whats In My Make Up Bag

I love looking around for make up and actually buying stuff to own them but I don't really use much make up on my face day in and day out. I try and keep it as simple as possible. This post is about what i carry around in my bag everyday for application on the go. I don't put on make up every day but i keep this little make up bag with me at all times JUST IN CASE!


^ I got this little bag from Forever21 in Dubai in the summer when i went with my cousins on a trip there over the weekend. I love how its so cute and floral but also quite small in size but seems to hold a lot of stuff!


^ My foundation is MAC studio fix in NC43. It comes with a little sponge under the foundation pot but i prefer to use this little brush i got at MAC as well but it came with a bronzer i bought a couple of years ago i think


^ Yes i use the same brush for blush even though i probably shouldn't as it sometimes still has left over foundation but i really love this brush and don't feel comfortable using any other one for my face. The blush I'm currently using is by MAC in pinch o' peach.


^ I'm not a big fan of pencil eye liner as you can see this eye liner isn't well taken care of but I keep it in the bag anyways. Its MAC smolder eye kohl


^ Two Maybelline mascaras. I've already done a review on these. Check it out for info>> http://cosmeticcraving.blogspot.com/2011/09/favorite-mascara-of-all-time.html

^^ Sorry about the horrible manicure. I was testing out one of the nail polishes i got from Aysha <3 <3 as a birthday present


^ I switch the lipsticks i have in the bag every once in a while but for the time being i like these two too much to change. YSL and MAC. The MAC is russian red. I don't know exactly what the YSL one is because it has too many number under it and I'm not sure which number is for what so i apologize for that.


^ Raspberry lip balm from The Body Shop because its too yummy to pass up! And finally some Labello Angel Star. I'm not really fond of this particular one but it's always dumped in and I never seem to take it out for some reason.

Hope you enjoyed this overload of photos and little notes!

A taste of Barcelona

So Aysha and I were lucky enough to go on a university trip to Barcelona, Spain earlier this March! It was a trip I wriggled myself into since it was mainly for the Interior Design students as they had planned to visit all kinds of museums and architectural offices and things (but I still tagged along haha). However, we managed to squeeze in a little bit of much needed shopping <3 <3

We convinced the professors that were with us to finish off the activities early one day and headed back to La Rambla (the place we were staying at) and wandered the streets on our own and it was the most fun you could ever have.

It would probably too much to write about everything we bought in one sitting so this will probably be a series of entries over a period of time.

One of the things that I was most excited about buying is a beautiful pair of suede booties <3 We found a little shop among dozens of other shops that had all kinds of boots and it was heavenly! I think we stayed there for quite some time trying on boots and looking around. They also had bags and suitcases among other stuff that I don’t really remember (maybe Aysha has a better memory of the shop hehe sorry!). I think the employees were either very bothered by us or very amused because we left the shop then came back again with two other girls! Aysha actually left the store in the boots she bought, poor little thing, her feet were killing her that day especially in those darn flats! (much love)

Anyways back to the gorgeous booties!

I love heels and boots and having them combined in a grey suede pair of booties with open toes was beyond perfection! It’s also the perfect length for comfort. Not too big, not too small. The heels are about 3.5 inches long and the booties have got side zippers on the inner parts. I’ve been wearing them on and off for a while as I’m more of a flats on the go person and prefer being able to walk fast when I’m out and about. We sadly don’t have elevators in University so I have to walk up and down three flights of stairs and it annoys me so much when I’m in heels!

Another thing I bought at the same store is a Chanel Inspired red bag in the exact size and style that Aysha has except she has it in grey!

(Sorry about the quick shot for this one, didn't have much time to take a proper photo)

Hope you enjoyed this first and short taste of Barcelona goodies! More to come soon! xx
