My Tagaytay Makeup Kit

Summer vacation #1: Tagaytay

Of all the weirdest places to go swimming. Hahahaha. That's right. Went to Tagaytay to go swimming @ Canyon Woods. My tan was just a tad sunkissed but not burnt to a crisp tan, but at least I got some color. I still got a few beach trips hopefully as summer looms in more so I'm taking advantage of the water to get a summer color. :)

Anyhoo... being a makeup addict I packed in a separate makeup bag with these babies:

It couldn't fit a small pouch bag so I settled for a mini-train case. I filled it with the essentials and a few colored items in case I want to go adventurous. Since I presumed that I'd get darker, I packed in bronzer and illuminizers. I still got my trusty bronzer - E.L.F. Healthy Glow Bronzing powder, my bronzer that I swear makes me look like I got that back-from-the-beach glow even if I didn't or if I did, it enhances my skin tone.

I didn't bother much with eyeshadows and just focus on perfect skin, lipsticks (notice the reds I brought and some neutrals) and define brows and lots of lashes and long-lasting mascara. This is also where I tested my MAC Prep+Prime lash (review to come soon) I tend to bring a lot although I'm mostly in the water or just eating (EEEK!) since I have this "Just in case I need to doll up" feeling. heeheehee... at most I just came up with this natural look, which I wore going home:









Just evening out the skin with concealer and powder, framing the brows with eyebrow makeup, a bit of eyeliner and bronze pigments, mascara, and bronzer. I forgot to put lipstick here, and since I just attacked some mcdonald's fries and Coke (Zero) Float, I just had lip butter here.

Tan development #1 done... Hopefully, I'll end summer with a more distinct tan line.
