Just a random thought of posting on what’s in my makeup pouch when I took out a lipstick to reapply after breakfast. I realized the content in my pouch is getting more and more!

I picked this purple Estee Lauder pouch because I wanted to put just ten three items like a mirror, a lip balm and a lipstick. Without me realizing I’ve started to put more and more stuff in the pouch until it’s too full to be zipped! Okay. Gonna change to a bigger pouch next week :). Here’s a sneak peek at what I brought to work today.

1) Estee Lauder Double Wear Moisture Powder Stay-in-Place Makeup #04 Warm Vanilla – I swear I didn’t made up the long name. It’s really stated at the back of the case. I use this to touch up the corner of my lips after meal cause I tend to wipe off my powder when I wipe my mouth after meal. This is also useful to touch up under eye just in case some eyeliner or mascara smudges.

2) Olive & Tebe Hand Moisturising Cream – Got this mini hand cream from Fabulous Finds August 2012 box. Absolutely handy for the handbag.

3) RMK Lip Gloss #H-03 Holographic Strawberry Pink – As pink as it may be…this lip gloss appears just like my lip color, only better. I don’t use this quite often. Sometimes when I feel my lipstick is a bit dry on me I’ll top it up with this lip gloss.

4) Estee Lauder Pure Color Long Lasting Lipstick #Tiger Eye – This is a part from Michael Kors Gold set that I purchase back in March 2012. Lovely copper color with lots of shimmer. Hard to be removed with tissue. You’d need lip makeup remover for this. I use this on the days where I don’t feel like using a pink.

5) Dior Addict Extreme Lipstick #536 Lucky – My current “red” lipstick. This is a miniature version so it’s small and handy to be in my pouch

6) Powdered Blotting Paper from Sasa – Finally found a blotting paper with powder at Sasa. This is only RM5.90. Great for nose and inner cheek touch up.

7) Clarins Vanity Mirror – Much more better than normal foldable mirror as the mirror is on both flap. Could also fold it to stand. I have three of these from various purchases GWP thank goodness.

8) Maybelline Baby Lips Limited NY Fashion Edition – So far this is the best lip balm (on a stick) that I’ve used. I’d use this before lipstick.

9) BVLGARI Omnia Coral vial – Absolutely love this perfume! It last whole day on me. Not sweet smelling that can make me dizzy. A bit tempted to get this. I’m calling this my 2nd favorite perfume.

10) Jimmy Choo EDP vial – By far this is my favorite perfume. I couldn’t tell you how much I like the scent. Also tempted to get a bottle when I’m done with the balance 4 miniatures.

11) Kanebo Coffret D’or Liquid Eyeliner # BK-28 – Used to wear this everyday cause it doesn’t smudge except for the wing part as I have happiness tear problem. Now I’m carrying this to touch up if my MAC Fluidline decide to smudge one day LOL.

12) RMK Lip Gloss (shade unknown) – A friend gave me this one day. The color is more milky pink. Another lip gloss that is good to be applied on top of a lipstick or on it’s own.

13) Este Lauder Pure Color Crystal Lipstick #303 Crystal Pink – I call this MLBB (my lips but better) lipstick. I usually wore this in the morning from home to office. When I reached office I’d remove it before breakfast. After breakfast I don’t reapply this again. Which is why I carry a few lipstick with me hehe.

14) Clarins Joli Rouge #724 Simply Nude – If I want to have nude lippie…this is my go-to lipstick. It’s creamy, moisturizing, long lasting and pigmented too.

There you go. That’s the 14 items that I carry around with me every day. Besides that I have another lipstick pouch which I carry another Dior Addict Extreme lipstick lol!!

So girls…what’s in your makeup bag?

Thanks to Kamsiah for informing me about Jimmy Choo EDP vial freebies which was bundled with Female Malaysia July 2012 issue. To my surprise there’s also a sachet of DECLÉOR Shine Control Oxygenating Fluid and a pack of Horlicks 3-in-1 Oats Fibre!

Kamsiah also informed me about L’Occitane redemption from the booklet attached. I’ve gotten a 75ml Almond Shower Oil and 2 sachet of 8ml Shaping Delight.

I also indulged in a bit of shopping at L’Occitane. All along I avoid purchase more than RM250 at L’Occitane so that I don’t need to join their membership. But today I broke my own rule. All thanks to a super nice sales lady. She’s the only first person that is not arrogant at all. Although she’s pregnant, she didn’t hesitate to bring me around the shop and walk me through what I need or don’t need while slowly patiently explaining about the product to me. Will post up a haul post soon.

Months ago me and Wendy were chatting about her obsession on perfume miniature and she actually collects them. Brand new. As in not going to use brand new. I remembered I was saying I only like miniature cause it’s cute and it’s easy to carry in the bag. One day I ran through my perfume drawer and I went blank a bit cause I do have a mini collection myself *proud*

And, here’s the mini collection! I only get miniature that I like and that I’ll use. I won’t keep miniature that has a scent which is not suitable for me. Most of my miniature is given to me free that comes along with a certain amount of purchase. I’ll show you the break down don’t worry.

First stop. Jimmy Choo. My most favorite perfume of all. I actually own 6 bottles of these. Three each of EDT and EDP. Gotten them from Malaysia Tatler March 2012 issue. I’ve used up one each of EDT and EDP thus the missing bottle from the picture below. I would purchase a bottle when I’m done with these 4 babies!

Secondly is Estée Lauder. I have 2 bottles of Sensuous and 1 bottle of Sensuous Nude. Both is the same scent. Just one lighter and one more stronger scent. Sensuous is given as GWP from Estée Lauder. Sensuous Nude is in a perfume package which I bought from eBay for my first giveaway.

Lastly is the mixed collection.

Guerlain Idylle was given to me when I purchased more than RM300 of Emilio Pucci collection. I love floral scent a lot. This is definitely the best floral perfume especially when the top note tones down.

Miss Dior Chérie L’eau the first miniature I bought. I actually like this more than Jimmy Choo. Also floral scent. Maybe I should purchase this first haha.

Lancôme Miracle purchase is unexpected. I happen to saw someone selling this for RM12 so I grabbed it immediately. Never seen such a cheap miniature :). It’s of course the best seller for Lancôme.

Estée Lauder Pleasure Exotic is from an eBay purchase which I gotten some perfume vials for my first giveaway. Of course I kept the miniature for myself lol!

What’s your favorite perfume? Let you know a secret. Till today I still prefer Davidoff Cool Water Woman which I wore daily if I don’t fee like using the miniature.

Recently I’ve been wearing my Jimmy Choo EDP miniature perfume everyday for the past 1 month. The miniature is a dab-on type and it’s getting a bit troublesome day by day. I took off the stopper completely and the perfume just vaporized by itself!

In this week’s tips post I’m gonna be sharing with you a simple and easy way to transform your dab-on miniature into a spray perfume. As my EDP is totally vaporized, I’m going to use a brand new Jimmy Choo EDT 4.5ml miniature perfume.

What you need is a miniature perfume of course, an empty and clean atomizer perfume bottle (you can get this from Daiso for RM5) and most importantly a cosmetic syringe which you can also get from Daiso. Do not use medical syringe ya LOL!

The atomizer perfume bottle that I’m using is only for 5ml. However do note that not all 5ml perfume can be fit completely. This is because the spray pump will be occupying the 5ml space as well. I’d say this atomizer only fit 4ml.

At first I thought of tilting the miniature into the perfume bottle and voila. But I was so wrong. The perfume just won’t flow from it’s bottle! So I have to make some time to go back to Daiso to get this cosmetic syringe. Which explains the delay of this post which I promised last week. This cosmetic syringe is to transfer the perfume liquid into the atomizer. Very easy to use.

Just 2 simple step. First use the syringe to suck out the perfume and pump it back in the atomizer bottle. Repeat as needed. My syringe only fit 2.5ml so I’d need to do the transfer twice.

There you have it. My favourite perfume in a portable spray bottle.

No more missing perfume. Lol!!
