Whats In My [everyday, no-brainer] Makeup Bag..


Make up bag from River Island a few years ago. Theres a plastic coating over the fabric so its easy to wipe off any grubby finger prints.



I dont use everything in this pic everyday, some I never use at all (Collection2000 concealer) but all these products require almost no thought or effort which is why they're in my everyday bag.



Urban Decay Naked Palette
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Laura Geller The Real Deal Concealer (this stuff is hardcore)
Murad Skin Perfecting Primer, Dewy Finish
Technic Natural Lashes (a cheapy clear mascara that I use on my brows, its rubbish and has almost no hold at all)
Virgin Vie Straight & Narrow Liquid Liner (black)
Virgin Vie Black Velvet Liner


MAC MSF Soft & Gentle
Laura Geller Balance -N- Brighten
Laura Geller Blush -N- Brighten in Roseberry


Benefit Brow Zings (dark)
Collection2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (I know I'm the minority but I hate this with a passion)
L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara
YSL Touche Eclat




Max Factor Bewitching Coral (how orange does it look in this pic. On my lips it shows up really pinky, I love it)
Mac Creme Cup



Bellapiere Eyeshadow in Gold & Brown
MAC 187
Clarins Instant Light, Natural Lip Perfector 01
Maybelline Gloss in Cosmic Pink
L'Oreal Brush

I've lost my Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint, Have no clue where I've left it! So I'm having to use up the rest of the samples I had. Bet it shows up in the fridge or some other random place. Anyone else have a habit of putting things in stupid places? Is it just me who puts the kettle in the fridge and milk in the sink?

Desert Island Products 2011.

I'm not going to include everything I loved in 2011, I'm fickle and change products almost weekly so instead I've picked products that I didnt stray from once I started using them.



Moroccan Oil: I've had this bottle on the go for almost 2 years now so yes its expensive but it lasts and lasts. My hair was in rehab throughout 2011, I had absolutely butchered it with bleach in 2010 and without Moroccan Oil I'm a complete frizz-ball!

Tangle Teezer: Never in a million years did I think this lump of plastic would make such a difference, I put off buying it for so long because I honestly didnt think it would live upto all the claims, how wrong was I. Im convinced I would have ripped my hair out by the roots in a fit of knotty rage by now if I hadnt purchased this life saver.


Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo: This is the shampoo & conditioner xmas set but I'm only talking about the shampoo here. I've repurchased this product ALOT, I wasnt sure if I should include it as I dont find it as effective anymore but the whole point of this post was the products I didnt stray from in 2011 and I didnt. If you want to read my full review then click here.



Benefit BrowZings: I've always tried to define my brows with powders and pencils but was never happy with the result. I was always so jealous of girls with perfectly shaped brows and had just about give up my search when I found Browzings. I never over-pluck but my brows stop short and have bald patches because of my overactive thyroid, its a pain in zee ass! For around 2 years now I've been having my brows waxed at the same Benefit Brow Bar and was always amazed at how well the girl shaped and filled them in for me but I was sure it only looked so easy because she was a pro, knowing my luck I'd end up like something from Desperate Scousewives! Anyway, I trotted off to a Benefit counter to have a play around with the brow kit, I'm quite pale but have dark hair so was sure I'd need 'medium' but medium is soooo red. In the end I had to go for dark so if anyone ever decides to buy this, make sure you try the shades out first. It comes in a compact with powder, wax, 2 mini brushes and mini tweezers. I only use the wax which might seem weird but it works for me. Browzings is quite expensive but lasts forever. If any of you know of a similar product let me know so I can check it out.

Urban Decay Naked Palette: So predictable, I know, but this is seriously true love. Me and e/s had gone our seperate ways for a few years untill I gave in and purchased this. The colours are so me, I'll never stray, I'll be faithful to naked forever and ever amen. The same can be said about Primer Potion, I just love when a product does what it claims to do.



Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Top-Coat: As most of you will know by now, I'm a complete nail freak and without a doubt this bad boy is my HG nail product. I still havent gave it a much deserved review but I will.

Philosophy Eternail Grace Perfume: I've been wearing loads of different perfumes but no matter what mood I'm in, where I'm going, what I'm doing - Eternal Grace is my main man. Same can be said for all the Grace scents. Its the type of scent that makes people say 'you smell lovely' rather than 'your perfume smells lovely'.

SBC Aloe Vera Gel: My skin is super sensitive, waxing brings me out in itchy hives and causes redness that lasts all day. Aslong as I slather on this green slime straight after getting waxed then I'm fine. A simple product but still one of my must haves.
