If you’ve lamented about the lack of recent updates, I will not hesitate to point fingers at my very comfortable bed that has held me hostage the past week or so since I came back. But other than that, I wish unpacking was an easy job, unfortunately it’s not. If I may be honest, I still have clothes somewhere in my suitcases strewn across the living room floor. But the easiest and naturally, most obvious items I unpacked first was my makeup and I thought I’d let you have a peek inside the make up case I brought to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Instead of lugging my original make up case that’s 4kg heavy across oceans and beyond, I narrowed the items down with the help of Mag from makeupstash.com for the specific look I wanted for the Miss Universe 2011 competition.
With 3 check-in luggage and 1 hand-carry, it was close to impossible to bring everything inside my make up bag for make up every day for 26 days. So I took a leaf from the travel make up kit I brought to Hong Kong and packed the essentials in my brand new make up bag given to me by Singapore’s one and only, Sarah of facesbysarah.com
I’ve split the entire stash into 2 parts. The first part focusing on how to get the face of a beauty queen (ie foundation, concealer, blusher and lippies) while the next part will be all about the eyes. So have you ever wondered what goes inside the make up bag of a beauty queen? Well, let’s start unpacking the contents and have a tiny peek.
