What's In My Everyday Makeup Bag?

 As you can see from the title, this is what I tend to reach for everyday and if I travel, this is all I take with me(plus brushes, of course). In case you're wondering, the bag is from Estee Lauder but I bought it at Cosmo Cosmetics and I assume that it came from a gift set originally but if I find it online I'll be sure to let you know. Let's get down to business lad!

ONE

Too Faced Neutral Eyeshadow Palette- If I could recommend one palette for beginners then I'd suggest this one! It comes with 9 eyeshadows that are absolutely beautiful and if you're new to make up, it comes with little cards that tell you what colours to apply where.

TWO

Riri Hearts MAC Eyeshadow Palette in Her Cocoa- Newest addition to my beautiful little makeup family, love using this for an easy, everyday neutral look.

THREE

Revlon Colourstay Eyeshadow Palette in Attitude-  I don't actually use this as an eyeshadow palette, I simply use the lightest brown for my eyebrows or I mix the light brown with the darker brown colour when I'm going for a more dramatic look. The top two colours of the palette are absolutely crap, terrible pigmentation and they're generally ugly colours.

FOUR

Benefit Blush in Rockateur- Despite the tacky packaging this new addition is gorgeous. It's great if you're into subtle blushes, like me. A soft pink with champagne undertones.

FIVE

NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil in White- This has recently returned to my everyday makeup routine, I forgot how much it opens up the eye if you apply it to the waterline.

SIX

Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep- A newbie, I use it on top of the brown eyeshadow to thicken up my eyebrow hairs.

SEVEN

Ardell Brow Sculpting Gel- LAST ONE, I promise! This is the final step to set the eyebrows to make sure they don't fly around like idiots. It actually used to be clear but has turned brown from the eyebrow powder. GROSS!

EIGHT

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory- There is a reason why this is raved about; it's simply amazing! I like how it's not too thick and easy to blend especially under my little eyes. Definitely makes me look more awake!

NINE

Revlon Photoready 3D Volume Mascara in Blackest Black- I switch up between this and The Falsies, however, I think this mascara gives a more natural look as it doesn't seem to clump at all.

TEN

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer- Definitely part of my holy grail and one of my best kept eyeshadow secrets(not anymore!). It definitely seems to make your eyeshadow stand out more and it stops your eyeshadow from creasing all day.

ELEVEN

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Light- I actually don't wear foundation, I simply wear a BB Cream and this is my all time fave. I tried the Garnier and Rimmel BB Creams but they didn't seem to be anywhere near as good.

TWELVE

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky Beige- Another Raver! It's true, it's possibly the bestest of the best when it comes to powders and it's even more important for me and my dearly loved oily T-Zone.

THIRTEEN

Maybelline Dream Terra Sun Bronzing Powder in Bronze- A nice subtle bronze glow although it smells awfully like soap, still unsure how it makes me feel #emotions!

Massive Drugstore Haircare and Skincare Haul!!!!

Spring Suckers Haul

Let's start off by saying my wallet has been completely abused(don't tell the authorities) and I wouldn't suggest being this excessive with self- indulgence on a regular day-to-day basis. However who doesn't like new things? :) Without further ado, this is what I got sucked into.

Lavender Oroton Beauty Bag

This little beauty simply popped out at me when I walked past. Intrigued, I went over to look at it thinking 'damn, if only I could afford something like this' and to my great surprise it was on sale for $70.  You have no idea how excited I was, it was like christmas came early(on a good year), I simply just had to have it! In my opinion, it's too small for a beauty case and I've decided that I'm going to use it as a wallet or clutch(it really is quite small).

Oroton Key Chain

This is one of those little counter teasers. I already have this keychain but it's in the pink and blue colour and I thought that this colour was more muted and goes with more, plus, my other keychain is looking quite ragged so why not? I'm a girl, what's your excuse? And really, it's hard to pass up stuff on sale. (It was only $25) :)

Sohum Limequat Candle

My candle was almost finished and I went into MYER with the 'try new things' mindset, however, this candle smells so gosh darn diddly ding dong damn good and I had to repurchase it or my nostrils might never forgive me.

Essie Nail Polish in Chinchilly

Thumbs up for building my slowly growing Essie collection!!!!!!

Soap and Glory Flake Away Body Scrub

In need of a body scrub, I went to Soap and Glory after seeing countless great reviews on their products and BOOM right in front of my face was a BABY SIZED body scrub waiting to be nurtured so, of course, me and maternal instincts couldn't refuse. 

Benefit Blush in Rockateur

Despite the ridiculously cheap, garish, floozy packaging, I swatched this in store and WOW it is such a gorgeous colour! A subtle pink with champagne undertones and the perfect amount of shimmer? HELLS YEAH! I'm taking you home, and that is the story of how I got sucked in to yet another product!

What have you just been sucked into buying? Let me know in the comments below :)
