What's in my make up bag?

Recently I've been keeping some of my favourites and products I'm trying to use a little more in my make up bag, just so they're easy to reach for because I tend to reach for the same things all the time and I'm trying not to get stuck in a make up rut. My make up bag♦ is from Clippy & I love it, it's the perfect size and being able to personalise it with some of my favourite photographs really appeals. It's impossible to get bored with it because you can just switch out the pictures and it's like getting a whole new make up bag.

Base Products.

My go-to foundation at the moment is the Bourjois Healthy Mix in shade 51. I think they've recently reformulated/repackaged this foundation and I've had this bottle for a little while so I'm trying to finally use it up. For concealer there's only one I go back to and it's the infamous Collection Lasting Perfection. It's one of those products that just works, you know? I've been setting everything with the Pur Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Make Up♦ which offers a little bit of extra coverage while not clinging to any dry patches and making sure everything stays put all day. I recently dug out my Benefit Eye Bright pencil because I hadn't shown it much love over recent months and I was in desperate need of something to make me look a little more awake, oh essays, how I detest how you take up so much time! I like Eye Bright, but I don't think it's an absolute staple in my routine, sometimes I can kind of take it or leave it.

Eyes.

Mascara wise I'm in a but of a rut, my Maybelline The Falsies is about to run out and I'm not really sure what to try next, so if you have any recommendations please leave them in the comments! I'm still completely in love with the Estee Lauder Stay On Shadow Paints♦, I always reach for one of these when I want to wear eyeshadow because they really do what they promise. Eyeshadow wise I rediscovered this little NP Set neutral quad that I got in a swap ages ago. I love these colours so much, I tend to use the first shade all over the lid, the second in the inner corners with the bronze shade in the crease and when I'm in the mood for a bit of liner, the darkest colour is perfect along the lash line & smudged a little. It's beautiful.

Cheeks.

I have been making myself reach for the Illamasqua Blush Duo in Lover & Hussy, it took me a little while to really fall in love with this for some reason, but now I have I really adore both colours and I think they're perfect for spring. The Sienna X Cream to Powder Bronzer & Illuminator♦ is a product I've been trying to use more but I'm just not loving it at the moment. It's not very creamy and it can take a little while to warm up so it applies nicely. I think I'm going to have to try and work with this a little more. My Stila Convertible Colour in Gerbera is my absolute favourite cheek product of the moment, it's the most beautiful peachy nude shade that gives your complexion the perfect glow and it's actually a really nice lip colour too!

Lips.

I was sent this Lime Crime lipstick♦ in Great Pink Planet from the lovely ladies over at Baobella and I'm not really sure what I think of it just yet. The packaging is amazing and the lipstick has a really nice vanilla scent, but I find that it clings to any dry areas of my lips and I'm not completely sure the colour suits my skin tone. Definitely another product I'm going to have to try and work with for a little longer. Topshop lipstick in Brighton Rock is a beautiful shade that's bright but not too bright if that makes sense? It's wearable but one of those colours that really brightens the complexion nicely. For a nude shade I've been loving 17 Beehive, they have repackaged these lipsticks now and I've had this in my collection for a little while so I'm trying to use it up before it expires. I also have 2 pink colours in my make up bag at the moment, one of the L'Oreal GlamShine Stain Splashes in Marilyn which gives the most beautiful glossy stain and the Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush♦ that came in a GlossyBox a few months ago. I love these kind of crayon products, they're so easy to apply and although this particular one isn't my favourite, it's nice to have.

What's in your make up bag right now?
