The Lo Down - What's in my Makeup Bag?

Hey Guys and Dolls,

I've decided to do a What's in my Makeup bag post as I thought you guys would find it interesting. I decided to do it in a video format as it would be easier for you to see whats in there. I think it turned out pretty good and I hope you like it. So lets get started.

That's what's in my makeup bag I love the bag it's probably my favourite one I own. It fits everything into it which is always good. Hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoyed making it which is alot I have to say.

The Lo Down - Penneys/Primark Makeup Bags

Hey Guys and Dolls,

Today I took a trip to Penneys in Nutgrove to see if there was anything I'd like to buy, of course I had my eye on a makeup bag that I had saw in Dundrum not too long ago. I'm also intrigued to try the Penneys skincare range, I wonder is it any good. Going by the prices if this range was good it would be amazing.

I spotted the makeup bag I wanted so of course I couldn't leave the shop without it. It cost €5 which is pretty good. It's more like a wash bag then a makeup bag but I'm going to use it to store all my beauty products. It's a cream and baby pink makeup bag and it says Wake Up and Make Up across the front and I really like it. It's such a good size and I'm sure it will fit lots of my products. I have lots of makeup bags but I don't think you can ever really have too many in my opinion. This makeup bag is also wipe clean so it's perfect for storing makeup.

The other makeup bag I got is a alot smaller so I thought this would be good for inside my handbag to throw all my products that are currently hiding at the bottom of my page. I have a notebook from Penneys that has the same design as this makeup bag and I love it. This costs €3 so I kinda had to get it.

What's in my Bag? - Updated

I haven't done a What's in my Bag post since May last year, when I started blogging. Obviously the contents of my bag have changed so I thought it was about time to do another. Like all girls, I tend to carry way too much in my bag. I like to think everything I carry is a necessity but I may be fooling myself a little.

Messy I know but isn't everyones bag?  If they say it isn't you know their lying.

I love this scarf, I bought it along with some matching gloves in Accessorize before Christmas. Unfortunately I lost the gloves, I was so disappointed as they were so pretty. I've worn this scarf probably everyday since I bought it. We never get nice weather in Ireland so it's needed.

 I always have a deoderant and a Impulse body spray in my bag. I'm still not too keen on the Lynx Attract For Her packaging, but seeing as I bought it I might as well use it up. A new purchase of mine is the Avene's Eau Thermale Thermal Spring Water. I've been using this to set my makeup lately, so refreshing.

Nothing too interesting in this picture. Basically there's my keys, battered old purse, glasses, umbrella (it's Ireland), Ipod and Muppet's Cardholder for my Age and Travel card.

A mixture of beauty products I found throughout my bag. I'm surprised at how many were in there. I had a lot of "so that's where you went to" moments. My mom bought me the Nivea Pouting Princess tin, it contains two lipbalms. I really like it. The Chocomania Body Butter (travel size) and Soap & Glory's A Great Kisser lip balm are recent purchases. I'm going to do a review on both of them soon.

Here we have my 2012 diary, a empty tin of Glee mints (courtesy of my Mom), a pocket mirror, Travalo (Burberry Body smells like heaven) and my makeup bag. Let me know if you would like to see a What's in my makeup bag post. I don't think I've done one before.

Last but not least is the book I'm reading at the minute. Yes I got a Kindle for my birthday, but I still have a mountain of books to read. I've finished all the other books in this series, Vengeance is the last as you can see. I just started it so I can't wait to see how everything pans out in the end.

So that's everything that's in my bag. I sure do carry alot more around with me than I did in May last year.

What's a must in your bag?

What's in my Travel Makeup Bag??

As I'm going away to Barcelona tomorrow I wanted to do this post for you girlies. I love reading other bloggers 'What's in my Bag?' posts cause I find them pretty informative and I admit I'm a little nosey!

As I'm not checking in a bag it leaves me pretty restricted in what I can bring on the plane. There's also the fact I'm going for five days so I doubt I'll be wearing that much makeup. I'll be too busy seeing all the sights that Barcelona has to offer.

I got this bag in Debenhams at the start of the Summer. It was €18 but it was greatly reduced to €9 so course I had to pick it up. I didn't know I was going on holidays but I'm glad I picked it up now.

It opens to show two compartments, one is see through. I really like that feature as it's easier to find things which means I don't have to go pulling everything out. I keep my makeup brushes in the other compartment.

Face


Too Faced Primed & Poreless Primer (sample)
Garenier 2 in 1 Tinted Eye Roll-on

Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette

Eyes

Lips

EOS Lipbalm in Honeysuckle Honeydew (not pictured)

Brushes

MAC 129SE

MAC 217

Looking through the stuff that I'm bringing it doesn't seem like too much. This is mostly makeup that I would use on a regular basis. I like how I still have extra space in this bag, knowing me I'll be making a few purchases when I'm away.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Talk to you girlies when I get back from my holiday.
