When Makeup and Accessories Collide
Sun, 09/7/2008 by Karen | Posted in: Just For Fun

Your favorite accessories designer calls you up on the phone one night and says, “Girl, I want to make you something special and unique. Tell me what your favorite 5 makeup products are, and I’ll design you a wallet, bag or case to carry them in.”
My fantasy Kate Spade Giza Travel Wallet Version 2.0 would contain…
If you could carry wallet-sized mini-versions of your 5 favorite makeup products, which products would they be?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Oh – I would have HOBO make my littel bag – love their leather goods.
10. christine said, on September 7th, 2008:
karen-
i honestly didnt like any MAC’s base bc it did nothing to hold the curl! it was very helpful in creating volume and length–but sadly, it did nothing for my asian lashes lol. i recommend the shiseido base!! it can work with any mascara it seems.
11. Karen said, on September 7th, 2008:
Hi Lehea,
I had a feeling you’d have your CG TRUconcealer on your list.
12. Karen said, on September 7th, 2008:
Hi Chris,
LOL… sure! But only if I can have a mini tweezerman!
13. Karen said, on September 7th, 2008:
Hi Christine,
Holding the curl is so vital, so I will have to break down and get this. I’ve been using Prep + Prime lash for the last few weeks and while I love it I have noticed that it tends to straighten out the curl. I will def. have to try the Shiseido one, so thanks!

Eek! I don’t know if I can commit to the same products every day!
Well, in the moment here are my picks!
1. Chanel Teint Innocence compact in 1.5
)
2. MAC Shadowy Lady quad (does a quad count as one product?
3. MAC lipglass in Jampacked (very flexible shade!)
4. Chanel blush in Orchid Rose (my best super-subtle blush)
5. A mini brush set or just a fan brush for the blush
BTW, luuuuuuv the Kate Spade wallet!

Hi Nell,
I’ve seen it. I’m on Chanel lockdown though… le sigh.
20. Nell said, on September 7th, 2008:
Oh, that is too bad! I set these lockdowns for myself too, and I find a (totally valid, of course) reason to break it every time, LOL! I´m probably beyond help.
21. Karen said, on September 7th, 2008:
Hi Nell,
Ha, I feel ya pain. I want a whole bunch of Chanel stuff (the colored Exceptionnel mascaras, especially… plus they’ve got these really pretty blushes coming out)! And for some reason I’ve been really wanting to get a bottle of Allure. Do you have any of the fragrances? Now that’s my weakness!
