So today, I figured out I will be sharing with you guys what I have in my makeup kit. This is the one I bring with me everywhere, either to work or when I am going somewhere else. So keep on reading. :)
Okay, so let's start with my kit itself. This is something my late cousin gave me when she was still alive. So basically, it doesn't only serve as my makeup kit, it feels like whenever I bring this with me, I feel like I'm still bringing a part of her with me. It's just a simple violet pouch. She knows I love purple and anything related to that color that's why she gave this to me. Nothing fancy, just a simple pouch.
So let's get on with its contents. :)
I'd like to start with my compact powder. This is the Maybelline 2-way Cake Foundation compact. I've had this for years now and I've hit pan on this a lot of times already, but since I already have the compact itself, I just buy the refills. I apologize though for the wasted sponge LOL. Just shows how overused this is already haha! But of course, when I buy the refill and it already has a sponge included, I also replace the sponge.
Next is my blush. This one is from Nichido. Though I also have other blushes from different brands, this is the one I prefer to take with me. I have been using Nichido blushes since I was in college, and I can say that aside from the fact that their blushes are very affordable (this one costs only Php 88.00), the pigmentation and the quality of their blushes are very good. :) It gives that natural looking blush without looking like a clown LOL. I also have two other blushes from Nichido but this is the shade that I prefer to bring with me. I also included in this photo my retractable brush. I've also had this for years now and I just wash it from time to time. This one was given to me by my Mom years ago so I really don't know what brand this is.
Next are my eyeliners. If you have noticed, I'm a sucker for eyeliners, and if you have been following me on Instagram, you will see that I can't go anywhere without wearing an eyeliner. LOL. I always bring two: my gel-liner from FS and a liquid one from Nichido.
Another product I have for the eyes is this single eyeshadow from Essence Cosmetics. I prefer my eye makeup smokey or dark, that way it gives my chinita monolid eyes some depth. I do put on my eye makeup before going to work or if I'm going somewhere but I like having this handy especially if I feel the need to retouch the darker shade of my eyeshadow in the crease area. This is the Essence Metal Glam in the shade Choco Chic.
With lipsticks, these are what I bring with me. This is my holy grail- the Ever Bilena Magic Lipstick with Vitamin E. I have been using this for years now and I've also been through a lot of tubes of this. What I like about this is the color lasts me the whole day! :) and this only costs Php 85.00 in Watsons and in the SM Department Store- Beauty Section. This was something introduced to me by my former colleague in my previous company. I can wear this lip color alone or I dab a little before I put on my other lipstick. That way I am assured that once the lipstick fades of, I still have some lip color on. :)
The Lipsticks on the other hand are both from Aido. I do bring two shades, so as I can wear whatever I was in the mood to wear that day. I always have my brown shade which is the Aido Lipstick in Number 13, and the other one is the pinkish shade with a red undertone which is the one in Number 2.
For the brows, eversince I colored my hair ash blonde, of course I had to make sure that the colors of my brows will match the color of my hair. When I was still a brunette, I used the Shawill eyebrow pencil in 02. Now I have to get something which matches my hair color which is the Nichido Eyebrow Liner in the color Taupe.
And another thing I keep in my kit for my brows is the Marrionaud 2-sided brush. The other side has a spulley and the other side has a eyebrow powder applicator. This is what I bring with me to make sure that whenever I find the need to retouch my brows, I have this to help me make sure it looks natural and the color has been applied evenly. I am not sure though if Marrionaud still has this in the market since I've also had this for years now as well.
And the last item which I keep in my makeup kit which is not a makeup product is my contact lenses holder. Honestly, I don't know what they call this thing but I like calling it the house of my contacts LOL. Anyway, I am near sighted, and instead of wearing eyeglasses to work or when I go anywhere, I prefer to wear contact lenses so that it won't be a bother to me and I can wear my sunnies especially when I'm going home from work (I work the night shift) or if I'm going somewhere else during the day. Also, being able to wear contact lenses gives me the opportunity to wear my eye makeup. :) Because basically, I also have a pair of eyeglasses which I wear when I'm just at home or at times when I just have to run errands and I feel like since I am wearing my contacts daily, I need to give my eyes some rest from them.
So there you have it. That's all I have in my makeup kit. :) I hope you enjoyed reading this post. :) How about you, what do you have in your makeup kit? :) Feel free to share it with me in the comment area below. :)
