Question of the day: What's in your make-up bag?

When you're rich and famous, have access to all the best makeup artists and need to always look fabulous, you could really carry just about any amazing, super-luxurious beauty product with you in your make-up bag.

But, as Fashion + Beauty editor Jennifer Romolini blogged today, InStyle raided a handful of celebrity make-up bags, and you'd be surprised what mixed bags they are. The picks range from Rihanna and her $7 Covergirl's Volume Exact Mascara to Katherine Heigl's $95 Hylexin eye cream. There are even some ingenious little things, like the one Jenn pointed out - Lucy Liu carries cotton swabs in a old gum tin.

Now, Shine chicks, we're wondering what's the amazing stuff in your own make-up bags! I personally always carry around Clinique's All About Eyes concealer (cover-up AND eye cream in one tube), Burt's Bees lip balm (cool minty goodness for chapped lips) and MAC lipstick (sheer and pretty with a vanilla scent).

Open your purses and give your fellow readers a glimpse at what's going on in those make-up bags. Tell us what your on-the-go must-haves, and we'll tell you ours.

    I am a MAC fanatic. My latest trip to the mac store i purchased a oil control lotion i apply that before my make up so i don't need to do touch ups during the day my first application stays flawless all day. so the only thing i need to keep in my bag is lip gloss, listerine strips, and toothpicks

    Foundation, eyeshadow duo, eyeliner, mascara, oil blotting paper, eyelash curler and bronzer, hand sanitizer, tissues, blush-on cream and lipstick. My make-up bag is quite heavy.
