What's in my everyday makeup bag?


I wish I was one of those girls that had about 5 products in their makeup bag and used about 2 brushes. But I'm not. Instead I'm the type of girls that carrys a tonne of things 'just incase'


From left to right:
-No7 eyelash curlers,
- Elf angled brush (came with a eyeliner)
-Superdrug foundation brush, the best for blending and does not tug your skin
-Elf powder brush
-Real Techniques blush brush
- Eyebrow and eyelash groomer
- Fan brush, came in a random brush roll. I use the very top while contouirng.


In order of how I apply...
- Balance Me skin balancing moisturiser
- MaxFactor facefinity, as an under eye concealer
- Collection lasting perfection concealer for blemishes
- Either Bourjois healthy mix or Revlon colour stay as an all over foundation.
- Pond's Powder
-MUA blush, shade 2
-NYC smooth skin bronzer in sunny
- Collection 2000's voluminous mascara
- MUA clear mascara as a brow set
- Jemma Kidd concealer pen
-Sleek Storm palette, I push the black into my lash line and mix the two matt brown colours for my brows.


I don't keep any lip products in my makeup bag, however my favourite lip products that I switch up everyday are kept in various bags and places. Here's a run down,
- Clarins Instant light lip perfector, 01
-Jemma Kid lip gloss in Petal
- MUA lipstick in shade 2
- Maybelline baby lips in Mango Pie
- Lancome Juicy Tube in Moulin rose
- Mac Lustre lipstick in Milan Mode
-EOS lip balm


 Above - Mac, Milian Mode
Below - MUA shade 2


Before I draw the post to an end I would like to mention that I don't wear everything mentioned everyday and switch it up so I have a slightly different look, some days I don't wear blusher and other days I won't fill in my eyebrows or wear a lip product. It just depends on my mood, hence why I carry so many different products.

MaxFactor Facefinity Review

I've finally got round to doing this review and to be honest I feel a ting bit guilty about it. Basically I was planning on getting this review all sorted and up today, but I was not planning on having  a HUGE breakout on my cheek and to be honest I was really not feeling like beaming into a camera.

So for now you've got a hand type swatch type thing haha.


I first tried this foundation 2 weeks ago. I had received a sample in a magazine and slapped the contents on while having a lazy Sunday expecting a greasy, cakey looking result that would stick to dry patches. But how wrong I was, at closer inspection in the mirror I have been left with a matt skin like veil. It was unbelievable, seriously I cannot rave about this enough.


First off it's replaced my revlon colourstay (for the meantime) It offers the same amount of coverage while not feeling like you have anything on your skin. I have not tested yet how it photographs, however it doesn't promise much due to the spf 20.
The packaging promises a to prime and conceal as well as being a foundation, although it does offer great coverage I wouldn't really say it conceals, and the primer bit hmmm, it does stay on a stay matt but I use a deeper colour foundation to match it with my fake tan and often suffer with a white ring around my lips so it doesn't really stay...


As you can see it is truly beautiful. The only downfall in my eyes is the colour range, all the colours have a pink undertone which took terrible on my skin! Hence why I can see myself going back to revlon colourstay and my bourjois healthy mix when opting for a drugstore foundation as they suit my skin tone a millions times more.

Overall I would encourage you to try this, it hasn't broken me out and offers a beautiful finish for a reasonable price of around £8. I will try and get pictures up ASAP.
