What's in my Makeup Bag?

Hello ladies! (and gents if there are male readers out there)
So, here's what I keep inside my makeup bag whenever I go to school or wherever I may go.

So this is my makeup bag. It's just a small pouch with leather at the bottom and blue fabric with white polkadot print.

I got it from "EGG" which is a stall which sells lots of cute pouches and purses. I'm not really sure where I got it, but I think I got it at SM Mall of Asia or SM Dasmarinas for 100-125 pesos. 

It's just a small pouch that I could easily put on my bag no matter I use my back pack or my sling bag.

Let's jump right into what I have inside.

TADA!! That's how it looks like inside.

FACE:

The first thing I have here is the Nichido BB Cream Every Day Wear in BB 04 Beige. This is what I always use whenever I go to school. It has light coverage bur it evens out my skin tone. I don't necessarily always bring a bb cream or a foundation since I rarely retouch them when I'm out since it tends to get a little messy.

Next up is a loose powder.

Actually, I just transferred some powder from my Nichido Final Powder in Ivory Glow in a smaller container since Nichido Final Powder is too huge to fit my little makeup bag. I love carrying around loose powder (you could use pressed powder if that's what you're comfortable with) to freshen up my face. This powder doesn't really do much on my face, but still, I love keeping this on my makeup bag. (I need a powder for my oily face!)

EYES:

Next up is this gorgeous eyeshadow. You guys know this. Everyone's raving about this eyeshadow in the Filipino beauty community. It's an eyeshadow from San San and this is in the shade Deep Earth Brown. Ok, I don't usually use this when I'm out, but it just comes in handy, just in case I need it. I use this mainly as an eyeshadow, but you could use this also for contouring and filling your brows.

Next is my holy grail mascara. This is the San San Waterproof Thick Lash Mascara in Black. I love this mascara. I sweat alot and this one stays put! I even rubbed my eyes with this on but it didn't budge. I'm almost out of it though so I might need to use my other mascara before purchasing a new one. But yeah, keeping a mascara just in case you'll need to touch up for your lashes

Next on my kit is an eyeliner. I don't really recommend this eyeliner especially if you have oily lids. It smudges so bad but hey, it's in my makeup bag. I don't even know why it's there. I barely even use an eyeliner so err.

I have naturally thick brows. I don't need an eyebrow pencil but, this Essence Eyebrow Designer found it's way on my makeup bag. I use this on the blank spaces on my brows to make them look a lot fuller. (a little trivia, two other girls from my class uses the same thing in the same shade)

LIPS:

I've been using alot this new lipstick (review coming soon!) from Ever Bilena which is from their Supreme Lipstick line. I use this in the shade Audrey (from the creme line). It's just a subtle red color (a little hint of pink) with small shimmers on it.

Next is this Jordana Twist and Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Honey Love (that's a long name). This is my most used product when I'm out. I don't even bring a lip balm because of this. This thing keeps my lips moisturize all day. I love putting this on top of any lip product (lipstick, lip tint, etc.)

TOOLS:

Of course I'll need something to apply my powder right? It's always handy to bring retractable powder brush. I just got this from an accessory counter at a mall but the bristles feels soft and smooth. It's hygienic that it has cover to prevent bacteria from residing in the bristles of the brush.

Last is this blending brush from Estee Lauder. I use it to put on eyeshadow. It helps my shadows to blend better and look more natural.

So that's what's inside my makeup bag. Aside from these things, I normally have my mirror and blotting sheets residing on my makeup bag, but for some reason, they're not on my makeup bag today/ Maybe they're somewhere in my bag. XD

I hope this post somehow helped you (in any case). More reviews will be coming up soon. We still have class so I'm still quite busy.

[REVIEW] SAN SAN Waterproof Thick Lash Mascara

Hey there beauties. Another review! Yay! So here's a review on a mascara locally available in the Philippines. This is the San San Waterproof Thick Lash Mascara with Vitamin A, C and E.

Woot woot! So this costs more than a hundred pesos I think, I don't clearly remember. I have the worst memory in terms of prices. But I believe this is cheaper than some of the local mascaras available.

Together with this line, they also came out with "Long Lash". They only differ on the packaging (the long lash was in blue packaging) and the wand but pretty much, they look the same to me.

PACKAGING
It came in a silver and black packaging and as I remember, it came in a blue box when I bought this. I'm not really sure if there are other color aside from black which I got, but I'll update you on that soon. Nothing special on the packaging really.

I really like the wand though. It was originally straight but I bended it to make it easier to apply. Personal preference. It is a silicon brush by the way.

The stopper on the packaging helps you get the appropriate amount to avoid getting more product than you actually need which is a good thing.. at least for me. Getting more products makes my lashes clumpy and ugly and I do not want that.

APPLICATION
I love the formula of this mascara. It's not too liquidy but not too heavy too,

(Sorry for the puffy eyes and dark circles)

(Bare lashes)

(Sorry for my untrimmed and ungroomed brows)

As you can see, I naturally have long lashes (genes baby), well, at least that's how I see it.

This mascara gives off natural looking mascara. It is not spidery and it doesn't clamp my eyelashes at all. It makes my lashes fuller and gives more volume. I like wearing my mascara as thin as possible so basically, you can apply more coats of mascara to achieve more intense look.

I don't usually curl my lashes, but with this mascara, it manages to curl it alone. I don't know if this works for others though but I like it that it gives me those curls.

PERFORMANCE
Honestly speaking, I really love this mascara. Yep, it has that awkward smell which may be bothering to some but at least for me it's not as bothering. Those who are super sensitive to smell should sniff the testers on store before buying it. I always use this at school and my classmates would complement me on how this baby makes my lashes so beautiful.

I don't know how it works on the "waterproof" part, but I remember that I cried once with this on and rubbed my eyes but it didn't smudge on me. I think it did a smudge a little bit on the outer corner of my eyes. Other than that, I really like it.It stays on for hours. It is easy to remove with my PureDerm Skin Solutions Make Up Remover.

I recommend this. :)



What are your thoughts on this mascara? Are we on the same boat? Do you love it? Do you have any suggestions? Post it on the comment box,

I hope this helped you on deciding on getting this mascara or not.

Note: Have you noticed that all pictures are taken on my left eye? Well, another review is coming up later tonight or tomorrow. :)
