{Makeup Bag Diaries} : Aleesha Harris from Covet and Acquire

~its makeup monday and we are happy to share with you local style and beauty blogger Aleesha Harris's makeup favorites. Aleesha's day-to-day look is usually centered around a light eye, strong brow and bold lip {our favorite}. being a beauty and style blogger, Aleesha's makeup drawer resembles ours: a mountain of miscellaneous products. to keep her everyday go-to's neat and tidy, she uses a Louis Vuitton pouchette. this mini bag full of beauty goodies helps Aleesha get to and from her office to beauty and fashion events quickly without having to carry around a bulky bag. check out her favorite must haves below and be sure to follow Aleesha's blog : Covet & Acquire and instagram: @aleesha_h

Aleesha always has at least two Nivea Pearly Shine but like all other beauty bloggers, she's always carrying a zillion lipsticks. Like Aleesha says, "girl's gotta have options". Her favorite red lipsticks: NARS Cinematic in Short Circuit {limited, part of the Guy Bourdain collection~ similar color here}and Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Rouge 01. for an extra boost, Aleesha likes to swipe on some GOSH prime'n'set Primer and Mattifying Setting powder followed by a brow touch up with MAC Pro LongWear Brow Set in Quiet Brown. Finishing her makeup with her absolute favorite mascara, Bourjois Paris Volume 1 Second pulls together her every day look. some beauty advice from Aleesha:

"I always carry OPI Wipe-Off! acetone-free lacquer remover wipes because there is nothing worse than sporting a seriously rundown manicure"

Beauty Essentials

~fridays are always happy days for most people with the work week being done and weekend relaxation begins. as a freelance makeup artist/writer/blogger, weekends don't really exist for me although the flexibility of my lifestyle more than makes up for that ~
