The title basically says it all. Do you bring makeup in your purse with you everyday? If you do what do you carry with you everyday? I don't put any makeup in my purse besides lip products. I have a chapstick, a gloss, a tinted lipbalm and a lip stain. Other than that I don't. I used to when I was younger but I would never use it and it would end up getting ruined from bouncing around my bags. Do you bring makeup in you purse. If so. What do you bring?

 
I do. Currently I have lip balm, lipstick and mascara which is my usual. That way, if I ever need to touch anything up, I'm good since I can get a look I like with just those things. But I carry everything in my purse from makeup to hand sanitizer to a pair of socks to pens to bandaids. My friends make fun of me for carrying my life in my purse...

 
I have a little makeup bag in my purse most of the time. I keep lip balm, a lip/cheek stain, pressed powder, concealor, a mirror, a nail file, and blotting sheets in it. Sometimes I'll throw something else in, depending on where I'm going.

 
I see some girls with have like every item they used in the morning to do their makeup in their purse. I feel like you don't need your primer and foundation. Pressed powder yes foundation not really. That's just my opinion. Side note, Friday morning when I was driving to work at 7:45, like peak rush hour I saw a girl driving and putting on her foundation with a beauty blender. I was like really? Your just like asking for a car accident

 
I have an ipsy bag with blush, blush brush, travel size bb cream, powder compact, eyeliner, mascara, and about 8 lipstick/lipglosses and a red lip liner and neutral lip liner, as well as tweezers.
 

 
So jealous of the people who only carry their lip products! I feel like I have way too much stuff in my everyday make up bag. Here is a list 'cause I really like listing stuff:

Make up related

  • Blotting paper
  • Powder (currently MAC Blot Powder)
  • Nude eyeliner (Illamasqua's Vow)
  • Lip balm ($0.85 Madre Bees Organic Vanilla Lip Balm, heh)
  • 1-4 lip product(s) of the day (lipstick, gloss, sometimes also lip primer and liner)
  • Hand cream
  • (optional: eyeliner of the day)
  • (optional: concealer if I'm having a really bad skin day)

Misc items.

  • Pill box with medicine (and caffeine tablets because I have bad sleeping habits *cough*)
  • Mirror
  • Nail clippers
  • Tweezers
  • Comb
  • Bobby pins and a hair tie

The list makes it sound like that's a lot of stuff to be lugging around. I just like to be prepared.

Having said that, I would like to cut out some items but don't know where to begin. Whenever I try to leave something at home I get the "What if I need it?" mentality. Any ideas?

 
I carry a small makeup bag in my purse with me every day, mostly filled with lip products because I don't typically reapply other products after I leave the house. In my purse makeup bag I usually have: Compact mirror MAC prep and prime for lips Urban Decay lip liner in O Zone Revlon lip butter in Sweet Tart (goes with almost everything in the day) Clinique almost lipstick in Black Honey Travel sized Kat Von D lipstick in Backstage Bambi Travel sized Tarte lip gloss in a pink color Chapstick Concealer Rollerball perfume (I change it up from time to time) Bobby pins Hair ties Mini pill box And sometimes if I have a particular lipstick I want to wear that day I'll throw that in too.

 
I carry hand cream, pressed powder, blotting sheets, several lip glosses/balms, and I usually have a bottle of nail polish rolling around in there as well. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I forgot to mention I have -a mini compact mirror from f21 - mini lotion and hand sanitizer - a little pill bottle with Advil and allergy medicine. - tampons, hair ties,a thick black stretchy head band and bobby pins - just counted, 7 lips products. For someone who 80% of the time only wears chap stick on my lips, That's a bit excessive lol - small bottle of PINK brand fresh and clean spray * non beauty/makeup related - my wallet - tanning eye goggles - a little day calendar/notebook - a small zip lock bag with coupons that I clip but never end up using - work id tag and door keypass. - car keys and phone - and usually a cliff bar and a bottle of pure leaf sweet tea. Cus I drink that ever single day and I eat cliff bars every day at work I just ended up listing everything in my bag. Im so nosy but I love seeing what's in everyone's purse

 
I only carry lip stuff in my purse. I don't ever really think I need a touch up during the day, so that is enough for me. 

 
I recently switched out my makeup bag and now using the April Ipsy white and pink slim bag.  It has:

- small pack of Kleenex

- lip balm/gloss

- usually a Revlon lip butter, pink truffle or juicy papaya

- blotting sheets

- mini hand cream

- small 5g container of Aquaphor

for bad skin days, i'll also add a compact powder, concealer, maybe a powder brush

thinking of adding Mai Couture blush sheets for really long days at work

 
I used to keep a lipstick, blush sheets, mini mascara, eyeliner, and powder compact in there. Then I realized I never really USED any of it...so now I just carry a lip balm, a colored gloss or lip butter, and some hand cream. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I just realized how bad of a hoarder I am. I have six makeup bags in my purse. One is for eye products another for face products. I carry two for any essentials such as band aids, medicatioms and items for periods and wipes ect. I have a mesh bag with about five pairs of false lashes and glue. Lastly one with about 15 mini perfumes. In my inner pockets I carry my nitro pills and spray. My IPhone and three stylist's. I also have mints, glucouse tablets and a jumbo roll of sweet tarts candy, thats in case my BSL drops to fast. A book for when I am in the hospital , helps pass the time. No wonder my purse feels like it weighs 20 pounds. Ohh heck and my wallet. I need intervention bad lol.

 
For me, it depends if I'm wearing makeup that day or not. On an everyday basis, I carry around my Rosebud Salve lip balm and my MAC Lipstick in Chic.

If I wear eyeliner, I would probably put that eyeliner in my purse.

For the days that I actually wear full on makeup, I would carry around concealer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, my usual lip stuff, and powder (as well as the associated eyeshadow brush and powder brush) in a small makeup bag or in my clutch.

 
Normally, I carry around a compact mirror, hand cream, pack of tissue, cough drops, and lip balm & gloss. During the summer, I throw in blotting paper and sunblock. I also carry hand sanitizer in my purse but not inside my makeup bag. The funny thing is that I can live without makeup in my purse (there are days I forget to bring it) but I can't leave the house without my kindle even if I know I won't be using it that particular day. I just like having it in case, haha.=p
