One thing that I am very particular about is mascara. I have really long eye lashes, and I don’t want bother with an eyelash curler, clumping, or something that’s too heavy. Lancome’s L’EXTREME mascara is just right for me because it makes my lashes even longer! It’s clean, curls my lashes, doesn’t flake, and goes on ever so smoothly.

I got my M.A.C pigment as a gift from a friend. “Naked” is a great colour as it has just the right shimmer, it looks great on the inner corners of the eyes and on the bottom lid along with some liner. For some more drama, you can brush a touch on top of your cheekbones for a night out.

While I pretty much only wear what I just told you, the amount of makeup that I own would make you think otherwise. I own a lot of makeup, most of which I use once every 2 years (I don’t think you’re even supposed to keep it for that long). Before, I kept it all in multiple makeup bags - very unorganized. Now I keep it one big pouch,thanks to my friend A who has started to make these adorable pouches that she sells on Etsy. Awesome prints, really great quality, and the perfect carrier for all my stuff.

That’s what I’ve got in my bag, what are your essentials?
