What's inside the Mother of all Makeup Cases!

I recently bought a huge makeup case from Yazmo.com.
The previous post has all the details of the case.

Here's what I filled the case with.

The smaller of the two pieces hold some blushes and some eyeshadows what are not in palettes, in the two sliding trays.
Under that, in the deeper compartment, holds a lot of my palettes, including eyeshadows, blushes, concealers and powders.
It also has my clear and pink Sephora bag, which has various moisturizers, setting sprays, etc.
I also keep the foundations for my airbrush makeup machine in a small bright pink bag.

The second piece, that bigger one with wheels, holds some of my brushes. It also has a deeper compartment which holds:
Makeup remover wipes, makeup brush belt, Kleenex, and my airbrush makeup machine.

There are 8 smaller drawers that hold:
1) primers (face& eyes)
2) mascara wands, eyelash glue, scissors
3) flash lashes, -individual and strips
4) foundations and concealers
5) powders and highlighters
6) eyeliners
7) lipgloss and lip liners
8) lipsticks

The sides of the bigger case also have mesh zip pockets. I have my makeup face charts in there with some business cards. :)

I love using this case, it has really helped me organize my beauty products!

MAC- Archie's Girls Collection

I knew this collection would be very popular! Who doesn't have a little Betty or Veronica in them?!

It sold out quite quickly online, but I was able to purchase two products that I really wanted from the collection.

From Veronica's side:

Prom Princess Blush- described as a mid tone violet pink. This blush is super pigmented! You only need a small amount on your brush. Might also need to be blended out. I like the Après Ski flush it gives my cheeks. Wear is 8 hours.

Mall Madness LipGlass- described as a mid tone pink violet. The texturesuper glossy and the pigmentation is medium. Wear is 4 hours. I'm currently obsessed with this shade! I'm light to medium skin toned with dark hair; this LipGlass is the perfect shade to take for day to night. It looks really great paired with the Prom Princess Blush.

Newbies from MAC & Sephora

These were bought about a month ago... So I've had the pleasure of really testing out these products.

From MAC I purchased:

Eye shadow quad ALL WOMAN
Colours: FLAWLESS FIGURE, BRAINS & BRAWN, ALL WOMAN, BLACK MAGIQUE

- colours are warm to neutral
- Flawless Figure is pretty frosted, a little harder to blend into a look
- Brains & Brawn is my fave, great for contouring the eye
- All Woman is a greyish green with soft sparkle
- Black Magique is a great alternative to black. Has a brown tone to it & hint of shimmer

Over all it a good palette to throw in your makeup bag for a weekend away. Would make killer smoky eye!

Studio Finish Concealer NW20

- has SPF 35
- great coverage for blemishes
- not great for under eyes, a little drying, could settle in creases
- long lasting result

MAC makeup brush 128

-I actually returned this brush as it wasn't the size I was looking for


From Sephora I purchased:

YSL Rouge Pur Couture -Glossy Lip Stain

- Colour is #7, a coral shade
- Long lasting stain that is also glossy! How'd they do that?!
- I love the colour for work or night out, so easy to wear
- Will probably buy more, however they are quite pricey ($34)
