Inside my make up bag: everyday look
FACE
I've used L'oreal true match foundation for a good few years now but my best friend left her foundation at mine recently and i decided to test it out (shhh don't tell her) Dream Satin liquid by Maybelline and having struggled to find a good foundation for years i was very satisfied with the product unlike L'oreal true match its a lot less watery and the thickness of it means that you don't have to put a lot on to cover your bags and blemishes. I am that pleased with it that I'm gonna be unloyal to my foundation of 3 years and make friends with Dream Satin Liquid (after i steal this bottle from my friend).
I then use Bourjois bronzing powder, this is in a cute little box and is meant to smell slightly like chocolate, although it reminds me a bit more of sunscreen (although i like it as it reminds me of holidays). I used this over my whole face as a powder (I like the tan look) and then put a bit extra on my cheeks.
EYES
I then used a eyeliner I recently bought by Mua in black on my bottom lids, this eyeliner cost me £1 so I had quite low expectations of this, the eyeliner has a handy sharpener on the lid this is perfect for me as my liner often goes blunt and i never keep a sharpener in my make up bag the only thing about this is, is that gets quite messy and is quite hard to clean the eyeliner off. The eyeliner isn't amazing it is quite smudgy which when your going for the smokey eye look is a pro, but when u want a nice neat line its not the best. Although for a pound i wasn't expecting much and i will continue using this until its on its way out though properly will spend a bit more in the future.
I love my flicks and this is something I have done for about 5 years on my top lashes, i just used a basic black liquid liner (unfortunately the writing has rubbed off it and i have no clue where its from) and draw a neat line on my top lids and draw my flicks at the edges. I recently read about these stick on eyeliners that create the flicks for you, which i really can't wait to try but cannot find in any shops at the moment but when i do i will be reviewing this item as i find it hard to keep both my flicks exactly the same.
On my eyelashes i am a big fan of volume million luminizer mascara for blue eyes by L'oreal, i find that it really lengthens my lashes and also creates volume without creating that spidery look you sometimes get with mascara. It has a hint of dark blue in the black mascara, but really comes out black i'm not sure if it really does anything to my blue eyes but I buy it just incase lol.
I got caught by those annoying people in those department stores that grab hold of you and try do your make-up, she introduced me to this eyebrow shadow by a make called Christian as she put it on i really noticed a difference in my eyebrows, unlike eyebrow pencil i felt this seemed a lot more natural and although i have naturally dark eyebrows i felt it filled them in and you didn't get those gaps i sometimes get. It comes with 3 stencils: thin, natural and thick and a brush this allows you to create the shape you prefer though to be honest after a few weeks i ditched the stencil and just did it without. This powder is meant to last 2 years but i've had mine for just over a year and its coming to the end of its life but i guess it all depends on how much its used, its also meant to be waterproof although i haven't tested it yet (though have had no dripping eyebrows when getting caught in the rain). I will defo be repurchasing this soon.
LIPS
On my lips i use superstay 10hr tint gloss by Maybelline in forever fuchsia this is really dry but does leave you with a nice colour though im not sure about any gloss, i also wouldn't slap it on thickly and i really just put a couple of tiny dots around my lips then rub my lips together. To create the shine and also to allow some moisture onto my lips i top it off with rosy lips vaseline.
And that is what i wear make up wise on a day to day.
