What's in your beauty bag [Hannah] ?

Hannah has been my best friend for years and years and I haven't managed to rummaged through any of her beauty products at any point during our friendship. Well, the time has come to see what she has been using and what's currently in her beauty bag. 
 I asked Hannah to bring me everything that she is using right now as far as beauty and nail products. Here's what we got! "This maybelline master precise liner gives a good precise line. Haha get it. That's the name. I am not the greatest at eyeliner and this is the easiest for me to use and get close to my lashes.  It washes off easily if you make a mistake and there is zero to no smudging. Don't look at the nib, I need to get a new one." 
When I saw this Rimmel Stay Matte I was curious because I just put it on my 'to buy' list. "I use this as my foundation. It helps me to not be shiny, stays put and is not cakey on my skin. The mousse texture helps a little product go a long way. I just put a dollop on the back of my hand and it will cover my whole face. It might not be great for winter though, in the winter my skin becomes more dry. I am sure I will switch to something else when the seasons change." Ok, let's talk about this Revlon quick dry topcoat because I can't seem to stray away from my Essie No Chips Ahead. "This topcoat doesn't smear off the polish underneath. My nails chip easily and this helps get a couple more days out of my polish. I enjoy it. It's the 3rd bottle I have bought. The quick dry Essie top coat is too sticky for me. This one has no sticky factor. As far as my favorite polish right now? Essie Mint Candy Apple. I mean, who doesn't love this polish? Or candy apples? Or mints?" I am proud to say that I introduced Hannah to the wonder that is Real Techniques brushes over a year ago and her life has been changed. "I have a big face and this brush is the perfect size for it. I use this brush for my powder and to set everything in place. I use baby shampoo to clean it. You taught me that Bee. Sorry...bad brush etiquette, it's really dirty."
I was excited to see that Hannah had this skincare set from Juice Beauty. I have had this sitting in my amazon cart for a couple weeks now. "I don't have severe adult acne but I have more of the, 'I'm 25 and still get zits are you serious?' type of acne. If you read any reviews about this set online people either love it or hate it. I bought the Organics to Clean Skin kit because my old skincare line No Zit Sherlock by Bliss was sold out. Since buying the Juice Beauty kit I haven't switched back to Bliss. The face wash and serum are great for both morning and night. I do remove my makeup before using the face wash. I have read online that some people don't like the fruit smell but I don't mind a little fruitiness in my life. The moisturizer is a little heavy, which I like for night but not for morning. It makes my face too greasy for the day. The kit does come with an apple peel which I wouldn't use more than once a week because it does dry out the face but it does work well for my problem areas. Overall I think it works well for my skin type but it might not be the best for severe acne prone skin." 
I was so impressed with her use of the Naked 3 palette. She is almost hitting pan on a couple different shades. "I have replaced my naked 2 with the 3. I stick to the left side for a more daytime look. I take the shimmer of 'dust' and add 'limit' or 'strange' on top of it to matte it out a little. If I want more of a nighttime look or just some more drama I will work my way towards the right side of the palette. Using the same technique of adding a matte shade on top of a shimmery one. I also use the brush that came with it. You can tell because it's um... yeah, I should wash that. "
"Younique 3D fiber lashes, yes they are expensive. I have a friend who sells them. I had free shipping so I thought I'd try." Hannah explained the process to me and how it took her a couple tries to get it right. "First put a normal coat of mascara and then use the fiber lash wand on the tips and wiggle it. You need to remember to wiggle it or else they will get spidery. You also need to remember to have both wands ready. The fiber lashes need some moisture to hold onto and if you wait to long your lashes will dry from the first coat of mascara. It takes a couple tries but you'll get used to it. This mascara adds some more dimension, length and volume and it doesn't irritate my lashes. Plus, it washes off easily with soap and water. I don't use it everyday. Just more on the weekends. It was a splurge and I really like it."

Thanks Hannah for letting me go through your beauty bag!
