Anyway, enough moaning and onto the kit! To make things easier I have put (CF) beside items which are cruelty free as there are a lot in here which aren't.
I got the bag from eBay for about £17 but I kind of wish that I just splashed out for the £30 Charles Fox one as I feel like this won't really last and the strap is actually sewed on squint... Joys of eBay!
I've got a few smaller bags inside to keep everything nice and neat, then bigger things just float about loose in the bag.
In this bag I have my powder puff (I use this when resting my hand on people's skin when doing eyeliner to stop me smudging their base), mascara spoolies (I clearly need some more haha!), spatulas, pointy cottonbuds and a pencil sharpener.
Lastly I have Kryolan Dermacolor Mini Palette in Fair (CF) which I used to do a tattoo cover-up in this post, and a very cheap and cheerful MUA light pressed powder (CF).
So there you go! I think I will also do a post on sanitising products as that is a very important part of being a makeup artist and also helpful for your own items, especially if you are prone to breakouts.

that's an impressive kit!
ReplyDeleteHaha thank you :P
DeleteOh wow that's a lot of make up! x
ReplyDeleteYes it's bloody heavy!!!
DeleteAh, I had to get a bobbi brown kit too, I'm not really a fan either to be honest, I don't like the foundations and apart from a few pieces its not really my type of makeup.
ReplyDeleteMy Kit is mostly Illamasqua now but I have bits and bobs from elsewhere MAC, Laura Mercier etc.
I have a masssive zebra train case but its heavy to lug about, I like that clear bag you have xx
Oh joy! Yeah it's not the best, the eyeshadows are so crap, especially the white one! Oh I love Illamasqua but I only have a foundation and concealer from them so far - i want it all!!
DeleteAww yeah the train cases are nice but they seem so heavy!
That must weigh a flippin ton! Poor you having to lug it all about x x x
ReplyDeleteIt does haha :(
Deletesuch a good post very interesting xx
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWHat a cool bag. Wish I had it. I like Bobbi Brown stuff. Really nice makeup. I'd also like to try that elf primer. You should do a tutorial on it.

Thanks, I've not really had to get a chance to try it out properly yet, I'd like to try it compared to UD Primer Potion :)
DeleteHoly crap that's a lot of stuff!! It sucks that they forced you to buy a brand you don't like, I would have refused. What's the point in spending that much on high end stuff just to practise? Surely it'd be better to get something mid-range? Maybe they had an affiliation with BB?
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for an award on my blog =) xx

DeleteOooh thanks I'll have a look :D
