What's in my MakeUp Bag!

Whats in my MakeUp Bag!

Just a quick peak into whats in my makeup bag at the moment! Hoping to make this a monthly post, as my love for products change quite quickly!

At the moment, I am loving the following:

Foundation: A foundation that is found is most Boots and Chemist nationwide. Rimmel's Wake Me Up! Probably my most favoured drugstore foundation at the moment! Reviewed here. Under the foundation I've been using No.7's Shine free primer, amazing stuff for those of your who suffer from oily skin, or who just want a matte finish.

Face: Collection 2000 Sheer Loose Powder, brilliant setting powder for under €5.
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer, a constant stable in my makeup bag! Amazing concealer! Blush, an oldie in my makeup collection, but a goodie, Benefit's Coralista. Love this peachy coral blush. Lastly, Mac's Mineralized SkinFinish in Porcelain Pink, gorgeous pink highlight for the cheeks.

Brows: ELF's Brow Kit in Ash. Ordered this a loooong time ago and didn't use it much but reconnected with it lately. Contains a brow powder and brow wax. ELF is also as cheap as chips.

Lips: Nuxe Lip Balm. Best lip balm ever, use it every night and your lips will be in tip top condition. Review here.

Mascara: Has been a favourite of mine for a long time, Clinque's High Impact Mascara. Just love this.

Eyes: Just two products for my eyes this month. Of course one of them is Inglot's Gel Liner, can't reallt live without this now I've found this. The other product is from Mac, a eyeshadow pigment in Chocolate Brown, a pigment that I got a looong time ago in a Pigment set. Another product that I haven't used in a while but rediscovered it and i am loving the bronze brown colour of the shadow.

Nuxe: Reve de Miel Lip Balm.

    Now, I know in my last blog I said I was on a beauty spending ban, and I am still on that spending ban so I've decided to update my blog on things that I am currently using and LOVING!

    The first up is a lip balm from Nuxe, their infamous 'Reve de Miel' lip balm for dry and chapped lips. Now, since I wear a lot of strongly pigmented lipsticks from matte finishes to creamy ones (and I have no intention of stopping), I always suffered from dry, chapped lips, and this bipolar weather isn't helping matters. And it is super hard to find something that actually keeps my lips nourished and doesn't just come off after I rub my lips together a couple of times. In steps Nuxe. I have heard a lot about this product but it proved difficult to find, it's not sold in Boots or even in all chemists. I first laid my hands on the twisty stick version of this and I really liked it, thick and creamy so I felt an instant difference in the texture of my lips, but I had heard that the pot version is 10 million times better (wild exaggeration?)

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm.

     The balm itself is pretty thick on the lips, it kinda feels like an oil slick on the lips (probably not the best description but that's all I've got). I apply this after I take off my lipstick, in fact any lip product I use, and it immediately makes a massive difference to my lips. It is really long lasting as well, if I apply it before I go asleep at night I can still feel it when I wake up. The smell is also unusual and quite hard to describe but it really grows on you after awhile.

   The price, I hear you ask...... €15, give or take a couple of cent, and totally worth it. You lips are a massive feature of your face so they need to be taken care off, especially if you wear strong lip colours like me. Defo keep your eyes peeled for this!
