Whats in my bag

Hello lovelies, wow has it really been that long? Just a quick little update from uni (because that is the reason for my lack of posting) I have my last ever deadline on Wednesday!! So the stress is almost over! Today however, I wanted to do the what's in my bag tag.

The first item is my purse, this purse is from River Island and I think i've had it for about 3 years now, and I haven't found any other purse that could replace it as of yet. I will be gutted if it ever breaks on me. It's just the perfect size with the perfect amount of compartments and I love it.

I am not the most tidy of persons when it comes to my purse, I constantly have receipts sticking out everywhere and train tickets etc. but it does the job!

Next is my handbag makeup bag, I always like to have a smaller makeup bag for my handbag as I never like to lug around all my makeup. At the moment this little bag is a black one from Ted Baker. I switch what goes in this all the time, but at the moment it is just the Maybelline matte mousse foundation, a Mac lipstick in the shade 'creme in your coffee' which I am loving at the moment, and then just some hand gel.

I think this picture just sums up the weather we are having in the UK at the moment, I am carrying an umbrella and sunglasses! The umbrella I have at the moment is the amazing Pandora one I got from work. And I need some new sunglasses but these are just some ones from Topshop. 

If you know me, you will know I will not be anywhere without a hairbrush, I probably brush my hair a bit too often to be honest. So that is an essential for my bag, and then I also have the worlds smallest pencil case as my friends like to call it. Its basically just got enough room for two pens and a highlighter, which is all I need for uni. So its perfect. (I do have a bigger one too, just don't like carrying that round with me everywhere)

I shall start with my little business card holder. I have this to keep my business cards in and any that I get given, to keep them nice and safe. I then have my mini mac book which is actually a pocket mirror (Which you may have seen on my 'what I got for Christmas haul') And then lastly, when I was at work the other day I took a few of my charms off my bracelet so I popped it in that little pouch for now. 

And lastly, your bag would be pretty useless without your keys. I have my house keys for Uni and my house keys for home along with my car keys.

And that is everything that I take round with me in my bag! If you guys have done a similar post, I would love to see what you keep in yours! 

Whats in my makeup bag

Hello lovelies, so tonight I finally got some free time and decided to do a quick post for you guys. I do have a few planned its just finding the time to do it, but I promise more are coming!

I've wanted to do something like this for a while but i've always felt I didn't have enough 'good' stuff because I'm still fairly new to blogging and living life on a student budget. But I decided to treat myself recently so I finally feel like I have something decent to share with you guys.

Now I tend to swap what is in my makeup bag as I only really use my makeup bag when I go away and pick and choose what I want. Normally I have all my makeup on my dressing table so its not much of an issue.

I had just been to my boyfriends this weekend and this is what was in there.

My naked palette is my saviour. I forgot it once and I almost cried. Recently I have much been preferring more natural eyes, I hardly ever use eyeliner now so the naked palette does everything I want it to do. I have a few brushes in my bag but to be honest I only really use two or three of them.

This is one of the newest things you haven't seen. I got this from bareminerals for Christmas and I was quite impressed. Its not the normal mascara I would go for, but it kind of widens your eyes and especially makes the edges look miles longer.

There is nothing else that you guys havn't already seen now, but if you do have any questions about anything please ask! Thinking soon I will do a what's in my handbag post, so let me know if you'd like that too. Thank for reading guys,

MAC Haul

Hello lovelies, So I have got tons of things recently. I've been treating myself a little too much. Today I went to M.A.C and picked up a few things that I have been craving. 

My 14 year old sister actually got some foundation for Christmas and because I didn't know my exact colour I unfortunately missed out on that one, so I went and got some myself anyway. I had been meaning to get Mac foundation for years but I have to travel quite far to go to the nearest Mac store so I've just never got round to it. However now - I have it! 

My skin has been bugging me recently and none of my foundations were doing what I wanted them to do, so I opted for the longwear foundation that gives you full coverage. A lot of people feel with this you need to add some powder to make it feel less shiny but I have quite dry skin anyway so powder often dries it out, so with a bit of bronzer and blusher, that will do the job anyway.

I've also never been much of an eyebrow girl, and never took as much care as I should with them. This will be one of the first good eyebrow pencils i've bought and I really hope it makes a difference.

And who can go into a Mac store and not buy a new lipstick? Not me. I wanted to go for a darker shade this time but not really into the gothic purples or anything like that. I found one which I adored called Viva Glam but unfortunately they didn't have that one in stock. However, I did find another one I really liked. I wanted a matte finish one because the others I have are glossy and have some shimmer to them so matte was a must. 

The one I got was called Taupe, its quite deceptive to be honest because I wasn't expecting the colour on my lips to be as it was. But it is really lovely and i'm glad I picked this one (although viva glam is definitely on the next to buy list)

And thats my little Mac Spree. The amazing thing about this little spree as well was there as 10% off all make up! So it cost me around 45 pounds for all three things. I would also love it if any of you could recommend your favourite mac lipstick colours for me to check out - I want to find out what everyone is loving and expand my collection.
