FROM OUR MAKE-UP BAGS TO YOURS: Whats in BB’s Makeup Bag this Summer?
Whats in BB’s Makeup Bag this Summer
This should acutally be titled “whats not in bb’s makeup bag” since my little carry on is big in weight! But if I must slim down and only carry with me the things I MUST have, it would be 3 things. bonzer, gloss and “Splash” by Marc Jacobs.
The bronzer I haven’t been able to live without is the Brick by Bobbi Brown. The bronzy shimmery rainbow warms up skin tones and gives you a sunkissed glow that is gorgeous! I’ve tried other bronzers and been pretty happy with them but this one really is one that has become a staple of my beauty regime. The striped frost, sand, beige and bronze colors work together perfectly. I use mine when I’m rushing out the door and don’t have time for much – no face makeup just brush the brick over cheeks, bridge of nose and forehead add gloss and go. Easy, fresh and bronze!

Two glosses I’m stuck on. Kiss Me by Benefit is the perfect baby pink. Its natural and still girly and flirty. It stays on pretty good unlike some of those super sticky glosses that feel like your lips are being glued together. Also any Juicy Tube by Lancome is amazing. Color in my bag now is Miracle – its pink and perfect when you don’t want an overdone color.

And finally, I would replace any one of my other cosmetics with this light Splash by Marc Jacobs. The big bottle comes with an empty small purse size bottle that you can travel with – that one stays in my purse at all times! I love to drench myself in this scent especially in the summer.
Tried and True – From Our Make-Up Bags to Yours… BB’s Pick: Bright Eyed Future…
It’s the middle of the week and you’re fading! Never fear! We have the perfect pick me up and we girls of TRAffIK often use this ourselves with our GO!GO!GO! schedules.
So just because you may feel a little worn out doesn’t mean you should ever look it!
If you’re a work hard play hard kind of girl, then you’re probably tired and need to stay looking fresh for those early morning meetings at work or spur of the moment afterwork cocktail parties/happy hours. One trick to hide those tired eyes is with the Bright Eye Pencil by Benefit. This perfect shade of pink brightens the shadows of the eyes and lifts the corners of the eyes, making you look wide awake.
Apply from the bridge of your nose to the inner corner of your eye and blend slightly, don’t over blend so some of the pink lingers behind.
Problem Solved! Perfect for daytime or night!

Tried and True – From Our Make-Up Bag to Yours… BB’s Mascara Pick – Bad Gals Get BIG Lashes…
Benefit’s BADgal Lash for a Bad LA gal!
If you’re sick of using a mascara that doesn’t bulk up the lashes on your eye, get ready for really laying it on THICK!
I’m definitely a girl who loves to lay it on thick, and this is a great volumizing mascara…it thickens, darkens, and lengthens to make those eyes as gorgeous as they advertise.
BADgal Lash is packaged in a thick tube for easy handling –big enough to hold the thick brush that almost looks like you could use for your head of hair.
Easy to use and worth the price of $19.
