The Makeup Bag

Everyone always wants to know what is in my make up bag. What products I love, what brushes I can’t live without, what is my new favorite thing. I decieded that the best way to answer these questions was to add it to my blog.

Here are a few of my new favorites and old faithfuls.

Best Bronzer! MAC – Golden

I swear by bronzer.  It is an amazing product that if used correctly can brighten up any face by adding a little sun kissed color to the cheeks!

The key to great bronzer is the application. Brozer should be lightly applied to the temples in a ‘C’ shape following the cheekbone up around the brow. A very small amount should be dusted on the face where the sun would naturally darken the skin the nose, chin, and forhead.

I have used so many bronzers and every year I try the latest one to hit the stores but I always come back to MAC’s Golden for the most natural and subtle look.

Don’t be afraid to apply some to the shoulders and chest during the summer months. A little color without the sun!!

Best Foundation -Dior Airflash

It’s light texture, smooth application, and full coverage makes Dior Airflash the best foundation for any skin type.

Dior’s answer to the spray foundation comes out miles ahead of all others. It has the full coverage you want with a foundation yet feels like you are wearing nothing at all. It doesn’t dry or settle into fine lines over time (as many foundations do) which makes it great for women of all ages.

I am constantly trying new products and waiting for the next great face base but as of yet I cannot find anything that comes close to Dior Airflash. If you haven’t tried it yet.. what are you waiting for?

My new favorite mascara!! Kiss Me Mascara

I have so many favorite products and I am constantly finding new ones to add to my collection.

I have recently been introduced to Kiss Me Mascara by the fabulous Shane MacPhail, Stylist at HS Studios in Halifax. If you need your mascara to stay on … and I mean STAY on.. then you cannot live without this mascara. This mascara works by covering your lashes in tubes of mascara instead of coating them. It comes off  only by using warm water and pulling the mascara away from the lashes.

There is nothing a bride needs more then a mascara you cannot cry off!!
