Dressing in the Restroom with Make Up on the Go

 

 

If you are anything like me, you have a very busy schedule and oftentimes are running from one event to another after work.  Unfortunately for me, there is too much of a distance between my home and place of employment that I don’t have time to return home to change clothes and re-apply makeup so I am usually doing it in the restroom at work.

 

Recently, I had lunch with a former co-worker and as we were leaving the restaurant a young lady approached us and handed me a small pretty purple bag and proceeded to show me a sample of its contents.

 

 

 

 

You know me, I thought it was a FREE gift, however, it wasn’t, and after capturing my attention she explained that the cost would be $20 plus tax. Since we don’t have sales tax in Delaware I refused to pay the Pennsylvania tax, however, my co-worker graciously did.  I was a bit leery about making the purchase but I took her picture then asked for her social media platforms to verify that she was legit!

 

Anywho, $20 bucks was a bit pricey, but I admired her hustle, however, I couldn’t help but think about those “don’t let anyone spray you with perfume in the parking lot” internet warnings.

 

I loved the small compact size of the cosmetics because it beats carrying a full makeup bag to work and it fits neatly in my purse or I can simply leave it in my desk drawer for when I need a quick touch-up.

Lip Addiction II

I tried a few of the shadows and liked how smooth and creamy they applied as well as the liners and mascara which wasn’t clumpy nor messy.

 

Pros:

 

• Lip Addiction colors are great for my skin complexion

• Eye Shadows apply smoothly

• Sized perfectly to fit my purse or tote bag

 

Cons:

 

• Applicator brushes are too small

• Blushes are too light for my skin complexion

 

 

So my unsolicited and unpaid review is: whether you’re heading out after work for a networking event or are headed out to catch a quick flight into the city and you need a mini “face beat” Makeover Essentials will definitely meet your needs.
