What's In My Bag?

Make up edition.

I have been trying out some new elf items lately and wanted to let you guys in on my favorites.

I'll show you my every day go to items. 

I don't use every single one of these every day but most days you can find a combination of these on my face. 

1. Elf Mineral Foundation in Warm

Okay, I was skeptical of this but decided to try it out knowing it would be way cheaper than my beloved Bare Minerals.

Verdict: I love it.

I think it is almost identical to BM.

My only complaint would be that it is a little harder to get out (there isn't a dial, just openings)

and they don't carry it at my Target so I had to guess a little with the color.

 I mean, for $5 can you really go wrong?

2. Bare Minerals Warmth

I love love love this bronzer.
This is one BM item I will continue to buy.
I hate when bronzers are sparkly or have glitter so this one is perfect because it has neither, just a great color that is easy to build.

3. Elf Blush in Mellow Mauve

I was using Elf's Pink Passion blush but wanted a more fall/winter color blush.
(that may be the girliest thing I've ever said.)

I ordered Mellow Mauve on a whim and it is perfection.

I think it is the absolute best blush color I have come across in a long time.

4. Elf Eye Brightener
This stuff is downright amazing.
Especially on those mornings you need to feel and look extra awake.
I use it on the inside corners of my eyes and underneath my lower lashes.
Instant wake up!
5. Elf Eyeshadow in Pebble and Oatmeal
Sometimes I use these two together and sometimes I only use the pebble.
The pebble is a great every day, basic brown for your lids.

6. Elf Mineral Eyeshadow in Confident and Temptress
Two more of my favorite colors.
These have a bit of a sheen to them, I usually reserve them for weekend wear.

7. Elf Cream Eyeliner in Black 
I know this eyeliner has been talked about to death but there is a reason for it.
It's amazing!
Many moons ago I had the Stila gel eyeliner and loved it.
I have to say this one is almost identical and way cheaper.
I mean, it's Pink Lou Lou approved, it's gotta be good then, right? 
8. Elf Mineral Eyeshadow Primer in Sheer

This primer is great and really helps their mineral (and regular) eyeshadow stay on all day long.

9. L'oreal Volume Collagen Mascara

I recently purchased this mascara on a trial basis and I am so glad I did!

It is really great at building your lashes up and creating volume.

Those are the 2 things I am always looking for in a mascara and I am so happy to find both in one product.

 10. Bare Minerals Mineral Veil

This is one item that I do not use every day but I still love it.

It is such a great finishing touch and helps your makeup stay set throughout the day.
Again, more of a weekend item.

11. Elf Makeup Mist and Set

This spray really keeps my makeup in place throughout the day.

If I am feeling crazy I will use the Mineral Veil and the Mist and Set and my face isn't going anywhere!

Honorable Mention:

Elf Lip Exfoliator

I just received this gem and I can't get enough of it. 

I have been using it before bed and letting it work it's magic overnight.

It also tastes delicious so that is just extra bonus points in my book! 

There you have, that is what is in my make up bag!
I have clearly developed a full blown elf addiction.

I mean with their variety of products and their prices who can blame me??
