My Beauty To Go Kit (Video)


The best thing about getting a To Go order (aka takeaway or take out) from a restaurant is you have everything you need, right there, all in one place. There's no preparation, no time lost, no searching around for ingredients, it's all there. The same idea applies to my Beauty To Go Kit: the essentials for quick makeup application. Keep it in your purse (or Johnny bag) or next to the sink for easy use. Enjoy.

Perfect For:
  • when you're tired (aka every day)
  • when you've overslept and have 5 min to get ready
  • college students
  • moms
  • running errands
  • those who want a minimal makeup routine
  • those who don't want beauty tools (just use clean fingers)
  • traveling or on-the-go
  • avoiding hearing, "OMG you look sick/tired/etc." ALL DAY
  • saving time (no rummaging around looking for products)
  • YOU
What's Inside:


BB or CC Cream
Concealer
  • necessity for hiding dark circles--I suggest a peachy corrector.
    • Try Bare Minerals, Bobbi Brown, It Cosmetics
Cream Shadow
  • look more awake with a satin shadow slightly lighter than your skin tone
  • or try a brown or taupe for those days when you want to look like you put in more effort ;)
Mascara
  • sometimes just curling the lashes works wonders, but I swear by a coat of mascara on top and bottom lashes
Cheek/Lip Tint
  • 2 products in one!
    • I love Stila's Convertible Color, but try Be a Bombshell's The One Stick, NARS Multiple, Benetint, Sonia Kashuk
Lip Crayon
  • okay, I admit, I will skip the blush if Im in a hurry, but I've gotta have some color on my lips.
  • these require no mirror, no sharpening, and no skill, plus they come in a variety of colors/finishes
Check out my quick video below, where I go into more detail on each product!

  1. I ended up getting a Lip Crayon after I saw them on your blog, and I really like it! I actually got an NYC Crayon to try out first, and it's working really well!

  18. Okay I totally need to put one of these together for myself to take to the hospital for when the baby is born! I've been stressing that I won't have enough time to pack up all my makeup once I go into labor, but since I need it daily I can't really pre-pack right now. Something like this might be the perfect solution for those newborn photo ops!

  33. Great video and recommended products for a fool-proof and timeless look! I think it would be so cool if they sold a pre-done kit IN a Chinese food container! I think that would be kind of adorable! :)
