What’s In Your Makeup Bag?

I have watched a few of the ‘What’s in Your Makeup Bag’ videos on Catwalk Queen recently and I thought it would be fun to feature what is in my own makeup bag, or rather, box. For my makeup is unceremoniously stored in an old Too Good To Be True ‘frozen dessert’ carton (whatever happened to that stuff by the way? I loved the vanilla.). My eye makeup is stored in the cupboard over the sink in the bathroom with my makeup tub on the shelf below it.

So, what do I have?

Wow, that’s quite a lot of stuff! I never used to be into makeup but I’ve started collecting it in the last year or so and look at the results. However, I should point out that everything marked with a * was either given to me as a gift or was free as part of a promotional offer. As you can see from the things I actually paid for, I am mostly happy to go down the cheap and cheerful Collection 2000 route!

I should chuck out some of the older stuff really, such as the foundations that I don’t use anymore now that I’m a Clinique convert.


Well that’s me. Leave a comment and tell everyone what’s in YOUR makeup bag?

  1. Nothing! Hurray! 29 and I still have no use for the stuff. I'd probably look like the proverbial 8 year old who got into mummy's make-up bag if I tried...

  2. Oh dear oh dear, I could not begin to list what I have in my make-up collection. In my handbag alone today I have:

    A MAC bronzer in Golden
    A retractable bronzer brush
    Benefit her glossiness lip gloss in MYpeople your people
    Clinique glosswear in Mystic
    A Carmex Click stick
    Body Shop Clear mascara

    Considering I do not take a make-up to work, that is a lot of stuff in the bottom of my bag!!!!!
