My Make-Up Bag: Top 10 Can't Live Without Items

Create a top-ten list on your blog of a topic of your choosing (as long as it’s consistent with the focus of your blog). You are welcome to include images or video, and it can be fun or informative.

Here is my top 10 beauty-on-the-go must have items that I haul around in my signature over-size handbags 24/7. You will never find me standed on a deserted island without 'em!





Sugarbomb Face Powder - Benefit $28 USD (available at Sephora.com)
These four unique shades of rose, shimmering pink, soft plum, and peach blend together perfectly for a delicious "sugar rush flush". I like to pair this face powder with one of my fave facial illuminators... 

Super Orgasm Face Illuminator - NARS $30 (available at Sephora.com)
A multifunctional face product that gives skin a refreshed luminosity. Use as a highligher to achieve a soft, shimmery glow and or mix with liquid foundation to brighten a dull complexion.

Pink Sugar Rollerball - Aquolina $20 USD (available at Sephora.com)

Stylish and lively, with a distinctive personality, Pink Sugar takes you on a journey through the pleasures and flavors of childhood with a playful blend of vanilla and caramel. I adore the convenience of rollerball perfume! I wish I could score more of my favorite scents in a purse & travel friendly roll-ons.


Cremesheen Lipstick in Fanfare - MAC Cosmetics $14.50 USD (available at MAC boutiques, counters or online) 
Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous. This mid-tone yellow pink is great neutral for my olive complexion, looks fabulous with a layer of shimmery gloss over-top.   
Le Gloss Star Lip Shine in Électrique - Annabelle Cosmetics ($8.99 CAD available at Shoppers Drug Mart)

Pure lustrous shine! Annabelle's Le Gloss caresses your lips with a smooth and brilliant shine! Translucent, sparkly and non-sticky, it feels natural, as if you weren’t wearing any. Its perfectly designed tube lets you use every last drop!

  
Le BIG Show Mascara in Black - Annabelle Cosmetics ($9.99 CAD available at Shoppers Drug Mart)
Want lashes that will turn heads? Bat your way to glamour land with the new Le Big Show mascara. The wand does it all: mega volume from the first stroke. Each lash is separated without clumps to give you seemingly endless length. Why fake what you already have? The secret: buildable formula and nylon bristles to coat each and every lash! Smooth and flake-free, the unique formula beautifies your lashes without smudging or running.

Smudgeliner in Wired - Annabelle Cosmetics ($8.99 CAD available at Shoppers Drug Mart)
 With their superior long-lasting formula and rich colour pay-off, Annabelle Smudgeliners are a must-have to add depth to any look! Let them glide to create a defined line, or blend gently with the built-in smudger tip to achieve a smoky, sultry look.

 
Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow in Copper Chic - Maybelline ($12.99 CAD available at Shoppers Drug Mart)
Rich color. Smooth feel. Now silk makes shadow new again. Exclusive formula with silk pigments creates the ultimate shadow texture and luminosity. Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, ophthalmologist-tested. This a great shadow quad and gives intensely rich colour when applied wet.
  
Express Finish 50-Second Nail Color in Grape Times ($5.99 CAD available at Wal-Mart)

 My favorite brand of quick-dry nail color. Brush provides liberal coverage and sets in 50 seconds. Express Finish comes in 20 fresh shades (my favorite being "Blushing Bride" a perfect blush tone) and features ADVANCED WEAR® anti-chip color and EXCLUSIVE CONTROL-FLOW™ BRUSH. 










Pigment in Tan - MAC Cosmetics ($20 USD available at MAC boutiques, counters or online)
Pigment is a highly concentrated loose colour powder that contains ingredients to help it adhere to the skin. Create a subtle wash of colour or an intense effect. Does not streak or cake. Easy to blend and long-lasting.
