On My Make Up Bag

In the last year or so, I've gotten Serious about make up. I like how I look with make up on, so I wear it almost every day. Because of that, I've started carrying a more serious 'make up bag' in my purse with me wherever I go with the make up that I use most often (except blush because I don't have a blush brush that can fit).

The Essentials: some safety pins (for safety), some bobby pins, a pair of earrings, and a hair tie (because WIND IN WELLINGTON IS CRAY)


Skin:  a sample size pot of NARS' Sheer Glow foundation, Rimmel's Stay Matte powder (stays on really well) and my Lush atomizer Lust (smells kind of like flowers, but also like a lush store)

Eyes: Lollipops Paris Eyeshadow in Lilly's Delight, Australis Stay Put eyeliner ... in brown, and a Miki Palette in Smokey Neutrals (all 3 of these were quite cheap by New Zealand make up standards, so they're not the best, but they get the job done)

Lips: Australis' Samba (the top one), Mac's Angel (the middle one)(Mac is so great but it is seriously cheaper to buy and ship from the states than it is to buy it IN NEW ZEALAND), Estee Lauder's Cranberry (the bottom one)

A lot of the make up in this bag is stuff I can wear to work, so I end up putting it on in the morning and then being able to refresh at lunch. Hah, never really thought I'd be the type of person that 'refreshes' their make up at lunch but I guess I am. I don't know when it happened, but I don't really mind.
