School’s over, and summer hours at work have begun.  You get the itch to take ah l’il vacation.  Here are a few items that I packed in my summer vacation beauty kit!

  • Unii palette with refills –  I got this super cute, hard case palette at the makeup show (gifted) and I really like it to place some of my favourite colours to give me a quick daytime or nighttime dinner look.  This palette can hold lots of refill pans including Make Up For Ever, M.A.C. and Inglot.  Just toss in in your bag and you don’t have to worry about your eyeshadows breaking or having to cart a whole bunch of them!

For some reason, makeup artist brushes tend to be inferior in quality as compared to those make for painters (especially those using oil paints).   Artist brushes can withstand being soaked in paint, turpentine, alcohol etc, without losing its integrity.  R&L have used state-of-the-art materials to produce a wide array of long-lasting brushes.
