Inside My Makeup Bag

Image
So these are  the things in my make up bag!  When you lay them out it looks like quite a lot and the sad thing is this isn't all of it and the whole lot just wouldn't fit in the photo.  1. Naked 3 - I could not live without this!  2. M&S Autograph Illuminating Under Eye Concealer - I'm so glad I found this product it's so good and not too creamy  3. Maybelline Baby skin - I'm going to compare this to benefits porefessional for a faction of the price. 4. Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel - what can I say it's an eyebrow pencil I'm fairly sure they don't really differ that much from brand to brand. 5 Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - I could talk about this til the cows come home. But I have a full review here if you want to find out more! 6. Elf Duo Fibre Brush - good for blending in foundation but not amazing. 7. Real Technique Brushes - simply brilliant I would even say they are better than some of my mac ones. 8

Batiste Plumping Powder

Hi Everyone! How are we all? Ive been uber busy with Uni work this week and quite frankly I think I deserve a break! I only have 2 weeks to go then I'm done with uni forever (wah!/yay!) On Monday one of my lovely friends came down to visit for the day, we trekked to Brighton and got very wet. But I bought some gems from super drug as its their 50th Birthday and they were having a paaarrrttty (they're weren't  but theres lots of deals on)! Anyway one of the gems I picked up was the Batiste Plumping Powder. The powder is designed to give you big voluminous hair without the need to backcomb. Which is amazing because my hair is so fine and limp it doesn't back comb easily and normally falls out. With this all you need to do is sprinkle the powder on to your hair.  At first it seems a bit daunting sprinkling it over your head as you are not to sure how quickly it'll come out, but I just keep the pot moving while doing so and only a little bit comes out.

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!
