Fight The Frump- What's In Your Makeup Bag?

It's Friday- time to Fight the Frump with Mrs. Fussypants! One of the best ways to fight the frump is to throw on a little make-up. It can make you look fresh and rested even when you feel the complete opposite!
Wanna take a peek inside my makeup bag? One of my favorite ways to find new products to try is to check out what friends use. So if you are looking for some new finds, these are my favorites for everyday. Here's a peek at my current faves:

First up, the makeup brushes. They are from BeautiControl and they are great!

Next up- Origins Halo Effect illuminator- this is great for under-eye circles, and if you use it (sparingly) all over your face it gives you a great glow!

Lancome's Dual Finish versatile powder makeup. You can put it on wet for heavier coverage, or use a powder brush and use it as a dry powder.

I change eyeshadows pretty often so I like the very affordable options from Ulta. Currently I'm using Pearl, and Yogurt.

Diorshow mascara in black. I LOVE this stuff!!

BeautiControl's eye-shadow in Yin and Yang. I use the black as a liner and the white as a contour.

Jane blush in blushing blossom. It doesn't get any cheaper in than this ladies!

Last up, Clinique's long last lip-color in bamboo pink. I've been wearing this since high-school and it is my favorite go to color!

So what's in your makeup bag? Leave me a link in the comments and I will come be nosy check out your faves! Head over to Mrs. Fussypants to check out other great frump fighting ideas or post one of your own!

Oh I forgot about bamboo pink, I love that lip color.

I love bamboo pink Clinique. But now that I think of it, I've never seen any pink bamboo.

4 different types of lip gloss.
Mascara.
Blush.
And lipstick that I don’t use!

I have not had any time to post lately … I was unable to get a Fight the Frump up this week. You know what the sad thing is, I was going to write about time for you! Pitiful!

Have a good weekend. K~

I loved your post! I'm always interested at what products other people are using. How do you like the Jane blush? I was wondering about the quality of that line and was going to give it a try when I make it to Walgreen's one of these days.

I talked about a few of my favorite products in my Fight the Frump post for last week -- including my favorite mascara!

chapstick
lipstick
powder/foundation combination (used as concealer occasionally).

I am completely backwards when it comes to makeup, so a post like this is greatly appreciated -- when I finally grow up and get a real makeup bag, I'll be back for some great ideas. Already I'm thinking that Lancome Dual Finish sounds good . . . Thanks!

MAC has a black oil based eyeliner that is packaged in a round container. It has to be applied with a brush. It is fabulous and does not wear off for 2-3 days. If you don't feel like reapplying eyeliner everyday this is great.
