Tine of Beautyholics Anonymous wanted to know what’s in my makeup bag. Well, I have lots of junk in there. Let’s see…3 lipsticks, 4 lip glosses and 5 lip balms which I rotate, depending on what my hands get hold of when I dig in the bag. The rest are my dry shampoo, a facial spritz, Mavapen, a pill case, a solid perfume and 2 hand creams. And I have a ZA Groovy Smoovy that I hardly use!
Since I have so many items, I thought I’ll upload a 3 minute video to show them. This is my first attempt at video editing so please excuse the fumbling and the quality.
I have that many stuff because I have a large makeup bag which in turn is in a large tote I carry to work. And I’m too lazy to remove the stuff. If I change to a smaller bag, I may not even use a makeup bag and just carry a lip gloss, facial spray, Mavapen and a hand cream.
So what’s in your makeup bag?

Thank for doing the tag. Brilliant way of putting it as a video! And wow, that is a LOT of stuff in your bag! Dry shampoo as well? A lot of lippies too :p
I’ve been thinking of putting up a video for quite some time now. Maybe I should; at least it’s a good learning curve on video editing, eh?
Tine: Yeah, it’s kind of fun doing this. But I wish the quality is better. Will like to attempt more videos in future.
My makeup bag’s really small, the width and height of my hand. I put my cosmetics into old, clean contacts lens cases. I carry two, and one has Vaseline & scoops of various lip colors. The other lens case holds moisturizer, and either sunscreen or pomade (depending on the season). I also have trial-size perfume, tiny mirror, and oil-blotting sheets. On the clip on the front of it, I may attach a lip pencil.
Aga: Sunscreen too? Whoa, that’s great. I should think about carrying my sunscreen stick around!
A lip balm with SPF, small bottle of sunblock, small tube of hand cream, oil blotting paper and a pressed powder to touch up. In fact, I only use lip balm frequently, the rest on stand by mode.
nicole: Another one with sunblock! I must try to consider this inclusion. I no longer carry powder when I used more mineral makeup. But ZA Groovy Smoovy is supposed to help me touch up a bit, get rid of those oilies. And I used to carry blotting paper but for a few years now, I only use tissue paper.
wow frownies rose water spray as well! do u use frownies?
prettybeautiful: Yes, I tried it but it did nothing for me.
frownies appear to be such a hit product in taiwan, endorsed by celebrities. i tried that once also, but i find it a little bit uncomfortable sticking it on the corner of my eyes
prettybeautiful: I tried sticking near the corners of my eyes but found it impossible. Uncomfortable like what you said. Even difficult to stick around the corners of my mouth. But heck, I didn’t find it useful. And if I’m not wrong, even if you get results from using it, you need to keep at it. I do believe that it helps to train the muscles but I just find it ridiculous waking up with stickers on my face every morning. Hahaha…
what is dry shampoo and what is it used for?
It’s to keep the hair clean when you can’t shampoo your hair as per normal. I use it to keep grease off my hair.
