My Make-up Bag

Hi guys xx 

Today I thought we could delve into my makeup bag together and have a look at some of the products I have been loving forever. I would like to say that I am not one to wear LOADS of makeup, because I don't think you need it to be beautiful. However, everyone has some things they are insecure about and want to cover up, or like the way they look with a certain product on e.t.c, therefore whether you do or don't wear makeup doesn't really matter. 

So let's go! 

Okay, so this is my makeup bag, and it's safe to say it is very full, to the point it is actually overflowing (note to self to buy a bigger one). 

I will start with my old and new foundations. My old foundation was the Clarins matte perfection (not sure what shade) but it was one of the only foundations that matches my skin tone perfectly! I was really sad when it started to run out because I'm not sure what shade it is and I can't see it in any nearby shops. 
I bought the So Matte Miss Sporty perfect stay foundation in 03 medium. It is great in summer when I am slightly tanned, as it matches my skin tone then, however it was slightly darker than I thought so it isn't great for everyday use. 

Next is my powder, equipped with my powder brush which is the softest thing EVER!! It is by Makeup Academy (MUA) and mine is in shade 3. I find it gives a very even, matte look and works really well with my foundation. The brush is great at avoiding blotches and keeps my skin looking coloured and even. It was only a few pounds and was well worth it! 

Moving on to quite a new purchase of mine, my eyeliner pen. I found it very difficult to apply eyeliner without it being all messy and hurting my eyelid, so I thought I would try something other than a pencil. I picked this pen up for £3.60, which I thought was reasonably cheap from Boots. It is the Rimmel London ScandalEyes Precision Micro Eyeliner in the colour black (I'm pretty sure your could also get it in light and dark brown as well). It has a soft tip and I find it makes applying eye liner soooo much easier and it does great wings too. 

Next it my rather large collection on Ruby lip glosses. I got them in a big bulk set and it had many colours, many of which I still haven't tried. They range from silvers to dark reds and my favourites would be the dark pinks and reds.  

Okay, we're basically halfway, so if you've made it this far I hope your finding this remotely interesting. My next two products are the MUA lipstick in Shade 3 and it is definitely my favourite lipstick! It applies really well and is a great hot pink colour that stays rather well too. The other product is a cheap lip pencil which I also use as a liner, it came in a big set and was qite cheap, but even though it isn't great quality I find it does the job pretty well. 

On the subject of lips, I have the Body Shop Born Lippy lip balm and colour in Strawberry. I love this lip balm because it smells great and also gives my lips a subtle colour which is great for light makeup days. There are many others lip balms in this collection including raspberry, which I would also recommend. 


Moving onto eyes now we have my mascara, which is again by MUA and is the Mega Volume Mascara in black. I have had this mascara for quite a while now and it hasn't dried out, which is one of the reasons I love it. It also makes my lashes look significantly bigger, and is easily removed at the end of the day. I really like MUA's products because all of the ones I have tried so far seem to do their job magnificently!


 This is my pink blusher, which gives a nice subtle colour, which I like as it makes you look healthy without looking like a tomato! I'm not sure of prices or brand as it was given to me but any blusher is a must have.

And finally we have my large collection of eyeshadows. I have 3 pallets and a compact with several rows of colours, mainly bright or neutral, and I love all of them. Eye shadow is my favourite make up product because I think it ca really make a look and can turn any makeup into something more exciting! 

So, that is everything in my makeup bag, not including some wipes and spare brushes. I hope you found this interesting and try out any of these products because I use them all and they are all great!
