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.

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...
