What's in my traincase?

The lovely blogging support site BlogLoveTherapy is featuring a blog hop this week - What's in your makeup bag? (Or, for me, what's in your traincase?) I don't want to always spam my blog with these, but I would love some more followers, and the theme was just too fitting. I have A LOT of stuff in my train case, so I thought I'd pick my essentials, plus a product or two I'm really loving right now!



1. Tarte Lipsurgence in Joy: If you've read any of recent Birchbox posts, then you know that I got this full-sized lip tint in my box this month. Despite my initial distaste of the color, I absolutely love this product. No orange lips here! I don't wear this everyday, but when I want to highlight my lips, this is my current go-to color.

2. Maybelline Great Lash mascara: My everyday mascara! I love this for day use because it makes my lashes look nice but isn't too glamorous for my boring, daily activities, like class and work. 

3. e.l.f. Studio Tinted Moisturizer in Nude: I love this tinted moisturizer because it evens out my skin tone without being as heavy as a normal foundation. Plus, at three dollars a bottle, it doesn't break the bank. 

4. essie Navigate Her: This is my top choice for spring nail color. Not only is it trendy right now, but the formula is amazing and can last me at least a week with no chips and little tip wear. 

5. e.l.f. Essentials Brightening Eye Color in Punk Funk: I love this palette because of it's diversity (even if the name is so stereotypically irritating). I typically just wear the white on a day-to-day basis, but the pink, purple, and blue are all fun for a party.  

6. beautyblender: I got this reusable makeup sponge in my February Birchbox, and I have to say it is phenomenal. Just run this little baby under some water, let it bloat for a few seconds, and get a perfectly blended face, whether it's tinted moisturizer or foundation. Although I don't use this everyday - sometimes I'm running out of time and just slather on my face products with my fingers - I still love this neat little item.

  3. How is the great lash mascara? I was going to pick it up when I was at the store a few days ago but in the end I didn't buy it. I love my Maybelline Falsies but if you think Great Lash is just as good or better, let me know? I might change my mind and decide to try it :) Thanks

    1. I really like it. It's good for daily use, in my opinion. It extends the lashes but still looks natural for the more boring things in life. I guess it depends how much length you want. I haven't tried the falsies, though I do use a different mascara for going out.
