Beauty Top Five: September 10, 2014

1. Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask - I spotted this at Ulta a few weeks ago and was really intrigued. I decided to pick it up because $5.99 for a mask didn't seem that bad. And I am absolutely in love with this mask. I use it about once or twice a week. I really notice a difference the next day when I use this. It really does clear my skin up and clear out my pores. I love it. I really want to try out some other things from their line. (but it here)

Beauty Top 5

Overnight Packing

Over the weekend, I went to a wedding in Enterprise, Alabama. Since I live in Atlanta, Enterprise is a 4 hour drive. I didn't really want to drive there and back home in one day so I decided to stay over night. This also gave me the option to get down a couple hours before the wedding in order to get ready and I didn't have to drive the whole way with my dress on and my hair and makeup done. 

I thought it might be interesting to see what I brought with me. 

This is just an overview of what I brought with me. The clothes I brought were: the navy lace dress with embellishment that I planned on wearing for the wedding, a pair of jeans to drive in, two t-shirts for driving, a strapless bra, underwear of course, and pjs (not pictured). I wore a pair of flip-flops to drive in and wore a pair of gold Michael Kors wedges for the wedding. 

I brought my trusty Vera Bradley makeup bag. It is a really good size and it will scrunch up if you don't fill it all the way. It also has a plastic linins so I don't feel like I'm going to ruin the bag if something spills. The makeup that I took included: an Urban Decay Naked 1 palette, a Revlon Lacquer Balm in number 110 Coquette, a Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in number 030 Smitten, a Chanel blush in number 68 Rose Ecrin, Cover Girl Smoothers foundation in number 725 buff beige (yay for tans), Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream in light (? I couldnt find it on the bottle but it's the lightest shade), MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NC15, L'Oreal Magic Decrease Eyelid Primer, Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner, Wet n Wild Mega Glo illuminating powder in number 345 Catwalk Pink, Benefit They're Real Mascara in travel size, Benefit Hoola Bronzer sample size, Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 011 Creamy Natural, Benefit Boi-ing concealer in 01, MAC Brow Set in Beguile, and finally my revlon eyelash curlers. 

I took all my toiletries in a pink and black polkadot bag that I got from Ulta a few years ago. I really like this bag because it holds a lot. What I brought: gud from Burt's Bee's softening conditioner in Orange Petalooza (on clearance at Ulta), Pantene Beautiful Lengths shampoo, Pantene Repair Light Detangler, Revitalens solution (contacts), contact case, a little travel pack from a hotel that had cotton balls, a nail file, and q-tips in it, DryBar money Maker flexible hold hairspray, Goody clear elastics, Clinique Happy Heart perfume, Benefit They're Real Remover, Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser, Bath and Body Works Daily Trio To Go (shower gel, lotion, fragrance mist in mini sizes) in Endless Weekend, The Body Shop Chocomania shower cream, Crest complete whitening toothpaste, and a toothbrush. (not pictured: my deodorant and my tangle teezer). 

For jewelry, I wore a pari of blush colored rose studs and my Claddagh ring and my wish ring. I fit all of this into one little overnight bag. 

The wedding was beautiful and I was so happy that I was able to be there to support my friends in their new life.
