What's in my make-up bag?

I'd though I'd share with you today what i carry in my beloved make-up bag!

I love these sort of posts; not only because I'm nosey but because i like to see what everyone else rates for everyday use and find me some new goodies!

I stay at the bf's from Friday evening until Sunday so my make-up bag is often bulging as i never know what i might need or where we may end up!

Here's what i currently have packed for this weekend:

Bronze make-up bag - Boots - £5

Oilatum Natural Repair Face Cream

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Ivory (currently testing this out, not sure about it yet - its a little too sheer me thinks)

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation - 021 Nude

ELF Make Up Mist & Set

ELF High Definition Powder

17 Shine Control Pressed Powder - Natural

MEMEME Blush Me! - Coral

ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder - Sunkissed

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - 2 Light

Eyelure Ready To Wear Pre-Glued Lashes - 070

Natural Collection eyeshadow (used to fill in eyebrows - so old the colour/name has worn off)

ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame - Light

Blistex Lip Massage

MAC Viva Glam Gaga

Colgate toothpaste (cant use any other brand, yuk!)

Kirby grips

Brushes!

This is just the selection i carry around with me. Oh My! I also have a selection of lipsticks/glosses in my handbag too! LOL!

Writing it all down (and having to photograph it separately to get good shots!) it seems like quite an excessive list, but i obviously don't use all these products in one go! ... It gets me through the weekend plus nights out and gives me options!

I tag - everyone!

I want to nosey around your make-up bags now :)

FOTD: Golden Smokey eyes & Chanel ...

Good evening dolls, how are we all?

Quick FOTD post - i've had a nasty cough all week and today i was actually feeling quite human so to celebrate i decided to do a proper face of make-up :)

I'm obsessed with gold eyeshadow at the moment and have been favouring it with 17's Chalice which is a nice bronzey colour but today i was went for a change and teamed it with charcoal - as seen below...

excuse the messy brows :/

shame i cut off half my eyes :(

Face: Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid Foundation - 021 Nude

Blush: 17's Blusher - First Flush (limited edition)

Eyes: 17's Eye Dazzle - Gold, MaxFactor's Smokey Eye Effect Pen - Onyx Smoke

Mascara: Maybellines Great Lash - Blackest Black & 17's Va Va Voom - Black

Lips: Chanel's Glossimer - 104 (Bubblegum pink colour with golden glitter)

I placed my first ELF order today and treated myself to a whole bunch of new eye make-up brushes (and i sneaked in a couple of lipglosses, oops!) Cant wait to receive it and test them out :)

What are your favourite eyeshadow colours and brands?

Like A Bad Star, I'm Falling Faster Down To Her ... OOTD/EOTD

Evening to all my beauties, whats up?!

Another Outfit/Eyes of the Day post (it's actually from yesterday as i stayed at the bf's last night and i was without camera and decent mirrors to even attempt some nice makeup - plus i was mega sleepy!)

Unfortunately during the week near enough all my outfits are for work - i'd love to wear all my floaty dresses and short shorts but i have to dress semi-smart and professional (so they believe i know what i'm doing ;) ha)

I wore a simple black skirt and added a deep purple snake skin and gold buckle belt to it. As the skirt is quite short (and my fake tan regime hasnt truly begun yet!) i wore black tights and matching little black ballet pumps. I adore my silvery/blue/grey shirt! I picked it up just after Christmas in New Look and the first time i wore it i teamed it with wet look leggings, heels and a blazer - it looks amazing :)

My camera couldnt quite pick up my eyeshadow look as it was fairly sheer ...

Eyes: MUA - Shade 16 Matt (very light, almost white, pink) and 17's Vintage Love Perfect Pastels palette (i chose the goldy mink colour)

Mascara: Maybelline's Great Lash - Blackest Black and 17's Va Va Voom Volume Mascara

Eyeliner: Barry M's Khol pencil

Few pics of something new i'm trying with my hair:

I love the messy boho 'bird's nest' look but i just cant seem to do it right....

What do you guys wear to work?

xoxo

OOTD & FOTD ...

So I had planned to do a FOTD/OOTD post this morning and took some pics in a hurry while getting ready for work, but once i returned home and uploaded the pics the camera devils had been at work and turned the photo's hideous and stupid looking, dontcha just hate that!!? :(

I decided to post them anyway as i wanted to get more of these type of notes on my blog and i fear if i delay doing them in the hope of getting perfect pics then i may never get started! So here goes ...

FOTD:

Foundation: Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid - 021 Nude

Blush: Models Own - Cheeky Pink

Powder: Random one i've had for so long that the branding has worn off

Bronzer: Rimmel Sun Shimmer Bronzing Compact Powder - Medium

Eyeshadow: 17 Eye Dazzle - Good As Gold and 17 Glitter - Chalice

Eyeliner: Maybelline Gel Eyeliner & Barry M's Khol pencil

Mascara: Maybelline Great Lash - Blackest Black and 17's Va Va Voom Volume Mascara - Black

Lips: Avon lipstick - Moonbeam

Excuse the darkness in the pics - that side of my bedroom is mainly black and Cadbury's purple!

OOTD:

This is just a simple work outfit  (didnt want anything too fancy today as i had lots of crawling around and messy jobs to get on with - oh yes, my job screams glamour!)

Black trousers: New Look

Pink belt: Primark

Peach tee: New Look

Floral cardi: Primark

Brown brogues: Primark

Necklace: Primark

I'm still getting to grips with my outfit pics in sucha cramped room so bear with me (i used to be able to take decent pics in my old bedroom about 3 years ago but i had much more space to play with!)

Hit me up with your tips for better pics girlies :)

Weekend: Whats Hot & Whats Not ...

Evening dolls! How are we all? I've had a lovely weekend :) Spent most of it at the bf's; living out of a weekend bag is hard especially when an impromptu night out springs up and you have to concoct a stunning outfit out of a few items!

I also had a bit of a spending spree in Primark using up the last of my birthday monies. I got some fabulous items ready for spring/summer which i'm sure will feature in my blog over the coming weeks....

So thought i'd do a post about what was hot & what was not about my weekend:

Whats Hot!

My new gorgeous Miss Selfridge floral bag

Isn't this divine!? It was one of those moments in the Mall when you're on route to meet someone and you spy an beautiful image out the corner of your eye and stop dead mesmerized by the beauties in the window display! I was a very lucky girl and the bf bought this for me as he still owed me a birthday present :)

Midnight McDonalds

There's fast becoming a tradition between me and my friends where we go for midnight snacks after a night out. Last night we stopped off at McDonalds - normally the ultimate sin but i had been craving MaccyD's for 6 months and it was amazing, totally savoured every mouthful, lol!

Paris necklace

I am obsessed with Paris and necklaces with Eiffel Tower charms. When i spied this little beaut in Primark i immediately dropped it into my basket and for only £2 who could resist!?

Bargains

This faux sheepskin waistcoat was an absolute steal!! On the sale rail at Primark for just ... wait for it! ... £3 !!! Can you believe it!? I'm thinking of teaming it with the new petrol blue maxi dress i just purchased from boohoo.com or black skinny jeans and a peach top.

Spending time with The Bf 

love

Whats Not!

Cold weather

Err why is it soo cold?! It's March so that means Spring.

Not enough space

I totally need a walk-in closet!

Mental drivers

I dislike people that drive insane! I actually feared for my life last night.

No lie-ins or naps :(

So at the weekends i normally have lie-ins and/or naps - this weekend i had neither :( I love to nap!

Maybelline One by One Volume Express Mascara

Picked up this mascara as the advert makes the lashes look amazing (yes, gullible! I totally fell for the advertising) Unfortunately the high hopes i had for this mascara soon faded as soon as the brush touched my lashes ... the brush was hard and scratchy and quite frankly hurt my eyes! The mascara itself separated the lashes well but i cant get over the nasty brush :( shame as i love the Maybelline Falsies mascara.

What were you loving/despising this weekend? How would you wear the sheepskin waistcoat?
