What's in my make up bag?

So I thought I'd jump on the whole 'bloggers bandwagon' with this post purely because these are one of favourite posts to read, and one of my favourite videos to watch.

I don't change my make up look dramatically every day, or even every week... Most of the time it's pretty much the same but I do like to experiment for nights out and things like that. But this is what I generally tend to put on my face on a 'normal day'



I think you'll agree, it's a bit of a mish mash of drugstore and high end, and d'ya know what? I like that! Obviously I don't wear all of these on my face in one go, but I like to have a little bit of choice!

I wont go in to massive detail about these products, because if you want a full review just let me know and I can do that, but I just want to point out a few products which are new to me.

The Urban Decay Naked Smokey palette was a Christmas present from my lovely boyfriend and to be honest, I only wanted it to complete my naked collection. Like the other naked palettes though, it is really amazing and you can create so many looks with it. For a day time look I like to choose a shade and smudge it in to my upper lash line and blend it out.

When I went to London a few weeks ago, I went to Space NK and literally fell in love with the Dolce Vita blush from Nars. If you saw my last post then you'll know how much I love the deep throat blush, but I wanted something a bit deeper for the festive period and Dolce Vita is perfect for that!

Highlighters are fairly new to me. Obviously I've heard of them and tried some out, but I've never worn one religiously. I have oily/combination skin and find they just looked far too OTT on me, but I got a sample of the Benefit Watts Up highlighter a little while ago and I'm super impressed. It leaves a nice sheen on the skin, but nothing too shiny or sparkly. I think this little tube will last me a long time.

The last product I want to talk about is the Blake's red lipstick for L'oreal. For those who don't know, it's basically Blake Livelys red. Until I got this, I was totally loyal to Mac's russian red - it was literally my favourite thing ever. However, this one from L'oreal totally tops the staying power and comfort of russian red. Don't get me wrong, I'll always love that one but for now, I'm sticking with Blake!

What's currently in your make up bag? Anything I should try?!

Love,

    1. It is gorgeous! It's quite plum toned in real life but it's perfect for this season. I think deep throat will always be my favourite though ;) x
