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

Back To School

What's in her bag?
Makeup Edition: Basics. 

Let's talk about makeup, NO, let's first talk about wearing makeup in summers. We all have to deal with oily skin, lipstick fading away and makeup melting down in sun, don't we? We all run around searching for the perfect foundation and long lasting lipstick that may get us through the day. I have been doing my research all summers, using different foundations and listing down the ones with best results. I have picked out my favorites for you to try, and i assure you, you will love them as much as i do. So let's see what's in my back-to-school bag?


Foundation: Clinique superbalanced liquid foundation. Why's this my favorite? It has a very natural coverage, perfect for daily wear, it's light on the skin and feels like you have nothing on. Sets perfectly, covers dark spots and pimples and don't make them gray. Also, the best part, your face won't be getting oily and sticky if you have this on, my word, it absorbs oil when and where needed and balance out on your face, so you won't have to worry about getting shiny face under sun.

Lipstick: MAC lipstick in brave. Why's this my favorite? first, the color. Second, it's long lasting. The color is truly adorable, it's life saving trust me on this one. It looks natural and the fact that it's matte, makes me fall in love with this lipstick more and more. it brightens your face even on your tiresome days. It's a very natural looking shade of pink. You won't regret buying this one.

Lip stain: revlon colorburst lacquer lip balm - 130 Tease Seductrice. Why's this in my back-to-school bag? It's for those special days when i'm looking for a boost of confidence and fresh looking face. It's peachish shade gets me in the mood and the fact your lips feel a hint of mint when you wear it makes me keep this balm in my bag all the time. 

Mascara: Rimmel London Wonder'full Mascara. Why i love this? My eye lashes are very light and barely even there, this magic wand makes them look heavy and volumized. Also, it has argan oil in it, which is good for the lashes, so wearing mascara everyday won't be hurting you or your lashes anymore. Infact, it's good for them. 

Hair serum: John Frieda Frizz-ease Nourishing oil serum. Why's this in my bag? It saves me from having a bad hair day. I won't recommend this to people with oily hair, but for me and every one who knows the struggle of having dry, frizzy hair, will love what this serum do to your hair. It makes them look silky and manageable. Plus, it comes with Argan oil too! 

 Perfume: Juicy Couture Gold couture. Why.. well, this is my scent, It has to be in my bag. 

Bag: Gifted to me by my better half, Azka Saifullah. <3
