Whats in my Makeup Bag

This is whats in my everyday makeup bag. This would usually be the makeup I'd wear in college or on a weekend when I'm lazy. I don't really wear much makeup in college. I don't really see the point and some days when we're practicing looks I don't bother wearing any because I would just have to take it off as soon as I got in to college.

1. Oilatum. Such a good moisturiser and its the only thing that stops my skin from going dry.

2. Vaseline. I've only recently started using this everyday. I always get dry/chapped lips and I think its so rotten so if I use this in the morning it keeps them smooth.

3. GOSH x-ceptional wear foundation. This foundation is okay. They are really good if your really pale. I picked up this shade instead of the lighter one I normally get a 11 but I think this suits me more. 

4. Lasting Perfection concealer. I recently bought this and I really like it. Covers dark circles really well and its not too thick or heavy. 

5. Big Fake Lashes. I love this mascara. Its replaced my Max factor 2000 Calories. Its really lengthens my lashes and doesn't make them clump at all. 

5. Topshop Cream blush in Pinch. I LOVE this blush. No words can describe! I have had it for almost a year and have used it every day and there's barely a dent in the pot. Its so nice. Sorry that I haven't included a picture of it! But I would recommend it to everyone.

6. Body shop Vanilla Perfume. I know this isn't makeup but I use everyday. Its the vanilla perfume from the Body Shop and it is SO GOOD! I love anything vanilla scented and this is no exception. I really need to buy a new bottle. Its only about €14 too. Bargain! 

I was going to include some pictures with this makeup on but the light had gone by the time I had finished taking pictures etc. I might do a "get ready with me" style video. If not I'll post pictures. Do you have a makeup bag post or video? I love seeing what is in other people's makeup bags. It does make me feel lazy though because most people wear smokey eyes or a flicked eyeliner everyday. Personally I prefer the extra 10 minutes in bed!

Things I've bought recently

I went shopping the other day. I had some Sam McCauley's vouchers and some Christmas money so I picked up some new makeup and a few other things.

Well I didn't  buy these my Mum did then she gave them to me. They're Yankee Candle tea light in Sparkling lemon. I absolutely love lemon scented stuff but vanilla is my favourite. These came in a set of 16 just didn't think you all wanted to see 16 of them! I really want to buy one of  the large Yankee Candles but I wouldn't know what to get. Anyone got any Favourites? 

I really wanted a girly pink polish. So I bought the one on the left (Flamingo) and then because I had bought this polish and the foundation below I got the other polish free. I picked a lighter shade of pink. I think I'm going to do my next post with them. 

The first two I already have I had just run out. I love Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash. Its becoming my favourite mascara! I just love the massive brush and it makes my lashes look a bit thicker and longer which I'm not complaining about. Then I got Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer. I had read so many amazing reviews so I had to try it. So far I really like it. Its really creamy and you don't need much to cover up under eye circles or blemishes. 

I bought the mini baby shampoo just to clean my makeup brushes. I love the mini sized products. They are such a rip off but I'm such a sucker for anything mini or cute! haha. 

I got these for my kit. They were €9 which is really cheap for 5 pairs of lashes! I don't know if I would wear them all but I'll definitely use them in college. 

Have been looking for something like this for a while. It has to be the worse thing in the world when you spend ages painting your nails and then you have to sit there for ages until they dry or you get impatience and then smudge them! I haven't tried it yet but I hope its good. 

 Lastly I got the Benefit Finding Mr. Bright kit. I LOVE benefit kits! You get to try the mini products (cute) and then if you love one certain thing you can buy the full sized one. I had a full sized High Beam but it went missing :( so I'm delighted there is one in this. I've never tried any of the others but I've heard lots of good things about Erase Paste! I'll probably put these in my kit too because they are small they won't get up too much room and are so handy to have :) 


I got back to Dublin today. I have so much work to do for an assessment on Wednesday. I am really stressed out about it but its got to be done. I can't get used to the cold in my house after being at home for the last 2 weeks where the fire is always lighting. I have prepared for this though. I have new fluffy pjs, a fluffy dressing gown and my electric blanket. I can't wait. I better get start on all my work... :( x
