What's In My [Kit] Bag?

As promised here is a breakdown of what is in my makeup kit bag for college at the moment.  You will notice there is a lot of Bobbi Brown in it which is because that is what they made us buy for our starter kit - don't even get me started, I think it is ridiculous and horrendously overpriced, especially for practicing on each other!!!  I would not buy Bobbi Brown ever again, it was only because we were basically forced to... This pile of shit skinned me £350 *deep breaths*

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!

In The Pockets...

1. Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 in Golden 6 
2. Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Sand 2.5 
3. Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation SPF 15 in Porcelain 0
4. Bobbi Brown Tinted Moisturizer in Medium

1. Bobbi Brown Lip Color Sandwash Pink 22
2. Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss in Black Ruby 8
3. Bobbi Brown Lip Liner in Ballet Pink

1. Benefit They're Real Mascara
2. YSL Touché Eclat
3. ELF Eyelid Primer
4. Surgical Spirit in a recycled Lush bottle!
5. Victoria Jackson Show Off Lip Compact

On The Inside...

I've got a few smaller bags inside to keep everything nice and neat, then bigger things just float about loose in the bag.

1. Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation in Beige 3 
2. Bobbi Brown Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation in Warm Ivory 1
3. Bobbi Brown Bronzer/Blush Duo - Bahama Brown & Pink Peony
4. Coastal Scents 10 Blusher Palette (CF but their brushes aren't)
5. Kryolan Loose Setting Powder (CF)

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.

In the other bag I have makeup wipes (CF), lip balm (CF), eye makeup remover (CF), cleanser (CF), toner (CF - it's Lush!), eye cream, moisturiser and hand sanitiser. 

I've not labelled these are there's just so many!!  Most of them are just my own which I've got in sets at Christmas and never use...  If there's one in particular you're wondering about just let me know in the comments and I can tell you what it is! 

1. The Body Shop Shimmer Waves (CF)
2. Bobbi Brown Blush in Slopes 17
3. Kryolan Classic Lip Mini Palette (CF)
4. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Powder Pink 6

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.

What's In My Bag?

I love these kind of posts!  I am very nosy so they are right up my street.  I've been putting off doing one though because I was waiting until I got a new bag, the one I was using was quite big cos I used it for all my uni stuff so I needed A4 note pads, calculator, ruler... all that fun stuff.  However now that I won't be going back to uni I downsized and got this bag from H&M for £12.99 I think it was?

So that is it full, and below is with everything taken out!  I forgot a couple of things actually but only a pen and a lip balm so nothing too drastic!

1. My Kindle, or a book depending on what I'm reading at the time.  I've got a couple on the go at the moment...
2. My diary, I love writing everything down!  I have a terrible memory so this makes sure I don't forgot any plans I've made.
3. Cath Kidson travel card case, this was more handy for when I had my 1/3 off discount and used monthly season tickets but I still keep it in my bag anyway, it looks cute!
4. Ted Baker purse.  Orange is one of my favourite colours!  Sadly it is leather so I will probably be selling it in the next year or so but I only got it for my birthday and I love it so I'm trying to make good use of it.
5. Car and house keys.  I like to keep them all together so that if I'm using the car then I will definitely have my house keys with me too.
6. Wee foldy hairbrush, very handy to keep in your bag, also has a mirror on it too!
7. My swipes and badge for work, I always have these in my bag so I don't turn up without them!
8. This is a sort of emergency kit which I've put together and I'll show the contents of it below.
9. My iPhone!  It also has a wee orange sock to protect it but I'm not sure where that is at the moment...

The 'emergency kit' and work swipes I keep in the flapover part of the bag, the tassles are actually attached to zips so it makes a handy extra storage area.

In my wee bag I have:

• Hand gel
• Bobble
• Earphones
• Oragel for ulcers but I use it for my wisdom teeth coming in - I highly recommend it!
• Ibuprofen and Pro Plus
• Eye drops
• Contact lenses
• Nail file
• Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream tinted lip stuff (not CF)
• And half a hanky...

Finally here's a close of up of my purse and some of the cards I have in it:

• Boots card
• Superdrug card
• Debenhams Beauty Club card
• Student card
• Drivers license
• AA members card
• Morrisons Miles card

Obviously I then have my debit card (I don't keep my credit card in my purse, too much temptation!) and credit card I need for staff discount but they aren't shown.  I also have a library card but I had taken it out and forgot to put it back after going to the library yesterday.

Hope you've enjoyed reading this, I really enjoyed putting it together!  Sorry, it's a bit of a long one haha!
