What's in my bag - geekandchicx

Todays post is a guest post written by the beautiful Chicca from geekandchicx.blogspot.it I hope you enjoy it and make sure to follow her if you do!

 Hey guys, It's Chicca! Some years ago I did a what's in my bag so today I decide to do an updated, more professional and with different things so let's start!




Earphones (1)  I can't go out without them, I always listen music when I'm alone on public transport. 

Wallet (2) I know it's so old and I should change it but anyway, it's always with me, I have cards, money... well all the stuff that you can find in a wallet lol.

Notebook (3) On it I write all my ideas, numbers and stuff. When I have ideas for blog posts I write them in it.

Phone (4) I haven't got too much to say about it but only that I did some weeks ago a What's on my Iphone and if you want you can check it here

Ipod (5) Like how I said before I always listen to music when I go out.

Sunglasses (6) Mine are from Ray-Ban and I bought them some years ago so I don't know if you can still find them in shops, but maybe you can on the internet.

Charger (7) I should buy a portable one but for now I use this, obviously I can't charge the phone when I'm on the street, but when I go to school or to my friends house I can :)

This is my new post! 
I hope you like it and remember to

NAKED 1

Ok, this is not a drill. I finally took the plunge. After careful deliberation, various discussions with the lovely ladies at the Urban Decay counter and with my beauty loving friends, I went for it I bought the Urban Decay Naked 1 Palette! So I thought, why not share the photos of it, so we can all bask in its glory because that is basically what the beauty blogger community do on twitter everyday.





(top to bottom) VIRGIN is a very light beige with cool shimmer, SIN is a champagne shimmer, NAKED is a matte beige, SIDECAR is a light brown shimmer with silver glitter, BUCK is a medium matte brown.HALF BAKED is a warm dark gold, SMOG is a medium brown with gold shimmer, DARKHORSE is a dark brown with gold shimmer, TOASTED is a deep rosy pink with silver shimmer. HUSTLE is a deep purple-brown with shimmer, CREEP is a black with blue shimmer, GUNMETAL is a super cool blue black colour.



Without a doubt I will be posting more of this absolute beauty on this blog. All the shades are absolutely beautiful and of the highest quality I have ever tried, what more could you expect from Urban Decay? Do you have a Naked Palette? If you were to buy one, which one would you buy?

My Daily Makeup Routine


As you may or may not know, I am extremely lazy. Especially in the winter months, if it's dark in the morning i'm 100% less motivated for the day. So, I definitely do not want to be rummaging around my makeup storage trying to find my concealer at 7:30am. I'd much rather have everything I need in one easy access place, my makeup bag. Today I thought I would share the contents of my makeup bag with you, these products are the ones I reach for every day- so I guess you could call this my everyday makeup routine too.


Foundation- I absolutely love the healthy mix serum from Bourjois. I do not use this everyday, but
I would say that it makes the skin look lovely and even,the coverage is light or medium. I have dry skin and it does not cling to any dry patches, because that is not a good look, I can assure you.

Concealer- I really don't see the hype over the Lasting perfection concealer from collection, I find it quite drying and unforgiving - under the eyes i find it sinks into any fine lines. However, I absolutely love the Collection illuminating touch concealer. I have a lot of tiredness to cover up, especially at 7am and this concealer covers it well.

Brow kit - I wrote a post about this brow kit a few months ago (here) So have a read of that if you want a more in depth review. But long story short, I love it- It gives me eyebrows and stops me legitimately resembling a potato. I use the middle shade mostly (and have hit pan which excites me greatly).

Mascara- Three words; Roller freaking lash- the best mascara I have ever tried. Like ever. It makes your lashes look beyoootiful, lasts all day without transferring down into the panda eye region and removes easily at the end of the day. I will be purchasing the full size indefinitely.

Eyeliner- Most days, I like to flick out my eyeliner using this eyeliner it is super cheap, super black and super easy to manoeuvre. What more could you possibly ask of an eyeliner.

Naked basics - This eyeshadow palette is perfect, I love the formula and the way the matte eyeshadows look. The shade range is perfect and the slim packaging means it is ideal for travel. The next on my hitlist is definitely Naked 1.

Hoola- I got this bronzer in a small size for christmas and I love it so so so much. It is perfect for warming up the complexion, sculpting and just making your makeup look better. It blends flawlessly and uurrrrrrgh can you tell I love it?

Rockateur- I don't generally wear blusher from day to day, but when I do - it is always benefits rockateur. I love the natural, warm glow it gives to the cheeks.

High beam- I got a mini of High beam in the same set as Hoola, and I absolutely love this too. It gives such a lovely glow that blends seamlessly and ugh I love this too. Benefit's cheeks products are absolutely killing it for me at the moment.

Gimme brow- at the end of my makeup I set my eyebrows using Gimme Brow , when you're not gifted in the brow department like me, You'll take any precautions necessary if it means your brows wont go AWOL half way through the day.


And thats it, the products I more or less use every day. Comment below or tweet me letting me know your makeup bag staples! Thank you all so much for reading my blog, I appreciate every one of you so so much.
