Just wanted to show you all what's in my makeup bag and what I wear everyday.
Products:
- Rimmmel London Match Perfect Foundation (shade 400 natural beige) £6.99
Medium - full coverage foundation with added SPF18. It has tone technology which works with your skin tone and makes you look flawless under any type of light. lately I have been mixing it with a foundation from sleek as my skin tone has gotten darker from the sun.
TIPS: I apply the foundation using my flat top S.I.L.K Pro C141 brush from Royal and Langnickel this has dense brissells and really helps to give a flawless application.
- Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (shade 3 and 4) £4.19
These concealers are my favourite from the drugstore! I have used a range of different drugstore concealers and in my opinion these are definitely the best quality. They offer a lot of coverage which is great because I have under eye circles. This concealer covers them immediately.
TIPS: It is also a good idea to set the concealer with a pressed or loose powder just to take the shine away from under the eyes as this will draw less attention to the area.
- Eyelash Curlers (QVS)
My eyelash curlers are from my college beauty kit as I had lost my QVS ones a week before this. The QVS ones are amazing and they really give a long lasting curl to the lashes.They also come with two replaceable rubber inserts. I had mine for 2 years and they were still going strong (until I lost them of course! haha) Sorry there's no link for this item :(
- Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (Very Black) £4.99
This mascara is brilliant for volume and length! (The best of both worlds) The lash building formula and brush makes lashes look fuller even grasping those tiny lashes for a full separated look. No clumps (unless you like the clumpy look) This is definitely an item I continue to reperchase!
- Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex Mascara £4.99 (now £6.99)
This was a limited edition purchase as I got sucked in with the introductory offer! This was also advertised on the TV as a versatile look. This mascara enabled you to go from day to night just by adding more mascara. No clumps. It has lycra technology that leaves lashes feeling flexible and soft and looking voluminous.
- Natural Collection Blushed Cheeks (Peach Melba) £1.99
I absolutely love this blush and it gives a natural colour to your cheeks. I thought that the colour would be too pale for my skin tone but was I wrong! It blends in so nicely and doesn't feel cakey on the skin instead it feels soft. It is very easy to apply. I apple this with my blush brush that I purchased a while ago from eBay (not very good quality but it does the job for now until I get my new brush set :)
- MUA Pro Pallette (Undressed) £4.99
This palette is the one similar to the Naked Palette by Urban Decay but at a fraction of the price! The colours are so pigmented! It isn't something I wear everyday but I use it quite frequently. It has earthy colours which can be used during the day and also dark greys which can deepen the look for a night out, it is so diverse which is why I love this product.
-Vaseline (Aloe Vera)
Now one interesting fact that I bet none of you know about vaseline...did you know that vaseline doesn't actually absorb into the skin...it actually prevents the moisture escape. So when we are applying vaseline to our lips and skin it is really doing the complete opposite, instead of moisturising our skin its just stopping the moisture we have already in our skin from escape. Since I learned this fact (from studying Beauty Therapy) I no longer use vaseline and instead I recommend using Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm Tin (£3.69) as it has no petroleum in it and is made from 100% natural ingredients and has moisturising oils to HYDRATE the lips.
All the links to the items are above.
Hope you liked this and found it useful
