My “Work” Makeup Kit

This is an overdue post that I owe Kitten. My “work” makeup kit contains a lot of stuff. When I say work, that means when I’m out on bazaars.

my work makeup kit


Before, whenever I’m out on bazaars, I just apply very little makeup. But I’ve noticed that my clients look at my face and ask what makeup I’m wearing and they inquire about a lot of things. It also helps when they see the makeup on my face. They get convinced to buy. So now, I make sure that I’m in full makeup.

For my work makeup kit, I use the Too Faced Marie Antoinette kit. It’s my biggest kit and it’s perfect for my palettes and brushes, etc.

Of course, I have to bring my trusty Clinique foundation and Kleenex oil blotter. I also have my Sigma Kabuki Brush and my HG lip balm. These are regulars in my kit no matter where I go.

On this particular day, I decided to wear my MAC Russian Red (review soon) lipstick so I had to bring my lip concealer from Etude House, my Avon lip liner and my lip brush.

I also bought my Too Faced Glamour To Go Fairy Edition palette and my Estee Lauder palette (which I got for free) as the eyeshadows that I needed were there. Of course, I had to bring my Charm travel brushes and my Sigma mini blending brush.

I brought my Urban Decay eye liner just in case I needed to touch up. For my cheeks, I used the Benefit Georgia blush which is a very pretty and very light peach shade that went perfectly with my over all look.

My weekend/lazy kit only consists of foundation, blotting papers, buki brush, lipstick, lip balm and blush.

So that’s it! Do you also have a work and weekend makeup kit? What do you bring?

    That's a wonderful and neat kit to bring along. I can't keep a small kit... I just end up stuffing all my makeup and bringing them with me everywhere. =/

    @Katherine: I think being a blogger and entrepreneur forces me to have a big makeup kit. But for everyday use, I'd like to keep it small.

    yey! finally! I've been waiting for this. I'm loving everything inside that make-up kit of yours.

    I'd have to agree, you have to look your best ALWAYS ALWAYS, since you are selling make-up, it convinces potential buyers.

    As for the question: Do you also have a work and weekend makeup kit? What do you bring?


    I love this question, my work and weekend make-up kit is the same always. I don't know, I just want to bring everything. If only I could bring my palettes at home too I would. hahahaha.

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
