January 2014: What’s In My Marc by Marc Jacobs Makeup Bag

Winter is looming, the weather sounds crazy here in the heart of London. Having an awful Christmas break suffering from the office viral plague of the flu, being in bed all week is just what I had in mind to celebrate Christmas! I have been wearing a very unattractive nurse/face mask to stop my family from catching it. After being ridiculed and feeling better 6 DAYS LATER, all I could do was play around with my makeup hoping I can go out for New Year’s Eve. New Year, New Me, New Makeup, much BIGGER makeup bag! So whats in my Marc by Marc Jacobs cosmetic bag for 2014?

My 2014 and all time must have are:

Jane Iredale press powder concealer and Mac Kabuki brush!! I am on my 7th Jane Iredale press powder, it is insanely amazing! My colour is Latte and have been using this religiously.

Secondly, I have used Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb for 8 years now, I like to think it is my scent and my close friends can definitely sniff me out with this perfume.

Investing in great brushes is a must, but doesn’t mean you need to buy the most expensive ones! I love the Mac brushes, mid price range and it will do what it needs to do. Don’t casually buy online, visit an actual store to get the best advices from the lovely Mac girls (don’t be intimidated). Also, with eye pencils, it is so easy to carry on using a blunt pencil, get those pencil sharpeners and define those lovely eyes, a blunt brush will just make you look slightly smudged on the face and a bit gothic.

The Vivienne Westwood brooch pin is a sweet little addition in my makeup bag. Why? When I want to go out and I am out of bling when wearing a shirt/blouse, I like to add a little focus piece and pin this little treasure between the collar. It turns all my day working outfits, to a chic little number for the evening.

What can’t you live without in your makeup bag?
