what's in my makeup bag | charlotte tilbury makeup bag



Soooo recently I purchased Charlotte Tilbury's makeup bag, and it's replaced the bag that I took from my sister (without her knowledge of course).

From the varying lipstick prints to the metallic details, I like this bag a lot! It's made of canvas so it's a nice weight, doesn't feel cheap at all which was one of my main concerns. Even the zipper is fancy and has a very nice, er, pull to it? It's very roomy as well, and I love that it can fit my full-size hand cream with room to spare.

The only quibble I have about it is that the print ends abruptly at the bottom of the bag. I would have preferred if they removed the ones that got cut off, or finished the entire lip. Heck even get just the top lip if anything. The quote on the back is pretty cute, though men can wear makeup and feel the same way too! Overall if you're debating on whether to get it or not, I would push you into the direction of getting it ;)



Now, onto the contents...



Lots of lip stuff. Or at least a lot to me, because I only got into lip colors recently. I have a Jack Black lip balm and even though it's not my favorite, I like it because it offers SPF. Urban Decay Naked2 is my current favorite lipstick, and it's a light, brownish nude that'll go with any makeup look I have on. NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee is a nice alternative to lipstick when I can't be bothered to be fussy about application or have flaky lips.



My full size Hand Food can fit in here with more than enough wiggle room. I like my bag to be organized (even though it's far from that, ha) and it bothers me when my hand cream is floating around somewhere and I can't find it. I have a deluxe sample of Fresh Life perfume in here for whenever I need a little pick-me-up - I love how it smells, and I'm considering on getting the full size.



Finally, the miscellaneous things. I have a pack of Boscia blotting linens and even though my face is far from oily, I liked using them in the summer. I'd rather blot away the shine than to pile more powder on top. It's not summer but I have them with me "just in case I decide to go to the gym one day," which is still waiting to happen. There's a small pot of CeraVe in the tub... In Ole Henriksen packaging. Friends have asked me if I have moisturizer because they didn't have time to slap some on before leaving, so I'd like to be that lifesaver ;) I also have napkins from who knows where, and a Kate Spade notecard from a gift that Vennesa gave to Xiao Wei. I asked if I could have it because it looks fancy and she said yes, but I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with it.
