What's In My Bag: Back To School Edition!

Summer Break Is Over!
I understand if you've gotten tan over the summer break and you're worried about going back to school with uneven, dull skin, so am i! So here is a list of makeup items i ALWAYS keep in my makeup bag that make me look fresh and blooming in school.


These are my everyday favorite products. Mostly from the drugstore.

The featured foundation base is my all time favourite CILINQUE SuperBalanced liquid foundation, the coverage is light and feels like skin. And this is why i LOVE it. Now who would want to cake up their face to school? I know I wouldn't. So this one is my best friend.
Market price: $25

Next is my holy grail highlighter from COLOURPOP, in shade "lunch money". Why i love it? Because it's creamy and long lasting. Also, affordable. The shade is pearly and perfect for a fresh look. Paired with a rosey blush on, you bet it can make the dullest, sleepiest face look bright and bloomy.
Market price: $8

Talking about a rosey blush, my bag features this perfect blush from The Balm, in the shade "LACE".
INSTAIN is long-wearing powder staining blush, and that is why i love it.
Market price: $22

Next comes my favourite blush brush to apply my blush on with. And i'm featuring BH Cosmetic's Metallic Pink Blush Brush from their set. Why i love it? Mainly because of how soft and fluffy it is. And oh the metallic pink shade!
market price of the set: $20

Mascara comes next, and my pick is my all time favourite and long lasting Rocket Volume from Maybelline.
Market price: $7.77

CoverGirl lipperfection lipcolour in the shade Rush is my everyday, natural lip shade. It's not really matte and not really glossy. It gives more of a natural finish and that is what i like about it. It may not last all day long, but the shade is what i love about it. Makes my face pop whenever i wear it.
Market price: $6.74
Since it's no longer available on the website, there's new lip color rang "Colorlicious", and the shade similar to Rush is "Sweetheart Blush".

Lastly, how can a bag be good to go without a perfume in it? So my pick for daily wear is the one and only world famous scent, 5th Avenue by Elizabeth Arden. It's very Chic and fresh, and EVER LASTING. Seriously, it lasts the longest. And stays the same.
Market price: $48-$58
