What's in my makeup bag?

Just an insight into what I wear on a daily basis...

001: Brow Zings - Benefit
002: "that gal" Primer - Benefit
003: they're Real mascara - Benefit
004: Studio Fix Fluid foundation - MAC
005: Sugarbomb blusher/bronzer - Benefit
006: Sun beam highlighter - Benefit

(I like Benefit make-up)











001: I only bought this in the summer, and it's still looks brand new by the amount I've used (I use it everyday) Being naturally blonde, I have quite light eyebrows, so this makes them look darker and more defined. It comes in different shades to fit the colour you want, and you 2 different brushes and mini tweezers too.

002: This primer was really good in the beginning and made my foundation last all day. It comes out as a pinky colour, but stays clear when you apply it to your face. After using it everyday for about 6 weeks, it ran out. Being quite expensive it wasn't really worth the amount, for the time it lasted. My gran was there when I first bought this, and you kindly bought me some more for christmas, without me knowing. Worth a buy, if money is no object.





003: This mascara is honestly a godsend!!! My lashes look 10x longer and thicker when applied. 
(yes, that picture is my real lashes!) They look thick but don't look too un-natural so people think they're fake. A bit pricey at £18.50 but defiantly worth it for the outcome.










004: I love this foundation! Very easy to apply with a brush/finger tips. It comes in lots of different shades to fit anyone perfectly. The only problem is it needs a powder/bronzer on top to let it set. I find that most MAC makeup is always perfect and worth the heavy pricing.





005:  (Below) Another brilliant product from Benefit Cosmetics! With it's brilliant 4 different colours, it can be used for blusher and bronzer or you could just use whatever colour for whatever mood you're in. Defiantly one of those products for life!!!

006: I got this smaller addition highlighter free in Elle Magazine, but I'm defiantly considering buying the bigger one when this one runs out. It fits my skin tone perfectly and makes my eyes look a lot brighter. I was a bit causes of trying highlighter because I didn't really see the point in it, but since trying it there is no going back!

Favourite Christmas Gifts.

Firstly,


 I'd like to start by saying this post isn't to brag/show off, (If you feel that way please feel free not to carry on reading) I asked instagram what they wanted, and my favourite gifts was very popular.

I know this post if way overdue, but as you may/may not already know, I only started blogging yesterday so wouldn't of been able to do it any sooner anyway! I don't know any of the prices of these products, as they were all presents :(

Here goes...

Benefit: they're Real! mascara - 
I've had this product 3 or 4 times now, it's honestly like a miracle in a tub (/container or whatever it is haha) It is the best mascara I have ever bought, and I can honestly say I will not be using another until they stop selling! I luckily already have quite thick and long lashes so I don't find the use out of false ones very often, so this is perfect for party lashes/ normal everyday lashes too!


Yankee Candle: Baby Powder - 
I've had yankee candles before, (it's like a tradition between me and mum to buy each other one every christmas) because I have a candle obsessed family! but I think my mum decided to buy me this one because I have a strange obsession to baby smelling products. I always buy baby bath products from the supermarket because they smell and feel amazing! (Recommending it to everyone who thinks I'm weird right now) I wasn't let down by the scent of this candle either, my favourite Yankee so far!


Cath Kidston: Laptop case - 
For anyone who doesn't know me personally, I am the most girliest (if that's even a word) person you will ever meet. I love everything Cath Kidston/flowery and my room is full up of it! I've had a  macbook for a couple of years now,  and take it to college with me literally everyday. I think my mum bought me this because she knew how much my laptop was getting bruised about just chucked in with all my folder. I love the colours of this case, so me!


Oasis: Fur lined parka - 
Ok, I'm going to confess, I didn't actually get this in the sale, I got it when I went sale shopping at the weekend, but I bought it with the money I got for christmas so that sort of counts, right?
Although a bit pricey (£88!!!) I fell in love straight away, the fur is detachable so it's perfect all year round.
