I think that having a car makeup kit is a great idea, but because I live in south Florida, I'd be so afraid that everything would dry up or melt, lol. I guess I can have make one when it starts getting cooler.
This will be just perfect for meeting my needs. I'll compile items from which I can construct a neutral look ofYes, girl. You can't get caught out here in these streets without a glow!
My makeup kit for the car is just as important as my office one. If I'm in a rush and have to hop in the car or risk lateness, my car kit ensures that I don't scare small children with my early morning hideousness. Stop lights are my friend on my morning commute! It also helps when I leave a massage appointment (I always go barefaced, of course) and have other things to do, like go to the mall.Glad to inspire!
Oh I am inspired. I love getting all of these tips & tricks. When I worked I kept a kit of sorts in my desk drawer
but now it;s more relevant for my car. To start I think I'll construct a kit with items that I love, but fail to reach for
often.

I thought about that too but now that it;s getting cooler I'm ok with it.

And it's fun to throw in some items that don't get too much love or even rotate what you keep in the bag.Oh I am inspired. I love getting all of these tips & tricks. When I worked I kept a kit of sorts in my desk drawer

options. Oh now I'm so excited to work on this!
Thank you @cocofiere & @Twinkle_Twinkle
Exactly!!! That would be those items that I mentioned loving but failing to reach for often. I have just the brushesAnd it's fun to throw in some items that don't get too much love or even rotate what you keep in the bag.

I'm in Florida, too, so I keep a small kit in my purse. Two or three lip products (plus liner and gloss), a brow pencil and eyeliner, a travel-sized mascara, powder, blotting papers, concealer, maybe a foundation sample, bobby pins, safety pins, hair tie, mini brush, and nail file. Oh, and a few little samples of perfume. It's enough to refresh everything after work if I'm going out.I think that having a car makeup kit is a great idea, but because I live in south Florida, I'd be so afraid that everything would dry up or melt, lol.

I have most of this stuff in my handbag too, minus brow stuff, concealer and safety pins. I don't drive during the week much so a car kit is not necessary...plus I have it all in my bag anyway.I'm in Florida, too, so I keep a small kit in my purse.

I think I'm going to get Starlight because of you. It's the only one that looks different from what I have.
According to Looxi_Beauty's latest instagram post, most of the flash sale orders will be shipped on Monday or Tuesday of next week.Yeah it's an awesome deal I'm so glad I can finally get all the highlighters I wanted without killing my wallet lol she just extended the sale 2 more hours since the code cut off early I guess so now there's an hour and 40 minutes left hopefully anyone else who's online and been wanting to make a looxi order sees this!
I think I need that afterglow palette ...
Cooler in South Florida?! HA girl you know we have four seasons in South FL. Hot, Hotter, Hottest and Rain. I'm missing the weather tons. I woke up one day here in GA and it was FALL! No preamble, no warning...bam FALL. I was wearing shorts on Monday on Tuesday I had on a sweater. LOL Gotta get used to this.I think that having a car makeup kit is a great idea, but because I live in south Florida, I'd be so afraid that everything would dry up or melt, lol.

Hot is the cooler weather especially if there is the rare occasion that it's not as humid as it normally is, lol. We may get a few days of cooler weather but what's considered cooler weather here is warm for everyone else. We'll pull out boots and fur coats on the rare occasion that it's anywhere near the mid 60s or 70s but those who are from the more northern states will be wearing shorts, lol. Although we only experience seasons of varying degrees of heat, it must be nice to live in an area where you get to physically see the change in seasons. I'd love experience fall and winter but I'm grateful for the warmer weather when some places are bombarded with a lot of snow in the winter.Cooler in South Florida?!

Nordstrom had Gilded Honey up until yesterday I think. I have Ballerina. I have a lot of gold-tone highlighters so I'm trying to chill on GH.Thanks for the advice ladies! I think I'm going to keep a kit in my car for items that would not be greatly affected by being in the heat for periods of time, and other items that would be affected by the heat will be in my purse.

I know what you mean about having a lot of gold-tone highlighters, lol. They tend to be my favorite so Gilded Honey was hard to resist. How do you like Ballerina? I think I may go to Ulta and swatch it tomorrow after my doctor's appointment.Nordstrom had Gilded Honey up until yesterday I think. I have Ballerina.

Trust me I know! I first wanted Ballerina since the Spring, then switched to GH over the summer, but then Nordies only had Ballerina at the time so I got it. I was disappointed about how small it is and the fact that I didn't check that first. It's nice, I don't reach for it a lot though. I have issues with highlighters that have ridges and aren't smooth because I find it's difficult to grab product with my fluffy fan brush and they get a dead pan vibe.I know what you mean about having a lot of gold-tone highlighters, lol.

Thanks for your review! I haven't seen Gilded Honey or Ballerina in person yet, however, I did look at photos of the product in people's hands before I purchased it and noticed that it is quite small in size and ounces compared to other highlighters that I have. Based on the swatches I've seen, I have comparable colors but not anything so similar to Gilded Honey that would make me feel comfortable enough to pass on it. I also looked at other highlighters that are closer in color but I liked Gilded Honey the best out of all of them so I decided to purchase it. I use the Real Techniques Setting Brush to apply my highlighters.Trust me I know!
