Whats in my make up bag*?



*All of this doesn't ACTUALLY fit in my make up bag (there's so much that it overflows), my brushes and utensils go in a Costa Coffee cooler cup :D

1) Sleek iDivine Storm Make Up Palette - my first ever eyeshadow palette, this was purchased primary for the neutral colours, the dark red, dark green, dark blue never has and will be touched.
2) MUA Undress Me Too Palette - previously blogged about, it is the dupe for the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay!
2b) MUA Undressed Palette - the dupe for the Naked 1 Palette!
3) False Eyelash Applicator - this has no named and no brand, but I'm pretty sure that I've seen this in Poundland, eBay and Amazon for very cheap! This makes putting on false eyelashes such an ease as it goes on in one go! As opposed to using tweezers you would normally place it on the centre of your eye, then take time to make it stick around the edges of your eye! This tool is basically a ginormous eyelash tweezer!
4) Carmex - my holy grail lip balm, I believe I've probably gone through about 8 of these in my life time, they either get lost or I've had it for so long that I think its gone 'off'. Vaseline never does the trick for me! Carmex will forever win!
5) Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - This is quite a recent purchase, just to replace my MUA powder that I've finished :) And if the weather isn't ridiculously humid and hot, it works pretty well to keep my face from going shiny!
6) Benefit Porefessional - I bought this 2 days ago at John Lewis (mum gets staff discount woo!) and the size is double the original for £5 more, it is apparently exclusive to JL? This makes my face feel SO. SOFT. before putting on my foundation. In terms of reducing the look of pores I think it does a pretty good job too! However, the main ingredient is silicone and I'm scared that sooner or later I'll break out. I've gone a WHOLE month without producing a spot! I think it might be due to my new skincare regime ^.^
7) Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream - this is my second bottle! I like that it smells like babies and evens my complexion very nicely whilst providing my skin with SPF 42 and other skin benefits. In terms of BB creams I could never try the western ones, I don't trust them to get the formula right!
8) Canmake Shading Powder - I bought this after watching Style Suzi's "How to Contour Face Tutorial". I use this to sometimes shade around my nose area to give myself a higher nose bridge, or on my cheek bones to make them look like I don't have a flat face! :D
9) Cosmopolitan Makeup Sponge - reading on the internet everyone raves about the Beauty Blender make up sponge. But I refuse to pay that price for a sponge. Instead I bought this from amazon! After Gossmakeupartist said that its pretty much the same! I normally wet the sponge first before I use it.
10) Bobbi Brown Eyebrow Gel - my aunt gave this to me as a handing down. I don't regularly grab this but usually on the days when I noticed that my eyebrow hairs are too long and my eyebrow trimmers are not in sight.
11) Majorca Majolica Mascara - this was from Hong Kong, and the clever Japanese people that made this has put fiber into the formula, it pretty much is like lots of hairs in the mascara formula, so you are painting on physical length! This works like a dream!
12) Kate 1 Day Tattoo Eyeliner - This still isn't the best eyeliner I've come across, but I believe it was quite dear when I purchased it. The applicator is very nice and fine, but the formula is lacking intensity in the colour.
13) Avon Super Extend Mascara - My boyfriend's mum actually gave this to me. This is the only mascara that doesn't smudge and form panda eyes on my bottom eyelashes. I couldn't find it on the Avon website, but there is a tonne on eBay!
14) Angled Brush - this is a Poundland purchase, with the packaging saying Revlon? I just use this for my eyebrows.
15) Eyeshadow brush 1 - this was from John Lewis
16) Eyeshadow brush 2 - this was from Poundland (no laughing! it does the job!)
17) Elf Smudge Brush - I normally use this on my lower lash line
18) (Skipped out 18 on the photograph, very unprofessional of me indeed) 
19)  Shiseido Foundation Brush - now my mum purchased me this brush when she was in Japan with my Auntie, and due to how my Auntie bought 3 of these brushes, mum thought she'd get me one too thinking that its a very good product and that I'd like it too. Its not bad, I mostly use this to blend out concealer. I didn't use this much until I stumbled upon it on eBay selling for £19.99, very expensive!
20) Elf Studio Powder Brush - a dream to use with liquid and cream foundations! I've had it for 2 years now!
21) Elf Studio Complexion Brush - just a powder brush :) very soft and does the job
22) Eyelure Lash Adhesive - obviously used for using false lashes, but I wasn't born with both eyes being double eyelids, and on the rare occasion the eyes need evening out. Mostly due to crying, allergies, lack of sleep :)
23) Krazy Girl Eyebrow Powder - this is an amazon purchase for about £3, I mainly use the first shade but I've dropped it multiple times that its smashed that I might need to buy another one to replace it T^T
24) Eyelash Curlers - I believe its by a brand called QVC? I can't be bothered to reach across to find out at the moment hehe
25) Benefit Erase Paste - this is my second pot in shade 1! The first time I got this was due to my friend Emily's recommendation. Good for brightening the eye area :) But I think next time I'm going to try the Benefit Boi-ing, the lady at the counter said its got more coverage than the erase paste!
26) ELF Eyelid Primer - because I don't want to fork out £15 for the Urban Decay Primer Potion just yet hehe
