13rushes Travel Brush Set

Its vacation time!! I'm packed and ready to go. Here's what I'm bringing with me I tried to keep it light but seems like that's not an option for me. I carried everything in two no name brand train case that I've purchased years ago. I was a little frustrated while I was packing the face & cheeks products I didn't want to carry more than two blushes and foundations. I picked things that I usually reach out for and also avoided taking bulky palettes. I'm taking my adorable 13rushes travel set brushes along with some of my favorite full size brushes that I can't live without. Keep in mind I'm packing for 2 weeks and it will be during my husbands birthday which is why I threw in some glitter and pigments. Packing makeup is a hectic thing to do well at least for me I feel like I need everything so I keep adding things as much as I can fit inside that little case.  I did eliminate a few things which is why they are not listed down below.

For those who are planning on traveling soon hope this helps. Here's some tips don't take any mineralized products since they break quite easily. I also try to take neutral earthy tones eyeshadows since those shades will go with any outfits and you can use a colorful eye liner to add a pop of color. Make sure you're taking a foundation that photographs well since during vacation we tend to take lots of pictures. I also try to avoid taking any limited edition products I love cause I actually lost a few products while traveling in the past. Last but not least put any liquid products in a ziplock bag just incase if any leaking occurs. Hope you guys enjoyed this long picture heavy post.

Guerlain Madame Rougit Blush

Guerlain Madame Rougit Blush, it comes with a brush which is really soft but i don't see myself using this brush to apply this blush.


Guerlain Madame Rougit Blush Swatch 
I didn't swatch each colors cause it wasn't showing up well so i just mixed all the colors and swatched it. the texture of this blush is very soft goes on smooth and blends easily. guerlain mentioned this blush will highlight as well but i didn't notice anything like that. the finishing of this blush is satiny there is slight sheen to it which i think came from the little pearls once its gone the blush will be left with more of a matte finish . This blush lasted about 6 hour on my oily to combination skin after 6 hour it started to fade a little. I'm not impressed with this blush at all for the price i wish the pigmentation was better . i must admit i did fall for this blush cause of the pretty embossing and packaging I'm a sucker for pretty packaging . i also noticed this blush looks better on then swatched on my hand. this blush really let me down i suggest you skip this one and save your money.

Guerlain Rouge G Madame Batifole Lipstick
It's a raspberry fuchsia color, its  blue under toned with  micro shimmer the camera couldn't pick up the little micro shimmers but it's there guys and it is gorgeous . i love matte finish lipsticks but this gorgeous magenta color satin finish lipstick won me over. this does not last long though i have to reapply after 3 to 4 hours that's the only reason i love matte lipsticks they last longer . i totally suggest you guys check this lipstick out i really want to purchase one more lipstick from this collection but i need to kill those sweet thoughts cause I'm saving up for something else =(  this collection also includes some eye shadow duos,eye liners and nail polish.



 
 
Guerlain Maxi Lash Mascara
Price $32.00
Color 01 Noir Black
.28 fl oz
 

  
 
 What it does - A volume creating and curl sculpting mascara
 
I really like the packaging of this mascara,a slick gold luxurious tube and smells amazing. i have thin lashes that lays flat so its really hard to get them looking curled and full. the formula of this mascara is much more thinner  than the Chanel LVDC in a another word its very lightweight. although guerlain claims this mascara to be a curl sculpting mascara that's not how it works for me. the curls doesn't last more than 2 hours on me but this does lengthens my lashes. the brush is mix of a short and long bristles this brush is really good for separating your lashes.

 
this is after i applied 3 coats of the mascara for the lucky ones out there who already have natural long curled lashes don't need to apply 3 coats of this mascara. i have to apply at least 3 coats to get my lashes looking full long and volumized , i didn't experience any flaking or smudging .overall i really like this mascara you can build it up to achieve a long full thick lashes or you can just apply one coat and go on about your day.
 
Do I Recommend it - YES!!
Will I Repurchase - YES!!




Hey everyone i did a neutral look with a pop of color for my daughters moving up ceremony and i wanted to share with you all. i haven't used my pressed pigments in a while. i just grabbed mac's melon pigment i love using this color during summer time.also i didn't get the chance to do my brows so please excuse them but i think i did a good job making them look decent one of my fave thing to do when it comes to applying makeup is doing my brows.
 p.s. i think I'm finally warming up to blue color  =)

Clarisonic Mia 
Amorepacific Treatment Enzyme Peel

I always loved my clarisonic but sometimes i forget about it but last month i used this 2-3 times a week and my skin feels so soft and smooth.season changing caused some dry patches peeling so clarisonic helped a lot.i received the peel as a sample and my god this stuff is amazing, its so gentle i know peel sounds kind of scary.but believe me guys this is so gentle not to mention this will last me a long time and it smells so good i will definitely do a review on this.
