Every now and then Green Beauty Bloggers, being the deliciously curious creatures that we are, will send out a beauty tag to the interweb answering a few questions they’ve developed and then tagging other bloggers to answer it. Anything goes with these tags so when Katie of The Green Product Junkie tagged me in her *come as you are* post I had two thoughts: one, this was going to be a wicked bit of fun and two, the kraken was about to be released.
The idea behind Katie’s tag was that you had to spill the contents of your makeup bag as they were the moment you read her post. No staging, no additions or deletions. Simply spill, snap a photo and explain.
I was on my way in to work when I read the post so I thought I would *spill* the contents of my for-the-office makeup bag as well as the makeup bag I had at home. You be the judge and let me know if you think the kraken was released in either photo.

alexis smart ‘my personal assistant’ – until the day I can actually have a personal assistant alexis’ floral tincture is helping me to feel less frazzled and more organized and motivated during my day -hmm or maybe it’s the brandy that’s in it…
province apothecary face balm – a luxe blend of rich oils and beeswax, this balm is perfect for protecting my skin against harsh winter winds. I use it almost like a spot treatment – before I head home from work I dab a bit on my cheeks if I hear the winds starting to pick up….gawd I miss summer!
ilia beauty lipstick in ‘femme fatale’ – I heart this shade of red so hard because you can wear it and feel polished and sexy without it screaming “i’m wearing red yo!”. There is a time and place for Marilyn’s trademark red…the office is not one of them.
pai skincare fragonia & seabuckthorn hand therapy – a perfect stocking stuffer, I’ve been keeping this chubby little beauty by my side at all times since the air in the office is quite drying.
homemade lip balm -making homemade lip balms to feed my addiction means I never have to say “bloody hell where did I put it?!” … because my recipes make an obscene amount of pots.
clips, nail file and elastic – all essential pieces to any makeup bag I have ever and will ever assemble

thanks to Katie for tagging me! I now tag Nath from BEAUTYCALYPSE, Sarah from Osmia Organics, Mademoiselle Nature and Barb from JACQS ORGANICS
house rules: tag some other green beauty bloggers, keep the title as it is and, of course, have the best time.
*after a deeper review of bite beauty’s ingredients, and a debate with sarita of ediblefacial.com, I wouldn’t buy these again simply because they’re not as clean as I’d like my lip products to be.
