Guess what I'm going to do. I'm going to share a working mama makeup trick today.
(The world is not ending, I promise.)
For those of you who know me and see my bare face daily, I give you permission to laugh.
You see, I literally rush out the house everyday so it's much easier to whip out one makeup compact wherever I am and put on my face. I try to, at least. 15% successful attempts.
But I like to pretend I'm more professional and grown-up with this in my bag:

I've lived with it for a year and it's great, but it's not a perfect solution yet. What this kit doesn't have is what I need most: liner, concealer and lip balm. Come to think of it, that's more of my ideal everyday face than the stuff in this compact!
So one night, I was alone at home for the first time. Ladybug Girl and Awesome Guy left me to wait for my airport taxi alone, so I got DIY-ing on the perfect travel compact to take with me:
I scraped off the nearly-finished lipstick on the upper right |
My concealer went in there:
Scraped to the last bit! Awesome.

I gave up an eyeshadow color - just popped it out with a blade:
Scraped it and wiped it clean:
And sliced off a little lip balm!
Then I threw out the old mascara and put in an eyeliner gel pen that fits:
So clever! I don't really wear make-up except for my eyebrows but this will really come in handy when traveling! Awesome tip! :)
