Building my kit: 1200D Pro Black Soft Makeup Bag

Right now I am slowly building my makeup kit. Some things I already own, but still a lot of things need to be purchased. I am taking my time with it since money doesn't grow on trees. And this is perfectly OK.
I have never had a professional bag for the makeup kit before. So this was my first purchase towards MUA career in my new hometown. Of course everyone wants to have a Zuca nowadays (including me), but it totally makes no sense to invest so much at this stage since I am not sure how well it will go with my career.
I had several thoughts in my head of how it should look and started searching. It had to be soft and spacious (I heard a lot that the regular hard train case is very inconvenient) and should not cost a fortune.
I found this one on ebay.


1200D Pro Black Soft Makeup Bag, unknown manufacturer.
Overall Dimensions: 17 1/2"L x 9"W x 12"H

I tried to find reviews on it, no success. So I decided to risk. It was on sale, too.

Hello there )))


Welcome to my blog, beauties!


My name is Anastasia and I am an aspiring makeup artist.

I have always been an artistic personality and used creativity in my everyday\work life. I can't say I have always loved makeup. That would be a lie. In high school my makeup kit consisted of a mascara, black eyeliner (which I only applied 1\3 of the upper lid and kind of blended away towards the inner corner) and that's it. In college under eye concealer and pressed powder joined the team, because you do need to cover up your dark circles after sleepless nights studying\partying (whichever the occasion).

My love for makeup started couple of years ago with love for a lipstick, red lipstick in particular. I know, this is not the most original thing in the world, but that's how I started. Red lipstick opened the horizons of makeup for me. I realized I lack information on makeup (information is power!) and I started reading and watching Youtube videos like crazy. There were not so many Russian youtubers (BTW I am Russian, 100 points to those who guessed it by my name), who really shared valuable knowledge, so I mainly watched UK and USA youtubers thanks for my English knowledge. My mind was totally blown away and I wanted to be part of the beauty world.
