items Welcome to What’s In My Bag? Here are some of my current favourite makeup items that I absolutely love. From mascara and eyeshadow to lipgloss and foundation, these are items that are currently roaming on my dresser.
As a cool toned girly, I have such a hard time finding makeup. I fell in love with a cool toned palette last year, only to find out it’s impossible to find now. I always treat myself to a new palette every year at Christmas. This year, I decided to g...
Anastasia Soft Glam II Mini Eye Shadow Palette
I’ve tried many mascaras over the years, but the Voluminous Butterfly Mascara by L’Oreal Paris is easily one of my top favourites. It goes on really nicely and doesn’t clump at all. It fans out lashes and provides incredible volume and length. It’s a...
L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara
The Lash Clash mascara by YSL is one of my favourite high end mascaras. The packaging is so luxe and beautiful and the mascara applies like a dream. It adds length and volume without clumps. I received so many compliments and some people thought I wa...
Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara
As a cool toned girly, I love the Nivea Lip Balm Pearly Shine. It adds a nice frosty pink colour to your lips which looks great in the winter season especially. It keeps my lips hydrated and smooth while adding a pop of colour.
NIVEA Pearly Shine Lip Balm - Pink Shimmer
I tried the Maybelline Lifter Gloss when it first came out and it’s totally worth the hype. I had the shade Ice and it’s beautiful! I love the vanilla scent and it doesn’t make your lips feel sticky. It’s shiny and stunning. The ice was just a clear ...
Maybelline Lifter Gloss, Ice, Light Pink
I highly recommend splurging on a good quality sharpener if you use a lot of eyeliner. I’ve had cheap sharpeners in the past, and they either ruin the eyeliner or just don’t sharpen well at all leaving you with an uneven or destroyed eyeliner. I love...
NARS Pencil Sharpener, 1 Count
Maybelline arguably has some of the best drugstore lipsticks and lip products. I love the Color Sensational lipsticks and I purchased the shade More Ruby. It’s a blue based red and it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s really easy to apply. I find some oth...
Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimatte Lipstick
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink is hands down my favourite liquid lipstick. I have the shade Pioneer and it’s AWESOME! I love the applicator and it applies like a dream. Even with eating and drinking, the colour lasts all day and there’s no need for ...
Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lipstick, Pioneer
I haven’t used a lot of Rimmel London products, but I’m head over heels for the Stay Glossy lip gloss, especially the shade Sundae Best. It’s a beautiful baby/frosty pink. I lean more cool toned and it suits me really well. The Stay glossy lip glosse...
Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss, Sundae Best
Over the years, I always go back and forth between using eyeliner. One of my favourites is the CoverGirl Exhibitionist Eyeliner. It glides right on and you don’t need to apply pressure at all. The colour lasts all day long and it comes in many beauti...
COVERGIRL - Exhibitionist 24 HR Kohl Eyeliner
Throughout my years of wearing makeup, I’ve tried a variety of different brushes. I’ve had everything from expensive ones to cheap ones. Personally, I think it’s worth the splurge. With cheaper brushes, the bristles would come out over time. I also f...

The Face Brush Set
This is the first concealer I’ve ever purchased and used and I’m extremely impressed. L’Oréal does a fantastic job with the True Match concealer. If you already use the True Match foundation, it’s super easy to find your shade.
I had a really bad br...
L’Oréal True Match Radiant Serum Concealer
The foundation I loved for years ended up being discontinued, so I had to find a replacement. At the time, I was more on a budget, so I was looking for drugstore brands to replace the higher end foundation I was using at the time. After a long journe...
L’Oréal True Match Liquid Foundation 2C Rose
I absolutely LOVE the Loveshine Lip Oil Sticks by YSL. They glide on so nicely and feel really hydrating. There’s a huge range of colours and the pigment is really nice. It’s an awesome choice if you want to wear colour on your lips, but hate that dr...
YSL Loveshine Lip Oil Stick
I recently added another eyeliner to my makeup bag. The L’Oréal Infallible eyeliner was on sale so I decided to grab it. I purchased the shade Slate Grey because I find black is a tad too harsh on me. If you don’t own a sharpener, or don’t want to bu...
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eyeliner, Grey
The Million Lashes Mascara by L’Oréal Paris is another one of my current favourites. It does an amazing job of adding length and volume. It really fans out the lashes without clumping. I bought the black shade, but there’s other colours as well. L’Or...
L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
I will admit, this one was an impulse buy. Originally, I saw it on TikTok and fell in love with the shade S-Mitten With You. It’s a beautiful berry red and perfect for cooler skin tones. It’s also really nice for the holiday season. The CoverGirl Yum...
COVERGIRL Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss, 920
It saddens me that this is so hard to find nowadays, but I love the loose powder from Nude By Nature. It nicely seals up your foundation and adds the perfect finishing touches to your makeup. It’s easy to use, easy to apply, and leaves your skin look...
Nude by Nature Translucent Loose Finishing Powder Travel Size 1.5g /.05oz New
As I mentioned before, my skin tone runs cool and I find that cool toned palettes are really hard to find. I stumbled upon the Bare Minerals Heathered Palette and I love the selection of purples. The colours are pigmented but I find you do need to ad...
BareMinerals Mineralist Eyeshadow Palette
I just bought these last week and they’re awesome! I usually just clean my brushes with some soap and my hand, but I would be stuck with residue on my brushes sometimes. Especially the foundation and concealer ones.
I found these for under $10 and ...
2 Pack Silicone Makeup Brush Cleaning Mat
