    Since I rarely use make up, I don’t carry a make up bag in my purse. I may take the gloss along, but that’s it. Even when I do wear make up to go out, I rather spend my time dancing than touching up my lipstick, which I would need to do after every drink.
    If it’s a really special ocasion, then I may bother to touch up, mainly at weddings were the thing lasts the whole day long… I’m just lazy, I guess. :)

    No I don’t, I only carry the lipgloss or lipstick I have on that day and sometimes a powder puff with some loose powder in it!!

    I have a 10 inch wide utility bag that I use as a m/u bag, and it is usually full, LOL. It has gloss, combs, pressed powder, perfume vial, toothbrush, e/s, lipstick, kohlstick, blotting films and some pain meds usually! It usually fits in all but one of my purses.

    I have a “first aid kit” in my purse, it’s +/- 12x9x6 cm. You might find it amazing, but it has:
    - a small packet of babywhipes (for make-up emergencies)
    - mini handsoap leaves
    - cuticle scissors
    - mini nailfile and buffer
    - bandaids
    - asperin
    - a small Dior lip palette
    - a mini Chanel Inimitable mascara
    - 2 Urban Decay colours (sin and goddess)
    - a small mirror
    - Badger evolving balm (wrinkle, shrinkle and crinkle care)
    - a Neutrogena lip boost tube
    - a mini Clinique continuous rescue antioxidant moisturizer. I even have a flashlight, glowsticks, a swiss army knife and handcream floating loose in my bag.

    Kinda similar to CCee, I think! I have a 6″x6″ pouch in which I always carry
    - tube of neosporin ointment (for hangnails, ugh!)
    - PF Organic Wear pressed powder
    - Tendertones in Purring
    - retractable lip brush
    - Mygrastick (essential oils for treating headaches)
    - tweezers
    - mirror
    - hand sanitizer (great for when I go to the MAC counter!)
    - a few samples of moisturizers
    - whatever lip gloss I’m wearing
    - Perk mocha latte lip balm
    - mini Clinique high impact mascara

    yes, it all fits, with room to spare!

    I started off with just one Bobbi Brown train case but my makeup collection expanded very quickly after that. Since I end up applying my makeup at work every morning, I take EVERYTHING with me. I usually carry a tote that was given to us at work to carry our “work” but I carry all my makeup!! LOL. I take all my 6 15-palettes with me daily to work. I have a ton of brushes, bronzes, loose powders, blushes, and liners that make that trip with me every single day. I’ve been really wanting to condense my travel collection but I haven’t found the perfect case or the will power to leave any item behind!!!

    foundation

    Actually, I dont even have to carry half of the stuff that I do but I always think, “What if I need to touchup?” So I do anyway. And the makeup bag is cute too, lol!

    Nope. Unless I’m at a formal event, but the last time that happened was almost 2 months ago at a dinner sponsored by my boyfriend’s hockey team.

    Typically I carry blotting papers or translucent powder, and then the slew of lip products that are always lingering at the bottom of my purse.

    I had bought this cute little bag from Sephora idk if they still have some but it is made with all silver shiny sequins on it; I love it! they came in all different colors. Anyways, I always keep my studio fix powder, blush, a mini blush/powder brush, smolder eyeliner, and whichever lip combo I am wearing that day I have in there a lip liner, lipstick, and lipgloss! :-)

    I just carry a bag with the items i used for the make up of the day, except for the eye shadow, that i never reapply.

    my makeup bag is not very big, my lipstick, powder, blush and their brushes fit perfectly in it.

    Of course! It’s kinda small, and hardly ever crammed. I keep a mascara or two, a NARS Multiple, a lipstick, a lipglass(or gloss) or two, sometimes an eyeshadow duo. A mini manicure kit, and a moisturizer with SPF. Oh, and a lipliner, eyeliner, and fragrance.

    I have a little one but I don’t carry much seeing as I don’t reapply any make up during the day. Inside mine I have my blot powder, vaseline and TLC in fuchsia fix. A lipglass or lipstick if I’m using them.

    I do carry a small Sephora make-up bag that I don’t think is sold in the stores anymore, which is a shame because it’s tiny yet holds a LOT! (It’s black, sturdy sateen with a small silver piece engraved with the Sephora Professional logo.)

    In it I carry a compact mirror, dental floss, a mini hand sanitizer, Softlips lip balm in Strawberry Sorbet, MAC Viva Glam VI lipglass, Visine, a mini Swiss Army knife, Maybelline Cool Effect Cooling Shadow/Liner in On the Rocks, a pill container, Avon blotting papers, a few tampons and extra hair ties.

    I still have additional lip balms, lip glosses and hand cream floating loosely in my purse.

    I carry around a MAC canvas bag with me all the time. It holds the following:

    Pressed Blot powder compact
    About three lipsticks
    Lip gloss
    Pack of Q-tips
    Small (sample size) tube of moisturizer
    perfume

    Since I have oily skin, I always carry a powder compact with me. I touch up my lipstick about twice a day. I carry the Q-tips to remove eye liner smudges etc. I had a make up back in high school as well. Old habits die hard ;-)

    Yes because I need to touch up after P.E.. its about the size of a normal pencil case (seeing as it is one) and takes up barely any space at all, but i manage to shove everything inside perfectly =)
