Take a Peek Inside My Makeup Kit


Hi guys! Finally, I bought a new makeup kit. hoorah!! I made a previous makeup kit post here. I got a separate organizer for my toiletries. I felt that there is a need to buy a new makeup kit since I tend to bring a lot more makeup than before. My Philosophy Makeup Kit was just too small and everything was a mess because I just threw all that I need inside it without organizing them. I wanted a clear makeup kit with a divider. I want to instantly see the products inside. It really takes time to  rummage through all my makeup till I find my eyeliner or lipstick. It was too time consuming. Have you experienced this? the time when you need to pull out your lipstick and what you get is your lip balm or mascara? Haha  That is so weird, right? The first time I saw this makeup kit at SM department store, I refused to buy it since I did not like the color and print (polka dots?!?No way!). When the time came that I need to buy this, I can't find it anymore. It was always out of stock. I have been to 4 different SM branches but thankfully, I found one at SM Makati.  
Look how neat it looks?
It is only 199 pesos!Proudly Made in the Philippines too. :D


The brand is KARA NINA (reminds me of the old series in television Anna Karen Nina.. haha). 
Here is a quick run down on what is inside:
Fanny Serrano Lash Curler
Yanquina Volumizer Mascara (I need to get a new mascara.. Any recommendation?)
Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cherry (I got tired of the scent and minty feel of Carmex.. I am planning to get the Maybelline Baby Lips soon because of your comments.. :D)
Avon Simply Pretty Brow Powder (I love this!! )
ELF Brightening Eyeliner in Coffee (I use this for my brows too.. It matches my brow shade perfectly!)
Nichido Lip Liner in Rosette (My HG and I cannot live without this.. I AM NOT KIDDING!)
Nichido Eyeliner in ONYX
Venus and Mars Lip Butter Tints in Pink Posies and Cherry Berry ( I am loving this a lot lately but it is not as moisturizing as I expected them to be because I need to apply a lipbalm first. I also change lipsticks every now and then. My lipstick and blush that I carry everyday changes depending on my mood.)
Jenny Angled/Slanted Brush (Could you see the weird dent?I cut the bristles because they were too thin and flimsy for filling my brows. I cut them and I love the course edges after I cut it. )
ELF Matte Bronzer (I carry this because it can really change my look in an instant. I can slim down my big flat nose and make it more aquiline looking, trim down my chubby cheeks and I can darken my crease are too for that quick eye fix.)
NYX Cream Blush in Natural


I forgot to include my 150 pesos retractable brush in this picture.

Myra E Pressed Powder in Light (I love this for touch ups.)
Fitness Oil Control Sheet ( I am so new to this Oil Blotting Sheets.. I just bought this because it was really cheap. Anyone knows a good one?)
My Leopard mirror (so cute!!!)
Fanny Serrano 2 Way Foundation in Chino (I hit the pan AGAIN!!!)
Ellana Concealer in Smile
LA Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer in Pure Beige
A small tester bottle of Chanel Pink (I bring this because I always forget to bring my perfume or mist because I change bags often depending on where I will go)
This is my retractable brush which I forgot to include in the pictures above. :D It is so soft and so dense. For 150 pesos, it is such a steal.







I am loving this Myra E Pressed Powder. I made a post about this before and the one I reviewed was in the shade Natural. I was debating to myself if I will get the Natural one or this Light shade. I got this light shade because I wanted to test the color if it suits me! I was utterly dismayed when I opened this. It looks so white on the pan. I told myself - Are you thinking that your Snow White's descendant? Dream on Girl.. haha When swatched, guess what?






  






Perfect translucent finish!! It blends nicely on my skin.
That's it!
Godbless everyone!Have a nice weekend!

  10. I think I gotta check out Chino. I got Duchess, but Im not impressed, i dunno.

    You must love the FS foundie Donnababe! You hit pan AGAIN.

    Re: blotting papers, Shiseido has a VERRRRY good one. But it's way too pricey for my budget. I'm happy with J&J ones--- ive tried cheap blotting sheets and I keep coming back to J&J. It's a lil over a hundred pesos but it's very much worth every centavo.

  13. Wow, You have so much stuff in your makeup bag! I want that retractable brush! I've been thinking about buying a Marionnaud or a Charm brush, but I want something cheap. (Yes, 300~ Marionnaud brush will burn a hole in my wallet, still a student!) I just wish I can go to 168 one of these days. Thanks for sharing sis!
