It's been a while since I wrote a "What's in my make up bag?" post - so I thought I'd get myself to the laptop and knock up a quick post for you all on what I'm currently using everyday.
If you want to see what was in my first Make up bag post you can do that here.
From looking at that last post, the contents of my day to day make up bag have changed completely since my last post, except for one item I believe.
 |
| Make up bag contents - alot more in here than I originally thought! Face/Base Products |
 |
Left - Right: Real Techniques Complexion Sponge, Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in fair for blemishes and redness (HATE that the writing on the tube rubs off!) Maybelline The Eraser Concealer in Light for under eye area, Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation in 51 Vanille clair.
L-R: Benefit Rockateur blush, which I reviewed here. Sleek blush in Antiqued, MAC Soft and Gentle - click here for swatches, MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural in Light, for days where my skin is good, Maybelline Superstay 24hr powder in Ivory for when I need more coverage and when my skin is extra oily which is pretty much all the time now - stupid winter!

| Sleek Vintage Romance Palette |
Lately I've been using Benefit's Rockateur on my lids, a light sweep of it looks so pretty don't over do it though or you can look like you've been punched in the face!
I always like to have a palette in my make up bag though, and at the moment it's Sleek's Vintage Romance Palette - so pretty and has shades perfect for Christmas! So it's in here so that I'll use it more over the festive season!
Eyeliner/Brows/Mascara/Lips
L-R: Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara, this mascara is now holy grail status for me guys! No7 High Shine gloss in Smile, great for looking pulled together quickly! Catrice brow gel, Rimmel Scandaleyes pencil in Nude for my waterline, I'm looking tired lately and this really brightens my eyes up. Stila smudgestick in Damsel, again holy grail peeps, seriously amazing! MAC fling brow pencil, really into filling in my brows lately and this is so easy to use it's fool proof! Lastly, there's my trusty Urban Decay Primer Potion.
Brushes
I have really only been using these 4 brushes lately, mainly because using the Real Techniques sponge has drastically cut down the amount of brushes I have to use daily. So L-R: Sigma F30 for powder, Sigma F40 for blush, Real Techniques setting brush for highlighting, Sigma E25 for eyeshadow application and blending - best eye brush in the world, really recommend it!
So I really am using a lot more products than I thought I was using, and I really do use everything every day - bar the palette!
I was thinking of making these posts a more regular feature, let me know what you think!
What's in your make up bag right now?
Its amazing how many of the same products we have in our make-up bags! The Sleek Vintage Romance palette has been my staple for a while now and I am in love with the Rokateur blush. The setting brush is also my go to for my Bare Minerals Well Rested concealer. It just makes the base look flawless!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Hope you are enjoying the festive season!

Have you used Rockateur as an eyeshadow Marianna? So easy and pretty used that way! I think i'm going to buy a second setting brush there's so many ways to use it that having another would be really useful! X
