Nice idea to throw in those extras for a night out 😀

In my bag… I have.. 182 Brush, Dainty Mineralize Blush, a Maybelline powder compact (forgot name), Shu Uemura Eyelash curler, Plushblack Plushlash mascara, Lovelorn, Port Red and Flowerplay lipsticks – 3 different shades to suite different moods I might have at the time, and events to go to! 🙂
How do you keep the 182 brush from getting crushed, Livia?
I bought my 182 from ebay, and it came with this cylindrical plastic case =D keeps my brush safe. My purse has just enough room for the 182, so it doesn’t get crushed, but neither has room to move around – pretty much kept in place.
That’s true! The case seems like it would crush easy, but apparently not, which is good!

Blot Powder in Dark
Cork l/l
Fresh Brew l/s

Nice, good picks!
I had never carried so many i had always carried a small make up bag but, every day i kept using different colors so, i just decided to carry most of my lip collection, lol. But i know i need a smaller make-up bag. My shoulders are already hurting because of the weight of my big purses.
I need to get a makeup bag, right now it’s all in what I think is supposed to be a cellphone pocket in my purse.
-Cult of Cherry Lipglass
-Viva Glam V Lipstick
-Sweet Tooth Tendertone
-MAC Blot Powder Pressed
-Gingerroot Creamstick Lip liner
-Magenta Lip liner
-Pink Treat Creamstick Lip Liner
-Cranapple Creamstick Liner
-Beurre Creamstick Liner
I switch out my lipstick and gloss depending on what I’m wearing that day. I keep all my lip liners in my purse, even though I rarely use them. However, if they weren’t there, I would never use them. 🙂
Keeping it all in a pocket isn’t bad, though 🙂
I have Lipliners Stripdown and Subculture, eyeliners Feline, Coffee, and Teddy.
Angel and Brew lipsticks.
Madcap and Cherry Blossom Lipglass.
StudioFix Powder in Nw20
Lots of liners 🙂
lol. wow….i only have a NYX lipglosss.
i dont want to risk breaking anything else. not my shadows or powders :O
Aww!! I know how you feel, though. I don’t like carrying breakables!
Hahaha…rolling around..but it’s inside my bag pocket;
– Chanel Teint Controlle Extreme
– MAC blush in Melba
– Biotherm Define Eyes eye pencil (brown)
– In2It long weraing eyebrow liner (brown)

I lovee Pink Grapefruit!!
Went out for dinner tonight – and just took the basics in the zipper pocket of my purse: blot powder, caramello cremestick liner, mousse slimshine, liqueur lipglass & stud eyebrow pencil.

I guess I have a thing for makeup brands with 3 letters, lol!
Haha!
Do you change it based on what you wore that day?
Yes I usually do, with the exception of face products. I wore rapturous mattene yesterday so I popped that in my bag with a red liner as well. 🙂
in my makeup bag inside my purse, i have:
Pure Essential pressed powder
Strawberry Lip Ice
Palmers cocoa butter lip butter
Estee Lauder high gloss in Blush
MAC powerpoint pencil in Buried Treasure..
Nice essentials 😀
Everyday I have my Estee Lauder Gold Pisces powder compact that I’ve had for 10 years, purse spray or sample of perfume and a Burts Bees lipbalm packed into a 5×7 Betsey Johnson pink striped makeup bag which doubles as my purse for work. Depending on the lip I’m wearing I pack 1-2 lip liners, lipstick, and gloss and my clear brow finisher if it’s a dark/bright lip. Sometimes I end up with more if I forget to empty it out at the end of the day but I try to keep it under control.
Wow, ten years 🙂 Talk about a memento now!
oh my….you really want to know?
in my makeup bag that i carry in my purse:
Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel (primer)
Bare Minerals Mixed Powder Foundation (1/2 Dark, 1/2 Warmth)
Bare Minerals Mineral Veil
Black Radiance Desert Clay Quad (eye brow filler)
Urban Decay Primer Potion
HIP Saucy
Brushes: All over face, blush, 2 eye shadow, mascara wand (4 clumps), eyebrow brush
L’Oreal Panoramic Mascara in Blackest Black
Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor in True Chocolate
Random Red lip pencil
I do my makeup at work….so thats why i’ve got a face full of stuff. i switch out the eye shadow colors each day but everything else stays the same. i also have a smaller bag with lipglosses….about 7-8 tubes i think.
i need a bigger purse
Makes sense since you do your makeup at work, though 😉
I literally have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Really..a couple lip balms and clear/nude glosses because i hate dry lips, but that’s it. i REALLY need to make up a little makeup bag for midday touch ups. But I’m weird and don’t want to have my makeup in 2 different places.
Haha!! I rarely carry stuff for touch-ups — maybe a lip combo, but that’s it.
I have black liquid eyeliner, khol eyeliner, three different mascaras, compact and my champagne/brown combo [highlight, but add the brown and its a look. I should carry my eyebrow pencil [I’m blonde who dyes her hair blood/dark red] but i forget.
Wow, three mascaras!
One’s lengthening, one’s volumizing and ones curling. just depends on my mood XD.
MAC mineralize skin finish duo in light-natual shimmer, select moisturecover concealer nc20, cult of cherry lipglass, jampacked lipglass, so scarlet lipstick; clinique high impact mascara, almost powder makeup in neutral fair, high impact lipstick in honey blush, powder foundation brush. All rolling around in various pockets and on the bottom of my purse. lol.
Good list, Jessika!
