What's in my make-up bag?

Who doesn't love a good 'what's in my make-up bag?' blogpost right? ;)

My daily "go-to" make-up bag filled with touch-up essentials - a worn-out silver faux-leather pouch. I seem to recall have received this for free with purchase of a magazine a very long time ago. I've used the same bag for nearly two years now, and for some reason, never tire of it and have not found anything that beats the efficiency and simplistic design of this bad boy.

Now on to the fun part... the contents.


I know what you're thinking - that's a lot of lip products! But you guys already know the drill - a girl can never have too many lip products! Normally I keep all my lip balms in there, and up to three lip products, including the one I was wearing on the day and a couple others in the same colour family (in case I wanted to switch textures or what not as the day progresses....) The ones I have in there at the moment are either recent purchases or all time favourites.

But nonetheless, the contents (in clockwise order):
  • Maybelline Color Sensatonal High Shine lip gloss in 'Electric Shock' - a gorgeous blossom lip shade with decent pigmentation and brilliant shine!
  • L'oreal Colour Riche Balm in 'Dragon Fruit' - a bright, almost neon, cool-toned pink with a sheer, glossy finish. These feel lighter than the Revlon Lip Butters (in my opinion) and stain the lips quite nicely. 
  • NYX Butter Gloss in 'Apple Strudal' - a light peach-coloured creamy opaque gloss that feels buttery smooth on the lips.
  • L'oreal Nutri-balm in 'Nudy Coral' - an adorable sheer light coral that gives a subtle hint of colour to the lips whilst keeping them supple and healthy-looking.
  • Shu Uemura Gloss Unlimited in 'PK 382S' - an almost transparent peach with ultra fine shimmers - my go-to gloss of all time! 
  • L'oreal False Lash Wings Mascara in Waterproof Black - my favourite mascara of the moment
  • Nars Creamy Concealer in 'Custard' - medium-full coverage concealer perfect for spot-concealing.
  • Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer in #52 - my HG concealer I absolutely swear by (this is my third tube). Has medium coverage, doesn't settle into fine lines and leaves a beautiful and natural finish on the skin! A product that's worth every penny!
  • Palgantong mini lip-tint (deep cherry colour) - a GOOD multi-functional tint that blends nicely on the lips as well as cheeks - you know what I'm talking about - the kind of tint that doesn't sink into your lip lines as soon as you put it on or stain your cheeks before you even have time to blend the sucker out!
  • Spring Heart Eyelash glue (clear)
  • Nivea compact mirror
  • Mentholatum Water Colour lip-balm in 'Wild Coral' - a face-brightening coral with decent pigmentation, gives a 'pop' of colour to the lips looking too obnoxious.
  • Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stain in 'Feelin' Rosy' - your standard rosy lip stain in a convenient pen-form. Smells fruity divine and is decently long-lasting. 
  • Daiso makeup eraser pen - not effective on waterproof products
  • Stila Lip Glaze in 'Rock Candy' (Part of their recent Spring Collection) - sticky, long-lasting plummy gloss with a ton of shimmer and sheer-medium pigmentation! (Also smells fruity and divine) Would work perfectly over a darker lipstick or by itself during the cooler seasons!
  • Maxfactor Miracle Touch Blush in 'Soft Pink' - your standard cream blush with a dewy finish; makes you look like your blushing from within. In my go-to pouch because it's so quick and effortless!
  • Burt's Bees Lip Shine in 'Smooch' - A moisturising sheer gloss leaving a subtle plum tint and plenty of shine!
  • Koji Eyelash Curler #73

Soooooo that officially wraps up my very first "make-up collection" type post. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed making it! :)

Let me know if you've tried any of these products and whether or not you would purchase them again!

With love,
Ethereal
