What's In My Make-up Bag???

Hey Hooooo,

I've seen lots of "What's In My Make-up Bag" posts and youtube videos, so it was a matter of time to join this madness ^^ It's always fascinating to see what kind of products other girls are carring with them and gives you a good idea of which products they can't live without.

I'll guess I'll have to start with the brand of my make-up bag. This make-up bag is by Tally Weijl. I have like at least 10 but this is my favorite one when it comes to my everyday use.

I don't like to carry around a lot because I don't like when my bag feels heavy therefore I don't carry foundation, nor blush nor any brushes with me cuz they take too much space. That are the MUST DOs before I leave the house, otherwise I wouldn't leave the house with at least those basics.

• benefit "Hello falwless" compact powder in Honey: I apply it after my foundation and when I'm on the road I use the mirror of it to check my make-up and fix some parts in case of it.

• essence 3 in 1 concealer: one of the best inventions ever! The green color is for red spots/zits, the pink color is for under the eyes, for tired eyes to make them not look tired anymore and the beige color you use over the foundation when you can still see some color differences or over the other two colors to neutralize them/adapt them to the rest of the face.

• Maybelline color tattoo #40 "Permanent Taupe": one of the many color tattoos and my absolutly favorite color of them. It's taupe. In case you don't know this color, google it!!! You miss on something great. This color is really really good for every occasion.

• Maybelline The Falsies Volum Express Mascara in Black Drama: one of the best mascaras ever! You really get what they promise. (review to come)

• Maybelline master drama khol liner: the best eyeliner if you want a really black line to contour your eyes or on the waterline. It stay on forever! :D

• Clinique chubby stick in #05 chunky cherry, #04 mega melon & #10 bountiful blush: these are tinted lip balsams! I carry them in 3 different colors with me, and I might buy even more of them. They are really perfect for the winter season. I'll post some swatches in the next days.

• YSL rouge volupté in #1 lipstick: I love this pink color... the smell of it not so much but the consistency again is quite perfect and the color holds forever.

• MAC "Brave" lipstick: the first mac lipstick I bought! From the name you can tell that the color  is quite a decent color, light pink, matt, not too light, not too dark.

• Bobbi Brown #21 "Pale Pink" lipstick: the only bobbi brown lipstick I owe for the moment but there are more on my wishlist since I absolutely love the formula of it and it also seems to hold forever on the lips and in this case. comparing it to the YSL and MAC lipsticks, I really love the smell of it .

• Urban Decay Primer Potion mini in Original: I actually prefer the Eden potion but I carry this mini with me on days I don't wear any eyeshadow but all of a sudden decide to wear one or all of a sudden have to go somewhere but don't have much time to do a dramatic eye make-up look. I apply it on my eyelids before I apply Permanent Taupe.

• essence eyebrow stylist set: I like this little set of two colors. It's a nice set for little money. I mostly use the darker color of it.

These products are the basics I carry with me and also some of my favorite products for the moment. I think I will soon do another post with swatches of them ^^ sometimes I throw some additional stuff in my make-up bag! And the products can also change from season to season so there might be some more What's In My Make-up Bag posts in the future!!! ;)

I hope you enjoyed this post! For me it was fun to open up my bag for you. :)

What beauty items do you absolutely HAVE to have 

in your make-up bag?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

My first HAIR & MAKE-UP job!

Welcome back,

In my today's post I'm showing you the look I created recently on a friend of mine!

This is MERSIDA (24 years old), she is my cousin's wife and a good friend of mine. She has two beautiful little children she takes care off the whole time, the girl is 3 years old and the boy almost 1 year old. As she runs the family management 24 hours 7 days a week, she is running out of time to getting dressed and putting makeup on the way she could do! So I wanted to give her a special moment she can forget about everything and remembering how it is to be a woman and remembering her husband why he chosed her ;)

 

 As she has these bigh brown eyes I wanted to put the spot on them and make them a little more bigger by putting the right edge in the corner and enlarging the with a white kayal on the waterline, which she never did so far... until now. She always wanted them bigger but didn't know how to do it and I guess my hint helped her a lot.

The foundation I used, is by clinique, and really looks gorgeous on her skin. I even do believe her skin looks like porcelain. 100% without alcohol btw!

 

For the hair I decided to go with a tousled hair bun, that doesn't look to much like a secratary but a bit more sexier ;) and which suits her really great thought!

 

As it is one of my very first times as a make-up artist I had a bit of troubles with the liner, to really get the kajal line straight but I guess no one is born as a master, skill comes with practice ;)

Products used:

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup (one of the light colors, I think it was Light or Ivory)
Nars Orgasm blush
Urban Decay Primer Potion Eden
Urban Decay Naked 2, Bootycall in the inner and mittle corner and under the eyes, Chopper on the out/V corner
Sephora longlasting eye liner in 01 noir black
Dior Diorshow Iconic mascara
essence kayal pencil in 04 white, on the waterline
Mac brave lipstick

I use to wear this look by the way very often too and I already showed you this tutorial a few months ago in my NAKED 2 reviww (CLICK HERE TO SEE IT).

Her husband really loved it and almost didn't recognize her ^^ and that's the most important thing. I hope you like what I did and continue reading my blog :))

With Love,

Crazy inspired look from the Beth Ditto MAC Cosmetic Collection!

Hey guys,

I saw this MAC poster, with Beth Ditto as their new face of the latest collection, in a magazine and thought that was a pretty cool idea! So cool and crazy that I decided to try this out too, on my own way.

I do not owe any Mac Cosmetics products so far, as they are not available in my country (still looking forward to buy them somewhere else) so I created the look with some ordinary make-up stuff I have.

Products used:

Foundation: Flomar Mat Touch in Pastelle #M306

For the lips: Catrice Ultimate Colour #130 Frozen Rose

On the cheeks: Benefit Coralista

For the eyebrows: basic eyebrow pencil #02

Mascara: Dior Maximizer + Dior Blackout

essence I <3 Rock gloss eye pencil to draw the eye, the lases & the pupil and for the lower waterline

essence eye pencil in white to draw the white of the eye

and for the eye make-up: MAYBELLINE New York EyeStudio Smoky Glam (review coming soon)

  

 And if you want to know which color I have on my nails, you'll have to wait a bit… :P

Doesn't it looks like a painting of Picasso? Like those two below!

 

Well I had to think of Picasso but maybe you know a better inspiration and maybe you could tell me?!

I would be really happy to read what it reminds YOU of :)

So once again: DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY SPRING & SUMMER GIVEAWAY!!! (It's on the sidebar!!!)

AND my exams are starting tomorrow so I'll be busy in the next two weeks, I still hope I can do 4-5 posts meanwhile ;)

Love you lots,

IrSaDa
