Fashion Challenge Day Nine: Your Cosmetic Bag

I've never considered myself to be a person who wears a lot of makeup. Lately I've been getting into lip color a little more, but that's about it. I have a history of wearing a lot of eye makeup, though, and I'm still guilty of the liquid liner swoop.



Back in 2009 I wore a lot of eye makeup, apparently.

Anyway, the first image outlines just about everything in my makeup kit right now. Like I said, it isn't a lot. I currently have some items coming in the post from NYX and ELF, but I'll save all of that for another day and another review. Here's the breakdown (I tried to do this from left to right, top to bottom):

• Revlon PhotoReady foundation in 001-Ivory. I don't use all over foundation, but I pull this out sometimes if I have a larger blemish or splotchy area.
• Royal Apothic in A Cutting Garden. I was lucky enough to get this at Rudy's Roundup in Chicago for a mere three dollars. It normally retails for $34. The smell will always remind me of my favorite city (Chicago, if you didn't know already).
• Michael Kors Very Hollywood perfume
• ELF lipstick in Posh. This is only a dollar at Target and has such an awesome pigment.
• Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Vava Violet
• Lime Crime Lipstick in Coquette from the Pop Romance Collection. Everyone knows how much I love this stuff. I can't wait to get more colors!
• Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Liner in Blackest Black
• Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Waterproof Mascara in Very Black
• Stila Make Me Blush palette. I bought this at Urban Outfitters. It only takes the tiniest bit to show up on my face, so I have to be careful.
• How could I not have some moisturizing Chapstick? I live for this stuff.
• Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Gothique
• Maybelline Define-A-Brow in Medium Brown. I have such thin eyebrows that this is a must for me. I think I'm replacing this soon, so stay tuned.
• Almay Intense i-Color Eyeliner in Purple Amethyst
• Angled brush for my eyebrows
• Eyeshadow brush for, well, eyeshadow. I am replacing this one soon.
• Revlon travel brush. I bought this ages ago and haven't been able to find another one. The brush twists down into the tube and has a cap that goes over it. I use it every day for my correcting powder and blush.
• Small brush used for my smudge pot.
• Covergirl Outlast Lip Stain in 430. It looks like they discontinued this color, but it's a nice dark coral. I like stains a lot since they're not sticky and are less upkeep.
• L'Oréal Wear Infinité in Deep Mocha. I actually use this for filling in my eyebrows with an angled brush. It works much better for me (most of the time) than drawing them in and I don't get such harsh constrast.
• L'Oréal Wear Infinité in Matte Smooth Latte. This is the only eyeshadow I use now.
• MAC Select Coverup in NW20. This if my every day coverup. I've used it for years and would never switch to anything else.
• Maybelline Eye Studio in Eggplant. For days when I don't want black liner, I use this nice purple tone. I switch between this and the smudge pot.
• Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in Passion Fruit Pop. I use this gloss when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to hassle with lipstick.
• NYX Lip Laquer Pot in Coral-Licious. I'm a sucker for coral, what can I say? 

What about you? Do you have any staples in your cosmetics case? Better yet, do any of you use those awesome/terrible Caboodles cases from the 90s? I've been looking for one lately...
