I have quite a wide collection of make up bags but I only really use them when I stay around someones house but when I'm packing my bag it would just be so much easier if it was already in a bag! It would also mean that I could carry my make up bag around town or take it to school, so I put all of my everyday make up products into this small bag which perfectly fits my make up and brushes!
Christmas present from my Auntie, the perfect size to fit the following items...
The first thing I do when starting the processes of making my face look marginally better, is use a scrunchie to put my hair up. I think I got this from Primark in a pack of 3? It doesn't really matter as long as it gets my hair out of the way!
If you saw my most recent haul, you would know that I recently bought this foundation. I have used it almost everyday since then! I would never go back to my old foundations, maybe during the summer when I don't want such a high coverage otherwise this foundation is great! It has SPF 15, a full coverage and helps combat spots - ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! Amazing.
Also in that haul I bought this heavy duty under eye concealer. It's very compact and has a mirror in the lid which makes this concealer so handy to chuck in your bag. In case you didn't realise, this is a cream concealer and designed for under your eyes to reduce dark circles. I love this so much and would recommend it to anyone!
If I want to spend a bit more time on my face then I use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and the L'Oreal La Touche Magique Concealer. The Collection concealer give a much higher coverage that I can use on spots and blemishes whereas the L'Oreal concealer give much more of a highlight effect.
Moving onto eyes - the Benefit 'Stay Don't Stray' eye primer. I use 3 small dots on my lids and blend with my finger. Mine is in Light/Medium which is the perfect colour for me. I can defiantly see a difference if I don't use it! After a few hours without the primer, my eye shadow starts to crease and move about, but with just 3 dots, it stays on all day.
The eye shadow palette that I currently use is the Urban Decay Naked Basics. I got this for Christmas from my parents and I use 'Walk Of Shame' everyday over my eye primer and sometimes use 'Naked 2' in my crease. I did buy the Naked 2 Palette after Christmas but the colours in there aren't natural enough for school. (The massive mirror in the lid is so useful when I'm doing my make up at school).
I bought this brow pencil so long ago and I've only really got into using it recently. The brush at the end is great to shape your brows then the pencil is a great colour for me to fill in the sparser areas.
I don't really have a special order when I do my make up but when I do my mascara I love to use the Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara. This is the tester version that I got with a Benefit set but apparently it's better than the full size. My lashes look so full and long when I use this I have nothing to compare it to!
A staple in my collection. The Stay Matte Powder is long lasting and mattifying. I've started to hit the pan so I'm not sure how long this one will last but I've had it for about 6 months so they last a really long time and they're super cheap!
For school I use the Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose because the lip butter range it really nourishing and leaves my lips soft for hours (which I really need in these colder months) I also think it leaves a slight tint and tastes nice too otherwise I have the original Lip Butter too.
For something a bit stronger with more colour I like to go for the BeneBalm by Benefit. I was given this in a set with the matching BeneTint and LolliTint and LolliBalm. I consistency is so nice, it is really smooth and the colour is totally build-able and blend-able!
And last but not least, my perfume. I use this Just Pink' perfume that I was given from my Mum's friend and at first I didn't really like it but it has grown on me and it now my staple scent! The rose gold packaging makes my heart flutter and the size makes it perfect to carry around!
So that's it! My make up bag! If you want to see a make up looking using these products then leave a comment or give this post a +1.
