The snooping continues! I finally persuaded my Sister to share the contents of her makeup bag. As she has a far more eloquent way with words than I do, I will leave her to explain the contents!
----------------
So as makeup bags go, even I can see that this is a pretty boring one to take a peak at. Classic, neutral, plain and safe are all words you could use to describe the contents of my bag.
From day to evening my look doesn't alter much - I regularly commit the ultimate beauty faux pas of just putting more on when it comes to the evening. Although I might lack adventure, I do like to buy high quality, decent products and if I love a product then I'm very loyal.
Below are my favourites and the ones I just wouldn't be without.
Bare Minerals Original Foundation - This is my makeup bag staple and the best foundation I've found. Gives long-lasting, flawless coverage and no need for powder!
Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector - In summer I like to try and stay away from foundation when I've got a bit of colour and I find this does the job well. Ive not found a better BB cream for the price and I'm yet to check out whether CC creams do trump the BB.
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural - My summer skin essential. Use alone or on top of the BB cream. Subtle, sheer colour for a healthy summer glow.
Laura Mercer Secret Camouflage - Pretty industrial concealer with a base to help it last all day. I'm not so much a fan of the application method, although this maybe just because Ive not bothered to purchase a brush for it. Lasts forever so worth the investment if you are prone to breakouts.
NARS Blush Bronzer Duo in Sin and Casino - Another year round staple. Modern but classic shades of bronzer and blusher perfect for day and evening.
Chanel Eyeshadow Duo in Taupe - Delicat - A new addition to my makeup bag. Neutral colours that work well for the day and evening. Stays put too - If we still lived together, this would most definitely find its way into my room!
Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara - As mascaras go, this isn't bad. But I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it again. Generally I find Revlon to be pretty good for mascaras but I've yet to find one killer mascara.
Rimmel Glam'Eyes Liquid Liner - I wouldn't be without this and despite trying numerous expensive alternatives such as Chanel and YSL, you cant beat this Rimmel option for colour and application. A snip at around a fiver and it lasts forever.
Milani Liquid Eye - In theory a great pencil eyeliner which performs like its a liquid. However sharpening it is almost impossible and after a few weeks of trying and just ending up with black eyeliner everywhere but my eyes, I think I will revert to a standard pencil in future.
MAC Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch - Is it sad that I'm impressed by how much of this she has used?!
Elziabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick - Pricey as far as lip balms go but its a great all year round product that gives a nice subtle sheen as well as moisturising and protecting.
MAC Tinted Lipglass in Viva Glam V and Big Baby - Another classic of mine. I'm not a great lipstick wearer - it seems to last 2 seconds on me, so a nudeish lip gloss is one of my essentials to upgrade my day look to night - I don't think I have ever seen my Mum or my Sister wearing a red lip, maybe one day I will convert them!
MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner in Petting Pink - My hybrid between the Elizabeth Arden and the MAC lip gloss, really conditioning with a touch of colour.
Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers - The classic eyelash curlers. I can't go without them and I hate how mascara looks sans curl. I'm pretty rubbish at replacing the pad though.
