really strong brow lately so, I have been using the Maybelline Color Tattoo in matte brown (le).  It has a great waxy consistency that keeps my brows in place all day.  I have also been doing very minimal eye makeup, just some mascara.  The Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme makes my lashes look so voluminous.  It is just amazing!  Then for lips I have been loving the YSL Gloss Volupte in Grenade Pepite.  It's a nice strawberry color that makes my lips look luscious.

Weekend Makeup Essentials !

Pretty much every weekend for the past 2 or so years I have stayed at my boyfriends.  This has given an innate ability to pack only the essentials.  I have learned the hard way not to over pack.  I bring the basics of what I need and nothing else.  

I have been loving these two mini's I received from Sephora (6).  The Caudalie serum smells great and has a wonderful texture and the Ultra Repair Cream from First Aid Beauty has keep my hideously dry skin moisturized.  The YSL Touche Eclat foundation (5) is a winter must have.  It is nice and light, but it gives great coverage.  The Beauty Blender (8) is a must have for any girl who loves foundation.  It makes putting your foundation on a whole lot easier!  I just went and picked up another Maybelline Dream Lumi concealer (4) because I love it so much!  I love the radiant shade and how it makes my under eye area so bright and awake looking.  

I shied away from bronzer for the beginning part of winter but I needed it back in my life.  I love using the Sigma E40 brush (2)  with my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer (7).  Another brush I have been loving is the Tom Ford Cheek brush (1).  If you have a bit of money burning a hole in your pocket than I suggest picking this bad boy up!  Sephora's Orange Pop blush (11) gives me a beautiful pop of color on my cheeks.  It is a nice matte shade, which makes me love it more.  Now if you are looking for a new highlighter than I would suggest getting The Balm's Mary-Lou Manizer (10).  It has the creamiest of textures and gives you a dazzling glow.  

I normally don't bring any eyeshadow with me, because it can be a little bit to bulky.  I just bring a mascara sample that I am working through and this week it happens to be Laura Mercier's Full Blown mascara (9).  And lets not forget about eyebrows.  On a whim last week I picked up Anastasia's Brow Whiz (3) and oh meh gud!! it is a god send.  I never thought I would enjoy it, but I truly do.  And lastly I have been loving a dark lip, so of course I brought along my trusty Chanel Glossimer in Crushed Cherry (12).
