Macy's Beauty Survival Kit

What’s in YOUR Beauty Survival Kit? I went browsing over at Macy’s and I definitely share some favorites with a few of the beauty influencers sharing their favorite products and tips. Cara, from Maskcara, picked Benefit’s The Porefessional as her choice. It is high up on my list of must haves and definitely resides in my survival kit.

This primer does a multitude of things – makes the makeup last longer and stay in place, helps your makeup go on more evenly and fills lines and pores so that the final look is flawless. I don’t carry it with me because all I need is to use it once, and I’m good to go! – Cara Brook

Benefit The Porefessional

I can’t remember the last time that I put my makeup on without this baby. If you’re wanting your makeup to last all day, you need to pick this up. You put it on after your moisturizer and before your makeup, you will get all day wear. I love it’s ability to make your pores appear smaller. Your makeup will go on smooth, look flawless, and last hours.

Keltie, from KeltieKnight, chose one of my absolute favorite bronzers of all time as her choice. Tarte’s Park Avenue Princess.

This bronzer is very clean and light, and doesn’t have a ton of glitter, so I look like I spent time at the beach, not in the circus. I start work most days at 5 a.m. and my shoots for The Insider end around 8 or 9 p.m. That means the makeup my artist Rebecca puts on me has to last under the lights and heat for hours each day. This bronzer does. – Keltie Knight

This matte bronzer is absolute perfection. It works well for all skin tones, but especially those of us pale girls. If you’re pale like I am bronzers could leave you orange looking and this one does not. It’s absolutely stunning. It’s lightweight and goes on like a dream. It’s super light so you can give yourself that sun-kissed glow or build it up for a more chiseled contour.

  5. I love the idea of adding a bronzer to my routine as we are finally leaving winter here in MN. My pale skin could use a bit of color.

  8. I love bareminerals mascara!! I was actually gussing about it yesterday to a friend. That is in my survival kit “)

  11. As a makeup newbie, this would be a great selection of quality products! I’m intrigued by the Clinique sunblock as well.

  16. Clinique perfectly real make up foundation. I have acne and uneven skin tone, so foundation is a must

  19. I would love to add the ‘Benefit the POREfessional Pore Minimizing Makeup Primer’ to my kit. All of it looks great!

  21. I would love to add the Tarte Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer to my beauty survival kit. It looks perfect for summer!

  27. I would Love to add the Naked pallet to my beauty survival kit! Thank you for the chance 🙂

  30. With weather getting warmer and the sun stronger, I’d love to try the clinique sunscreen. I’m having trouble finding one that I’m really happy with.

  33. I have super oily skin so definitely I need the Tarte Amazonian clay matte waterproof bronzer! I think it would really help having a bronzer that is waterproof!

  35. I need to add more bobby pins & band aids to my kit. You can never have enough of them and they seem to be missing when you need them! 🙂

  37. Id love to try Tarte’s Park Avenue Princess bronzer. I’m always looking for a great bronzer that doesn’t leave me orange.

  39. I’d like to add the Clinique Sun SPF 45 Targeted Protection Stick to my beauty survival kit. Maybe it would help me remember to wear sunscreen more often.

  43. Definitely the Naked palette! Thank you so much for offering such a lovely and generous giveaway.

  54. The Naked palette would meet so many beauty needs. I want that for my personal stash.

  58. Can I say, all of them? If I have to choose just one, it’d be the sunscreen stick from Clinique.

  59. I really need to add the original naked pallet to my own survival kit :)!

  60. I’d add the Urban Decay Naked Palette and the Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick

  64. I am in love with the Clinique makeup and the Urban Decay palette. Thank you for the chance.

  66. I could use a fresh look for spring & summer that doesn’t look too “made up”.

  67. Seriously can anyone pick a fav? LOL Thanks for the opportunity and have a lovely weekend!!!!

  68. I’d like to add Benefit the POREfessional Pore Minimizing Makeup Primer and the Urban Decay Naked Palette to my own beauty survival kit.

  82. I’d like the Naked palette. I have several neutral palettes, but none of the Nakeds.

  87. I would add either oil blotting sheets or a good eye cream — it’s amazing when I look tired and my skin is dry and flaky, or shiny and getting worse, at an inopportune moment. I can whip it out and dab the oil away or I can use the eye cream to brighten up my face and make me look energized in just a few seconds. Anything that can be applied in the car, the better!

  88. I would love to add a Naked palette to my collection! Everyone I know who has it loves it!

  93. Amazing collection in this kit. Clinique Sunblock stick looks like I would love to have and so is their foundation. Winning this will be wonderful..to get everything in one place.

  96. I’d like to add Clinique Perfectly Real Makeup Foundation and Benefit the POREfessional Pore Minimizing Makeup Primer to my beauty survival kit.
