    What's a make-up bag?

    I don't have a bag, I have a table (and one of those multi-drawer towers) lol. A few things I can't live without though -

    - L'Oreal Revitalift Miracle blur: this is the most awesome product! It's a primer/complexion smoother/make your pores disappear/keep your makeup on all day cream. I apply a pea size after moisturizer. Love it!
    - eyebrow powder and angle brush: I messed up my brows years ago, so I have to powder the shape every day
    - awesome cheapie foundation is Cover Girl Outlast. It really does last!

    I wear a full face every day so I often change up the eyeshadow colours, etc. I feel I look better & feel more confident with my makeup on.

    Unless I'm going swimming, I at least need powder, chapstick, mascara and and eyebrow pencil. My eyelashes and brows are so light, especially in the summer. I used to wear a lot of makeup but I find that the older I get, the younger I look when I wear less lol.

    Actual makeup *bag* that I carry everywhere with me in my purse:

    Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks in Coffee Shimmer and Heather Shimmer
    NYC black eyeliner
    NYC Sky Rise black mascara
    random square pressed powder compact I mainly just use for its mirror

    My makeup at home that I use daily:

    L'oreal Infallible foundation in the lightest shade
    NYC translucent colorless loose powder
    Eye makeup palettes by elf, Avon & Stila
    NYC eyeliners in black and sable
    NYC Sky Rise black mascara
    Rimmel Lasting Finish lipsticks (same color as above)
    Nivea Kiss of Color - the only lip gloss/balm that doesn't gross me out with its texture

    I used to have a lot more makeup and didn't use drugstore brands (which as you can see I now use almost exclusively)
    I lost all of my cosmetics in a tornado and purchased cheapy stuff for temporary use and have wound up sticking to a lot of those brands for over two years now because I really like them! Stila eye shadow is my one big MUST HAVE from Sephora.

    Urban Decay, BIG FATTY MASCARA! I get most of my makeup at sephora. If I had to choose just one item it would def be the mascara! They also have really nice liquid eyeliner at sephora and they have all sorts of colors and ones with glitter that are long lasting :)

    Bahama Mama bronzer and complimenting rose blush... without it my foundation looks too obvious (to me) even though it's a very light, tinted moisturizer.

    An eyelash curler, small compact mirror, some eyeshadow, Maybelienne's Baby Lips lip balm, Benetint, nail clippers, nail file, some ibuprofen....I think that's it.

    I LOVE Ipsy (that's a capital i). You get a 'Glam Bag' every month for $10. Because you take a beauty quiz when setting up your account, your Glam Bag is put together to fit you.

    I only wear MAC products, I tend to break out using other products. Also, Estee Lauder eye shadow pallets are nice and handy - it's always good to get their holiday sets around November/December!

    Also enjoyed Sei Bella bronzer, and Avon brand Liquid Liner.

    Revlon just bittin lip stain - for fall I would suggest colors Honey and Cherish
    Urban Decay "Naked Palette" is a fall must-have!! Browns and golds
    Maybelline - Colossal Volume Mascara - nothing better!
    MYX - Highlighter/Illuminater - Google this if you don't know what it is.


    Do you have an Utla around you?? I HIGHLY reccomend that store, one side is expensive make-up and the other is department store and such. I've always found the workers there SUPER helpful as well.

    If you want to try a bare minerals copy I reccomend this seller on ETSY - Her samples are a dollar for lips and eyes and four for 2 dollars for foundation and blush/bronzer, SO CHEAP!!

    Hi. My make up has gone through a lot of tweaking but ive finally found a selection of products i love and last all day:
    Nivea moisturiser
    Australis or face of Australia primer
    Revlon colour stay foundation in dry/normal
    Estee lauder double wear powder
    Body shop shimmer bronzer
    Maybelline great lash mascara or Avon super shock mascara
    Revlon colour burst lipstick in cotton candy

    I wear the above pretty much every day and if I'm going out at night or if I can be bothered I add eyeshadow: either inglot (you can choose yr own colours) or Revlon or maybelline eye shadows

    Oh my, there are a lot of Maybelline mascara lovers here! Cheers!

    I can't do without my Maybelline Magnum/Colossal mascara. I don't know what I'd do if they discontinued it.
    Urban Decay Naked 2 is another staple. The dual brush is genius.
    And I just perfected my liquid liner application, so Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof liner in Demolition is now my go-to liner.

    Lips, blush, not much. Any nude or pink gloss without glitters is fine by me. I'm more of an eye girl. ;)

    The-Body-Shop-Colour-Crush-Eye-Shadows-Opened.jpg

    Color Crush eyeshadow from The Body Shop. The dark green is my fav (has beautiful gold under tones) but they're all pretty amazing. Also the Body Shop is a great company with good values, so you know...bonus.

    Is it? Thought it was owned by L'Oreal now....?
