What’s In My Makeup Bag (April 2011)

Every now and then, I like to update on what I have in my makeup bag, especially when the bag differs from my last makeup bag post. To be honest, I wouldn’t really call it a makeup bag, since I barely have any in it. It’s more of a “things I need with me on a daily basis” bag. LeGeeque said I’m crazy organised when it comes to putting stuff in my bag. I’d like to think so too 🙂

My current cosmetics pouch is from Tintamar. I really like their bags and pouches, which are perfect for traveling.

My essentials:
Tissues (in a tissues pouch I got from Etsy. Yep, even my TISSUES need a pouch. I’m weird like that)
Wet tissues (to wipe off makeup swatches :P)
Mirror (6 years old, bought from a 100yen shop in Japan)
Facial blotters
Contact lens drops
Pantyliner & tampon
Hair elastic
Spectacles cloth

More essentials:
Hand sanitiser (got this baby in Bangkok. Love that it comes in a pump)
Hand cream (I like to rotate amongst the goodness-knows-how-many handcreams I have)
Hairbrush/comb combo
BeautySnapz Cuticle Conditioner
Lipbalm (currently using my friend’s creation, Twotreehouse. Amazing stuff)
Lipsticks (currently Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lippies. I like to glam up my bag if I can ;))

That’s it! Not incredibly interesting, right? I don’t carry other forms of makeup with me if I can help it. I get along with these items just fine. Of course there’s always my wallet, keys, mace*, phone, etc in my bag, but that’s for another post.

What’s in yours?

    I LOVE that your tissues have a pouch! Too cute!

    1. Tine

      Hehe I’m obsessive like that 😛

  2. ponikuta

    I am quite similar to yours except I carry mints/breathe refresher spray, hair pins (you never know when you need them) and cotton buds. Weird I know!

    1. Tine

      I forgot about hair pins and cotton buds! Will add that in pronto!

  3. Celeste @ Becoming Beautiful

    Haha I have the same mirror!!

    1. Tine

    You are so organised! And I love the little lip balm you have there, it’s adorable!

    1. Tine

      I’ll do a proper review on it when my friend finally gives me the green light. Have to say though, I reckon it’s going to be a hit with you ladies. It’s so small, so cute, so affordable 😛

    I love crabtree & evelyn too! I’m using the summer hill collection 🙂

    1. Tine

      I have the Summer Hill essential oil, not the hand cream. Is it strong, ‘cos I found the scent a bit heavy.

  6. Jess

    Love these types of posts, I’m nosey like that lol. You are super organised and love your tissues pouch!

    1. Tine

      Thanks J. I love these posts too. I’m nosey and voyeuristic 😛

    LOL…I’m staring at the Carex handgel as I’m writing this – it’s sitting on my work table! :p

    And yes, you are crazy organised…I can testify to that! (I’m the scattered one with things higgledy-piggledy in my bag..haha)

    1. Tine

      Yes thanks for telling me I have a BIT of OCD 😛 As for the Carex gel, we bought it together, right? 😉

      1. beetrice

        LOL that we did! 😀 guess I’ll have to be a bit more organised about the contents of my bag when I come visit you later this month! (or likely will end up packing the night before…as usual!)

        1. Tine

          Well lucky you, you don’t even have to bring much with you when you’re here, ‘cos you can just use mine! I ain’t got no cooties 😛

  8. rinnah

    I am absolutely lemming that Tintamar pouch! How does it stack up against the RooTote pouch? I need a new pouch! LOL. 😛

    1. Tine

      You’ll know about it when you get it after Bee goes back after her hols here 😉

    Hi, I’m a new reader but have problems assessing the site when clicking ‘select by category’. The ‘select by month’ works fine. Not sure if it’s only me. Thanks.

    1. Tine

      Thanks for letting me know Beezy. I had no idea. Fixing it now 🙂

  10. Michelle

    Wow, you are so organised! My handbag is a scary abyss full of long-lost, possibly expired products. d:

    1. Tine

      Haha time to rummage that bag and chuck the old stuff! 😛
