What’s in your makeup bag with Victoria of EauMG

It’s time again for our voyeuristic look into bloggers’ makeup bags! Because we all know we take the good stuff with us, so digging around in someone’s bag tells you what they can’t live without.

This week, Victoria from EauMG is sharing her total cuteness with us. My boring brown Smashbox bag is lame compared to her bag, and now I am inspired to find something more fitting to my personality! Check out what Victoria can’t live without.

Of course I have things in my purse that they don’t leave home without: wallet, keys, iPhone, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Choward’s Violet Mints. I also have random items: rubber bands, screws (I obviously have a few of those loose), a roll of puppy poo bags. But, I can’t leave without my cosmetics. I keep it simple. Well, I didn’t always. Last year, I counted 20 tubes of red lipstick in the bottom of this generous sized HOBO bag. I’ve gotten much better and I keep everything contained in the “Rodeo Queen” cosmetic bag. It’s compartments keep me organized.

Here’s the beauty items in the bag in my bag:

• Chidoriya blotting papers, not to be confused with fancy Japanese rolling papers: Blotting papers are a must for me. I get “office face”.
• Lancome Dual Finish Powder Makeup: sometimes I just need extra coverage and the blotting papers can’t do that
• 1 lipstick, 1 lip liner, and 1 lip gloss: This changes daily. Today, I have NYX Slim Lipliner Pencil, Victoria’s Secret Brilliant Lip Shine, and Lancome Le Rouge Absolu Lipstick: No more 20 tubes of red lipstick. It made my shoulder hurt.
• Badger Organic Lavender & Orange Lip Balm: I can not live without lip balm. This is the one that I am loving lately.
• Crazylibellule & The Poppies Crazystick Solid Perfume: I love to touch-up fragrance throughout the day. These little babies travel nicely and come in a variety of scents. I switch mine out daily for the “mood” that I am in. These also double nicely as a cuticle crème!
• Tocca Hand Cream in Stella: I love the size of this product and that it isn’t greasy. My hands aren’t sliding all over the steering wheel.
• Bath & Body Works PocketBac Hand Gel: We all need to sanitize sometime. Especially after riding in mass transit.
• Suave Invisible Solid Deodorant: Sometimes I get stressed and then get paranoid that I’ll be stuck out and about smelling like stress sweat. I never use this. It’s my “just in case” item.
• Dental Floss: I hate having parsley stuck between my teeth.
• Knock-off Anna Sui Mirror Compact: It has a magnifying mirror. Scary. This is so I can obsess over my complexion.
• Nail File: Currently have a Wonder Woman file that says “Beautiful As Aphrodite. Wise As Athena”. Awesome, huh?
• Bobby Pins: I have these around for awkward length bangs and so I can pick locks like I’m Nancy Drew
