Essential make up items
Lately I became drawn to minimalist lifestyle and made some major changes to my wardrobe as well as cosmetic bag. I also love doing short 2-3 day local trips and packing minimalist style helps to travel with less stress and packing/unpacking.
I discovered very unusual beauty products that provide me with full make up and yet occupy very minimal space in my travel bag. In fact I only take 5 items: DD or BB cream, eye shadow with eye liner (2 in 1), mascara, eye brows makeup kit and lipstick.
1) Lou Mes’I Eye shadow (eye liner cream). Eye shadow with eye liner, brush and tiny mirror (it is like 4 in 1 ☺)
I ordered 2 of those because I wanted 2 different shadow tints; I ordered tint #2 and #4. Tint #2 is a brighter one and I use it for a daytime make up. Tint #4 is darker and works perfectly for an evening look. On seller’s page both tints look as if they have orange colour in them, but in real life there is no orange hint at all.
Seller’s description
Eyeshadow eyeliner: Enhance the three-dimension sense of the eye; the eye puffiness effectively modified; Pearl effect.
Product specification: 10 gr 3 gr
Suitable for any skin type.

Eyeliner is easily applied with tiny brush which is works perfectly for the purpose; eyeliner lasts me the whole day and I do not do any corrections throughout the day. There is no chipping, no messing up, no fading. Brush is small, well designed, retractable.
2) Imagic professional cosmetics. Giant brush perfect mascara

This mascara is simply the best lashes lengthening mascara on a budget.

Mascara brush is giant as noted on manufacturer box and product description. Brush is made out of silicone but it is very soft an does not hurt eyes. Mascara is easy to apply; it dries out very fast; it is waterproof and lasts all day, no chipping. It does not stick eye lashes together; visibly increases lashes’ volume and length
3) BB or DD cream
Price: $4.99 US
Prices: $4.15 US
I prefer using BB or DD cream over foundation due to my oily skin. I also like light weight texture and SPF containing ingredients. You can read review of my favourite tinted moisturizers by following this link.
4) Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick
I love this lipstick. It is a matte type of lipstick, but what I love about it that it does not make my lips feel dry. I hate this dry feeling on my lips and it is one of the reasons I do not wear matte lipstick on a daily basis (until I discovered this one). This lipstick lasts long time and can survive through drinking coffee or even having dinner☺. You can check order this lipstick on amazon in variety of shades.
Price: $13.99 US
5) Ucanbe Professional Eye Brow Makeup 2 Colour
Price: $2.34 US
It is a very good eye brow kit, especially considering the price. Seller has 4 colour sets available; I ordered set #2 and I find it to be the most natural. Colours are exactly as claimed by the seller. The brush is very good quality and shapes eyebrows perfectly. Brows look natural. Makeup stays all day long, no need to reapply.
This is my minimalist makeup collection. Please, share this page if you like it. Enjoy!
Thats a nice post. Not much into makeups… but can look up to this post if I want to try someday 😀
Wow! This is so amazing, the first one is like eating your cake and having it. And to crown it all the prices are really friendly.
These look interesting, all i need is a foundation, mascara and some rouge. 🙂
