What's In My Make Up Bag - Part 1 'FACE'

I love reading post's and watching youtube videos of 'Whats In My Bag' and 'Room Tour' maybe it's because i loooove seeing what other people have got, how they store things, what they like to use daily etc... Also its bloglovetherapy weekly blog hop.

So i thought i would do a What's In My Make Up Bag post this it just the stuff i use most often.

(be warned it's gonna be a long one and there are quite a few pictures)

To start here is my make up bag

 I got it a couple of years ago full of soap and glory goodies, now what's inside

I'm going to do a post for each category so first up is:

FACE

So L-R

17 Miracle Matt Foundation - Porcelain

Collection 2000 Perfect Finish Foundation - Vanilla

17 Pressed Powder - Nicely Natural

Avon Bronzer - Shimmering Bronze

Eye Primers I Made

Soap And Glory Kick Ass Concealer - Light

Cheap version of bourjois blush (no idea of the make)

MUA blush - Shade 1

Avon Highlighter that looks like a lipstick

Top: Collection 2000 Perfect Finish

Bottom: 17 Miracle Matt

I have just bought the collection 2000 foundation in the shade vanilla, it's a little dark for my skin even though it's the lightest they do but i really like it and my stippling brush work's brilliant with it i think it's because the product is thinner than the 17 one it's wearable if i blend it really well and feels like i don't even have it on. 17 Miracle Matt is a perfect match for me it's in the shade porcelain  but with the weather getting warmer i found it was a bit too heavy which is sad because i love this sooooo much.

17 Pressed Powder

This is my favourite powder and i only need a light dusting of it, i got in shade nicely natural. Previously i was using an Avon one then a while ago 17 had a 3 for 2 offer on so i picked it up and i love it, i hate it when a powder gives you that cakey/powdery look but this seems to just disappear into my skin.

Avon Bronzer

This is the only bronzer i have ever used as I'm so pale i apply the smallest amount of product so this has lasted me forever

Eyeshadow Primers

I made these using Soap and Glory Righteous Butter and MUA foundation

Left: I made this one the other day as i wanted to try a different ratio out it it half of each product.

Right: This is the one i use everyday the ratio is 3/4 S&G and 1/4 MUA.

They work just as well as the more expensive brands but for a fraction of the price.

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer

I love this concealer it is the best one i have tried so far i have yet to try the collection 2000 one but will deffo be getting it when i find my shade in stock.

It has 2 shades a lighter softer 1 on the left which is for under eye dark patches and the slightly darker harder 1 on the right which is for blemishes then you can flip the mirror down and there is a setting powder.

Cheap version of bourjois


This is a lovely medium pink, i got this from a market stall while i was at collage yes that was a long time ago but i can't seem to give it up i love it too much. It came domed but that has long gone.

MUA Blusher in shade 1


I got this to replace the 1 above, it's a really nice colour and so pigmented it's a lighter pink than the other one and yes i accidentally took a chunk out of it Oooops. I have been using this nearly every day since i got it and it may possibly have taken top spot over in my blusher collection.

Avon highlighter


I use this to highlight under my brow, it has a really nice gold shimmer to it, i don't use this all the time as i tend to switch up the products i use to highlight quite allot, again i got this some time ago so have no idea if they still stock it.




Well that's it for the FACE part of my make up bag

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)

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer

I hate buying concelers because i can never find one that i like or that covers my dark circles well enough so when i read missbudgetbeauty's review on it i was very intrested in the fact that it had two different shades and a powder with it so i decided to go and buy it.

When i first saw it i thaught it was a little bit small but hey good things come in small packages ;)

So as soon as i had got home i tested it under my eyes and to say how dark the colours look in the pallet they blend into my light skin realy well and the powder is realy nice aswell i used it the other day allover my face after my foundation and it's a perfect match (yes i know the powder is super light but so am i)

                                                                          

So i think i may have found a concealer that works for me thank you missbudgetbeauty for reviewing it otherwise i would never knew it exsisted.

You can buy it here for £10.00

Thanks For Reading
