This post was inspired by BFF Editor-in-Chief of
chaudmag.com. She always has some weird and wonderful reads and although this has taken a while to come up, its finally here. Fair to say she has set some precedent to her "Whats in your bag post", its hard to follow that surely.
The bag itself is a Russel&Bromley. I've had it for a couple of years and as you can see, its still going strong in spite of all the abuse its taken from me over the years. I love their bags, durable, stylish and most of all practical (for me at least, as I tend to do very big bags).
The Make up bag, and it contents as follows:
Im still a novice in photo editing. I just got my Mac Book Pro and I'm still finding my way through it and experimenting with different apps etc. So, if you can bear with me please and for the time being work with me clockwise from:
1) MAC Shimmertone Blush in Dollymix
2) MAC Studion Finish Concealer in NC45
3) MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural in Dark
4) MAC Gold Deposit Mineralise Skinfinish
5) MAC Full Coverage Foundation in NC45
6)Fashion Fair lipstick in Fiery Fuchsia
7) MAC RED lipstick
8) Sleek Twist up Lip Pencil in Currant
9) MAC Prolongwear Lustre Lipcolour in Boss brown/Mirror
10) MAC Prep + Prime Primer
11) Mary Kay brush Set from L-R(Foundation brush, Blusher brush, Powder Brush, Eyeliner/Eyebrow brush, eye crease, eye definer/blending brush)
12) Zovirax cream(I'm prone to coldsores, bane of my existence)
13) 2x Tweezers
14) MAC Sharpener
15) No7 Beautiful Brows Pencil in Black/Brown with brush(Hypoallergenic)
16) Peep Show Mascara
17) Avon Supershock Black eyeliner
18) MAC Eyebrows crayon in Stud
19) GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliner in Truly Brown
20) Benefit it stick(concealer)
21) Kiss and Tell Lipgloss from H&M
On a normal day, Id just wear the Gold Deposit Mineralise Skinfinish, Blush,Mascara and the Kiss&Tell lipgloss. Works a treat as it doesn't take as long and save the whole shebang for evening wear or going out
Other things: iPad and Ted Baker case, Ted Baker Wallet(you have to excuse my love for TB-post for another day)
Sunglasses, Laura Mercier hand cream, Stylus pen(all thanks to my BFF-Im loving it), Olbas Tissue, Blackberry, Apple Headphones, Keys-loving my pyramids keyring from a friend's recent travels to Egypt, Travel card, Gloves by Jasper Conran and umbrella from H&M.
The can't do withouts: iPad and case- you know one of those people that plodge an iPad right in your view to record something or take a picture?? Whatever happened to cameras or an iPhone at least, not a whole iPad??? Yes, I'm one of those people. Maybe not as much now as I've just recently purchased a camera but I'm still not shy to use my iPad. lol
Sunglasses-Count 2 in the guilty plea. I wear sunglasses even when its not sunny. The wind cramps my style. I hate it when my eyes start watering and mess on my make up, mascara goops and running eyeliner-no, no, no.
Blackberry- uh huh, still not converted/upgraded to iPhone, although i suspects its imminent.
and headphones-music just does it for me.
Umbrella( One of things I'm always buying on a whim- I lose them a lot anyway so I don't particularly splash out on one. I just look out for pretty ones and H&M often does em pretty and cute.
-On a good day,its just me and this lot in the park and I'm good. If it does happen to rain, then i head off home or somewhere dry to resume my business.
Misc: Harrods receipt from when I went for the perfume sale in January( thats how long I haven't cleared my bag)
Slimmer sweeteners( I'm on a health kick and trying to curb my sugar intake and these are helping - tea without sugar,
ahh garai netea yenyu. (literally means no thank you in Shona)
Rose Water- some do it with a Starbucks, some with water, some even with a jog, I use Rose Water. A splash on my face as a pick me up when I'm on the go.
Temple Balm (I was spooked with a picture of Naomi Campbell all thanks to
justpatience.com. Her hairline is no more, like nada. Mine showed signs of, so I'm not taking any chances-sory Nai, wrong kind of inspiration)
Victor&Rolf Flowerbomb EDP (love, love, love it),
Several pairs of studs just in case I'm in a rush.., and extra SD card for my BB
Gum ( Halitosis - hell to the no. Believe it or not, I carry it especially for other people. When I'm sat next to an offending commuter, I casually pop one in my mouth and toy around with it until they ask if they can have one, or I will offer them one-seriously )
Gucci tester- I carry testers if i happen to remotely like the scent just so my my bag smell nice.
Kudos Chaud Mag for this tag. It is quite a challenge and quite taxing to list all the staff thats in my very large bag. But if a Chief editor can be such a spot, I aint going to be a party pooper.
