What's in my Make Up Bag

Hi guys!

Recently I got a new make up bag, so I thought it would be a good time to show you what I have in it! Obviously, I don't carry around all of my make up, but I do have a few touch-up products in here. These are mainly my most used products.

First up, the actual make up bag! I have the London Print Large Wash/Make Up bag from Cath Kidston. It cost £15 (there are cheaper ones out there) but it is massive! I can easily fit in loads of stuff. But the main thing that really attracted me was the gorgeous print! It is a lovely navy blue colour with London Landmarks on it- very patriotic! These famous sights include Big Ben, the London Eye and even Buckingham Palace! I am very pleased with it.

See what I mean about the lovely print?!

So that's the bag, but what's in it?

Miss Sporty XX Long Mascara

I've had this long enough for the name to have almost rub off- it's lasted me quite a while! I bought this for no particular reason other than it was a cheap black mascara. I think it was about £3.99, which makes it great value for money! The wand is very thin and slightly angled, which makes it perfect for getting all my lashes. I love it so much, and at that kind of price, I'm glad I got it.

Benefit Most Glamorous Nudes Ever

I briefly reviewed this in a previous post, so I won't go into too much detail. It is basically a palette of 6 neutral eyeshadows (2 cream, 2 powder) but the colours are beautiful! It is a bit overpriced for what you get (there's not much product for the amount of money) but I'm pleased I bought it. At £23.50, I'm not sure if I'll be repurchasing this!

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

I had heard this being raved about by lots of bloggers/youtubers so I thought I'd give it a go. Besides, at about £4, I wasn't risking anything. I do think this concealer is good for the odd blemish, but as I don't wear foundation, I guess I don't get the full effect. I do however, like mixing this with my moisturizer every now and again to create a very light coverage giving tinted moisturizer! (I tip I saw in a video by Beauty Crush)

Again, the label has worn off!

Barry M Kohl Eyeliner

I love this £2 bronzy liner! It's great for touching up my eye make up when I want a bit more definition. It can be used along the lashline, blended into the crease or roughly smudged across the lid as a base.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo

Again, another product briefly reviewed here. I love this creamy eyeshadow (I have it in On and On Bronze) as it is under £5 and can be used in multiple ways; personally I like to blend it into the crease with my ring or little finger, but it can be used across the entire eyelid if time is of the essence.

Vaseline

If I have dry lips, or just want a bit of a glossy finish to my lips, I go to my Vaseline. It's so cheap and affordable, and everyone had a tin lying around somewhere!

Soap & Glory Lip Stick

This lipstick comes in a variety of colours- I have Super Nude, which is (you guessed it!) a nude/peach colour. Admittedly, it is quite drying on the lips and cost £9, which is a bit overpriced for what it is, and therefore I won't be buying it again! I still use it occasionally, but with a bit of Vaseline to soften my lips.

As for brushes, I have a couple of mini ones which are handy for travelling. (I keep my full sized ones at home!) I think they are from Boots own brand but I'm not sure how much they were!

(I also have this cute little Clarins brush that came with a blusher!)

So that's the contents of my make up bag! What are your make up must haves? Let me know if you would like full review on any of these products.
