Travel ritual: my makeup bag

my makeup bag and favourite organic cosmetics
lightweight and easy to carry

Skin care is so much more important than makeup.  Makeup is for when you're having fun and going out.
But your skin is forever - Halima Aden

I used to always wear makeup to work, very light makeup: after a lightweight moisturizer and/or sun cream to hydrate skin and create a smooth base, I just apply a little concealer, a powder, an eye shadow, an eye liner pencil, and according to my mood... if I have time... a touch of mascara and/or blush.*

Separate makeup, skincare, and bodycare instead of using a giant bag to carry every single toiletry...

My makeup bag

  • purple and yellow giraffe print transparent bag
  • lightweight, simple lines, compact and roomy
  • easy to wipe off
  • with side sturdy handle and side zipper closure
  • comes with its purse
  • 11 x 8 x 4,5cm
=> keep it on hand for a night out, holiday party, but never really use it, even on holiday, except the compact powder
=> in sunny climates, I always wear sun cream then the compact powder

In this bag,

  • translucent compact powder - 9g => in my beauty bag (in my handbag)
  • powder brush (or a blush brush)
  • eye shadow (2 complementary rich brown or shades of purple tones in matte finish)
  • kajal eyeliner pencil anthracite 07
  • 2 holes makeup sharpener
  • blush Trio fall in love 5g
  • highlighter* => huge mistake, never use it
* can't stand highlighter and will never use it, ever!  Don't understand why want a shiny face?  To look like a Christmas tree...
Less is more, try to achieve a natural makeup look and enhance natural beauty, for fresh and glowing skin with healthy and cruelty-free cosmetics.

Nail polish

Separately, in a biodegrable plastic bag then in a small makeup bag; that way, nothing else will get ruined if nail polish bottles spill:
- a travel-sized nail polish remover
- cotton pads
- a nail file
=> a nail clipper (already in my toiletry bag)

my organic makeup
favourite organic makeup/accessories and shades of purple and brown:
compact powder, blush brush, eye shadow, eyeliner pencil, makeup sharpener, blush

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Image
If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...

Art was an additional emotion applied to skillful technique - Charlie Chaplin The eternal feminine beauty Golden Tears , also known as Freya's Tears' , a famous oil painting with gold leaf, is often attributed to Gustav Klimt but was actually painted by French artist Anne-Marie Zilberman who was influenced by his work.

She likes to represent soft and nostalgic female figures, the eternal feminine beauty.
