OK, what's in your makeup bag that you carry with you everyday? I seem to carry the kitchen sink with me, but I am a working girl (and Mum) and carry my life in my bag. In my zip-up makeup bag I carry on a daily basis:
oil blotters, pressed powder, floss, ModelCo lip wax kit (marvellous for those of us with fine lines - I can now wear gloss without it bleeding), any number of lippies/glosses (currently 2 x lippies & 1 gloss) on a rotating basis, small compact Clinique mirror, 2 x bottles of eyedrops, tube of Papaw ointment, Avon lip balm (but must get rid of this as don't like it - Papaw ointment much better), lip brush and nail file.
I think that's it! I also carry a small brush in my bag as well, and a supply of headache tablets, bandaids and monthly girly things as well. No wonder I have to carry a suitcase! I am interested to know what other Adoreables carry.

Here's what's in the makeup section of my handbag - I have a makeup bag but not everything will fit in it so I have dedicated a whole zipped section for my beauty loot -

M.A.C Concealer - NC 15
Bloom Sheer Colour Cream - Dewy
The Body Shop Lip Gloss Pot - Shade 3 (bubblegum pinky colour)
Stila Convertible Colour - Peony
Stila Lipstick - Maia
Mor Lip Gloss - Ibiza Disco
Philosophy The Super Natural Lipgloss - Pink
Dior Glitter top coat for lips - Sparkle Shine
Dior Ultra Gloss - Lick of Taffy
Estee Lauder Pure Pops - Caramel Apple
Lancome Crema Blush - Marshmallow
Dior Eyeliner - Balck
M.A.C Studio Fix Powder - NC 20
Pout Cream Illuminator- Sherbert Shimmer
Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Gloss
Minature Guerlain Skin Care including:
Pure Veil Cleansing Milk
Success Eye Tech Eye Lifter Cream
Super Aqua Serum
Eye Makup Remover
Kiehl's Mini Moisturiser
Lip Smacker Lip Gloss - Gum Drop Candy
10ml Stella by Stella McCarteny Roller ball perfume
2 Peas in a Pod fragrance - Vanilla Bean
Dior Lip Liner - Candy Rose

I don't carry around a makeup bag as such - my foundation (when I wear it), blush and eye makeup are pretty much done in the morning and rarely touched up throughout the day (except for blotting). But I do love to reapply my lipsticks, glosses, and balms - hence, I carry around THIS with me everywhere. I can never choose just one or two lip products to carry around so I toss this pencil case into whatever handbag I'm carrying that day, and then I have enough options. It's about a quarter of my overall lip product collection, but it's bursting at the seams - needs to be rationalised!

Cute bag hon!

I just downsized to a little Bloom one, and it currently has:
- U/C mineral foundation
- NARS Lip Gloss in Chihuahua (neutral pink)
- Lip Lingerie in Jewelled G-string (opal)
- Shizen Lip Conditioner
- Bloom oil-blotting papers
- Bandaids
- Small emery board
- Mini OPI Avojuice in Coconut & Melon
- Pink compact mirror. I don't use the magnifying side, it's too scary.

I'm actually in the market for a new cosmetics purse - one that is not too small but small enough slip into my handbag. Any ideas?

In the meantime, I carry things in a separate section of my bag. At the moment;

UC Mineral Foundation
Napoleon Mosaic Glimmer palette
Retractable powder brush
Revlon Coral/peach colour lip gloss
Bloom watermelon lip gloss
Smiths Rosebud Salve
Marc Jacobs edp
tissues

Normally I like to carry two different coloured lip glosses or lipsticks in case I feel like a completely different colour by the end of the day.

PCC, how big is your handbag? That is one very long list, lol! How do you fit anything else in there??

Lip balm, lip gloss, an e/l pencil and a compact mirror are in the one in my handbag. I take lipbalm with me everywhere.

Me too - I hate the feeling of dry lips. Plus, lip gloss and lip stick go on so much nicer with balm underneath.

That's my thing too Sapphy. I can change my lip colour a lot depending on what's happening that day!

I tend to have big handbgs (to cart the whole family's stuff in) so they have decent sized make up compartments. Currently in my main bag I have

Jemma Kidd's Lip Line Duo 02
Napoleon Lipliner in Dune
The Body Sop Lipliner in Nude
Innoxa lipliner in Natural
Tarte dual ended lipgloss in Gidget & Moon Doggie
Lancome Juicywear clear topcoat
Shizen Liptints in Pinkie & Choccie
Bloom Lip Glaze in Glitz
Hemp organics Lip Tints in Berry & Kiss
Stlia sheer lipstick in Becky
Poppy powder compact in Radiant. Really need to replace this, waiting to get a Becca compact.
Jemma Tint in Flush
Nail files x 2
Hanae Mori EDT sample in Magical Moon
Peter Thomas Roth SPF30 samples x 4. For emergencies.
Shizen salve
Fold up hair brush
Sally Hansen hand cream.
Band-aids
Tissues
Hair clip

I really don't carry a lot around with me during the day. Just balm, what ever liner/lipstick/gloss I have decided to wear that day and a mirror! I feel like such a failure!

I have a case kind of like Ozkat's full of lipglosses always in my bag. But today I bought a cute little make up bag that would be perfect to keep essentials in. So I want to get a new concealer to keep in there, and then will chuck in a bronzer, eye liner, mascara, blotting tissues and some samples I reckon. I want to keep it compact!!

i just carry a couple of different lip balms
tissues
pain killers
wipes
oil blotting papers
santising hand gel
nail file
samples of hand cream

if i was working or out for something in particular i would also have lippy & a mirror

I will be a disgrace to you all. But I can count on one hand what makeup I own. I don't have a makeup bag.
Clinique Stary Plum Eyeliner and Lucky Penny GWP eyeshadow, TBS Blush and Brush and I have Dr Hauschka Lip Balm.

Thats it.

Alice I have a chunk of make up [i am an x make up artist] but how much do i actually use & how often ???

not a hellava lot :chuckle:

Body Shop compact mirror, tissues, lip balm and gloss for days when Im makeup free. If I am wearing makeup, I take with me the previous and compact powder, a 'special' gloss, blush, concealer, eyeshadow brush, any eyeshadow im wearing or shimmer and sometimes a powder brush and bronzer. I need to start using my little makeup cases cause I have a few and their sooo cute, but Im usually running late and just chuck everything into my bag...

Surprisingly I dont have much in mine. More for touch ups and when I do my basic makeup in the car on the way to work! I usually have my Touche Eclat, 3 lippies, a lip pencil, eyebrow brush eye pencil and mascara.

That's my thing too Sapphy. I can change my lip colour a lot depending on what's happening that day!

Lol, exactly how often Ozzy?

So last night I decided to look at my makeup collection and OMG has it grown and grown. I'm thinking I probably should try and see if there is a support group for makeup addicts. 169 Blushes anyone?

You can never have too many blushes PCC. Wrong audience I think! We would all be in that support group! :chuckle:

hmmmm, a bit of a change, Im using my new natio makeup bag that I got as gwp, its pretty small, but this is all I have so its good -
Natio Mascara (water resistant, black, maximum curl - full size GWP) & still get my lashes tinted, use this overtop sometimes
Clinique Lucky Penny Eyeshadow (GWP I've had this for such a long time, I use this for special nights) - me thinks this maybe close to expiry date??????
Living Nature Lipstick
Dr Hauschka Lip Balm (in the pot)
Weleda Everon Lip Salve stick - mostly in my handbag
manicare clear 3 in 1 clear nail polish (base/top coat for strength & protection for nails)
natio gwp compact mirror

169 blushes?!?!?! I sincerely hope you are joking - that is obscene.

Only PCC could get away with this, methinks, only the Adorable PCC :chuckle:

Yeah well - I don't think anyone should or can get away with that, that scares me....but that's just my opinion *shrug*
