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.
