What's In My Beach Makeup Bag? (summer 2016)

Makeup Pouch from @robincaseyph at instagram

Hey girls! I just want to share all the makeup stuff I have with me during my summer vacay. I know it’s a bit too late for this since we are now approaching rainy season but I just wanted to share it to you especially to those who’s still planning their “huling hirit sa tag-init”. To some of you who think it’s inappropriate to wear makeup or not necessary when you’re going to swim, uhm you might wanna close this blog and hit the “X” button up there cause obviously this is not for you. 

Okay, so if you don’t know I love summer, I love going out in trips especially long rides - super loooooooong rides, and I love camping or any outdoor activities. My family and I enjoyed camping out - it may not show on my social media accounts or even in my personality but we do love camping actually I do. We love staying in a tent rather than staying in a luxury 5 star hotel, I don’t know but we just prefer putting up our own tent and fix our own sheets rather than staying in those cosy beds maybe because we are much closer to nature with camping and we can have some drinks and enjoy the rest of the night at the shore of the beach. T’was fun! 

During this kind of trips the makeup I bring along is stripped down to the basics more of my everyday makeup routine but less options you know what I mean. I don’t bring 5 shades of lipsticks, 3 shades of concealers and foundations, eyeshadow palettes and such but it is more of the things I use on a daily basis and mostly my favourite products.

So everything fits in this little pouch that I got from my student Robin of @robincaseyph at instagram. I love the size - not so big but no so tiny it’s actually a decent size to be a makeup bag that’s why I use it for my makeups and I love the print (very me lol!) they actually got different styles to choose from so check them out!

Let's get into my makeups. 

 Quick FX No-Shine Mattifier

I have combination skin so this is a must have in my makeup purse. My fave budget friendly primer that really works! I love bringing this during trips because it is not bulky and it fits perfectly in my makeup pouch. 

 Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer in light warm

This is my current favourite concealer so I always have this in my makeup bag. I use this as a highlighting concealer since it is too light for concealing my spots. Love this under my eye but be sure to set it quickly! 

Revlon Dramatic Definition mascara

Another new fave of mine! Got this from my Watsons family last SM beauty makeover project. Since I'm not using any eyeshadow atleast give some definition to your eyes by using a good mascara -must be waterproof of course. Not sure if this is really waterproof - I use this the last time at the beach and it doesn't smudge on me . So I think it is?

Revlon balm stain in Romantic

I love lipbalms so this is not a surprise that I have one. I always have a lipblam in my purse to keep my lips hydrated. Love that this one has a little tint!

  Becca shimmering skin perfector pressed in Opal

We need some glow on the beach girl! A little glow with Becca opal won’t hurt. 

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Nothing beats this bronzer for me so to make sure my bronzer is on fleek I always bring this one with me. I also use this to contour my chest a little bit. (because mama got no cleavage. Lol!)

Mary Kay Concealer in Beige 2

Again, this is a new fave! I loveeeeeee the coverage and the shade is perfect for my skin tone. I'll do a separate review about my new Mary Kay makeup products. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills brow duo in Medium Brown

We know it completes the whole look. Just fill them in naturally and avoid drawn looking brows. 

Lip and cheek tint from SkinLab Naturals

Because we love those natural looking lips and cheek right? 

Hourglass ambient blush in Diffused Heat

Just in case I need some blush you know. Hourglass in diffused heat has a little beach-y feel. (because of its coral shade)  

MAC studio fix powder in nc20

To set my foundation and to make me look fresh all the time. Yasssssss girl!

 Mary Kay Timewise matte –wear liquid foundation in Ivory

I brought this because it’s matte finish and the packaging is small and light which is perfect for travel. Currently loving it because of the great coverage. 

So there you go those are the makeups I bring along with me during my last summer vacay. I'd love to hear what you guys bring to the beach, or if you think I'm missing anything! Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for dropping by hope you had a very wonderful summer! See you all very soon! 

Sharing some of our summer photos! 

With Love,

REVIEW: Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Hey there beauty! Finally, my first product review for the year 2015 is up. (Laughs)  I have been into my makeup gigs and workshops recently so it took me sometime to just sit down and talk about makeup and write you guys my own honest opinion about this product.

Today we’re gonna talk about my very own ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONTOUR KIT (powder). Alright so I know this product is a popular one, I’ve seen great and bad reviews about it. I had this contour kit for almost 5 months and it’s my first contour kit actually because I’m using individual shades or products from MAC and NARS for my contour shades and highlighting shades before.

When I got this kit it is pretty small and I wasn’t really expecting that. The packaging is the usual cardboard magnetic type.  Each pan has 3g of product for each shade inside the kit. You can actually create your own kit and choose the shades you wanted at Anastasia’s website. I regret getting the original kit because I seldom reach for HAVANA and SAND. 

TOP (L-F) VANILLA, BANANA, SAND
BOTTOM (L-F) JAVA, FAWN, HAVANA

As you see, you have 3 highlighting shades (VANILLA, BANANA & SAND) and 3 contour shades (JAVA, FAWN & HAVANA).  All these shades are matte except SAND, which is actually a beautiful shimmery highlighter. 

Let’s take a closer look to all contour shades first.

(L-F) JAVA, FAWN, HAVANA

Fawn is a medium taupe; and it’s the best contour shade in my opinion.

Java is more warm than fawn. It has a little reddish kind of tone to it compare to fawn. I like to use Java as a bronzing powder.

Havana is the warmest contour shade of all three. This is the only shade I don't like and I seldom use, because it appears to be too orange when applied to the skin. 

(L-F) VANILLA, BANANA, SAND

Vanilla is a pink under-toned matte highlighter. You can use it to set and brighten your under eye, forehead, chin, and your nose bridge (commonly know as T-zone).

Banana is a yellow under-toned matte highlighter. You may also use this to set your under eye concealer and brighten the areas you'd like to be highlighted.

Sand is a shimmery highlighter with a very light pinky shimmer and as you can see it barely show off to my medium fair skin. You can use this to give you the "glowing" look by placing it on the high points of your face such as the cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose, and your cupids bow.

Overall I think the palette is worth the money and really perfect for a Professional Makeup Artist, just replace the Havana shade with another taupe-y contour shade and the palette is good to go. 

(L-R) SAND, BANANA, VANILLA, HAVANA, FAWN, JAVA

I’m recently looking for another contour kit and I’m torn between KVD shade and light palette or the NEW LORAC PRO contour kit? Help me decide at the comment section below! 

I hope you find this post helpful (which I know there’s a ton of reviews out there) tell me what do you think about ABH products? What are your faves from ABH?

Hope you had a very wonderful day!

Much Love,

Anne
