What's in my makeup bag?

Hello everyone,

Today I thought I'd do a bit of a twist in the usual what's in my bag and do "What's in my makeup bag?" The things I keep in this makeup bag are the ones I tend to use every day, and just my favourite little products. 

Let us delve in!

Eye Products:

The one on the left is a mascara by Bourjois called Max Definition. I absolutely love this and I tend to wear this one for school because it doesn't give you ridiculously large and fake looking lashes.

To the right there is another Bourjois mascara called Coup de Théâtre. This one I tend to use at the weekends, it gives longer and fuller lashes and doesn't clump. First you use the white end to cover the lashes which builds length, you wait for this to dry and then apply the other end which adds depth. This mascara fascinated me in the shop and it still does leave me in amazement from time to time! 

Next you have the 17 Eye Kohl which is a really nice eye pencil if you want a smudged or smoky look, I do however find it quite hard to do discreet eye makeup with this so it is left for the weekend. 

Lastly is the Black Glamour liquid eye liner, the tip is super thin which I like as you can then choose how thick you'd like to apply it, I use this everyday at school and have never got any form of warning about my makeup being to full on so I'm guessing it's okay! 

Lip Products:

Some of you might know that lip products are certainly my favourite. It exited my buying new colours, I normally wear red but that isn't on the picture due to me leaving it at a friends beach shally.

At the bottom there is the Jack Wills mint lip balm. This was another thing that kinda amazed me as I'd never seen a mint lip balm, do you not think mint scented lip balm is a bit unusual? You normally see fruity scents. Or is this just me? Uniqueness aside I love this lip balm, I tend to put it on before I go to sleep and when I wake up my lips are soooo smooth! 

Just above this there is the newlook lipstick in the colour sweet rose, it's a beautiful nude with a tint of pink to it and it's just gorgeous! I wear it daily for school and I just really love it.

Next there is the Bourjois lip crayon in the colour raisin. I think that this colour really suits me and I tend to wear it at the weekends. I think it goes with most outfits especially anything black and is just a really pretty colour! 

Lastly for lips there is this lip liner. The name of it has rubbed off because I've had it for quite some time but if any of you know what it is by appearance let me know in the comments. I wear this with the newlook lipstick and it gives a nice textured look. 

Blush/ Powders:

Firstly the MUA mosaic blusher. I bought this solely down to its low price. It's a gorgeous pallete of colours but the one thing that lets it down slightly is the shimmer which I find is too much and more like a smear of glitter. Not really to wear in bright weather unless you want to look a bit like a vampire! 

Love at first Blush by soap and glory is by far my favourite that I've ever used with nice colours and a small bit of shimmer but not too much. I will continue to use this until I discover something better if I ever do! 

I hardly ever use the colour trend powder from Avon as I like a natural look most of the time and I find it's a little too pigmented. I carry it with me however as it is useful incase my face looks shiny one day.

Skincare:

These are all N°7 skincare products from a beautiful skin gift set. I'm not going to talk about each of these in depth because the blog post will end up being too long but I use these daily. My favourites are the day and night creams as they leave your skin smooth and soft but not greasy which is really useful! 

The overnight revitalising eye balm is also really nice if you're having a late night or have to be up early so know you're going to be tired, it just reduces dark circles. 

Concealer ect:

Let's start with the concealer. Two words. Life saver. I don't know what I'd do without this, it's unbelievably handy when you've had a break out of spots that you want to hide or dark circles under your eyes, I tend to apply this and then blend it in with the N°7 Cheek brush. It's a Rimmel London hide the blemish concealer and it's my favourite one I've ever had, though I'm looking for a liquid one so if you can recommend any leave it in the comments! 

The eye radiance brightening wand is also brilliant and it just makes you look more awake, though use it sparsely because it is quite shimmery! I also love the 17 primer which is in the picture as it leaves a nice base for concealer ( or foundation if you use it) it hides pores and gives a nice smooth look to your face :-) 

Brushes:

I do have more brushes than these, but the featured ones are my favourites. I tend to use the middle one for concealer, the left for blush and the right for generally blending. I don't have much to say about these but thought they needed to be included as they are a crucial part of my makeup routine. 

Extra bits:

I'm going to start with the makeup bag, I absolutely love it. It's one of Zoella's and it just looks so pretty and holds everything that I've shown on this post. It's brilliant! The little Paul Prank thing is actually a mirror and then I also had nail scissors and hair grips. I just think these are useful random essentials to have with you. 

I hope you enjoyed having a nosey through my makeup bag and if you did, remember to subscribe! :-) 

Au revoir ☕️❤️
