What's in my Make Up Bag, You Ask?

Happy Monday! Queen She known as me here.  I've been asked if I carry a make-up bag, and if so would I mind sharing what's in it.  The answer is yes I do carry one, and no I wouldn't mind sharing it's contents, so this week’s journal entry is a “what’s in my make-up bag” post.

Called my many names; a toiletry bag, a cosmetic bag, a cosmetics case, an essentials bag, it’s all the same thing - a make-up bag.  From retailers to YouTubers and Pinterest folk, women and cosmetic artists everywhere are clad down with their makeup bags; some are just as expensive as the shoulder bags they tote.   Well mine is not expensive, but it does say and always have said a lot about me; expresses my personality, and tells what I like having on me all the time.  

I was a member of Ipsy; the monthly subscription service that provides it subscribers with a new and different makeup-bag and cosmetics samples. I always got the coolest make-up bags.  When I reached the point to where I’d accumulated five of them, I would give three away, but not before I put items in them like lip gloss, or an eye shadow and brush.  I think it’s important for women and young ladies to keep one with you even if you don’t wear a lot of makeup or none-at-all.  You can always keep a lip balm, a mirror, or other little things in there.  To me it’s chic, and it screams “I think I’m ready, but if I’m not, get me my make-up bag and give me ten minutes!” 

I’m rarely without my make-up bag; it’s always tucked in my handbag with other essentials.  Today, I

wanna share with you what’s in it.  I usually clean and organize it once a week, but to do this post, I grabed it out of my purse, and dumped it; so yes there are some things in there that I probably could have left at home, but like I said earlier, it says a lot about me….okay I got caught slipping, 😚😤  but here goes!

Clockwise starting from the left I have:

My bottle of HEMPZ Pomegranate moisturizer-my favorite lotion (I got hooked on this lotion when Ipsy sent it to me as one of my make-up bag goodies)

Dental floss -gotta keep those pearly whites looking good 😁

Sharpener-because? Well you never know what needs sharpening

A brow brush- yup it’s old and used, and I so need another one, but for now…

BEEKMAN Goat Milk and Cocoa Butter lip balm - for those days when I don’t want to wear lipstick

Blistex - another “why do you have this in here?”

My mirror- trusted friend of mine!

Lash glue by iENVY - this is the best lash glue to me, doesn’t irritate my eye lids

Two MAC lip liners in the colors Chestnut and Cork - Okay I can only wear one at a time, so why?

Three lipsticks: NYX in the color Tan-Gerine, MAC lip gloss in the color Myth, and Marc Jacobs Le Marc in Mahogany - Okay again! I can only wear one at a time so why?? Lol
