In Our Makeup Bag: Lime Crime Carousel Gloss
Lime Crime is a brand known for bright colors and bold looks. Their lipsticks are my go-to when I want to play up my lips and need long-lasting pigmentation. Seriously, they stain the NEXT day. Obviously, I was beyond excited when Lime Crime announced that they were putting out lip glosses! They promise “semi-opaque coverage combined with bursts of nebulesque sparkle that comes alive in indoor lighting.” Let’s see how they stood up to those claims!

CC Beauty Live: Eye Popping Makeup
I love black eyeliner and white eye shadow, but I particularly love them together. I was on Pinterest the other day setting up my “CC Beauty Live Inspiration” board, follow me and CollegeCandy and you can pin stuff at us!
Our Favorite Makeup of 2011
2011 was truly a great year for In Our Makeup Bag. We experimented with everything from face cream to lipsticks, eye shadows to blush and managed to find a few new products that reached “holy grail” status! If you’re looking to streamline the contents of your makeup bag and need some suggestions — or if you’re just on the hunt for a few new trusty BFFs — we’ve got all your bases (and blemishes) covered.
The Best Beauty Tutorials You’ll Watch This Year
This year has been huge for CC Beauty Live, thanks to you all! We’ve done a lot of cool beauty tutorials, and there’s even more awesome stuff heading your way in the new year. We’ve done product reviews and DIYs, and I’ve tested out more face washes than you can imagine.
In Our Makeup Bag: SUPER by Perricone Hyper Hydrator with Coconut Water
SUPER by Perricone is a brand of skincare that incorporates different “super foods” into their products. The Hyper Hydrator “leaves skin soft to the touch and smelling sweet. As light and refreshing as water from a freshly tapped coconut, this tropical topical treat contains MCT, natural esters found in coconuts that are easily absorbed to quench skin’s thirst.”
CC Beauty Live: Salon Style Blowout At Home
We all know the best part about getting your hair done is the fact that your blowout lasts several days. Okay that and the free scalp massage. But seriously, you always leave the hair salon feeling like you stepped out of a Tresemme commercial.

In Our Makeup Bag: Clarins Holiday Eye Quartet and Rouge Prodige Lipstick
Clarins is a fave brand of mine that happens to put out rather modest collections. Their latest holiday fare boasts only three items: a face powder, eye quad and a lipstick. I have both the quad and lipstick to test out, so let’s see how it goes.
CC Beauty Live: Winter Skin & Hair Tips
While it hasn’t necessarily been too cold down here in the south (as in it was 70 degrees last week), the nights are getting frigid. I can only imagine how it feels up north right now. Winter can be really harsh on your skin and hair, so I want to make sure you all have the proper means of keeping everything under control as the temperature drops.

WTF Friday: Manicures Just Got Dissssgusting
The most extravagant I’ll go with my nails is alternating polish colors on each finger or painting a coat of glitter over my plain polish. I know, that’s so boring. If only I could be like women in Texas who created a brand new nail trend. A nail salon started putting snakeskin on nails! Not just a snakeskin pattern or airbrushing, ACTUAL SNAKESKIN!

In Our Makeup Bag: Lise Watier Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss Pencil
Lise Watier is a niche brand from Quebec, Canada, specializing in high-quality cosmetics and skincare. Their Lip Kiss Crayon Gloss pencil is one of my favorite products from the brand and I’m excited to share it with you!
The Craziest Eyeshadow You’ve Ever Seen
I feel bad for the male gender 90% of the time. Mostly because I see them as the lesser sex..but hey don’t we all? Another reason I feel bad for them is that they don’t get to use make-up. That’s not an airtight statement, but for the most part foundations, shadows and lip shades are left for us girls. But with this great gift of makeup comes great responsibility that some have chosen to abuse.
In Our Makeup Bag: Make Up For Ever Wild & Chic Best Of Set
Make Up For Ever is a regular here on Makeup Bag, and with good reason — their products are fab! They make professional-quality makeup that is accessible to the masses. I count their HD Microfinish powder, Smoky Lash mascara and Aqua Creams amongst some of my fave products, so imagine my excitement when I discovered that you can get all their best in one set!
In Our Makeup Bag: Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector
Clarins is obviously one of my favorite brands and have come up with a genius solution to our problem. Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector is a lip “gel” packed with 3D microshimmer, designed to accentuate your lips and make them look naturally fuller.
