My Cosmetic case

Make up artists are required to carry a cosmetic case,but for the everyday young lady a cosmetic bag can come in quite handy. In fact, in most cases girls combine their toiletry bags and cosmetic bags/cases into one.

I have never been big on cosmetics but when I recently decided to be a full on 'girly girl', having a cosmetic bag seemed like the perfect big step to take.

So here I am, blogging on what I feel are the essentials in a ladies cosmetic case and a few items I have.

Email me and let me know what cosmetics you use and which I should try out, remember I am new to this :)

NAIL POLISH:

This is by far my favorite item in my cosmetic bag definitely because I paint my toe nails every two days. If I don't have a sparkly color I'll have a neon colour or simply paint my nails black white or grey. I once painted my finger nails pink and my mom hated it probably because it was a bit too bright for her liking.

Top nail polish brands...
1) O.P.I Nail Lacquer
2) Sally Hanson HD Hi definition nail colour
3) ESSIE
4)ZOYA
5)BYS Black nail polish
6) lastly ladies if you see a $2 nail polish you like don't be afraid to buy it. Some of the most fun nail polishes I've had are the cheapest(of course they only stayed on a few days).

NAIL POLISH REMOVER:
Any brand really,as long as it removes nail polish.

LIP GLOSS/LIPSTICK :
Always always red lipstick!! You never know when you may need to make a statement. Ideally put on the red lipstick first and then some clear gloss to give it shine.

Other than that any of your favorite colors will do.

Top lipgloss brands:
1)MAC
2)L'Oreal
3) Elf Lip Gloss
4)Revlon
5) Burberry Lip gloss
6) Covergirl

Next in my cosmetic bag is actually eye liner. If you are my friend and reading this blog then you are probably shocked haha. I don't use the eyeliner but I have it 'incase of emergency' whatever my emergency will be lol.

CUTICLE REMOVER:
I have the kind of cuticles that grow really large and can look bad so I always make sure to keep a cuticle remover. Also, removing my cuticles makes my nails look longer which I really like.

TWEEZERS:
Obviously used to shape my eyebrows which I get waxed once every now and then. I would like to get them waxed more often except I find that every time that I wax I get so teary eyed because of the pain.

HAIR REMOVER and BLADES:
Ladies please please always keep your armpits shaved! Not shaving your armpits actually shows the lack of interest you have in keeping your body cleansed and presentable.

Products I use are Skintimate Moisturizing Shaving Gel Strawberry Tangerine Twist which actually doesn't stay in my cosmetic bag but travels with me all the time. I use Schick Quattro for Women 4 Blades also Skintimate Strawberry Tangerine twist. I know this a topic most bloggers won't blog about but I feel we need to share our secrets too...someone out there may be struggling to find the right product to shave with.

Also a MUST in my cosmetic case is ...Waite for it...VASELINE!! I can't live without my Vaseline. I use it on my face. Should I decide to use another product on my face it would result in pimples. I also have really thick lips which can dry quickly so Vaseline keeps my lips moisturized for a longer period of time which allows me to put on lipgloss and look fabulous ;-) .

Non the Less I hope you enjoyed this post. Other than these products I do keep my fashionable rings,some seashells that I picked up at the beach recently and a mirror in my cosmetic case :).

What do you put in yours??
