Make Up Bags

To become a makeup artist, I needed to get a basic makeup kit together. My makeup that I personally use are in my lesportsac pouches but for my professional kit, I needed to get an official makeup case. I mean, I didn't really have to get an official makeup case but I'm just that type of Gal that needs to get EVERYTHING together from the get-go. Sometimes that tendency bites me in my butt when my new "aspiration" ends up as just an expensive hobby.

Here are some cases I looked at:

Japonesque Professional Aluminum Series Makeup Case with Drawers
This one is interesting. It has different drawer compartments and comes with the roller. The outer shell is pretty sturdy. The doors open up and has brush holders so you don’t really need a brush belt. You don’t need to really unpack your kit bag, you can just pull the drawers out and grab what you need. Runs for around $220 here.

Black Roll Top Makeup Case W/ Straps
This bag is small and compact. Its not HUGE but it has enough compartments to hold the necessary items. From alcohol spritzers to palettes, it fits them all! This is great for someone that just wants to organize their makeup at home too. The only thing that gets to me is that if you pack this thing up, it ends up weighing a ton. Get it here for around $80.


Zuca Bag
At the end, I decided to buy myself a Zuca bag!!! They come in many different colors & patterns and the best part of it all is that you can sit on the top metal part of the bag. Say you were on a set and they don’t have a seat for you…you can opt to just sit on the bag!! Amazing. Standing around the whole day can really get to you so this feature is so kind to your feet. The bag zips open and comes with 6 little bags that you can stuff with your makeup items. You can just shove that back into the bag so the amount of makeup that you can fit in the bag is unbelievable. It comes with wheels so you can pull it anywhere and its very compact. This awesome bag starts around $130 and can go up to $300. I spent about $150. Get ithere!

Make Up For Ever Makeup Haul

Every last Saturday of the month, I get 40% off Make Up For Ever so I decided to hit up the store. Even with that discount, I spent WAY too much and I swore to myself this is the last batch of makeup I’m going to buy for a while..let's see. Everything I got except for the eyeliner, lip pencil and the HD foundation, is for my kit I swear.

What did I get you ask?? Let me list it from left to right.

• Dany’s Pouch - super stoked on this! If I am on set, I can put my brushes in there instead of having it lye around on the table for more neater set up.

• Mist & Fix Mist - this mist sets the makeup on the face after application.

• Eye Seal - holds the eyeshadow and pigments on.

• All Matt Primer - this is amazing! Feels really smooth on the face.

• Lipstick #201 - I needed an orange lipstick.

• HD Powder - this is a smaller version but they had a bigger size at $140.

• HD Foundation #115, 117, 140, 177 & 185 - #115 is for me but I got 4 different colors for my kit. I can mix and match for all skin tones. I’m ready. You know this is the cream of the crop out there now right?

• Star Powder #930 - Shimmery brown pigment. Uber pretty.

• Powder Brush 55N - Love this brush. I will be using it to apply the HD foundation.

• Crayon Lip Liner #KF01A - Love the pink. I can wear it with gloss.

• Aqua Lip 17C - I needed a orange lip liner to match my orange lipstick.

• Aqua Eyes 10 - this is for me, I can’t live without waterproof eye liner in black.
