All American Bikini
Thursday June 03, 2010
I snagged the bathing suit I’ve been really wanting on Tuesday! :biglove: Got it for $5 off too~ Glad I waited I guess! It’s one of the American flag/Stars & Stripes types from Old Navy… :fleetheart:

Glad I went Tuesday to buy it and didn’t wait until today. It was storming so badly earlier…
So we just stayed in and made curry. :okicon:

haahaa from tonight~ :rainyumb:
I picked up 2 anklets last weekend~ ;) They were 2 for the price of one. :ruru: Suddenly I became obsessed with finding anklets! Sometimes in summer I just want to wear flip flops, especially for long walks. :facepalmcry: But flip flops can be so boring and I thought a cute anklet would sorta “dress it up” a bit, hahahaaa! The one on the right really sparkles in the sun! :star:

Oh, oh oh~~
I took these last week (or the week before?) and I’ll share em tonight since I don’t have much to talk about. :blushingcute:
These are the contents of my makeup bags. Yes, BAGS. And each has a sorta different level of made-up, hahahahaaa! :iiface:
I won’t list every little thing but if you have a question about something or the brand feel free to ask~~ :skipping:
The Work Bag
This makeup bag I bring to work with me. It has the most basic and necessary items! Mostly for fresh, not overdone looks.

- concealers
- highlighter powder
- face powder
- Eyeshadow primer
- black eyeliner pencil
- eyebrow pencil
- mascaras (Maybelline’s Double Extend fiber & Faily Drops curling type)
- basic tools like brushes, eyelash curler, compact mirror
- 2 lipsticks (MAC)
- 2 blushes (1 orange, 1 bright pink)
I admit I have 2 cases of eyeshadow at work in my desk. :wakuwakuheart: They’re basic shades in brown, light pink, and a few blues. This keeps me from having to bring a bigger bag in. :fleetheart: And yes, I do take 5 minutes to apply my makeup after I get into work. It stays fresh and gets less greasy throughout the day that way (the train ride is sorta rough on my morning make I guess, LOL, because I’m always rushing!!) :deadtired:
I periodically switch out what’s in this main bag. :good: Sometimes I just get really obsessed with a shadow color or something so I turn it into my daily look.
The Glitter Bag
This bag is mostly for any glitter/sparkle makeup and small extras like Sephora freebies.

- 5 glitter eyeliner
- KATE sparkly shadows
- Basic Cover Girl light purple shadow
- Physician’s Formula dry/wet tri-color brown shadow
- Sephora white eyeshadow
- 1 gold, 1 purple and 1 pink pencil eyeliners
- Stila all over shimmer liquid
- multiple mascaras by Tarte, Benefit, Maybelline
- liquid black eyeliner
- Victoria’s Secret pink lipstick & gold lip gloss
- Clear sparkle lip gloss
I sometimes bring this bag into work with me too if I feel like having more fun with my work make for the day! :lovelymake: I used to try and not wear glitter to work because I’d get mixed comments, :;_;: but I’m over it now so I often bring this in~ :upheart:
The FULL ON bag
This bag has everything I need when I go full 100% make. :cutesy: It contains my lash glue (and all the crappy ones that come with the lashes that I never use, LOL) and other things like gel liner and color palettes! :twinklepink:

- Hard Candy & Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes
- bronzer
- lash glues
- backup clear eyeshadow primer
- Anna Sui pink blush
- canmake orange cream blush
- tarte cheek stain
- fake eyelash lash applicator
- under eye “rev-er upper”
- etude house gel black eyeliner
- sephora lipstick in an orangish beige color
- Victoria’s Secret eyeshadow in dark gray and smokey dark purple
The Past Collections Bag
This is the largest makeup bag. I don’t go into it very often. :rejected: I tend to put makeup I’ve stopped using (usually because I find something I like better) or makeup that gets messy :madmark: in this bag. I have some loose glitter dust items in here because they’ll spill too easily in bags I move around a lot. :stressedmind: This tends to be where things “go to die” too. :eep: I’ll go through it once a month or so and toss out any makeup that’s past its prime. :ng: Right now this make is all still good, just not used very often… :F


- compact mirrors
- lots of blushes that aren’t “pink” enough for my tastes now
- a few shimmer dust items I keep here because they mess up my cloth bags
- a few bronzers
- some lip glosses for sure!
- Some neutral eyeshadows
There are a few things I don’t keep in bags like my lashes and BB Cream and so on~~ :rose2: I keep them in my medicine cabinet and on my vanity in my closet :doubleheartbeat:
Surprised at all the makeup? Or were you expecting more? I’m surprised but then again sometimes I feel I don’t HAVE ENOUGH! gaaahahahaa :crap: consumerism is such a hard disease to shake huh! :ng:

your friend
brittany,

Haha best post ever – I just love looking in people’s bags – any kind of bag, totes, work bags, makeup cases – etc.. it’s just fun :)
I hear lots of good things about NARS, but haven’t gotten anything yet – want to try some stuff out at Sephora!
-
Actually i’m not surprised.
on soompi i’ve seen people post so much more that its crazy.
one drawer is all one type of make up. they stock up on make up.
one girl had a drawer just for contact lenses. -
I am glad I am not the only one with multiple makeup bags!! Also, your bags are so cute. (from the glimpses I can see of them). I wanted to thank you as well–I tried out BB cream because I saw you mention it a few times in your posts and I am such a fan of BB cream now. I really really love it.
Also, anklets are awesome. But they never fit me–same with bracelets. Even in Japan I have a hard time finding a size that is snug and not falling off my bones :(
I had a question for you–would you be willing to do an interview for August or September? I do an interview each month of people who I find inspiring or who have great style or something awesome about them that catches my eye–http://findingtokyo.blogspot.com/search/label/interview–that link can show you past work I have done and how I word things. I know it is quite far in the future as I already have the rest of the summer months booked but I would really appreciate it if you would :)
Let me know! Feel free to email me any questions if you have them.
-
hey, i was just wondering what blogsite this is. cause i want to start blogging but i want it to be on this blogsite cause it has cute little symbols that you can do haha. can someone please let me know? that would be greatly appreciated :DD
-
Those anklets are so cute!! (^//^*)
I’ve been sercetly waiting for this kind of post for a long time without knowing it I think. I ♥ looking at your stuff. lol.What is the name of the black eyeliner pencil you use for everyday? I’ve tried so many and can’t find one that I love.
-
That bikini is so cute~! And such a good price too~~
I like anklets. Especially in the summer time when you can wear them with flip flops or sandals or what not.
You’ve got quite a collection of makeup there! I don’t usually bring much out with me… Only basics like powder, blush compact, rose water mist, the lip colour I’m using that day and lip balm. Otherwise I just keep it organized in large drawers according to the type of cosmetic it is XD -
Hm not sure if you have mentioned it before, but I was wondering what BB cream do you use?? :)
Wow so much makeup!!!!!!!!!! Lol, I swear the only place i’ve seen so much make up before was at the store. :P
I love the make up bags though very cute! And you are so organized with it too. -
Such a gorgeous anklet set~~
Wow, so much make up! Your make usually looks natural and light, so I’m a little surprised. :) I knew you had glitter, but whoa!! I think it’s awesome, though…everything’s better with sparkles ^_^b -
Hi!!~ This is my first comment!
I’ve been lurking around your blog for ages, but didn’t know when to post! T^T;;
Wow, I really envy all you makeup!
Comparatively I have really little (about 5-10% of yours..?)
And fake eyelashes = so hard to do! =O
I’m always amazed by all the gyarus (and you) who can do it almost effortlessly! (or so it seems)~ -
Hehe, I feel better about my makeup collection now that I know I’m not the only one! I have the same UD eyeshadow primer and the Maybellene double extend mascara♡
You have a lot of pretty eye and cheek products~ it inspires me to experiment more. XD
I would love to see your eyelash collection, too!I’m so jealous of your huge magazine collection! My bf makes me throw them out/sell them when they build up, and my mom threw away my collection of ollllllld egg mags. ;_;
The bikini and anklets are cute♪
Are there any special cosme products you’re planning on buying on your next Japan trip?
-
Wow. You have so much make up! And I have exactly the same badgal mascara as you :D
-
Wowwwww *_________* I hope to one day have as much make-up as you! How does the Stila all over shimmer liquid look? Is it like a sutble shimmer you use on your cheeks or all over your face? I’m sort of looking for something that’ll make me look dewy but glowy? Haha, does that make sense :P
-
I love all your stuff. ;)
Ahh you have such good taste in buying things!! :) -
the bikini looks really cute like it!
i -
wow, im amazed at how u classify ur make up! haha, what i have is a large make up bag with everything in it and I will just bring necessary items in another smaller pouch like when I go for a short trip or something. :D oh btw, I love that make up bag with little red hearts that u bring to work!!
-
hey,,! so many mke up. i still need to buy more :) always dont think is enough for me .haha
-
Oh I’m a bit jealous of your teeny bikini. After being morbidly obese you just can never have a bikini body. Anyway, there is something very endearing about the bold American theme of the bikini, I bet it will stand out on the beach! ^^
Are those all magazines I see behind you??
Wow, you have like 5x as much makeup as I do! That’s very nice how your organized it into different look styles.
-
uuu love the bikini~ i still need to work on my body to be able to wear one XD
and i thought i was the only one with multiple make up bags! i got so many pouches that i started dividing my make up around but i still dont use them enough :p
-
What type of eyelash glue do you use? So far I can’t find any that I really really like.
-
YES! Surprised with all the makeup! love your first makeup pouch! I’m using my cher pouch now too! it is so roomy! Love all the side pockets.
Love the ‘belt’ detail of the bikini! I’m so inspired to color my hair to match the bikinis i have for my bali trip! do u think i should? keke!
-
OH THE JOYS OF HAVING A JOB
lol i’m kidding, i promise~ being a college student i use something until it’s gone, even if i don’t like it (you understand, i’m sure~ haha). i guess foundation is the only exception just because i’m so worried about my skin breaking out, but…aah makeup!! D:
you definitely inspire me to own more stuff, though! hahaha is that a good thing? oh well! :D (especially blushes. i keep wanting MOAR PINK with blushes, but none of the over-the-counter stuff looks good enough…)& your bikini is SO CUTE. i need to go swin suit shopping, but i’m not looking forward to it…urk :x
-
Oh i really like your handpainted glowing effects ^_^
It might be a simple effect, but i still did not get it …as always with all simple things xD…to get a perfect make-up is a solo science :P
-
Kind of off topic, but do you ever have people call you a weeboo? If you have, how do you deal with it? XD
do you get offended or do you just laugh it off?
-
Wow, you really go all- out huh? I wish I had patience to put more makeup on! My “daily look” usually just consists of cover-up, mineral veil & blush! sometimes mascara, but not that often lol.
I love to look inside people’s bags at what they’ve got! great post :)
-
oh ps! really cute new swim suit! ;D
-
-
That bikini is so so CUTE~!! Love the marine colours! ❤
The anklets you chose are really gorgeous too~ love the one on the left.
& BAG CHECK!! You’re so organised, I’m jealous! XD -
Wow. I am most definitely surprised. I really did not realize that people have more than one make up bag. I thought all you need was one bag to hold them all. ^^;; But your system makes sense since you wear make up just about daily and you can just make a quick grab for what you need that day.
-
Random comment but I love how organized your bookshelf is! And I have the same magazine holders, too bad they don’t sell that design anymore, it was the best one.
Anklets are so cute. My mom loves anklets. You can never have too much makeup. You’re makeup collection is well organized though. love love love it! -
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh where did you get that geisha comb??
it’s soo lovely^^ -
Your makeup collection is so awesome!!! You might have more make-up yourself than our local drug store :-))) So cool! i wish I owned so much for myself, too, but I’m a poor student XDDD
The bikini looks so cool, too! I bet you will stand out going to the beach or pool with that! :-))
-
Wow that is some serious make-up! ;) You’ve got such an amazing collection. My make-up bag is rarely touched. I only have eyeshadow, lipstick/balm, mascara and eye-pencil hahahaha. I do try to wear mascara if I go out and about into town or visiting people but the eye-shadows only used for “special occassions” hahahahaha. I really suck don’t I? ;)
I love how organised your shelves are. I want shelves like that :D
-
