The
contents of my makeup bag are constantly changing. I try to test out new
products but still give attention to each of my beloved makeup items. I also
try to ensure the contents of my makeup bag would be suited to the outfit I’m
wearing. During the week while avoiding the traffic, I arrive rather early at
my workplace so this is where I usually apply my makeup. On weekends I can
spend as much time as I want rummaging through all the makeup drawers for
whatever colours or tools I need for that look. Whereas most of my co-workers
may carry lunch bags, I carry to work my makeup bag, disguised as a lunch bag!
My
makeup bag comes with a small pouch which contains my lip products. Inside of
the main bag I also keep my makeup brushes. I’m crazy about the Real techniques
set since it comes with a fold up case perfect for me to carry around. Full
review coming soon!

What
else is in there? Meet my face products! I recently got the Maybelline Fit Me
powder and foundation and love them. You get a dewy finish from the foundation
and the tiniest hint of shimmer that makes my skin glow with the powder. But
before I apply these two babies, I apply some eye cream (L’Oreal Skin Genesis)
and prime the face with Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing primer.
I
usually carry about two blushes, one shimmer and one matte. The Milani baked
powder blush in Luminoso give a gorgeous glow to the cheeks while imparting a
peachy colour. NYX espresso is a muted pink with brown tones that I usually
reserve for my meeting days.
I change
my lip products often. Lately I have been loving MAC Velvet Teddy for its long
wearing matte finish and skin tone colour. But when I want a punch of colour
with shine, MAC Sheen Supreme Ultra Darling is what I reach for.
I don’t
dare leave home with my MAC lip conditioner. It’s been my latest lip obsession.
But for some summer punches of lip colour I resort to MAC Impassioned lipglass
or NYX sheer gloss in peach.

Would
you believe that’s only half of the stuff I carry about in my makeup bag? Wow.
Stay tuned for part 2 where I show you all my eye products.
Was there something
in my makeup bag you liked? Do you carry around that much stuff?
Happy Makeup Bags!
XOXO

You completely surprised me Naomi! When I saw the size of your makeup bag I was like "She carry aound all that?" lol but I read on and realised you do your makeup at work! Where did you get your real technique brushes?
