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!

  1. Great post! Would you consider doing one on your make up brushes? I've been considering a few options about which to invest in but don't want to rush my decision because getting a full new collection will be a bit pricy…you know what shit is like here in Australia -_- Bane of my existence haha. Thanks for the effort you put in to the post xx

    1. Hey Lucy!
      I can definitely do a post on my makeup brushes collection. I completely agree with you about Australia, everything is so expensive(but then again so worth it!)
