I personally love watching videos on youtube and blogs about what's in your makeup bag, so here is mine :)
These are the brushes I use everyday
ELF powder brush for foundation
MAC 187SE for my cream blush
ELF kabuki brush for powder
This foundation is alright. It's not the best I've used, and it is far from the worst. From bourjois, I much prefer the Healthy Mix one, which I have as well. However, this one is very similar apart from this one makes you more dewy and has slightly less coverage.
I use the Nivea Creme on my nose and T-Zone as I'm very dry skinned there. This works a treat just before applying makeup and you only need a tiny bit which is why I have such a cute mini one!
I LOVE my Benefit Erase Paste, it's an expensive buy, but it's worth it. I bought mine from QVC and it was around £4/5 cheaper than if you buy it from the official Benefit website or if you buy it from a Benefit counter. It's got amazing coverage and the colour match for my skintone is amazing!
For powder, I use the MAC Skin finish natural, it's got great coverage and mattes out my face very nicely, as like I said before, the foundation I'm using at the moment is very dewy.
I'm in love with this topshop cream blush, Nutmeg, so much that I'm tempted to try out more colours in the range although I adore this colour already! I went against the popular favourite of Neon Rose (I think!?) and I'm very glad I did as this compliments my fair skintone very nicely :)
I use a MAC paintpot in Painterly for my eyeshadow base. As I'm at school, I don't wear eyeshadow everyday so I use this to brighten my eyes. It works very nicely. I also have Bare Study (the more popular of the two) which I think is no where near as good as painterly as it just doesn't have the same kind of lasting power.
For mascara I'm currently using the AVON Supershock, it's ok, I will definitely not be repurchasing as it's not a great mascara however it is a cheaper one so that may be why. It does work nicely if you layer it a thousand times but I've found since doing that I've used so much so quickly it's already run out.
However, the AVON supershock gel eyeliner is a different story, it's a gel eyeliner in a pencil form and works amazingly. It has an all day lasting power, works amazingly on the water line and is extremely black.
If i'm doing winged eyeliner, I'm using the extreme felt tip liner by Collection 2000, considering the cheap price, it's a really good buy and lasts a long time.
Recently, I was sorting out my makeup collection and came across this, from Primark. My initial thoughts were to chuck it away however I tried it and it really does work! I'm trying to thicken my eyebrows at the moment so I can reshape them (or at least try) and it's working really well to keep them neat.
Hope you enjoyed! xxx
