What's in my Make Up Bag?

One of the posts I most love to read or videos I most love to watch are 'What's in my Make Up Bag' editions. Both because I like being nosy, but also because I like to see what people trust to use everyday and have tried and tested. So I thought that was what I would do for you today.

Most of the items in my everyday make-up routine I've used for quite a while with only the eye and lip products really switching up between the days. I also have got into the routine of not wearing foundation every day so at the moment don't have one I'm loving!

• Benefit Porefessional Primer - I love this primer, it smooths on so lovely and really helps keep my make up in place throughout the day.
• Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer on 'Warm Medium 3' - This concealer has been a staple in my make up bag for years and I've repurchased it so many times I don't think I'll ever be without it!
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer on 'Soft Beige' - I love this concealer for under my eyes and really love it, it so brightening and moisturizing, great for those dark circles!
• Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot - I used to only use Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, but tried this one and I think I like it just as much!
• Make Up Revolution Baked Bronzer in 'Golden Days' - I picked this up about a month ago and have used it pretty much everyday since, it's gives a lovely glow but is so nice and natural too. 
• Benefit Rockateur Blusher - Possibly my favourite ever blush! I always go back to this one and love how it looks on each skin tone different times of the year. 
• Benefit They're Real Mascara - Another favourite of mine for ages, I've never found a mascara I liked just this much!
• Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Precision Pencil in ' Love is Blonde' - I can spend ages on my brows and love how easy this is to use, the tint is great and pencil really waxy so looks really natural. 
• Soap and Glory Supercat Black Eyeliner - I used a L'Oreal eyeliner for year but tried this one and never looked back. Being a pen, it's so easy to use!
• Soap and Glory Sexy Motherpucker Gloss Stick in 'Nudist' - One of my favourite lip products ever! I have repurchased this so many time and love this colour for everyday wear.
• Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Cherry Me' - As seen in  many of my previous posts, I always carry this and wear it in the morning to both moisturise and give the perfect natural tinted colour.
• Sleek Contour Kit in 'Light' - A great travel item with both a bronzer and contour that are greatly pigmented and blend really well.
• Real Techniques Brushes (Expert Face Brush, Blush Brush, Multitask Brush) - I love these brushes and don't want to ever be without them! They're so soft and easy to wash and really help create a great base for make up!

Do you have any make up bag favourites?

My Recent Drugstore Beauty Haul

One of my favourite things to do when i'm out shopping or want to kill some time is to go and look around the make-up in Boots or Superdrug. I can spend hours going through the aisles looking at all the products old or new again and again. However, this isn't necessarily so good for my bank balance, especially seeing as most of the time there are either some great offers or the offer of '3 for 2 on all make-up' which encourages me to take full advantage!

My recent shop included a mixture of new things (and some old favourites) that I am really excited to try out especially seeing as now it's getting to winter I can't wear so many bright colours anymore and really like the autumnal coloured trend at the moment.

Here's a list of the things I got:

• Maxfactor Colour Elixir Lipstick in 'Burnt Caramel' - I'm absolutely loving this shade as a sort of 'your lips but better' colour which is a slightly darker shade for winter. I haven't stopped wearing it since I bought it!
• Maxfactor Colour Adapting Foundation - I'm never too content with foundations and am always looking for a new one that's perfect. This one so far seems really nice but can be a bit drying at times however I do like the almost moussy consistency it has.

• Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Just like many other beauty bloggers, I absolutely love this concealer. It does a great job in hiding blemishes and is something I can never leave the house without!
• Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - I love this concealer for under my eyes and think that it really brightens up my face and makes me look more awake and fresh, its another thing I can't leave the house without!

• Rimmel Single Eyeshadow in 'Smoky Quartz' - I'm very much a neutrals girl and love anything that either has a satin effect or is matte. This eyeshadow is slightly glittery but I think that the colour is a beautiful neutral shade and the pigmentation is great, I've found it lasts me all day without creasing

• Rimmel Apocalips Lip Laquer - I wasn't so sure I would like these when I first heard about them but now I am well and truly converted! I never leave the house without a lipstick/lipgloss on and think it can completely change an outfit and these are just lovely! The formulation is just right and they aren't too gloopy or drying for your lips. I am definitely going to be purchasing many more colours soon

• Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in 'Metallic Pomegranate' - I am in love with these eyeshadows either as bases or as a quick fix if I don't want to take too long on my eyeshadow, the only thing is I wish there were more colours out in the range!

• L'Oreal Superliner Perfect Slim in 'Black Intense' - I love liquid eyeliner especially when they come in pens. This one has a super thin tip which is great for getting any thickness or shape you want and is one I have used for a while now and will continue to buy!

• Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 'Transparent' - This powder has been a staple in my make up bag for years and I don't think i'll ever stop loving it! It's not expensive at all and is just an amazing powder for the price!

Let me know in the comments any recent products you've bought that you thought were great or just something you think I should try out
