Beauty Top 5: August 27, 2014

1. DiorSkin Nude BB Creme in 001- I'm really loving the coverage and the feel of this on my skin. I like that it doesn't give the super oily/dewy finish that I feel a lot of BB cremes do. It also works really well with concealer. Sometimes I feel like I can't put concealer on with a BB creme because the coverage would look weird but with this it doesn't. I am a super big fan of BB cremes to begin with so this one is amazing. This one is also pretty buildable. I like that I can put another layer on and get a better coverage. I use just my fingers to apply this, I usually always do.

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.
