I Just Lost My Makeup Bag—8 Items I'm Repurchasing and 15 I'm Excited to Try
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she has to throw everything out and start fresh. Mine came a couple of weeks ago when I carelessly left my makeup bag in the foyer of my apartment building not knowing that would be the last time we saw each other. Now, this moment could have easily devolved into my villain origin story, but I am choosing to take the high road and dive into all the possibilities of this new me instead. New makeup bag, who this? Separation has definitely made my heart grow fonder for the holy-grail items that I simply cannot live without, and as for everything else, I won’t settle for anything less than love.
This time around, I’m going for a no-makeup makeup, fresh-off-the-beach look and buying multi-use products to get more bang for my buck. Below are the eight items I will definitely be repurchasing along with the 15 that come highly recommended by experts and I’m so excited to try. Keep scrolling to see how I’m going about assembling my new dream team of makeup products. You surely will not be disappointed.
Items I'll Be Repurchasing
Excited to Try
As summer approaches, I'm excited to try this breathable formula as my daytime foundation. Plus, it's known to improve the appearance of skin clarity over time due to ingredients that protect the skin's barrier, including from the blue light emanating from your computer screen.
My ancestors passed down my dark under-eyes, for which I am grateful. For times when I'm searching for a more uniform look, though, I'm excited to try this Bobbi Brown corrector that counteracts the bluish-purple color under my eyes. Plus, it's sweat- and humidity-resistant, which is perfect for my lifestyle.
This setting powder is at the top of everyone's list for its instant blurring effects. 90% of people who tried it said that it doesn't settle into fine lines, which is my primary concern when it comes to my makeup these days, so I'm definitely giving this one a try!
