Makeup is a necessity for me! I wish I could run out of the house a la natural, but it just doesn’t happen {unless I’m going to work out}. So, I’ll share some of my make up must haves for my daily routine {besides coffee}!
- Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara – The is THE MOST IMPORTANT part of my makeup routine. My cousin I* introduced this mascara to me! Seriously, it is amazing – my lashes look longer and it keeps the curl. It’s now my holy grail mascara!
- Maybelline Falsies Waterproof Mascara – I have to list this budget friendly mascara! I’ve tried so many different kinds of mascara, but kept coming back to this one {until I discovered the Chanel mascara just last month}.
- Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin – After discovering this eyeshadow primer, I cannot live without it. I tried skipping it one day, and I could see a huge difference. My eye make up was smudgy and gone. Sin UDPP has a nice subtle sheen, but I started initially with the original.
- Eyelasher curler – This is an absolutely necessary step before putting on mascara. If I were stranded on a desert island, I would bring an eyelasher curler and my mascara!! {I’m not sure what brand curler I have – it was whatever was a the drugstore years ago. But I like this pretty gold one I found online!}
- BareMinerals Foundation in Medium Beige or Golden Medium – This has been my foundation since 2003. When I find something I love, I stick with it!
- Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows from Urban Decay – This box of goodies is no longer available {maybe ebay}. I use the the two eyeshadows, vorpal {now called S&M} and mushroom, around my lash line for a daytime smokey look.
- Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Eyeshadow in Illusiore – I can quickly use my finger to cover my lids and it can be layered for a bold eye. It looks pretty even by itself.
- Chanel Rouge Allure Lipgloss in Insouciance – It’s a beautiful, slightly shimmery nude that is perfect over any lip color. I wear it over pinks, reds, or corals.
- Beauty is Life Lipstick in Dulce – I discovered this line of makeup at Barney’s in NY when I was visiting my brother for graduation. It has a slightly sweet vanilla smell {that reminds me of a cupcake} and is moisturizing and creamy.
- Le Metier de Beaute ‘Creme Fresh’ Tint in Gingerlily – I layer this over my powder blush for a perfectly dewy finish. And I especially love it in winter since my skin is SO DRY!
- Nars blush in Orgasm – This blush has won many awards, and deservingly so. It is the perfect color for almost any skin tone. I have purchased this blush many times!

And since we’re on the subject of makeup, can I bring up hair? My latest Vogue issue came in the mail, and I am IN LOVE with Taylor Swift’s hair! I’m thinking about getting BANGS like this. What are your thoughts?? Would I look cool only if I was lounging on a chaise playing a guitar? {I’m a little afraid because my elementary through high school hair do was blunt cut bangs and long hair – my mom made me look like a China doll!! LOL!}

Can I get away with these bangs? Can you leave the house without makeup? Happy Friday y’all!!
