Back from Mexico

Well Mexico was a blast, how could it not be? Myself and eleven of my girlfriends spent a week in Playa del Carmen, where we had muchos mojitos and amazing weather. From a make-up perspective I wasn't quite up to blogger standards... I forgot my entire bag of brushes, lipsticks and pencils. Luckily I had two fabulous roomies who let me borrow their things. I wore bare minerals most of the week since it has SPF and stays on better than liquids in the heat (at least on my oily skin). Warmth by Bare Escentuals was my other go to since it added the red/brown tone I needed to match my tan. Here are some pictures of the week.

The whole group!

I did Genevieve, Tracey and Kelsey's make up this night... not the best makeup shot.

Naked

Super excited to have picked up the much-blogged-about Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay. I picked it, as well as a couple other things up, yesterday in preparation for my trip to Mexico! Here's what I got!

Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay, Make Up Forever Face & Body Foundation and Hypnose Mascara (waterproof) by Lancome

The Palette has 12 neutral shades and comes with a double ended brush.

The colours swatched. Aren't they pretty!

This palette will be the only eye shadow I'm bringing to Mexico, it has everything I need which I love. The foundation I bought in a shade too dark to mix with my moisturizer to give my legs a bit of colour. Got that hint from a magazine! The mascara is my all time favourite, I've been using it for years. Waterproof is a must for Mexico!

My iPod just broke so I should go figure that out and finish up packing! Leaving in a couple hours woo!
