What's In My Makeup Bag? || Updated

beauty May 23, 2014

So waaaay back when I first started my blog, I did a "What's In My Makeup Bag" (it's terrible, but if you feel like looking, it's here. Don't say I didn't warn you!). I looked back at it the other day, and realised that almost everything in it has changed! Because of that, i've decided to do an updated version. (This is also kind of an "every day makeup" post, but I might do a separate post on that, with photos of me with the makeup on?)

Collection Lasting Perfection Foundation in Shade 2 - Ivory £5.99 (here)

First up is my foundation, and this is actually a new discovery of mine. I absolutely love the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, so when I spotted the matching foundation in Boots, I was quick to snap it up! I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I have to say, I really like it! It gives a nice, even, full coverage, and it's great at hiding redness, which is something that I annoyingly suffer with (along with frequent breakouts, it's terrible, and so frustrating!) It doesn't last really long, but it does last a reasonable amount of time.

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Shade 2 "Cool Medium" £4.19 (here)

And to go with the foundation, it is of course the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. Unless you've been living without the internet then you'll have heard of beauty bloggers and vloggers everywhere raving about this product, so I really don't think I need to say anything about this product other than, it's fab.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in "Transparent"£3.99 (here)

Oh how I wish I had shiny new product to show you, but, sadly, I don't! This powder is seriously amazing, another highly talked about product in the beauty world. The only downside is that the packaging is terrible, and as you can see from the photo, it breaks really easily, just as mine has!

Bourjois Delice de Poudre bronzer in the lightest shade. £7.99 (Here)

I love this bronzer for contouring, and giving my face an all round glowy look. Again, it's a very talked about product, so I won't say too much, except, I like it.

Sleek Face Contour Palette in the lightest shade £6.49 (here)

I also really love the Sleek face contour palette, although as you can see, there is no longer any of the bronzer left, but I am continuing to use the highlighter occasionally. I don't use it every day, but I will use it if my skin is looking particularly dull.

Burts Bees Replenishing Lipbalm in Pomegranate £3.69 (here)

This lipbalm is literally a godsend. It's one of those products that I would be lost without. This lipbalm leaves my lips feeling soooo soft, and it smells amazing, it's just an all round great product, and it goes everywhere with me.

MUA Heaven and Earth Eyeshadow palette £4.00 (here)

Currently, the eye palette i'm using is this one. It's great for every day eye looks, as it's all neutral shades. I don't use eyeshadow every day, because i'm often in a rush, but when I do use it, I just mix a couple of the shades together to create a really subtle smokey eye.

Maybelline Cclour Tattoo in "On and on Bronze" £4.99 (here)

Unlike the previous eye palette, I do use this eye product almost every day. This really is great at priming my eyes, and just giving them a wash of colour. Plus, it lasts all day!

Maybelline Baby Lips lipbalm in "Cherry Me" £2.99 (here)

Now, when I first saw this product, I was quick to try it out, and I could only get the pink one. It smelt okay, but the colour totally put me off, and I said on my blog that I "didn't get the hype" surrounding this. (you can read it here) However, since acquiring the cherry one, i've completely changed my opinion on them! This one leaves my lips really soft, and the subtle red goes really well with my skin tone. This always gets put in my bag in case of quick touch ups, as it just gives your lips a little boost.

Top to bottom: Maybelline Colour Sensational in 852 "Coral Pearl" £6.99 (here),
Rimmel Kate Moss in 19 £5.49 (here),
Rimmel Lasting Finish in 058 "Drop Of Sherry" £4.99 (here) ,
Une Beauty Sheer Lip Balm in S07 £1.99 (here)

In the photo, these lipticks look exactly the same, but they are all totally different once I apply them to my lips! The Maybelline one is a matte browny-nude, while the Kate Moss one is a matte pinky nude, the Rimmel one is a glossy pinky red, and the bottom one is very sheer, and perfect for just boosting the natural colour of my lips.

Beauty UK High Brow All In One Brow Definition Kit £3.99 (here)

This is honestly one of my favourite products. I won't say too much cause I did a full review on this (which you can read here), but it basically makes doing my eyebrows super quick and easy, and this kit is so affordable!

Maybelline Brow Drama "Sculpting Brow mascara" in Dark brown £4.99 (here)

You know those days when your eyebrows just need that extra boost? Well, this product is perfect for this. It's not brilliant, but it keeps my eyebrows in place all day.

Topshop Khol Liner in "Sable" £4.00 (here),
Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in "Nude" £3.99 (here)

When I don't want my eye makeup to be too bold, i'll use this brown Topshop liner in Sable to give me a more neutral look. I also like to line my waterline with the nude, as it isn't as harsh as a white pencil.

Maybelline "The Rocket" Mascara £7.99 (here)

This is probably my favourite mascara ever. I'm sure everyone reading this has heard of it, and heard loads of people rave about it, and honestly, it's brilliant. It just makes my eyes look more awake, and it makes my lashes super long.

Maybelline Waterproof Gel Liner £7.99 (here)

I'm almost finished this little pot, but this is the best gel liner i've used, it honestly does not budge from my eyes ALL day. Definitely a beauty staple for me!

Maybelline Big Eyes Mascara £7.99 (here)

This is only in here because i'm trying it out, and i'll be reviewing it in full soon. But, i'm not too sure about this. It's okay, but I got it for £5.00, when it retails for quite a bit more. I wouldn't pay more than a fiver for it, i'd much rather stick to my The Rocket mascara.

Collection Fast Stroke Liquid Liner £2.99 (here)

For years, and years i've been unable to use liquid liner, but i've always loved how it looks so bold, so when I found this in my makeup collection recently I was determined to get it to work! I'm doing okay, I can draw a line, but don't ask me to do a flick! That's where my gel liner comes in handy!

There's not much to say about these, it's my tweezers and eyelash curlers, they both work well, and they were super cheap.

(l-r) Real Techniques, Eco Tools, Amazon

My brushes! I don't really use a lot of brushes, because the Real Techniques one is fab at doing loads of things! I am quite happy with my set of brushes, and none of them were expensive.

Accessorize Lip Gloss

Last but not least, my Accessorize lip gloss. I really love this, but again, I won't say too much, because I reviewed it a while back. (you can read it here)

Aaaaand, that's what's in my makeup bag! Do you guys have any of the same products in your makeup bags? Let me know!

Thanks for reading, see you soon!

The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger Tag!

beauty August 16, 2013

I really seem to love doing beauty tags, don't I? I saw this one and I decided I would do it, because it looks quite interesting. I found this on this blog here, and I thought I would give it a shot:)

Rules:
1. You must copy and paste these 'rules' onto your post when you write it, it doesn't take long!.
2. You must state that this tag was created by 'The Beau Bow' and link www.thebeaubow.blogspot.com
3. You must thank the person who tagged you at the start of your post (link their blog as well) - follow them if you're feeling nice!, and then at the end of your post state who you tag, and then comment on their blog on their latest post to let them know you tagged them, and link your post so they can see what to do.
4. Title this post 'The Procrastinating Beauty Blogger TAG' so everyone knows what it is about.
5. Have fun!

_____________________________

1. Name a beauty regime that you rarely do?

-It has to be to apply primer. I literally never put it on! I know that it's bad, because primer is better for applying make-up better, and helps it last longer, but really, I never do it. As well as that, I only set my makeup with a powder, not a spray.

2. Is washing your make-up brushes something that you do regularly?

-I would love to be able to say "Oh yes, I do it often!" But I don't. I mean, I wash my foundation one quite a lot, but realistically, with all the brushes I use, i'm not great at washing them, in particular my eye brushes.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

- It has to be off as soon as I realise that it's chipped. As I bite my nails, the majority of the time I have my nails painted, so I feel like i'm constantly painting my nails, because if they are chipped, I have to re do them.

4. How long will you put off buying/replacing a beauty product, even if you need it?

-It really depends on what the product is. I always repurchase concealer, Eyeliner, mascara and foundation straight away, as I use the same of these every day. However, with lip products, or eyeshadows, I don't, because I chop and change what I use all the time.

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

-I already mentioned it in question 3, but I bite my nails! Ah! i have tried everything on earth I swear to try and stop, but I can't! Admittedly, i'm not as bad as I was, but i'm still pretty bad.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off doing all the time?

-*sits thinking about this question for at least five minutes*

It would probably have to be tidying up. I mean, I am organised, but it's an organised mess. It's mostly clothes as well, that I haven't put in the washing, but it can be a variety of things. I'm also really bad at handing things into school, posting letters, or letting someone know if i'm available to do things.

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute?

-If i'm going somewhere nice, where I need to make more of an effort than usual, then i'll leave quite a bit of time, but if i'm going to the shops, or going to school, then I will be so rushed!

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

-I haven't tried, although it might be a good idea. I have random bursts when I spend a lot, but then I don't spend much money for ages, so I guess it balances out, and if I set myself a spending ban, I reckon I could commit to it. Hey, maybe i'll try it!

9. How organised is your make-up and nail polish collections?

- I share a room with my three sisters, so I have no space to have a nice big storage. However, with the (little) storage I have, I would say my stuff was reasonably well organised. Not the greatest collection ever, but definitely not the worst!

Would now be a good time to tell you how you can contact me? (I'll probably be adding a page to my blog with all of these links.) I'm also putting my instagram, if you would like to take a look at that.

Beauty Haul!

beauty August 13, 2013

I was a little bit naughty the past three days... I went to ASDA, Boots, and Superdrug, and came out with quite a lot of beauty products! I spent so much money, oops... I think it was worth it though because they're all things I need. (I tell myself that, but realistically, it isn't true.. i definitely didn't need four nail varnishes and four lip products). So lets show you all what I bought that has made me pennie-less!

I obviously had to repurchase this concealer! I've probably gone through about 20 of them! I got shade number 3 "Medium", because I have a slight tan.

So I was browsing the Barry M stand in Boots, and I spotted this, the "Nail Pain Sequined Effect". I'd never noticed it before (is it new?), and I thought I would see how it turns out, as it looks so pretty in the bottle!

This was on offer in ASDA, to £2, so of course I had to get it. I've actually already worn it, and I actually really disliked it. The colour was nice, but it took FOREVER to dry, and it chipped within the first day.

I have been a fan of gel eyeliner for ages, and i just recently finished my Rimmel Gel Liner, and it was out of stock, so I bought this instead, as it got good reviews!

Like many people on the internet, I have bags under my eyes, and my eyes are often puffy, so I decided I needed a solution. So, lets see if this works?

Everyone raves about this product, but i've been a lover of Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip balm for years. When I spotted this in superdrug, I gave in, and bought it. I haven't used it yet, but I can tell you that it smells divine.

I am still on the hunt for something to fill in my eyebrows! This is the latest in my purchases for eyebrow things. Fingers crossed it does the job!

A new product by Maybelline is the 24hr colour tattoo. I got the shade "On and On Bronze" (because I am not adventurous with my eyes at all. I've used it a few times, and I really like it actually.

My Maybelline "The Falsies" Mascara ran out, so instead of repurchasing it, I thought i'd try something different! The Rocket mascara, also by Maybelline.

These Lipsticks from MUA (shades 7 and 3) were only £1! And Louise from "Sprinkleofglitter" raves about these, as do many other bloggers/youtubers. So I bought two, because you can't go wrong when they're only one pound, can you?

I forgot to add this into my main picture, but I also picked up this nail polish from Model's Own, in the colour "Utopia". It's a really nice dusky pink/brown colour, and I thought it would be quite flattering.

Another Barry M purchase! I've had my eye on this for ages, but I haven't bought it, because I would always convince myself that I wouldn't need it, but I gave in eventually, and here it is, in my nail polish collection, yay!

I love this so much! It's the "COlour Boost Glossy Finish lipstick" by Bourjoois Paris in the colour "01 Red Sunrise". I really like this name actually, but the actual product is brilliant! I can't rave about it enough!

My final purchase, was a Sleek Eyeshadow Pallette (Finally!). This is another thing i've been wantingfor ages, but I thought it was too expensive. I had however never seen this palette before (Au Naturel 601), and when I saw it, I fell in love with the colours. (that sounds so cheesy ha). I'm not very risky with my eyes, I mostly stick to browns and creams, which is pretty much all this consists of, so it's perfect! I've also heard great things about the Sleek palettes.

And that's it! I'm actually really happy with my purchases, and can't wait to try them all, possibly doing some reviews on a few choice products?

So tell me, have you tried any of these products? What did you think of them? I'd love to know!
