What´s in my Bag? (2016)

I´m pretty sure this is my second or maybe even third ´What´s in my bag´post on here, but as I love reading them I thought I´d do a little updated one. Although my bag is definitely the same as the previous post a few things have changed.

(Left to right)

My iPhone (Yes I still have an iPhone 4S!). Carex hand sanitiser (I get through one a month). My 2016 diary - this one is from Ryman. Portable iPhone charger and cable - I bought both of these from Primark last year and they have changed my life. Tissues - this is a random brand I think I found them in an old handbag, but I always carry tissues, especially in the colder months. My Oyster - I used to have a really nice card carrier, but I got really drunk a few months ago and lost it, along with my ID and oyster! My bag of neccessities - I explain what is in here below... My card purse - this is basically full of every loyalty card that ever existed! A snack - Of course, I´m always hungry and have been loving snacked on these honey seeds (they taste better than they sound).

As well as all of my basic everyday things that I carry around with me I carry a little pouch with things I use for emergencies, make up tops etc. 

I carry them around in a dark green make up bag which I picked up from Mango last month..

(Left to right)

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold - I carry this around for the mirror, not for topping up my blusher on the go. Revlon Super Natural - One of my all time favourite nude lip glosses. A wet wipe - nobody wants sticky hands. Soap and Glory Hand Food - I always have hand cream in my bag and this one smells great. Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Chic - Another nude lip gloss... just in case. Soothing eye drops for itchy eyes - I use these mostly in the summer because I get the worst hayfever, but recently I went to my friends house and had such itchy eyes from playing with her cat so now I always carry a bottle in case of emergency. Travalo - So much easier than carrying a full bottle of perfume. Carmex - for obvious reasons. Chapstick - again, obvious reasons. One mento - I do usually always have mints or chewing gum, on this day I was obviously running low. A bobble/hairgrip - I actually have never needed these, but you never know. Two eyeliners - I don´t know why I need two nude lipglosses and two lipbalms either, I just do. Cold and flu tablets - it´s winter...

Phew. Such a small bag, so much stuff.

October Favourites!

Happy Halloween!

I'm quite excited for this months favourites because lately I've been trying out lots of new products, and I've been liking a lot of things, however, I've managed to narrow down that list to things that I've truly been loving this month and using on a daily basis.

Here goes...

Sleek 'Rose Gold' Blush

I'm almost certain this has featured in a favourites post before but I have recently rediscovered my love for it. It is literally autumn and winter in a blush, the perfect shade with a hint of glitter (who doesn't want glitter on their cheeks in the Christmas season?!)

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum
Another old favourite, I'm pretty sure I rediscovered/raved about this product last year, I bought it as my 'summer foundation' and when winter came around it was no longer summer I found myself needing to have it again. I popped to Boots, got a lighter shade and alas, it hasn't left my face since.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream
Weird fact about me, I'm very fussy when it comes to perfume. However, Marc Jacobs has never released a perfume that I didn't love, Daisy being my ultimate favourite. So when Daisy Dream was released in the cutest bottle ever, I knew it had to be mine.

So Susan Flutter Mascara
I received this product in a Glossy Box not too long ago and have fell in love. The packaging, the wand, the lasting power; it's brilliant. As the name suggests, it gives you very fluttery eyelashes, so if you prefer more full, big lashes then this may not be for you. But for me it is the perfect day to day mascara.

Bourjois Mega Liner
As I've mentioned previously on here, I'm quite a newbie to liquid liner therefore I tend to stick to the easy application ones. The easiest ones I have found are the felt tip ones. I used to use the Rimmel Scandaleyes ones great, but they dry out so quickly! This one has been my new 'go-to', it's super black and lasts all day as well as being much easier to apply than most others.

Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
The perfect fuss free concealer. Coverage, easy application and lasting power. What more could you ask for in a concealer?

The Body Shop Vitamin E, Overnight Serum-In-Oil
After reading such good reviews about this online I decided it was about time I purchased it. I've loved The Body Shop for years and this one hasn't let me down. I apply it before bed and wake up with my skin feeling hydrated and feeling soft. I'm sure over time my skin will continue to thank me for using this.

What have you been loving this Autumn?

November Favourites!

Sleek Blusher - Pixie Pink 

The rosier the cheeks the better this time of year, I'm a huge fan of minimal make up with a flush of colour on the cheeks and a berry lip. Perfect. 

Laura Mercier Hand Cream - Almond and Coconut Milk 

The nicest scented hand cream ever. Without a doubt. And perfect in the cold weather.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain - Crush 

This has been on my lips pretty much through the length of Autumn.

Necklace - Peacocks 

I've been wearing a lot of black lately, so statement necklaces have been my 'go to' to jazz up my outfits. 

Revlon Lip Butter - Berry Smoothie 

The perfect everyday lip. Looks even better on pale skin. 

Yankee Candles - Cinnamon Stick 

Of course, nothing says Christmas quite like a cinnamon scented candle. 

Victoria's Secret Body Spray - Red Plum & Fresia 

I've worn this so much the past month, fruity, girly and kinda wintery at the same time. 

Tresemme Oil Elixir 

My hairs new best friend.

Scandaleyes Thick and Thin Liner - Black Noir 

My eyes' new best friend.

 Blistex Intensive Moisturizer 

Dry lips be gone. This is getting me through the colder months with ease.

OPI - Casino Royale

This kind of colour has been on my nails constantly, along with Essie - Foot Loose. Love. 

What's on my face - Autumn/Winter edition

Hi everyone! 

So it's that time of year again, time to ditch the Orange lipstick and bronzer and commence the berry lips and pale skin!

I don't know about you but this time of year I like my face to look very fresh and healthy and glowing and my lips to be bright! All that said I thought I'd show you a picture of my everyday make up the past couple of weeks, if I fancy a change I will usually change up my lip colour and my blush but this has been my most worn make up look and I'm sure it will be for the rest of the colder months.

Concealer: Rimmel Wake me up (030 Classic Beige)
Contour: Sleek Face Contour Kit (884 Light)

Autumn Make up Haul

I have to say Autumn I'd definitley my favourite time of year when it comes to make up. I love darker lips and sparkly eye make up! So now here in England we are now officially in Autumn I have been searching the drugstore for some new make up (of course) and may have picked up a few things!

"Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo - 35 - On and On Bronze"

I've heard loads about this product but I always forgot to pick it up whenever I was shopping, however I remembered it a few days ago and picked it up and I love it! It's perfect for this time of year and will look great on any eye colour!

"Revlon Colorstay - 505 - Decadent"

On the subject of eyes this Revlon eyeshadow quad is perfect for Autumn and Winter! They are all wearable shades and the gold colour will look great for Christmas time!

"Sleek blush - 926 - Rose Gold"

I'm a huge Sleek fan so I don't know why I was so late on the bandwagon with this one! It's beautiful and the gold doesn't make you look like a glittery goddess, it just adds a perfect glow to your face and the rose colour really warms up your complexion! I love this product!

"Rimmel Colour Rush - 700 - Not an Illusion

If you read this blog, it's no secret I am a huge fan of lip crayons! They're so easy to apply and super hydrating! The new Rimmel ones are no different! This shade is a dark red/brown colour which I tend to wear a lot in the colder months as they suit my pale skin nicely! 

"Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss - 225 - Berry Allure"

Berry lips are so in right now and I love them! They look great on any skin tone! I picked up this lip gloss a few days ago and can't get enough of it! Once the gloss fades it still leaves a gorgeous berry colour on your lips, definitley a winner for me!

"NYC Ultra Last Lipstick - 417 - Flirty"

This lipstick is what I think of when I think of Autumn, it's a really dark pink/plum colour that suits pale skin and rosy cheeks perfectly! I wear so many colours like this, this time of year and I love it!

"Calvin Klein Delicious Luxury Creme Lipstick - 31127 - Cosmopolitan"

Think red lipstick but more subtle and easier to wear. This is brilliant for lazy days when you don't want to wear much but you still want to look 'done'. It's red but not too red and great again on paler skin.
