I’m writing to you from my hotel room in Times Square NYC. It sure is noisy here–but what a great hotel!It got me thinking about the makeup and beauty products I packed for the trip. I realized that the products I put into my makeup bag for traveling isn’t just haphazardly selected, but instead it subconsciously is really what I consider my must-have’s and favorite products. So I snapped a picture for you, so you can see what I’ve taken on my journey to the land of expensive taxi’s.

It’s been so long since I’ve worn liquid foundation; it’s just something I only typically wear in the winter. With mineral makeup increasing in popularity and their foundations being mainly powders, I was wondering how many of you stick to powder foundations throughout the winter and how many of you are like me and use liquid and powder in the colder months?

Maybelline Shine Seduction.
With 20 seductive creams and shimmers, and the fact that it looks eriely similar to e.l.f.’s Moisture Lip Care, makes me wonder if the colors are better and it if works just as good. (And darn it, I can’t find a picture of it on the web anywhere!)

Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Foundation.
