I carry a very small vanity kit or make-up case in my everyday purse. I do not want a bulky one because I usually forget (sometimes lazy) to retouch when in school, running errands or simply going out. After all, what are great make-up brands for if I keep retouching and reapplying every few minutes or hours.

These 2 products are my favorites.

Since, I am not an eyeshadow type of girl because of my fair almost light complexion and big eyes, which can create a fully-made-up look if I always put on eye-shadows on everyday basis. So I focus on what flatter my face: the cheeks, the lips and of course, a healthy-looking skin c/o EverydayMinerals + Olay Total Effects and Clinique Moisture Surge hee hee.

When I was still living in a tropical country aka: warm weather, I love using this Body Shop Lip&Cheeks Stain because it lasts long and even if I put pressed powder over it, my cheeks still look naturally blushing. But when I used it for my lips, it tends to fade fast and does not really leave me with the natural red lips but more of lips which ate a red-colored candy. Until, I noticed it literally stained a portion on my cheeks, so I stopped using it for a while (thank God the stain was gone). But, this is perfect for beach people because despite your exposure under the sun and swimming, you still retain that natural blush in your cheeks, well that is if you could care less applying make-up when on the beach.

Then I moved on to using NARS Multiple Stick in Orgasm shade. You can use it for your cheeks, eyes, lips and even body . I love the creamy moisture it leaves my cheeks and eyes. When I used it for my lips, it does not easily washed off even after drinking.  I guess, if you are in a much colder place which leaves your skin with closed pores, this is better, so I love using it now. But, when I was using this back in Manila, it leaves me with a sticky feeling on the cheeks. Also, this can be used for evening and more formal events.

Price-wise, I guess you know which is more expensive and which is more affordable. But, I would say both are priced reasonably with the quality it leaves you plus the volume and number of usage.
