Next up in our Summer Makeup Bag Contest is Marie. Here’s what Marie says about her collection:

I have a Felix Rey cosmetic bag, I can’t remember how I came along makeupbag.net but the first post I saw

was Daneen’s makeup bag blog and I saw the bag and fell in love. I’m a BIG TIME traveler and this is a bag that

fits everything! I’m always changing up my makeup on how I feel to how I dress so it’s crucial I bring a huge

variety, you know just in case!

Half of my products were bought from Sephora so I can take advantage of the deluxe samples that last me

longer than usual and that of course is a smart money saving idea. In the picture you see a lot of samples I makeup

pinch =) I love my mascaras such as Benefit’s Badgal mascara in every color! I thought Benefit’s blue mascara would

look horrid but it actually fits in casually without looking like you came out of the club. My must haves are Fresh’s SUGAR

lip treament, Chanel powder, benefit mascara, 24k Shu Uemura eyelash curler, Jurlique daily balancing cream and my

grassroots vitamin c power brightning cream that has SPF 25 that I just swipe under my eyes and cheek indents (not bones)

Thanks for sharing with us, Marie. The winner of this contest will be announced tomorrow.

Today we’re featuring the summer makeup bag of Sezin. Here’s what’s in Sezin’s makeup bag:

Although I’ve got 5 big make up bags for travel, i use this one because it’s see through and very light and easy to carry everywhere. And you can pack it in 5 minutes. Since I found out these advantages of this bag, I’ve thrown away the other elegant and pretty bags and been using this wherever I go.

As for my make up products:
-Garnier Ambre Solaire Sun Protection Spray SPF50: I have light skin and bronze skin doesn’t suit me at all. And my skin is a bit allergic, so I always try to use protection before I put my makeup on.
-Elidor Passionate Red Leave In Conditioner: This emphasises red hair and gives your hair the shape you want. This has been my favourite hair product of this summer.
-Golden Rose Stick Concealer White: As I said before I have light skin and to cover darker areas like under-eyes, I use this product. And it’s also good as an eyeshadow base.
-Lady Rose Foundation light: I don’t use foundation all over my face. I’ve never liked the feeling of covering your face. I just use this for some higher pigmented areas on my face. It equalizes the tone in a way. But I have to use my white stick concealer because otherwise those areas look a lot more pigmented. If I only use stick it looks unnatural so this way I can balance it.
-Eyelash Curler: I almost always use this. Even if I’m alone at home. Sometimes I heat it then curl my lashes for 15 sec. They look amazing so I don’t need mascara.
-Tweezers and scissors: I always carry these with me as i have very dark hair and very light skin. I pluck my eyebrows almost everyday!!
-Pastel Dark Grey Eye Shadow: This fits with whatever I wear. With only this product I can pass all the vacation:)
-Eyeshadow brushes: These smooth and easy-to-apply brushes are indispensible for me!!
-Avon Super Full Mascara: I’m almost in love with this! When I don’t have time to curl my lashes I apply 2 layers of this and then the curly look is there! And without making your lashes sticky.
-Essence Eye Liner black: The brush is not so easy to apply but i can apply almost all eye-liners without a mistake. It can create very thin lines, as if there’s no eyeliner, but defines eyes perfectly while doing so. So it’s ok for me.
-Avon Pro-to-go lipstick provocative plum: Very beautiful colour that really suits me. That’s MY colour!! And it contains SPF15. However not so long-lasting
-Avon Colour Trend Transculent Powder light: I use this powder to make my lipstick last longer. It really works.
-Alix Avien and Carmina lipliners: For a natural and casual look i use alix avien 336, and for formal look I use carmina dark red lipstick.
-Avon Colour Trend cherry lip balm: Use this usually under my make up. I apply this and after that I colour my lips with lipliners only! to create a matte and extremely defined look, it lasts longer,too.
- Avon Perfect Wear Makeup Remover: This is for long lasting makeup products especially. It removes the make up without a trace. It has an oily feeling and you have to rinse it off after removing your make up with a cotton. But no other products including milks has never removed my make up this successfully.

So these are my indispensables for a summer makeup bag. A very fun contest!!!

Thanks so much for sharing with us Sezin!

Hi friends!

I’m heading out the door for school but just HAD TO POST this picture of New Moon hottie Taylor Lautner on the October issue of Teen Vogue.

I heard that he was dating Selena Gomez. Any one know what his girlfriend situation is? Ahahha!

For behind the scenes photos of Taylor’s Teen Vogue shoot, go here: http://www.teenvogue.com/go/taylorlautner

The October issue of Teen Vogue featuring Taylor Lautner is hitting stands September 8th.

Typically, I tend to gravitate toward basic patterns and neutral shades, but there’s something so whimsical and feminine about this colorful scarf from Nordstrom!

I’m absolutely crazy for the cute, playful polka dots, and love the fact that it’s reversible. The gray, gloomy days of fall can get a bit grating, but I think this seriously not serious scarf paired with basic black or dark gray would go a long way to brighten anyone’s day!

Available in Aqua Multi (shown), Coffee Bright, Black Multi or Grey Bright from Nordstrom for $28 each.
