My Makeup Pouch-what's inside


The thought of having just one lipstick scares me. Eventhough my lipstick of the day is red, I need to have other lipstick on just in case I change my mind on my next touch-up.

So here's a peek of my makeup safety blanket and a tiny swatch of each lipstick.

Pouch content :
NYX round lipstick Chloe, Bobbi Brown Ruby, Christian Dior creme de gloss 845, NYX lipgloss Beige, Clinique High Impact Magenta Rose.

Oh I forgot to take a snapshot of Burt's Bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranate oil and Burt's Bees Honey lipbalm. How I have 2 lipbalms in my pouch is beyond me, but I would say it's probably out of laziness.

7 products inside a smallish pouch. My pouch should get an award!

Seeing 3-s

I have to kick myself on the butt for having 3 (almost) identical cheek colors. Seriously, I have a problem finishing up one blush, let alone having 2 similar ones to hit pan.

Some might say Nars Orgasm is peachy pink, but side-by-side comparison with Rimmel Apricot showed very little difference. Rimmel Apricot might look a tad red, but on the cheeks, it look similar with Nars and TBS. Formula wise, TBS and Rimmel blushes are more powdery so you need to be careful that you don't put on too much while with Nars the effect is a bit different. You can put on loads but since the blush is finely milled there's not much chance that you'd look all clownish.
