What worked...

I was lucky enough to spend my entire summer with some of my all-time favourite people doing some of my favourite things. I got to see my baby brother get married to a woman who more than deserves him and I got to spend time with my favourite boys.

With all these things going on, I had to make sure that my make up bag was well-stocked with things that worked for me and wasn't too time consuming. So I thought I would make a post on three things in my make up that totally worked for me!

1) Bare Minerals!! What a lifesaver! When I didn't have to wear a heavier foundation as a base, this was great! I was running around quite a bit and honestly, maybe I wasn't as good as I should have  been about cleansing at the end of the day. Stress levels might have been a little elevated too. So Bare Minerals was great! It was light weight, covered great and was easy to apply.

2) Garnier's BB cream in Light/Medium was also a great companion to the Bare Minerals Foundation. It worked great as a primer and was wonderful as a moisturizer. I love how it would give me some coverage on the days where I didn't feel like doing too much out of my face.

3) MAC's pencil eye liner in smolder was fantastic! It came in so handy and was great to smudge out out on days where I wanted a different effortless look.

One thing I definitely learned this time around is to pack the things that work as opposed to new products or new colours. Vacations should be relaxing and not missing that one lipstick you didn't bring.

Watch out for the next post on what DIDN'T work.
