What is in your make-up bag?

Subject: Re: What is in your make-up bag? Sun May 04, 2008 5:54 pm

i dont really need to wear makeup because my skin is pretty much perfect (ive just been on holiday so its tanned aswell now) but i do own rather alot from when it wasnt so good. mostly mac, nars, chantecaille, shu uemura, bobbi brown, chanel and trish mcevoy.
if i have time this is what i'll wear but usually i moisturise with creme de la mer and pop on some mascara and lip balm and thats it:
face- mac face and body foundation or chantecaille future skin
eyes- curl eyelashes with shu uemura curlers then mac prolash mascara or chanel immitable or chantecaille mascara
lips- creme de la mer lip balm then mac "myth" over the top
cheeks- nars blush in"zen" or "orgasm" or mac blush in "trace gold"

I

make up, I never get sick of it! I have drawers of make up but these are the items I tend to carry into a bag to my beach house or to a friends or seperately because they're my most loved and used items!..

La Prairie Caviar Foundation
La Prairie Cellular Bronzer
Mac Sheertone Blush Pink Swoon
Chanel eyebrow kit (darken & thicken them at night plus there's tweezers!)
Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara (sometimes Givenchy gloss eyelash colour in pink)

I must highlight these following items and because I think you girls might appreciate them if you're up for quality items and ones that last for ages!

La Prairie foundation - Best i've ever used. Very pricey but lasts me 10months a bottle, yes I use it everyday! I ditched my chanel foundation for this one! Nearly died when i found strawberrynet sells it for $120AU cheaper than i paid for mine! Shocked

Feel so ripped off! Oh and it comes with sponge, brush, stand, & hidden matching concealer in the lid. You get what you pay for with this one.

Chanel eyebrow kit - Perfect if you attend to eyebrows everyday. Have the kit for 2 years now & the powder is still fine.

Too Faced lash injection - I ditched Diorshow for this! It's very intense and like 1/4 the price!

I think of buy YSL touche eclat, dies any have it? is it a good product??

Very good product I have gone through 7 but I do not wear it anymore because my foundation covers enough..

Alot of other brands have their own version of the concealer pen now and it is the BEST. I have #2 and i bought a #3 lasr year because i was tanning a little. There's not a big range of shades but you only need a little anyway!

I would say it is the best concealer I've ever used on it's own without foundation!

I am dark underneath my eyes and YSL touche eclat is the only thing that can hide them completely if i put enough on, but then i found it was too light and i had to pat some of ym foundation on top but if you want it to cover this is the best because it doesn't look dry it stays fresh, it also smells reallyyy good!!

The fafi collection from Mac has some nice colors for blushes! Fashion Frenzy is the cutest IMO
