{Tonight, I have a much-needed hair appointment with my lovely friend who is ready to answer your hair questions! Get those questions in now so I can share her wisdom with you tomorrow!}
I have absolutely no expertise in the area of make-up. I also don’t spend a lot of money on it.
But I do wear it every day and I do have a few make-up items I must have in my cosmetic bag at all times…

L’oreal Bare Naturale – This has been my go-to foundation for the last two years and I love it! It is light, but covers well. It also contains SPF 19. I know there are lots of mineral make-ups out there, but this is the one I tried first and I loved it! {I may be wrong, but I think it is a little cheaper as well!}

L’oreal Voluminous Waterproof Mascara – I found out about this mascara from my sister’s wedding and I’m sticking with it. I’ve never had clumping problems with it and it held up well to my roller coaster emotions during the wedding!

Bath and Body Works Liplicious – I’m not a big lipstick girl, but I do like a little color on my lips and this is just the right amount. Frozen Blackberry is my favorite, but I also love Caramel Latte. I’ll have to check out the new colors this year!

Cover Girl Eye Shadow in Champagne – I must always have this color eye shadow on hand. It is the color I use for every day, as well as the base for special events. Very neutral but with a little shimmer!

Wet ‘n’ Wild Lip Gloss – I already mentioned lip gloss, but this one I use for blush! The color I use has hints of pink and gold, but you can pick any lip gloss that fits your skin tone and doesn’t look clown-like on your cheeks 🙂

Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner – Eyeliner can stress me out, but not with this self-sharpening eyeliner! It is great for everyday looks so I keep one in espresso and one in charcoal on hand at all times!

What are your go-to make-up items?
I'm Erin, a wife, boy mom x 3, writer, and runner in Nebraska! I'm excited to share all my favorites relating to faith, family, fashion, and fitness in this space! Enjoy! 
I’m a mary kay girl myself…but have gotten out of the habit of wearing it since having my boys. I’m trying to change that now.
mineral foundation, bronzer, mascara, tinted lip balm are my must haves!!!
I am right with you on the mascara and eye shadow, love them both! I’ve used that mascara for years now! Don’t know what I’d do if it ever was discontinued! lol
I use mascara & eyeliner. I’m not picky about brand. I can’t usually afford the ones I really want (seriously? $7 + for mascara???). I’d like to get some purple eyeliner and some liquid eyeliner. I used to wear that champagne eye shadow, too, I remember. I don’t use much eye shadow. I’d like to get some blush, too…
i love make up, especially nail polish 🙂 my makeup MUST HAVES: sonia kashuk eye lash curler, clinique blush and c bigelow lip gloss. most of the time that’s all i wear. extras: clinique face powder and eye shadow. i am not picky on my mascara as long as it’s brown not black, and i use cheap-o eye liner NYC brand or wet ‘n wild.
I think I’m going back to that mascara – I’ve had a horrible time with other brands lately!
Love your picks – super fun. I love being a girl!
This is great. I used to wear makeup alot. I use Bareminerals foundation because I have super picky and sensitive skin. I need to go through my makeup because I’m sure most of it needs to be thrown out and then get some basics. I feel much more put together with a little eyeshadow and lip gloss on. Especially when I’m wearing the t-shirt and ponytail.
I have great thins about that eyeshadow. I am considering buying it now. But i really love mac eyeshadows though. ANd yes, great mascara!
