What's in My Vanity Kit?

This is a list of highly recommended beauty products that I want to share with you. Don't get me wrong, what might work for me doesn't mean that It would actually work for you, but these are sure worth a try!

With my line of work, I had to experiment with different kinds of makeup so I would know what will work for different skin types. Through this, I was able to find the perfect beauty products that suit me best! All products that you see here are tried and tested by me. these are basically what you will see when you rummage through my personal vanity kit. These are what I actually use almost everyday. Mine is actually just the basics, since I really opt for fresh and natural look. Ofcourse before I put these on my face, my skincare regimen always comesfirst..Will share this with you as well in the future.)

PRIMER: Oftentimes, my skin gets too oily..but then I prefer it oily rather than having dry skin as long as I don’t have breakouts I will be fine , I got no choice but to always bringwith me my ever dependable – JOHNSONS OIL CONTROL FILM…but then If you reallywant to have oil-free skin for a longer pd of time without having to freshen upeverytime., What I use is the ALL MATT Matifying Base formula from Makeup Forever. This product always works for me.

ALL MATT PRIMER

The All Mat Matifying Base formula is based on a oil-free powdered gel that is colorless andextremely comfortable to wear. It makes it possible to control not only shiny skin, but also variations in foundation color over time. Excess sebum is absorbed. The skin is perfectlymatt and soft to the touch, without a hint of shine. The complexion looks healthy, clear and fresh whatever the occasion.

BURTS BEESWAX LIP BALM MOISTURIZER

This natural lip balm moisturizes lips with ingredients like ultra-emollient lanolin, coconut oil and sunflower oil, and seals in hydration with beeswax. You can use it on healthy lips for a little peppermint tingle. Take your pick of an old-fashioned yellow tin or a recycled plastic tube.

MAC CONCEALER PALETTE

What more can I say I can’t live without this palette,it helps me cover up my dark circles and other skin imperfections!
Great color range. For a cream concealer with good opacity, try MAC’s Studio Finish Concealer Palette SPF 35. The wide color range includes a “Light” palette with pink, yellow, and caramel tones. The formula has good stick, yet blends out smoothly. Water-resistance and sun protection are big pluses.

FACE FOUNDATION: I only have two top choices when it comes to my everydayfoundation. I want it light, natural looking with minimal coverage that could also give my face the natural glow.

BRUSHES: Okay, I may own quite a number of brushes that I use at work ..you see, I’m quite addicted to buying brushes but I don’t use them for myself hahahah I just love looking at them hahaha! ...But for me, I can live with 4 brushes. I love spending time making other’s people faces, but for myself, id rather go for the quickest , easiest way to look…presentable enough, that's also one of the main reasons why I invest on skincare because, when you have good skin, you don't have to pile on too much makeup just to look nice, thus you spend less time infront of the mirror isn't it? And when it comes to brushes these 4 tools are enough for me.

SUESH HILITER BRUSH This is my eyes’ best friend.
