I keep all my cheap, less used makeup in there since I rarely use my makeup bag anyway. So there are two eye shadow pallets from Claire’s, Bonne Bell mascara and eyeliner, Victoria’s Secret lip gloss, and some hair binders.
Got it! I don’t usually keep a makeup bag either – I think I only pull out my makeup bags for travel.

Although I only wore mascara to work today, even when I wear a full face of make-up all day I never carry any make-up with me. I never do touch-ups… I don’t know why!
Very nice, Stephani! Talk about carrying light 🙂
Haha or it might be because I am so loaded up with everything else in my purse! I am the “You name it, I got it” girl when it comes to the stuff in there. Everyone teases me, but I usually am the one saving their butts with the stuff I carry =) Plus, I am addicted to chapstick because my bad habit is licking my lips and biting them.
P.S.- You seem like the sweetest and most genuine person everrr! I just want to say thanks for all that you do on here. It’s so great that you take the time to read and respond to all of your comments. This is my first time commenting even though I read all the time, and it totally made my day to see your response. Take care and have a wonderful day!
Hey Stephani! LOL, I bet you are the go-to girl!! My boyfriend always asks me why I DON’T carry something!
Aww, thank you 🙂 It made me smile and keeps me going!
