Strobing

Strobing has definitely been the obsession of 2016. Having a good highlight is now one of the most important parts of make up. I love highlighters as they are such a pretty and easy touch to add to your make up routine. I have a large and ever growing collection of highlighters and strobe creams but today I decided to mess around with some of my MAC pigments and see what colours and glow I could create. It was so much fun!

I used MAC Strobe cream, this stuff is amazing! I normally put it on under my foundation on my cheek bones or I use it if I'm not wearing any other make up to just add a bit of glow. I always get this free at MAC every time I buy something so I have about 15 little pots of it so there is no need to actually buy big tube of it! I mixed my two fabourite MAC pigments, Tan and Blue Brown, with the strobe cream and OMG it made the most amazing shimmery colours! I then started to add some of Amber Lights and Mythology. I made a orangey gold shade, rose gold and a more pink/purple toned rose gold. 

I tested it out on a bare face and the glow was amazing! I am going to start doing this more often as it is really fun and easy to do, and it looks amazing. I felt like I had sort of made my own make up! I did this while I was at T in the park as you can pretty much get away with as much over the top highlight as you want there so I went a bit crazy and also added some glitter! 

You can do this with any shimmery eyeshadow or pigment. I just took a little spatula and scraped a tiny bit on the eyeshadow out of the pan. You only need a tiny amount, so don't feel like you are wasting product.

MAC Blue Brown Pigment

If you read my posts you will know how obsessed I am with MAC pigments, I think they look amazing and they also seem to last forever! I recently picked up Blue Brown which I have quickly grown to love.

When you look at the pot it changes colour when you look at it from different angles! It is so shimmery, just like all the MAC pigments, and looks so amazing when applied.

For this look I used:

MAC - Blue Brown pigment

MAC - Red Brick

MAC - Swiss Chocolate

ABH - Hot Chocolate

Makeup Geek - Bitten

ABH - Glow Kit Gleam

Urban Decay - 24/7 liquid liner

MAC - False Lashes Mascara

You'll have to excuse my eyebrows in this photo, I scraped out the last bit of my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow and tried to make it look okay even though it had dried up and it didn't really work, but never mind! I decided to use brown shades and also a dark red to go with this pigment and I really like how it turned out. I have got a bit bored with how I've been doing my eye make up lately as I always just stick to neutral colours, so thats why I have been wearing more pinks and oranges, and now I'm obsessed with this Blue Brown pigment.

For my face make up I used Make Up Forever HD foundation, ABH Cream Contour kit, Benefit's Hoola Bronzer, MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW20 and Benefit's Rockateur Blush. On my lips I have used Charlotte Tilbury's lipcheat in Iconic Nude, which is now the smallest pencil you will ever see but I am determined to make it last, as it is my favourite lip liner ever! I also have used Whirl lipstick by MAC. I original tried to use Charlotte Tilbury's lipstick Glastonberry but it was too much as the I didn't want to take any attention away from the eye make up.

I have been doing this eyeshadow look so much since and I think it may be a new favourite, I hope you like it as much as I do!

Rose Gold Eye using MakeUp Geek & MAC

I recently purchased some MakeUp Geek eyeshadows and I tried out 2 of the shades when doing this rose gold, cranberry smudged out eye make up for Amelia. 

MAC - Mythology

MAC - Tan pigment

MAC - Amber Lights

MakeUp Geek - Bitten

MakeUp Geek - Roulette 

Anastasia Beverly Hills - Hot Chocolate

To create this look I applied Bitten, which is a lovely deep red cranberry shade, through the crease and outer corner of the eye. I then added a tiny bit of ABH Hot Chocolate right in the outer corner. Next I used MAC's Tan pigment in the inner corner of the eye and blended that with Mythology and Amber Lights through the middle of the lid. I then used MakeUp Geek's Roulette also on the centre of the lid and further towards the outer corner. Roulette is a gorgeous metallic, medium/dark copper shade with hints of pink and red which create a rose gold effect. I really love how the shimmery eyeshadows blended together. I then applied Mythology along he bottom lash line and a small amount of Bitten on the outer corner and blended it with the shadows on the lid. I am obsessed with pinks and rose golds at the moment that is why I love mixing all these shades together! I have been doing this eyeshadow look constantly over the past few weeks!

MAC haul

I had a trip to MAC on Tuesday and it was the best MAC experience I have ever had. My friend and I went up to Newcastle very early and managed to get there for 9am. Eldon square was completely empty, and so was the MAC counter in Fenwicks. We had the whole counter and all the staff to ourselves. It was such a change from it being packed with girls running around for lipsticks and a queue backing onto the other make up counters. The woman sat us down and Zoe got a her whole make up done while I had a wander round testing out things that have been on my list for a while.

The first thing I was desperate to get was the matte lipstick WHIRL. The last 4 times I have been to MAC it has been out of stock. As soon as the woman came to offer her help I asked if they finally had it in stock and I was so happy to hear that I was in luck! The women let me try the lipstick on and I loved it. Whirl is a muted rose nude shade. My nude lip obsession is getting a little out of hand... I have about every shade that is similar to Whirl! Velvet Teddy, Persistence, Taupe, Brave and I love them all.

This brings me on to my next purchase which was the Mineralize Rich lipstick in the shade PURE POUT. It is so velvety and feels amazingly soft on your lips. The colour is a cool beige nude.  I decided to try a Mineralize Rich lipstick as my lips are so dry at the moment and sometimes the matte lipsticks dry them out even more. The Mineralize lipsticks are so moisturizing and nourishing.

The eyeshadow pan Amber Lights caught my eye straight away. It is a a light brown shimmer with a peachy tone. I have used it already and it is SO pigmented. 

The next thing I picked up was a bottle of Fix+. I have only used it a few times but so far I am impressed! I have previously used the Urban Decay setting spray so I am trying to compare the two. At the moment I feel that they are both equally as good for making sure your make up stays put. I have used Fix+ on my brush before applying my eye shadow, this worked so well with Amber Lights and the lose pigment in the shade Tan. They glided on so smoothly and were even more pigmented and shimmery. I also sprayed it on my Nanshy beauty sponge before applying my foundation and also before blending my cream contour. It worked really well when blending out the ABH cream contour, it made them a lot easier to blend and much smoother. I then finally sprayed it all over my face when my make up was finished. My make up lasted pretty well on a night out so I was happy!

Autumn Make Up

September is the month where I count down the days until my birthday. So summer ending isn't too painful. Autumn is my favourite season when it comes to make up/beauty as it's the time for dark eyes, cranberry shades, stocking up on bath bombs from Lush and yes, I am guilty of lighting my first christmas candle already. Anyway, heres my first make up look of Autumn...

Face

Foundation - MAC Studio Fix NW25

Concealer - Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer - Custard and MAC Pro Longwear Concealer -NC25

Bronzer - Benefit Hoola

Contour - Sleek Face Contour kit (the darker shade)

Blush - Nars Sex Fantasy

Highlight - Guerlain Meteorites light-revealing pearls of powder

Powder - MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Medium dark
Lips - MAC Taupe lipstick, MAC Mahogany lipliner

As I was going out I wanted a base that would obviously last all night without going patchy or shiny so I stuck with MAC products. I used the last of my Studio Fix foundation (I really need to buy a new bottle) and then set it with the MSF pressed powder, I have found that this combination works really well for my quite oily skin so I have been using it for the past few months. To contour I highlighted under my eyes in upside down triangle shapes, down my nose, on my chin and a across my forehead with the Pro longwear concealer, then blended it using a Beauty Blender. I then used the dark shade from the Sleek contour kit (an oldie but a goodie) on my cheek bones, jaw and the top of my forehead. I did this with the Nanshy Blush and Bronze brush then blended it out.

I used the Guerlian pearls of powder to highlight my cheek bones and I forgot how much I love this product. The packaging is so pretty and inside are little pearl like balls that smell of palma violets! Quite an expensive buy but everything about it is just too pretty. It shimmers when your cheek bones catch the light and it looks so radiant.

Eyes

Brows - ABH Dip Brow Pomade - Medium Brown

Eyeshadows - MAC: Mythology (shimmery copper), Tan pigment (rose gold), Swiss Chocolate (hazel brown), Embark (dark brown with red undertones)

Vice 3 palette: Sonic (shimmery cranberry)

Eyeliner - Benefit They're Real Liner

Waterline - Estee Lauder Pure Colour Intense Kajal eyeliner

Lashes - Red Cherry Whispies

Mascarra - Urban Decay Perversion

Using a MAC 217 brush I blended the shade Swiss Chocolate into my crease and brought it half way across my lid and used this as my transition shade. I then applied the shade Embark into the crease and focused it into the outer corner. Then using my index finder I applied the Tan pigment on the inner half of my eyelid, starting at the inner corner. I made sure I kept packing the pigment on and making the colour really intense. I then blended this out along my crease. Next I used Mythology (which is the eyeshadow that so many people have asked me about and I could never remember the name!) on the outer part of my lid and blended it together with Tan. Finally I applied the shade Sonic, which is probably my favourite eyeshadow ever, into my crease and all the way along to the inner corner and blended it. I focused it mainly in the outer corner on top of Embark.

I decided to just go with a thin line of eyeliner instead of a wing as I wanted the eyeshadow and the lashes to be the main focus. I am obsessed with the Red Cherry Lashes, especially the Whispies! They are so much easier to apply than the Eylure lashes and they are cheaper too, definitely a win win.

As usual I'm using the ABH Dip Brow, I really like how it looks when it is on and you can basically do anything with your brows. However the only negative point I would say about the product is that it dries out really quickly! At first when I got it, it was so smooth in the pot and easy to just get a small amount on your brush. But now it is dry and clumpy, which makes it quite difficult to only get a tiny bit on your brush at a time. If you put too much on your brush when applying it then you will look like you've gone over your eyebrow with a marker pen. I can still manage to use it, it is just slightly more difficult when it dries up. I might try the Brow Wiz or the Powder duo next.

I am so happy with how this turned out in the end! One of my favourite make up looks so far. Although I think it is time to bring out the dark plum lipsticks now that it is autumn!

Summer Make Up Favourites

There is only one more week of summer left and I am having serious holiday/festival blues being back in the north east. There has been a few products that I have been using religiously this summer that I want to write about...

Benefit Hoola

Over the summer I have gone back to my Hoola bronzer after neglecting it for a while and I now remember why I was so obsessed with it to start with. Hoola is a matte bronzing powder that is so simple and easy to use for contouring or just adding a bit of a tan to your face. It is one of Benefit's many box powders, which I love. I have hit pan on mine so as I am writing this I paused to add it back onto my make up shopping list. I LOVE it, you just can't go wrong.

MAC Mineralize Skin finish - Medium/dark
When I was on holiday I got a tan which meant I could no longer use my foundation as it was too light for my skin. I looked like I had a tanned body and a white face, which is NEVER a good look. I began just using my MSF powder, which I normally just use as a bronzer, all over my face and I really liked how it made my skin look. It prevented my skin from getting really oily and looked so natural.

Benefit High Beam

Now who doesn't love a good highlight? Especially in the summer. High beam is my favourite highlighter all year round really, not just in summer. It is so easy to apply and once blended in it gives the most gorgeous shimmer when the light hits it. I use my Nanshy angled air brush to blend it in to my cheek bones and a little under my brows.  

ABH Dipbrow Pomade - Medium brown
Dipbrow pomade by ABH is my obsession when it comes to eyebrows. It is waterproof which is always a good quality when you're abroad as it doesn't smudge when you go in the pool or sweat, meaning you don't have half an eyebrow sliding down your face by lunch time. I have really thick eyebrows anyway so I don't need to use a lot of it, therefore I use it to shape them and add some definition. It is great for extending the end of your brows and defining the arch. Also it is a life saver for filling in any sparse areas. I apply it with the Benefit angled liner brush and then use the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in the shade ivory to highlight under the eyebrow.

MAC Lipsticks - Taupe and Velvet Teddy

I think every MAC lover has discovered Velvet Teady this summer and I understand why it is so hyped up. I really like these lipsticks as they are both matte finishes and both go with any make up look. These literally are the only lipsticks I have worn while I have been on holiday and at V festival, ahhh I just love them. I have nearly ran out of Taupe so definitely need to repurchase it!

MAC Lip Combo

Hello everyone, yet again I am guilty of another MAC lipstick purchase. 

Last week I was at the MAC counter with my dad and managed to elbow my way through to the lipsticks, as it always seems to be the busiest part or the store.

I picked up the lipstick Paramount and the lip liner Mahogany, the perfect pair.

I didn't realize that my nail varnish matched the lipstick until writing this post!

This lipstick colour is so gorgeous, a very dark red almost brown. It is a satin finish and is very long lasting and soft on the lips. I often like to wear the lip liner by itself and just fill in my whole lips with it. The MAC lip liners are by far the best I've tried!

What is your favourite MAC lip combo?

Summer Going Out Make Up

HAPPY JUNE! It is officially the first day of summer and I have another make up post today. It is a long one so get comfy. As it is summer I thought I would try a lighter and sparkly eyeshadow combo and also review a few products that I have been loving lately. Here is how it turned out!

                           

Foundation - MAC Studio Fix NW25

Concealer - Urban Decay Naked Skin in Light Warm and NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla

Brows - Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Medium Brown

Eye Primer - Urban Decay original eye shadow base
Eye shadows - Naked palette, Vice 3 pallete, MAC pigment Tan, MAC paint pot Frozen Violet

Bronzer - Estee Lauder Terre Saharienne

Blush - Nars - Sex Fantasy 

Highlight - Benefit High Beam

Lipstick - MAC Paramount 

Lip Liner - MAC Mahogany
Lashes - Eylure 118
Setting Spray - Urban Decay De-Slick

• I am extremely happy with how the eyes turned out. Firstly I primed my lids with the eye primer from Urban Decay which really does make a huge difference to eyeshadow; it stays on so much longer without creasing and also shows up much more. 
• Firstly I took the MAC paint pot in the colour Frozen Violet and blended this into the crease and outer corner of my eye.
• I then applied the shade Naked from the Naked palette in the crease and outer corner of my lid as the transition shade. 
• Dipping into the Vice 3 palette next, I used the white shimmery shade, Bobby Dazzle on the inner corner of my eyes and just lightly underneath my brow bone.
• Again from the Vice 3 palette I applied the shimmery rose gold shade, Last Sin (one of my personal favourites) all over my lid.
• I then wet my brush lightly and dipped it into the MAC pigment, Tan. I packed this onto the middle of my lid and it created the most beautiful sparkly effect. I am a big fan of the MAC pigments.
• I took the shade Sonic from Vice 3, which is a rusty pink colour and applied this lightly to the outer corners of my eye and blended it into my crease about half way of my lid.
• Then to add definition I took the grey/purple shimmery shade, Angel from Vice 3 and applied this to the lower outer corner and blended.
• On my lower lash line I finished off with the shade Buck from the Naked palette and lightly blended it from the outer corner, half way in.
• I then used Benefits They're Real Liner (shock) for the cat eye effect.
• Added some fluttery lashes and then I was good to go!

I am now obsessed with ABH Dip Brow Pomade, if you have not tried it yet then I stress that you give it a go. I wasn't too sure which shade I would be as I have quite dark brows but my hair is ombre blonde on the ends, so I went for Medium Brown and it was a pretty good match considering I did the colour match online!

I have rekindled my love for MAC Studio Fix foundation. When a first purchased it I was in a rush to catch a train back from York and the MAC counter, as always, was extremely busy. I ended up picking a shade that was slightly too dark for me so I can only wear it when I have fake tan on. But as it is now summer, I am hoping (fingers crossed) to get a tan when I go to spain and I wear fake tan a lot anyway. I only apply one small pump as it is so thick and I don't think you need more than one layer. Especially if you are like me and have oily skin; I have found if you layer it too much then there is just more make up to slide about your face throughout the day and it is more noticeable.

I found myself at the Urban Decay counter yet again last week and picked up another bottle of the setting spray De-Slick, which is a life saver if you have oily skin! Also I decided to try the Naked Skin concealer as it has so many good reviews. If you are a regular reader of mine you will know that I am obsessed with the Nars creamy concealer (onto the 4th tube now) so this was a huge step for me. However, I am very impressed with it! It is lightweight and it feels like you have nothing on. I often pair it with my Nars concealer under my eyes and it is like a match made in under eye circle heaven!!

I only have 8 more exams to go so I will be back to blogging full time soon!

My MAC Lipstick Collection

I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I would be uploading a MAC lipstick collection. Off I went searching around my draws and handbags to make sure I included them all. So here it is!

Lets start with the reds...

(from left to right)

Ruby Woo - My favourite red lipstick of all time. Well, probably my favourite lipstick of all time as I seem to have 3 of them!

Russian Red - Very similar to Ruby Woo, just not as bright and a lot deeper toned.

Damn Glamorous - A bright electric pinky red, creates a very bold lip.

Vicoriana - This is from the collection Toledo. Again another pinky red.

Chili - I love this shade, as you can see I only have a tiny bit left. This is a brown/orange red.

Ruby Woo

Ruby Woo

Now for the pinks...

Lovelorn - I am not a huge fan of this colour as it doesn't really suit me so I gave it to my mam.

Lustering - This was my second MAC lipstick, I was about 13. It is a vibrant pink.

Sweetie - One of my most worn shades on a daily basis, it has a frost finish which gives it a shimmer.

 Bombshell - My first ever MAC product, this is what started the obsession. I don't think I have worn it since I was 13, but I loved it!

See Sheer - A pretty grapefruit pink.

Brave - Definitely one of my favourite shades ever. A beautiful pink beige shade, I definitely recommend this one!

Myth - A nice neutral, light nude.

The plums and berry shades...

Diva - Another favourite! Deep berry shades have definitely grown on me this year and this shade is just perfect.

Rebel - A purple plum shade.

Dubonnet - I couldn't decide if this was a red or a plum, so its in between.

Partyline - Another red-toned plum with a slight shimmer.

Media - A very dark red purple, I love this one.

Polished up - Another one of my most used lipsticks. The perfect casual brown red colour.

Fetish - A light brown with a shimmer.

I hope you enjoyed this post. It took longer than anticipated as most of the labels had rubbed off so I had to match up the shades from the MAC website! I really need to invest in a lipstick stand for my dressing table to store them all, so if anyone has any recommendations please let me know in the comments. 

What is your favourite MAC lipstick?

My week in photos

This week was half term and I could not be happier to have a break from school! So heres some photos of what I have been up to this week and a few new buys I have picked up.

First it was valentines day! My Mam and Dad surprised me with a beautiful pair of pandora earrings. They are little hearts with crystals in, so cute! My boyfriend took me for a meal in Durham and this was the make up look I went for. Chanel's Pirate lipstick was the perfect red for valentines day. I went for a glowing base; Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer and concealed with Rimmel's Wake me up concealer (a new favourite of mine). I used Benefit's High Beam for a highlighted shimmer and Hoola bronzer to contour. On my eyes I used my trusty Naked palette, Benefits They're Real liner and the matching They're Real mascara.

I was sorting through my lipsticks and rediscovered some MAC lipsticks that were at the back of the draw feeling a bit unloved. I am going to do a MAC lipstick collection post very soon!

I have not had these boots (Michael Kors) and this coat (French Connection) off this week!

Pancake day! I was pretty proud of these, not going to lie!










This has been the make up look that I have been loving this week. Nice and simple.
Nars Sheer Glow foundation
Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer
Sleek bronzer
Benefit High Beam
Naked Palette - Shades Naked, Buck and Sidecar
Benefit Bad Gal lash mascara
Mac Polished Up lipstick

I went on a trip by myself to Newcastle on Thursday. I had a shopping pit stop at Cafe Nero, I recommend the raspberry and white chocolate muffins. mmm.

My outfit of the day
Coat - French Connection
Scarf - River Island
Top - Urban Outfitters
Shorts - Topshop
Tights - M&S

 

I got my make up done at Nars in John Lewis, the woman was so friendly and helpful. Learnt a lot of new things and put a lot of products on my to buy list! I tried both the Sheer Glow foundation and the new All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. I think I still prefer Sheer Glow as it is more radiant and isn't as full coverage. However my shade in Sheer Glow is out of stock everywhere so I couldn't get my hands on it! However I got a few sample sizes of it and also some samples of All Day Luminous to see if I change my mind. I also picked up the eye shadow in the shade Mekong, it is the most gorgeous shimmery brown that looks so lovely in the crease and the lower lash line. I love the packaging of Nars eyeshadows, so cute!

I had a little venture into Jo Malone and picked up a candle in the scent Pomegranate Noir and a cologne in Nectarine Blossom and Honey, along with a few samples. I will be doing a more in depth post about these products!

Thanks for stopping by!

January Party Make Up + Outfit!

Saturday was my Dad's birthday party so I thought it would be appropriate to do a party make up look and outfit, enjoy!

Eyes

I went for a gold shimmery eye shadow look using a mixture of shades from my Naked, Naked 2 and Vice 3 palette! When I am doing my eye make up I like to set the 3 palettes out in front of me and just dip in and out of each one and mix the shades together. I then did my winged eyeliner with Benefit's They're Real liner. I also used Tanya Burr Individual lashes in this look, I am obsessed with them! I love them so much more than full false lashes, they look so much more natural and you can create your own desired look. However I must warn you, this takes time, patience and a steady hand! I then went over the lashes with Benefit's Bad Gal Lash mascara to bind my natural lashes and the false ones together. 

Shades I used
Naked: sidecar, buck, smog, darkhorse
Naked 2: half baked, chopper, YDK
Vice 3: bobby dazzle, sonic, lucky, last sin

Face

I primed my face with Smashbox's Photofinish primer, which is perfect if you are at a party and need to keep your make up on all night. 

I used Nars Sheer Glow foundation which I am testing out at the moment and I am really growing to like it, it is not too think and looks very natural and glowing. 

I then used Nars Laguna bronzer, Nars Final Cut blush from the Virtual Cheek Domination palette which is my best friend at the moment! 

For highlight I used Benefit's High Beam which I wrote about in my last post, it is amazing!

 For concealer, to no ones surprise, I used Nars creamy concealer in the shade vanilla. Hands down, best concealer EVER. Can you tell I am having a bit of a Nars phase at the moment? I feel like I may do a Nars one brand make up look soon possibly?

Lips

On my lips I have my new favourite lipstick, Diva, by MAC. It is a matte finish so it has good staying power and I just love deep red lipstick, ahhhh. 

For my outfit I wore my sparkly All Saints dress that I got from my parents for christmas. This dress is just stunning and I am definitely one for sparkles! It is called the Lyle Tee Dress and you can check it out by clicking here! My shoes are from Kurt Geiger and are called Glance, they are black suede and have an luminous yellow sole which I think looks quite cool. I have definitely had my wear out of these heels already. You can purchase the shoes here and they are also on ASOS.

Heres a dress close up!

That is everything! I hope you enjoyed this post, I want to do more posts like this with different looks so let me know if you liked it. Another post will be coming mid week as I have recently joined the blogger relations programe for Nanshy make up tools after they kindly wanted me to be an affiliate, which is very exciting! I will be reviewing the 

Gobsmack Glamorous Onyx Black Face Makeup Brush Set, here is my referral link to view and purchase the set! http://nanshy.com/product/gobsmack-glamorous-onyx-black/?ref=68

What's in my bag

Hello everyone! 

Sorry I haven't been able to post in a while, if you follow me on twitter you may know that I have had exams at school so have been overloaded with revision. But I found some time to write this post today. So here is the what's in my bag tag, here is what was in my bag when I went shopping the other week. I wanted to do this post because I love watching and reading other peoples what's in my bag posts. Hope you enjoy it!

My bag is from Michael Kors and I just love it so much. It is so big and has lots of compartments and side pockets! 

Lets start with the essentials. I ALWAYS lose my house key so I have a really cool owl head on it which is from Paper chase to try stop me losing it. I also always keep a hair bobble or two in my bag, as I always forget to put one on my wrist when I leave the house. I carry my little compact mirror from Ted Baker, it is so pretty, I love rose gold! I always have some sort of perfume or body spray in there, today it is Michael Kors Sexy Amber, this is new to me and I am loving it! This must be like my sixth bottle of Soap & Glory's Hand Food, I go through so much of this stuff.

Next is my purse, I got this from All Saints and I really like it because it has loads of card holders, which is good for me because I have a loyalty card for probably every shop I go in, and little coin pockets. Then of course my phone, which I keep in a little Michael Kors leather sleeve to match my bag. Then I always keep my Raybans in my bag, even though I live in England. So I don't really know why I always have them but just in case!

Next comes make up! At the moment in my bag is the Naked on the run palette, which you can read more about in an earlier post. I always have at least 3 different lip products in my bag, today I have MACs Brave and Fetish and also Afghan Red by NARS. The lipgloss is from Urban Decay and features in the on the run palette. 

Finally, I carry some essentials in this little pouch from Dune. In there is a travel sized gel moisturizer from Clinique, which you can read more about in my Clinique sonic system and 3 step skin care review. Also in there is my Nars creamy concealer in the shade Vanilla, if you have read my previous posts you will know I swear by this stuff! Next there are two brushes from Real Techniques, the contour brush and the buffer brush, I also have a review on these brushes on my blog too. Finally the Urban Decay De-Slick spray, I have just recently bought this to try and keep my make up in place for as long as possible and I am really liking the results so far! Definitely worth a try if you are like me and have quite oily skin and find your make up sliding around your face half way through the day. 

So that is everything! You may be able to tell that my bag is quite heavy, I probably carry around way too much than I need too! Tweet me (@georgiamayblogs) with your hand bag essentials, would love to read them.

 Thank you for reading
