My grab and go make up bag

I always have a prepacked make up bag; which I can carry in my handbag in case I end up spending the night somewhere unexpectantly or I need to do my make up en-route to somewhere, normally when I end up getting up too late. It has even proved itself useful on a couple of weekends away.Alongside a toothbrush *not in the picture because who doesn't know what a toothbrush looks like?and a selection of other toiletries   including my solid perfume which would have been in the piccie except it has gone walk-about.
I reallystruggled to put the kit together, because I needed make up which could be adapted to any situation it has to be truly multi-purpose. So the products I've chosen are really easy to work with, for almost anything and anywhere.
So whats in the bag? Well here's the list in addition to a little review of each....


MASCARA- Bad gal, from benefit £17.50 Its got a bit grotty from so much use and it truly is water proof, I have well and truly put it to the test and have even worn it when swimming. One of my favorite mascaras the only thing I am not to keen on is the brush.

EYELINER-Extreme felt tip liner by Collection 2000 £2.99 Easy to control, lovely brush and once again it is undeniably  waterproof, its easy to control and with practice can even be applied on the train.

FOUNDATION £3.99 NYC mousse foundation, A cheaper version of Maybelline dream matte mousse. Its not perfect for everyone's skin type but it does its job

PRIMER- NYC primer, £3.49 It's not the best, but for the price I can't really complain. I really prefer That gal and porefessional by benefit,  they really can't be beaten but there a little bit out of my price range for everyday use.

SHINE CONTROL TISSUES- Superdrug- Comes in useful now and again especially in summer. However, I haven't had much use of them so I guess they will be out of the grab and go bag pretty soon.

PALETTE- Soft neutrals my estee lauder. I love this it has a bronzer and four eye shadows. I can't find it on the website but I'm sure it won't be at high street prices. I think the colors are really versatile, even though they didn't photograph well. I would be more than willing to buy this again even though it is a tad bit expensive.
