What beauty products do you have in your purse right now? Do you tend to keep things in your purse for awhile, or do you regularly rotate/clean it out?
.
I have a Le Metier de Beaute gloss, chapstick, and I think that’s it! I do have a Tendertone and a tinted lip conditioner pot in my school bag, though.

I need to clean out my purse!
OMG, I used to LOVE LipSmackers!
Well before i used to carry planty of makeup with me – incase if i need to do some touch ups(eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipglass, mirror), but now once i found out about eyeshadow base, and other awsome stuff what i carry in my purse is only lipglass – sometimes few of them , and lipbalm. and yes if i change my purse i take the makeup out also..
I’m so glad the base changed your life, Katya!! So great that you can carry less 🙂
I always carry too many m/u products! I usually call my m/u pouch, my “survival/1st aid kit”!

I have so much crap in my make up bag. In fact the reason I buy large hand bags is because my make up bag is in fact a small LV perse (about 4×7) here we go:
Mac shadows – stars ‘ rockets and seedy pearl
MAC lip gloss – just dessert and viva glam VI
CG lash blast
MAC – undereye concealer
MAC – spice blush
Fiberwig mascara
BE brushless mascara
UD 24/7 rockstar pencil
MAC liner in creamola
loreal – rabon black kohl pencil
neutrogena – sheer blush lipstick
maybelline dream matte powder
chanel brow definer
chanel blush in BE-BOP
neutrogena mineral sheers concealer kit
brushes – 239 224 elf
yes all of that fits into my makeup bag BUT it barely closes
Whew! That is quite a bit 😉 At least it all fits in your makeup bag!
Bliss lip balm, Tarte Inside Out lipgloss in Nirvana and Liquid Sunshine, MAC Lustreglass in Love Nectar, MAC Lipglass in Strawberry Blonde, and a Tarte mini lipgloss in sparkly red from the Purse Your Lips collection. I wear lipgloss a lot, because I have a terrible habit of chewing on my lips when I’m not thinking about it, and lipgloss stops it almost completely. If I can feel the gloss on my lips, I don’t do it, so I like somewhat stickier, thicker glosses. 🙂
How’s the Bliss lip balm?
UD 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero, Dior Blackout Mascara, MAC HK lip gloss in Mimmy, & MAC HK glitter liner..
And thats all I need for work today!
Nice! Which HK liner? 🙂
