In between the traveling and early morning workouts, my makeup bag has been getting a lot of use these days. In fact, over the past 2 weeks I only did my makeup at home one morning! Since I’m spending more time applying makeup in gym bathrooms and hotel rooms, I’ve taken a bit of extra time lately to stock up on my makeup bag essentials. I tend to buy travel size products so all my favorite beauty items can squeeze in my small makeup bag without weighing down my purse or gym bag.

It’s been over a year since I shared the insides of my makeup bag and surprisingly only one item is the same – my mascara. A beauty product lover, due in part to my job in the industry, I always find myself experimenting with new products and color combinations.

 Here are the 10 makeup items that I swear by these days, in order of application!

Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free Foundation Primer – Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum 20 – Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Foundation Powder – Dolce&Gabbana bronzer in desert– Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Color in lotus pink – Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eye Liner in black – Naked3 Eye Shadow Pallet by Urban Decay – Benefit They’re Real Mascara – Cover Girl Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm cupcake twist – Dolce&Gabbana Dolce fragrance pen

What’s the one makeup item you can’t leave home without?
