My review of the Paris Berlin studio bag

Over the weekend i launched my new studio bag and i have to say i am very pleased. Below is a picture of the bag on the web..



















I was bit worried that the bag might look smaller than this in reality but i was pleasantly surprised. It was bigger and even sturdier than i assumed.

Things i love about this bag are the colour, the material(so easy to clean), padding around the bag and also fact that i can throw it on my shoulders while i am on the move. I am yet to find something i don't like about the bag..

Bag zipped and empty

I was able to pack all my stuff that i work with into the bag which is just great.

Foundation, pencils, eye-shadows, blush, makeup tools















I have clear bags that i pack my cosmetics and sort them into different categories. A cheaper option would be storage or freezer bags.


Palette, depot-ted foundation, loose powder, brushes etc

                                                                                               













I was able to decant my loose powder into the sifter containers as well as lipstick and cream foundation in the storage boxes which helped to make space in my bag..

Looking forward to going on make-up sessions with my new comfy bag.

Haul from Guru Makeup Emporium and other places

I love my makeup box ( I have a cute pink trolley) but sometimes i am carrying around too much baggage. Seeing that i will be travelling more, i have started the process of compacting my kit. This weekend i will be doing a lot of depot-ting and transfer of products.


My friend/Make-up Artist Kike just got back from the UK and during her stay, she was gracious enough to get me some stuff that i needed( thanks for all you did ... mwah mwah).

First stop for her was Guru Makeup Emporium. check their site here Guru Makeup Emporium . If you are ever in the UK you must have a look.


Beauty blender and cleanser combo
















If you don't know about this sponge you can click on this link (Beauty Blender) to get more info. By the way this picture i have on my blog does not do enough justice. it is just as pretty as it looks on the website pictures. Review of the sponge and cleanser coming soon...


Paris Berlin professional studio bag

A snap shot of the bag 

I wanted a bag that i can decide to sling over my shoulders as well as hold like a briefcase. I had earlier in the year purchased some of the clear bags  so i guess having the bag now makes it all come together. Review of the Paris Berlin studio bag coming up .......  it has a lot of room and well padded. I believe it will fit my new compact kit.


Kroylan Moustache wax
















This particular buy is an experiment.I will keep you all updated.

Powder sifters and storage box
















The powder sifters are from Guru Makeup Emporium but the storage boxes were from somewhere else. Instead of dragging around my loose powders and spilling it everywhere i will be using this to save space. The storage boxes(i have four of them) are to preserve my cream products that i will be depot-ting.

Loose pigments
















This loose pigments are from Super Drug (Dazzle me and 2 true). Colours are purple, bright orange, hot pink, light green. Review will be coming up soon


Face Paints push up sticks
















I got these from Amigos Supermarket in Abuja. Colours are Red , Black, White, Yellow, Green, Blue.

For the weekend i will be having fun with my kit. Thanks to Kike.
