Last week, I went on a work trip to Austin, Texas for the SXSW Interactive and Film Festival. I made sure to pick out items that would last from 8am until well past midnight. Below I break down the items I brought on my trip and review my favorite item.
For the trip, I chose some long-wearing makeup and made sure to pack a setting spray. Towards dinnertime, I had to touch up my T-zone with powder and reapply lipstick, but for the most part, my face stayed intact.

The surprising item for me was my Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls in 'Light Bronze Pearl.' I had bought it months ago but hadn't really tested it out. It gives such a light bronze healthy sheen to the cheeks. It's very finely milled so it gives off a sexy J.Lo glow. I can't recommend this shade of the Mineral Glow Pearls enough, especially for pale girls like me! I will definitely be rocking it on the daily this coming spring and summer.
Here's a photo of the awesome band Lucius performing at my work party.
I'm obsessed with their sound and the two lead singers' throwback 1960s beauty looks.
