Beauty Moment: What's In My Makeup Bag


This is a new one for me, but as a state titleholder in the Beauty world, it's about time I get sharing what's going on in my makeup bag. I always love seeing these posts on Youtube and in the Blog-sphere and I got a whole new kit that I've been loving so I figured now is the perfect time to share my first Makeup Bag spill.


This cute bag I probably got from Ipsy and has been holding some of my new additions.


PRIMER: I kind of consider primer as part of my skincare prep routine, but it's in my makeup bag so here we go! I always jump between primers but right now, my go-to is Smashbox The Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur.

 

CONCEALER: When I start slipping on my self-care, my skin is the FIRST thing to tell everyone how stressed out I am! Because of that, I've been stockpiling an arsenal of concealer to keep my skin issues on the low. It Cosmetics has the perfect shade to blend with my skin tone in their Bye Bye Under Eye full coverage anti-aging waterproof concealer in deep, so I use that to fill out any flaws that are really bugging me. Then, I use a mixture of Smashbox second-skin concealer in with it to highlight under my eyes and my jaw area. Then if I'm feeling like I need an extra pop, I use YSL Beauty's Touche Eclat Radiant Touch on top and along my forehead, chin and down my nose.


EYELINER: I can never finish a look without some kind of eyeliner and I like it thick, black and winged to the heavens. I got 2 really amazing IT Cosmetics kits and this Superhero liner has been in my go-to kit since! I've been scared of liquid eyeliner because it makes me feel like I can't make a mistake or else I've ruined EVERYTHING but I haven't had a single problem applying this it feels just like a pencil in my hand and is so easy to maneuver


MASCARA: I go through mascara SO quickly, and this is one I keep coming back to! Superhero Mascara from IT Cosmetics is such a beautiful addition to my makeup look every single time. It lengthens my lashes and gives me a sturdy foundation if I chose to apply extra lashes and helps make my eyes pop in a way that I really love.


BROWS: My natural eyebrows are such a challenge! They are thick, but short and grow all kinds of uneven. I have been using the IT Cosmetics Brow Power pencil and it makes it SO easy for me to fill in and darken what I'm working with!


BLUSH: I love a good flush of color on my cheeks! I've been using this one forever, Milani Powder Blush in Tea Rose. I don't use blush daily, only when I know I'm going to be filming something or I want to give a more youthful look. I love how pink this one is.


FOUNDATION: I love switching up what foundation I use, and what type whether it's liquid, cream, stick or powder. Right now I'm using the Celebration foundation from IT Cosmetics. This is a powder foundation that has buildable coverage without turning cakey, it's anti-aging and hydrating all in one!


HIGHLIGHT: Lately, I've been feeling a more natural glow and the Highlighter in my Hello Cheekbones duo gives me exactly that. It is a kind of champaign color that feels SO warm and inviting on my cheekbones. This Duo comes with a matte bronzer.



SHADOW PALLETE: This totally depends on what vibe I'm trying to give today! I made a TikTok using my Superhero eyeshadow palette from IT Cosmetics and I really love the colors and the looks I can create with it. I usually use some of my Smashbox + The Hoodwitch Cover Shot: Crystalized Eye Palled and Always on Liquid Eye Shadow from that line in Rich Craft for that sparkle I love too!


LIPS: I have been loving the matte lip look for a minute, and Kylie Cosmetics makes such a great lip kit. Right now, I'm attached to Mary Jo K Matte Liquid Lipstick and Lipliner team. It gives me a really bright red that helps me pull my look together.



I love adding new things to my makeup bag and testing out new products! Do you have a new favorite in your bag? Let me know all about it down in the comments or on Twitter!

Vegas Bound: Christmas In Vegas 2019

Christmas in Las Vegas is really SUCH a magical thing. The Las Vegas strip sprinkles a little bit of holiday magic all over EVERYTHING, and it is so beautiful! All of our usual attractions, like the Bellagio Fountain bring the Christmas cheer with holiday music playing this season. I'd LOVE for the world to start looking at Vegas during the Holiday season, so here's a couple of things to be aware of, what's going on and my recommendations. SO, Vegas is not really less busy during the Holiday Season.  So don’t expect any holiday discounts or extra space it will be the general amount of crowded...if not a bit more! Buffets and full course meal/dine-in options are going to be a little more expensive b/c they are going to be WAY more decked out than usual. It’s cold as all hell here to me right now it’s like in the 50s all week so bundle up for that. But there are SO many things happening, most things are going to be open and at its usual hours except for like our l...

Why I Meditate

I love meditation. My life has totally turned around since I started taking time to be still and turn inward instead of always focusing so hard outward. There's no pressure to meditation, you can meditate for as long or as quickly as you'd like. You have no one to be accountable to, no one to impress, nothing to do but focus on yourself and take a moment for self-care. I started meditating probably about 9 years ago (don't do that math), but I didn't start doing it regularly until the last 3 years. It gives me the time to STOP reflecting on the day, stop thinking back on things I could have done differently, stop planning for the future and just be present. I practice some different energy healing modalities such as Reiki & the Seraphim Blueprint and use crystals and anything else that vibes with me to get in the zone. When I first started, I loved using guided meditations to "clear my chakras" or just talk me through relaxation and give my ...

Here are a few things to do outside of clubbing, shows...

Nikki On Vegas: The New Launch

Welcome to the new Nikki On Vegas Blog. I've had some huge changes in my life in the past year and a half that I needed to reflect into my online presence. The New New   Get a similar sweater dress here. Size up for maternity. About a year and a half ago, I was blogging regularly, all over social media and completely content to keep blogging specifically about Vegas and helping people have their best vacations ever. Then I got pregnant! I had a super difficult pregnancy and couldn't keep up with the lifestyle I had before at all. Since having my beautiful, amazing, miracle baby I realized that I have SO MUCH MORE that I want to talk about, share, and learn. It took me WAY too long to figure out how to do that and still provide the Vegas info, reviews, tips and tricks that I love so much. But! I'm back, the Vegas is still here, I've just expanded to much much more.  All of my social media will remain @NikkiOnVegas, so kee...
