What is in my Make Up Bag - January 2015

My Make Up Bag

I am in my boyfriend's house today and had not planned a blog post or taken any pictures for a post I could work on. I was feeling sorry for myself when I thought - wait this is the perfect opportunity to to a blog on my make up bag!  

I travel to and fro between my house and my boyfriend's house and, although I have a drawer with some bits and bobs, I always tend to bring my make up bag forward and back with me. 

My brushes

I bring the things I need to do my make up for whatever occasion. This is my new make up bag which was a gift from my boyfriend's sister for my birthday and I am obsessed with it (if you have read by liebster post I'm sure you already know this)! 

Tonight we are having a few friends around for a board games night so its nice and casual.

I have a few of my brushes with me- My 35N Make Up Forever foundation brush and my Real Techniques buffing brush, contour brush and deluxe crease brush. These would be the brushes I use the most. 

My foundations and concealer

My favourite Rimmel Match Perfection foundation (here's my review of it)  has just run out so I am now using Oriflame Studio Artist Foundation which my good friend gave me. I love this foundation and it smells amazing which is a plus. I use the Sleek Bare Skin Foundation in Praline for contouring and find that it works very well with the Oriflame foundation. Finally I have my old reliable concealer - Rimmel Match Perfection in Ivory ( also reviewed here ).

My powders

I have a few different powders. Firstly my Sleek Face Contour Kit in Light. It has to be the most useful palette ! I use it everyday for contouring. I have my new Primark P.S. Love... bronzer which I am testing out at the moment and my Natural Collection Pressed Powder for setting my make up. 

Eye Make up

I have my Sleek Brow Kit in Dark which is my favourite brow kit at the moment, my favourite Sleek eye palette i-Divine Oh So Special 658, Collection Intense Colour Kohl Pencil and Rimmel The Max Volume Mascara. 

Seventeen and Collection

Finally I have my two favourite lipsticks at the moment! Seventeen Stay Pout -Going Steady and Collection Gothic Glam- Seduction (reviewed here). 

And that is the extent of my make up bag! What is in your make up bag? I would love to hear from you.

I will be doing reviews and swatches of these products soon so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!


I'm off to start playing the board games!  Enjoy your night :)

H&M Lipstick - Darling Pink 

H&M Darling Pink

I love H&M lipstick and have already reviewed Fiji Fling in my Rosy Lips post. 

H&M Darling Pink 

This lipstick is a nice coral pink colour and I am looking forward for spring to arrive so I can start wearing this lovely lively shade !

H&M Glitter Eyeliner

Now I have to admit there is very little glitter in this eye liner for a 'glitter eyeliner' but it works to my advantage as I prefer a more subtle shimmer to large amounts of glitter.

Solid Black and Frost Grey Pencil Eyeliner

Solid Black and Frost Grey eyeliner

I always need new eyeliners and so decided to pick up a grey and a black eyeliner to try out.

The pencil eyeliners are nice and soft to use and smudge well which would be the two main things I look for in an eyeliner! 

H&M Nail Polish - Malin's Mirage 

Malin's Mirage 

I decided to pink up a pink nail varnish as I am running low on pink at the moment. I

 like the applicator brush on this nail varnish and there is also a ball bearing inside the bottle which is great to help prevent the nail varnish separating or drying out.

Cracked Nail Varnish

I bought a similar product a few years ago and loved it so was thrilled to see this in H&M today.

I love the texture this nail varnish creates! 

That ends my mini shopping spree in H&M !
