What's in my bag? Pt1

What's in my bag? Pt1: the make-up bag

Hi there,

Since I'm really nót inspired at the moment, but still wanted to write, I decided to make a more superficial, yet interactive and girlish topic.

I have a kind of a love-hate relationship with fashion and beauty, so now it's time to do something with it, for once. I am just curious how girlish you are, how many girl stuff you have in your bag. In this first post, it's about the make up bag. Second time it can be about our toiletry bags, shopping bags and suitcases.

Just personally, I'd like to take a challenge. The challenge of: less is more. I think this should stay my motto for this year and so I decided my bags should be as empty as possible as well. Stuff is just stuff and it won't make you happy. But since I'm a girl, I kinda like it too.

End of this month I'll go on vacation for 12 days and for this challenge, I'll try to keep my suitcase as empty as can be. It'll be a tough one. But later on that in a 'part 2' or '3'.

Now..... the make up bag!

I think I don't have a lot of make-up. I sometimes read some beautyblogs and I am amazed by the number of products they possess. Can't understand why they need 15 different blushes...

So, what's in my bag then?

I considered making a picture of my make up box, but I'd be ashamed a bit because it's pretty messy and dirty. Well, I'll pick all the things out and sum them up:

- 6  nailpolishes; 4 from Miss Sporty, 1 from Miss Helen and 1 from Black Onyx. All quite nice.

- 5 eyeshadows; 1 from H&M (Goldy Dust, n0 11) (great!), 1 from Estée Lauder (Flirty Lilac Shimmer 46) (nice color, but the application sucks!), 1 from Miss Sporty (okay), 1 from Rimmel London (Smokey Blue, 004) (application sucks either), and one from Une (Nude eyes shadow N08, cream to powder) (nice)
- 1 blush (Breezy cheeks, blush Grand Air B02 from Une) (great)

- 1 foundation ( Intuitive Touch, BB cream-to-powder foundation 103) (good, but the color I find too yellow for my skin)

- 1 eyepencil from Miss Sporty black

- 1 kohlpencil from DA, white

- 1 eyeliner from DA

- 1 mascara (Max Factor 2000 Calorie Dramatic Look)

- 1 concealer (Skin Echo concealer from Une, E01) (application sucks)

- 3 lipsticks; 1 from Max Factor (Midnight Plum I believe it is), 1 from Rimmel London (Temptation 166) and 1 from Miss Sporty (New Age)

- 1 lipgloss (Glimmer Lips Gloss G02 from Une) (great)

Well, that's it. I cleaned the box a bit and threw away 1 old green eyeshadow, one sponge, one old mascara and one old orange lipgloss.

Since Une has become my favorite brand  (because of the natural ingredients), I'll definitely only buy their products in the future.



So, tell me whats in yóur make up bag?


Love, Shan
