Beauty on the go
There’s something about an overturned foundation bottle that makes us CRRRAAAAAZZZY.
We like our bottles to be nice and clean with no crusty product dried between the threads or gooped all up in the cap making a mess every time we unscrew it. For this reason, it is a rare occassion that we bring liquid foundation with us when we’re on the go.
And as much as we love tinted moisturizers, sometimes we need a little more coverage than they can provide.
It’s times like these that we count on MAX Factor Pan-Stik Ultra Creamy Makeup to give us smooth, creamy, medium to full coverage with a demi-matte finish. This stick foundation blends easily and can also double as a concealer in a pinch.
And? No goopy mess in our Makeup Bag.
MAX Factor Pan-Stik, $7.75
I don’t know why, but I’m very obsessed with foundation right now, mostly because I just discovered how amazing it can make your skin look if you buy something high quality. The thing is, I’m not so good at taking it off at the end of the day. Know any good makeup removers?

Hi Alison, thanks for stopping by. I’m kind of obsessed with foundation too! I don’t like to use makeup remover on my face (I just use it for my eye makeup) but I like Stila’s Eye Makeup Remover Pads and also Rimmel Makeup Remover. For foundation, I use my daily face wash to clean it off and it works great for me. Just try to wash for a full 60-90 seconds before rinsing.

Great idea…so true…why do cosmetic companies create such messy foundation bottles. I love Laura Mercier’s foundation, but the cap drives me crazy! It breaks and ends up being a goopy mess. Anyway I’ll have to remember this tip when I travel next time.Thanks!
