Inside My Makeup Bag – #3 Christine

Being my friend has its pros and cons. The pro is that I recommend tons of beauty products that you eventually love and thank me for. The con is that I force you to write about them. Today, my best friend Christine, 20, from London gives us a look inside her makeup bag.

Hi everyone, this is my makeup bag. I hope you like it!

Face:

• Clinique Redness Solution Powder - It’s good as a base either under or over makeup. It contains ingredients that also treats the redness, not just disguises it.
• Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer – Renee and I bought this together and it’s perfect. (I totally agree, it is perfect. I just wish it was organic! You can read my review here.)
• Laura Mercier Secret Finish Concealer – It’s been over a year and it’s still going strong. It’s expensive but worth the price. (It is worth the price! You can read my review here.)
• Clinique Anti-Blemish Treatment Concealer – I liked this at first but then my skin started to become dry when I used it, so I’ve stopped for now.
• Clinique Superfit Pressed Powder - Used this for awhile but not anymore.
• Clinique Cream Blush Stick – Pretty color. I liked it at first but it wears off.
• M.A.C. blush in Out of Bounds - I bought this hoping it will be a good contour powder but now it’s looking a bit to orange for me!
• Estee Lauder Blush - Perfect rose color for my fair skin. It’s so good I’ve had it for 3 years, probably should throw it away!

Eyes:

• M.A.C. Woodwinked eyeshadow – Great for evenings out with its subtle shimmer in dim lights, but it does come out orange in photos which I really don’t like.
• Maybelline Color Definer - Amazing staying power, comes in great natural looking colors.
• Chanel Exceptionnel mascara - Really good. Perfect for my eyelashes. Right formula, doesn’t weigh them down and stays black all day.
• Clarins Double Fix Mascara – It works, it’s awesome. If you have a mascara that isn’t waterproof or smudges, apply this and it won’t budge!
• Bobbi Brown Natural Brow Shaper - Another recommendation by Renee, bought it at Harrod’s this past Summer. It is very natural looking, stays put throughout the day and shapes my eyebrows as well as filling them in.
• Chanel Le Ligne eyeliner in Brown – Darn good! (Darn right! You can read my raving review here.) Use it everyday. You can create so many different looks with it. Renee recommended it to me and when she was in London this summer we went to go and buy it together! I am definitely going to buy the newer green color they just released.

Lips:

• Clinique Lip palette - Nice soft pinks in a handy compact. I use it on my cheeks, too!
• Lipcote – this is supposed ot be a lipstick sealer but I bought it and it doesn’t really work!
• Rimmel Lip Liner – It does the job. That’s about it!

Beauty Fool: Why thank you, Christine! Like she said, a few of the products in her collection were through my recommendations, so I have a few of those products featured inside my makeup bag as well. :)
