What’s In My Makeup Bag: 2012

Posted by in stash | 5 comments

Looks can be deceiving..

The other day I was replenishing my makeup bag and realized that a lot had changed since the last time I shared it’s contents last summer with the video tag: “What’s In My Makeup Bag“.

So it’s a new year.. and a new month (ohai February) and I figured some of you might be curious as to what I`ve been toting around with me these days.

..because all this fits inside!


It`s probably bigger than your average makeup bag and it`s definitely more than just a few pieces, but I promise that it`s still functional. It`s small enough to carry around in most of my purses, and it`s easy add just a few more essentials into a bigger bag and I`ve instantly got an overnight or weekend makeup cache. Packing makeup is always time consuming and this really cuts down, since it covers so many bases.

I like to have options.. LOL

Make Up For Ever Lab Shine in S2
MAC Plushglass in Plus Luxe
MAC Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait
MAC Cremesheen Glass in Over Indulgence

Glossy & matte.. options, options!
