What's In Your Kikay Bag?

As a woman obsessed with makeup, I always carry with me a cosmetic bag or as most Kikay girls call it, Kikay Kit!

I'll be sharing you what my cosmetic bag has inside.

I don't often change what's inside of my it. I put those makeup that usually looks good whatever look I'm sporting during that day. I'm only at school most of the time anyway so I don't need to bring a lot. :P

This is my Kikay Kit.

Yes, it's very jammed up like a pack of sardines in my small purse. Haha!

My bag is actually a freebie from Majolica Majorca. ♥

So what's inside it?

Oil Control Sheets

because I have super oily skin. :P

Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover Powder

Very good for retouching! It takes care of the shininess of your face and it's translucent!

Of course, some tissue!

Hand Sanitizer

I love this one but I have no idea what brand it is. I'm about 90% sure that the smell is Sweet Pea.

My mom gets a lot of these from Med Reps. :P

The Body Shop Roseflower Blush

E.L.F. Corrective concealer

Not really a fan of the coverage, but it saves the day when something goes wrong with my makeup (like when it rains or so).

Cranberry Joy Lip Balm

A Synthetic Powder Brush

I sometimes use it as a blush brush too! :P

MAC Eyeliner Pencil in Bountiful Brown and a Wet N Wild Eye liner pencil in Black

And a San San Lipstick in Pink Pout!

Although I ALWAYS bring the lippie I used for the look, I always have this one with me because it just looks good on me when something goes wrong such as when my eyeshadow gets smudged big time! Haha!

And that's about it!

I just toss in the lippie I originally used and also the perfume in my bag. If I will be gone too long, there'll be a travel size toothbrush and mouthwash and the like inside too. :P

Anyway, MORE SHARING!

I just painted this last weekend.

It's Acrylic on Canvas.

My thesis has been taking all my time and my hands were itching to paint. 

So I did! I gave myself a few hours to do what I want to do for quite a while now.

So after 3 hours I finished that painting. I'm so relieved that I did. I'm getting kind of sick with my thesis always on my side. Haha. :P

So what's in your kikay kit? How do you like my painting?

Anything interesting you did last weekend?

Cheers,

A Kikay Kit Preview: My Lootwagon's Giveaway Entry!

Hi everyone! I have decided to enter another giveaway, but this time - it's a different sort! I've recently followed Aimee Diego of Lootwagon and have read her reviews and recommendations. She's now hosting a pretty generous giveaway, so of course - I am here to enter and share my own thoughts! We can get lucky, can't we?


My favorite Lootwagon entry is her "What's in my Kikay Kit?" post. I have always loved peering at other girls' purses online (of course, in any other case it would be creepy!). Just take a look at that jampacked nifty kit of cuteness:

I personally do not carry around expensive items in my retouch kit because of a bad experience last year - I went clubbing and I accidentally left my kikay kit on the sink and never got it back! And what was lost? A black Chanel kit, my Shiseido eyelash curler, a Chanel gray eyeliner, a Chanel Glossimer, a The Face Shop foundation powder, a Bloom blush brush, a Bobbi Brown Bridal Face palette and some other expensivo-items. Sad, I know! The content of my bag is more costly than my Nokia 3120c cellphone! Imagine my distress when I realized the items I saved up for *by not eating lunch or skimping on other stuff LOL* were gone, all gone!


So now, I carry around a decent stash that won't make me cry out in agony when misplaced. Unlike Aimee, I can't afford to carry my MAC Studio Fix NC30 and a liquid foundation in my kit, I am just too sloppy and disorganized! Here are the contents of mine:

Laura Mercier clear makeup bag

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder

4U2 Dream Girl Lovelight Oil Control Powder in 2

Laura Mercier Undercover Pot - 2

Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss in 10 Grapefruit

Shiseido Aqua Diamond Rouge Lipstick in RS392

In2it Blush in CB 02 Kiss

Fanny Serrano Eyelash curler

Kabuki Princess Powder and Angled Blush Brush

Clinique Happy 30ml

Dioraddict 2 Eau de Toilette sample

Valentino Rockin'  Rose Couture Eau de Toilette sample

It is a  mixture of high-end and low-end products, perfect for on-the-go touch ups. Although I have a feeling that the items are about to change since I am getting tired of the shades.


Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that sneak peek! Do follow and join Aimee's blog contest - on video!

Cheers,

Trace

P.S. This blog entry actually made me depressed, because it brought back memories of my lost kikay kit. Imagine, 3 Chanel items and a Bobbi Brown Bridal Palette that looks like this:

Ganda, right? Good thing I wasn't crazy about that palette (pigmentation wasn't very good)... If that were a NARS palette I would have absolutely gone bonkers.
