What's In My Make Up Bag - Part 2 'EYES'

Welcome Ladies to part 2 of 'what's in my make up bag'. It's this weeks blog hop at bloglovetherapy today I'm going through all my eye products first up will be Eyeshadows followed by Mascaras and Liners so sit back and enjoy.

xXxXx

To start here is everything i use eyeshadow wise L-R:

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet

MUA Heaven and Earth Pallet

Lancome Pallet in Coffret

MUA Triple Eyeshadow in Chocolate Box

MUA Triple Eyeshadow in Pink Sorbet

17 Single Eyeshadow in Chalice

17 Single Eyeshadow in Viva Diva

17 Dazzle dust in Big Smoke

Avon Pigment in Silver

Asda iphone Pallet

MUA Brow Pencil in Brunette

Avon Double Ended eyeshadow stick in Gold and Bronze

Avon Colourworks Cream Eyeshadow and Liner in Mesmerise

It may seem like allot but I'm always mixing it up  i would use a colour from the Naked 2 pallet and another couple from Heaven and Earth i do this so i get full use out off all my favourite eyeshadows.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet

I love this pallet my bf bought it for me for valentines day and i use it all the time my favourite colours are: Half Baked, Booty Call, Chopper and YKD. I love shimmer and glitter and in my opinion you can never have too much on your eyes.

MUA Heaven and Earth Pallet

I have loved this pallet since the day i got it as you can see some of the shades have hit pan. The quality and pigmentation is excellent for a £4 product if you don't have this i really recommend you go buy it :)

Lancome pallet

I got this a long time ago the 2 shades that have been used up were a peach and a light pink, i only use the chocolate brown colour now and sometimes the blushes but the powder is so silky smooth i love it.

MUA - Pink Sorbet and Chocolate Box

Again these are shimmery eyeshadows the lightest pink i use as a highlighter and the darkest pink/purple is gorgeous it's like a deep mauve/plum and i don't realy use the dark browns that much but i love the Orange/Gold shade and they are all so pigmented.

Singles Avon pigment silver 17 Big Smoke, Viva Diva and Chalice.

I'm very much a neutral tone girl but every so often i like to use colour and my fave to use it teal and the gold/bronze is one of my favourite these are 17 single eyeshadows and are shimmery again and very pigmented.
The 17  Dazzle Dust is a lovely smokey grey and i usually pair this with the Avon silver pigment.

Asda iphone Pallet

I got this at Christmas when Asda had all their gift sets in i think it was £3 i only use 1 colour in this pallet which is the brown on the left 2nd row across 2nd row down and i use this on my eyebrows. I have swatched all the shades and they are all really nice but i don't really use colour that much but next time i do i might give these a try.

The last 3

MUA brow pencil - I use this really lightly just to add a bit more definition to the arch of my brow it was only £1

Avon eyeshadow stick - To be honest i have no idea why this is still in my make up bag i haven't used it in ages just forgotten to put it away lol

Avon cream eyeshadow and liner - The liner on this is such a lovely bronze chocolate colour and the cream is a paler mushroom brown

Well that's the eyeshadows now for the Mascaras and Eyeliners

Top to bottom

Avon Super Shock mascara

Collection 2000 Big Fake False Lash Effect

Maybeline One By One mascara

Asda/George Lash Xtend

Front Cover Double Ended black and clear

maybeline express eyeliner in black

Avon Smokey Eyes Eyeliner in grey/silver

So i will start from the top:

Avon Super Shock used to be my all time favourite mascara its brilliant.

Collection 2000 Big Fake  Yes it is a big FAKE, its rubbish the brush doesn't hold enough product so it seems really dry and have to apply 10 coats to actually see that you have mascara on it is such a let down for me.

Maybeline One by One This is the best mascara i have used whenever i try something new i always come back to this its amazing!!

Asda/George Lash Xtend  This is really wet but i don't actually use the applicator that comes with it i use the brush from the Super Shock and together they work really well.

Front cover Double Ended I got this in a Front Cover Set and i don't use the black mascara, i use the clear on my brows just to set the power/pencil

Maybeline Express Eyeliner I love this eyeliner it doesn't make my eyes water like so many others do and its really black.

Avon Smokey Eyes  I don't use this eyeliner anymore i use the sponge on the other end for smudging the eyeliner i put under my eye's

So there you go all my eye products next up will be part 3 BRUSHES

Mini Boots Haul

Well i have been dying to do a bit of shopping it makes me happy :) and while the 3 for 2 offer is on at boots why not?

So this is what i got

Percy & Reed Hair Totally TLC Hydrating mask

Collection 2000 big fake false lash effect mascara in ultra black

Barry M Crock Effect ( that's 1 ticked off the list )
Collection 2000 Perfect Finish Foundation in vanilla

 

 

I wanted to get a new foundation because the 17 miracle matt is quite thick and heavy so i chose collection 2000 perfect finish as it claims to feel weightless on your skin but still give a full coverage which sounds perfect.

I also wanted a new mascara as i have been using maybeline one-by-one for a while now and just fancied a change. As you know the Barry M croc effects is on my April wish list so as it's not April yet i crossed that one off early 'yey me'.
The last thing i got was a Percy & Reed Hair mask which i got free in April's issue of Glamour not bad considering the mask is worth £11 and the mag costs just £2, they also have the shampoo, conditioner and finishing polish in different packs so you choose which product you want and it's 100ml too so it will last a while.

I'm going to use the mask tonight i will let you all know what i think of it

FOTD simple spring look

There is nothing worse than the feeling that your make up is melting of your face with the heat so for the past couple of days i have been make up free, today i decide to apply minimal make up as it's going to be another scorcher so here's what i used.

Face: I used 17 Miracle Matt foundation i applied only a Little bit and used my real techniques stippling brush to blend it in then i used a touch of Soap and Glory's Kick Ass Concealer under my eyes, for my cheeks i used MUA blusher in shade 1 and again i only applied a small amount of this to my cheekbones and then finished off with a light dusting of 17's pressed powder.

Eyes: I used my homemade eye primer then used the naked 2 pallet the colours i applied are bootycall and chopper, on my lashes i used Maybeline one-by-one mascara.

Lips: Rimmel lasting finish in shade 022 nostalgia, i only applied 1 coat then a slick of Soap and Glory's sexy motherpucker lip gloss in shade candy gloss.

In winter i tend to use loads of foundation so I'm going from wearing tones of the stuff to hardly any at all which kinda makes me a little less confident than usual. My aim for this summer is to not really use any foundation at all (EEeeekkkk).

I'm not putting all the links for the places where to buy the products because I'm pretty sure you all know where most if not all of the stuff comes from :)  

(if you don't just leave a comment and i will let you know)

Maybeline Colour Sensational Lipstain

I have never used a lip stain before so i was quite excited to try it out, the packaging is nice all the different colours have co-ordinating lids and ends which i liked, the applicator is like a felt tip pen so its easy to apply, i got the colour tender rose which is a lovely pink, the first thing i noticed was the scent it smells like fruity berry's also colour is really nice and you can't feel it on your lips it is quite transparent but if you wait for it to dry then apply another coat it gets darker which i found really useful because you can use it lightly for a day look and apply it heavier if your going out.

Top: 1 Aplication
Bottom: 3 Aplications

The first day i had this on my lips after 20 mins i noticed  the downside to it, i looked in the mirror and 90% of it had come off the other 10% was stuck to a little dry patch i had, i worked out that it had come of when my lips got wet 'im a lip licker' so because you can't feel it on your lips once it dries you have no idea if its still there or not.

Overall I'm 50/50 on this lipstain the colour is really nice but for me to maintain the colour i would have to check and re-apply it every 15-20 mins which to be honest I'm not prepared to do, i haven't got time to be looking in the mirror every 15 mins worrying that it had come off and I've been walking around with patchy lips. I would buy this if it had more staying power but as its a newish product i don't think they will be changing the formula any time soon.

you can buy it for £5.99 here 

have you tried any lipstains from other brands and what did you think?

please leave comment and let me know :)
