Greetings Lovelies!
Today I thought I would share the contents of my makeup and toiletries bag whilst in Maui. After a million and one trips of bringing a thousand mascaras and 763 eyeshadow palettes, I have learned m’lesson. Like Mowgli, I only need the bare necessities.
So here. They. Are.
Makeup
- Covergirl Eyeshadow Trio in Shimmering Sands – Such a classic. Had it since high-school. The colors are pigmented and look gorgeous together.
- Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer – My favorite go-to matte bronzer for contouring my face.
- Anastasia Eye Brow Pencil in Ash Blonde – Really want to upgrade to the Brow Wiz, but not until I use up this pup.
- Coola Tinted Sunscreen in SPF 20 – I really liked this organic sunscreen. In fact, this is the kind of sunblock they offered at the Spa.
- Covergirl Ink It Eyeliner in Black – Love this eyeliner. Stays put and is VERY black.
- Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda Concealer Palette in Light – One of my all-time favorite concealers. I love the setting powder and the multitude of shades was nice to have.
- Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation – LOVED this foundation for Hawaii. SPF 25. Oil-free. BRIGHTENING. Perf.
- MAC Mineralized Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle – Holy grail highlight.
- Benefit Cha Cha Tint – Sample from Ulta. Loved this on my cheeks and lips. Definitely used a chapstick with SPF though.
- MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural – Holy grail face powder. Beautiful, natural looking finish.
- Too Faced Lashgasm Mascara in Black – New-to-me mascara from Sephora. Just meh. Worked nicely but would not repurchase.
- MAC Pro-Long Wear Concealer in NW15 – Holy grail concealer. Does. Not. Crease.
- Origins Vitazing Moisturizer – Favorite moisturizer for the summer time. Subtle tint-release and really brightening.
- Essence Silky Touch Blush in Sweetheart – This blush really IS silky. I loved this really natural color on my skin.
Beauty Products
- Biotin – Gotta take my pretty pills.
- Kenra Volume Hairspray – Such a nostalgic smell for me. Reminds me of getting ready for homecoming in high school. And the formula is nice.
- Pacifica Coconut Crushed Pearl Bronzing Body Lotion – SUCH a beautiful and delicious smelling lotion. Absolutely obsessed.
- Moroccon Oil – Holy grail hair oil. Nothing else will do.
- Pssssst! Dry Shampoo – This is just meh. Not as good as Batiste.
- Dove Deo – Smells great, but not as good as this one.
- Hawaiian Tropic Shimmer Effect Sunblock in SPF 20 – Obsessed with the smell. The shimmer is pretty but I wouldn’t re-purchase this formulation.
- Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray – Have YET to find a beach spray I’m in love with. This one is ok and added a little oomph to my already salty locks.
- Q-Tips – Duh.
- Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion – No crazy smells and does the job.
- L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Lotion in Deep/Dark – My favorite drugstore self-tanner BY FAR. Just wish it didn’t have the sparkle because it is INTENSE.
Mkay that is all. What do you bring on vacation?
Hmm it appears like your blog ate my first
comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any tips for newbie blog writers? I’d certainly
appreciate it.

I still think of myself as kindof a newbie! I learn new things all the time but I suppose I could give it a stab in terms of content and whatnot. Thanks for the suggestion AND for reading!
