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,

Top Ten Tag

Hello lovelies, I was tagged by the beautiful Millie from Corkscrew Curls, so go check her out. This is the top ten tag, so I will just natter on about my favourite beauty products really.

1. Foundation

Well i've tried pretty much every drugstore foundation there is, because as much as I would love to say I could afford to buy Mac everytime I run out, I can't. So at the moment, the one I am loving is the Rimmel wake me up foundation. This is the first one I have bought and I do really like it! Will be purchasing again i'm sure.

2. Powder

Now I actually got given this as a present and when this runs out i'm a little bit screwed as i'm not sure where I will be able to repurchase this. It is called Sue Devitt triple C-weed loose powder. And if my sources are correct I believe it was in a glossybox one time so some of you may have had it before.

3. Concealer

Well again, it has to be the Rimmel wake me up concealer which I think I have mentioned before. To be honest with you guys I haven't really tried out that many concealers but when you have one you really like, why bother?

4. Blush

I'd have to say my go to blush is Mac's blush all day. Mine is in a darker colour which I like but I do need to invest in more pinky colours soon. 

5. Bronzer

Again, i'm pretty sure I stole this off my mum and the front has all worn off so i'm not even sure what it is, but its an amazing bronzer! All it says is pot of gold brozing pearls.. in a little cirlular brown pot. So if you guys know what it is, let me know! 

6. Highlighter

I really don't use highlighter, and i'm ashamed to say I don't own one. But if you know of an amazing one that I simply must try out and it will change my life forever, please enlighten me.

7. Mascara

The mascara I am loving at the moment is Maybelline's Rocket volume express mascara. Absolutely love it.

8. Eye Shadow

Of course it is going to be my Urban Decay naked palette. Even if you are in a rush and just shove a few shades on your eyelid it still looks amazing! 

9. Brows

I really need to buy a new eyebrow product, but the one I use at the moment is just a Rimmel brow pencil. I think i'll probably try the benefit brow stuff soon.

10. Lip Product

I'm actually not going to mention any lipsticks, but something I had in my July favourites. Its the EOS lip balm. I have yet to purchase any more like I said I would but it is definitely on the list! Its so easy to apply and handy to carry around everywhere with you.

And that is everything, Thank you again Millie for the tag. Thanks for reading,

Birthday Haul!!

Hello lovelies, So the 27th of August was my 20th birthday, and my gosh was I spoilt! And i'm writing you a blogpost about all the wonderful things I got this year.

So I was so lucky this year, I was a bit down about it as not a lot of people were around for it and I wasn't expecting much at all because we are in the process of looking for a car for me, so I thought all the money would go toward that. However I got thoroughly spoilt! This is just a look into a few of my favourite presents.


So I'll start with Marvin. Marvin is the teddy bear you can see, he is a build-a-bear teddy (the ones where you go pick the teddy, you stuff them with the stuffing then put a heart inside him and sew him up and they come alive) And he has a little birth certificate and everything, I love him. This was from my boyfriend and all he needs now is a little bow tie.

Then Marvin is kindly holding my Naked 3 palette! I've wanted one of these for forever, and I can't wait to get experimenting with it!

Next I got some headphones, I am normally just using some stick in headphones and recently they have been playing up a bit, so these seem great! And they are obviously a lot cheaper than say Beats or other competitors.


 Now you may be looking at the bottom right hand corner and going, is she 3? no my friend, minions are my favourite thing in the world, and my best friend went above and beyond! I got minion everything, those are just two of the things in that picture. She even made me a minion birthday cake!! (Pictures will be down below).

Another one of my favourites is my Pandora Ring. It is from the birthstone ring collection and it is the month of March. This is another gift from my boyfriend and his birthday is in March, and it just so happened that this gemstone was my favourite one. I believe it is aquamarine.


And then finally, the best till last. This was the biggest surprise of the day, I was not expecting this in the slightest! I now own my very own Michael Kors bag, and it is perfect!



Honestly I am so over the moon with this. When i opened it I couldn't stop shaking for ages afterwards.













Then I had several surprises throughout the day...


 I got this amazing bouquet of Roses delivered from my boyfriend who sadly couldn't be with me on my birthday.

Then this amazing minion cake!! which tasted just as good as it looked.

Overall I had such a lovely day surrounded by love, and I am so grateful.
