In My Makeup Bag Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of "In My Makeup Bag"! I tend to keep a lot of products in my makeup bag, but these are my everyday standards. 

Smashbox Photofinish Primer - can't sing its praises enough. Even though it's pricier than I usually spend on makeup goodies, this stuff is amazing - makes my makeup go on so smoothly and gives incredible longevity to what I put on top of it. I don't use this every day because I want it to last me a long time; instead I supplement with Monistat Chafing Gel. 

Clinique Advanced Concealer - my holy grail concealer. In my last post I mentioned how awful my skin is - lots of redness and acne scarring from years past.  A little tube of this stuff lasts me an insanely long time and does a fabulous job at covering my blemishes. 

Revlon Colorstay Foundation Oily/Combination - thank God this foundation is only about $10 a bottle. Its thick formula stays put (to the point it's hard to remove it at night) and is easy to color match to any skin type. 

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Blush/Bronzer Duo - I bought this because I didn't want to spend the $$ on the Nars Orgasm/Laguna duo. I read this was a decent dup to the Nars, and I'd agree. 

Clinique Nude Eyeshadow Palette - I have two different versions of this with slightly different neutrals, and it's perfect for everyday application and easy to layer for a smokier nighttime look. Plus I'd rather buy this than the "it" palette - Urban Decay Naked. 

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eyeliner - another holy grail product I can't live without. It's only about $5 at most drugstores. I used to have horrible problems with eyeliner smearing and smudging only hours after applying, and this eyeliner really holds up all day. 

Diorshow Mascara - most Diorshow fans already know why this is a great mascara. In the past I've burned through a ridiculous amount of drugstore mascaras and pretty much stopped when I became introduced to Diorshow. I currently have the Iconic in my bag, and I'm not as impressed with it as much as the original formula.
