Becca Cosmetics Bombara Palette! Life Saver!

Focus on being thankful despite how bad you think things are.  Then you will realize that it is not so bad.

Well who would have thunk it?  I think I lost my make up bag.  It is such an epic tragedy.  I keep hoping it will turn up.  I have called every place I visited and no make up bag.  I am so devastated. Why?  Well for one it was a Harrods make up bag my friend Natasha gifted me.  I mean it traveled all the way from London.  Second, I had all of my latest and greatest make up in the bag. Becca and Mac lip glosses, Lancôme Defencils mascara, a discontinued Lancôme eye pencil in Gold Blaze and about 2 Nars Blushes.  Waah!

Anyhoo, when I discovered the "missing make up bag", the only make up I had in my purse was my Becca Bombara Palette. Boy did this come in handy.  I was able to create a fresh and glowing that rocked in 10 minutes.  The only thing this little Palette is missing is a tube of Defencils mascara. Oh well, you can't have everything.  LOL!

The Bombora Palette is gorgeous and contains from left to right: Mai Tai lip gloss, Bougainvillea lip and cheek creme, Mazu highlighting creme, Raffia eyeliner, Sunburst eyeliner.

I applied the Sunburst eyeliner....It was the closest I could get to my beloved Lancome Gold Blaze eye pencil.  I then applied the Mazu highlighting creme to my brow and on the top of my cheek bone.  Next I applied the Bougainvillea lip and cheek creme with my fingertips to the apple of my cheeks.  Lastly, I applied the Mai Tai lip gloss to my lips.  I looked so peachy and natural.  It was a perfect look for a day on the beach, or in my case, a beautiful sunny afternoon.  I love this Palette.  Now I have had it for quite some time, but usually I use the Raffia blue eyeliner and the highlighting creme only.  I really did not think the Mai Tai lip gloss or the Bougainvillea lip and cheek creme would look good on my skin tone.  But Becca has really shocked me with how well the colors work with my skin tone. Fabulous!

I will upload some pics of my face utilizing this gorgeous Palette in a few days.  Don't worry pics will be coming soon because this is all I am using until my make up bag resurfaces or until I buy more make up. Sigh.

Toodles!

I Heart Make-Up Bags

Hello Divas!

I am glad today is Friday. How about you? What a week! Well I was cleaning and organizing my beauty closet...which is actually all the space underneath my bathroom sink, (lol!) and I realized that I had a stash of make up bags. Now if you are a make up junkie like me, you know that carrying a make up bag is ESSENTIAL. I have make up bags in different sizes, textures, and colors. Basically, I have a make up bag to suit every occassion and fancy!
Right now I am rocking my small and compact leather Helena Rubinstein make-up bag I received as a gift with purchase in 2000! Obviously well made and just too fab! I use this make up bag when I do not want my make up bag to take up too much space in my purse. I also have a red suede Chanel make up bag I received as a gift when purchasing my Chanel No. 5 perfume collection. I just love the texture and the bright red color is so fashionable. I carry this make-up bag when I am rocking my hobo shoulder bag. I also received this too fabulous make up bag/clutch from Mac when purchasing a set of make up brushes. I actually pair this clutch with a cool short summer frock when going out on the town. Too cute! And ladies in tribute to the make-up bag, I have included several bags in different price ranges and styles for your viewing pleasure.
