In my make up bag #1!

Although my make up stash isn't all that extensive, I often find myself reaching for the same products all the time when I keep everything in my main acrylic storage system. Of course I have favourite products that I will always reach for on those days where I just want my make up application to be quick and easy, but there are a lot of products I hardly reach for that need to be shown a little more love a little more often! I've been switching out my Clippy make up bag♦ every so often in a bid to use more products & this is what's in there currently...

Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation // Pur Minerals Pressed Mineral Make Up♦ // Collection Lasting Perfection concealer // Benefit Eye Bright

BASE.
I've had this bottle of Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation for a little while now (this is the old packaging/formula) so I'm trying my best to use it up. It's definitely one of my favourite foundations and I will probably repurchase for as long as they make it, but I'm getting the urge to try out something new. The Pur Minerals Pressed Mineral Make Up♦ is something I've been using as a setting powder just lightly dusted over my foundation to offer a little extra coverage, but mostly for the silky smooth and airbrushed look it gives my skin. I had been thinking about trying a different setting powder but I love this a little too much at the moment to want to give it up. The Collection Lasting Perfection concealer is a staple in many people's make up bags because it's so good yet so affordable. The coverage this gives is incredible and I will always have a tube in my make up bag! Benefit Eye Bright is a product I like, but I don't find myself reaching for it on the daily because it's just an extra step that I sometimes can't be bothered to take - hello lazy! Since it's been easy to reach for I've been using it a little more though and I do like how it instantly makes me look a little more awake, even when I'm really not!

Maybelline The Falsies mascara // Estee Lauder Pure Colour Stay On Shadow Paint in Pink Zinc♦ // NP Set eyeshadow quad.

EYES.

My current favourite mascara is Maybelline The Falsies, I like the length and definition is gives to my lashes and most importantly, it doesn't smudge or irritate my eyes - yay! It dries really quickly which is perfect for me as I always seem to sneeze after applying mascara and it's not a good look to end up with smudges everywhere! In a bid to get a little more use out of my eyeshadows I've been trying to reach for the Estee Lauder Stay On Shadow Paint in Pink Zinc♦ as well as this sweet little neutral quad from NP Set. These two products make the prettiest combination that last really well on my eyes.

Illamasqua Blush Duo in Lover & Hussy // Sienna X Cream to Powder Bronzer & Illuminator♦ // Stila Convertible Colour in Gerbera

CHEEKS.

I absolutely love the Illamasqua Blush Duo in Lover & Hussy. Both colours are so pretty & there's a super large mirror, which I like so I have no idea why I don't reach for this very much! It was pricey so I definitely want to get my money's worth and use it a little more often! I've popped this Sienna X Cream to Powder Bronzer & Illuminator♦ in my make up bag to just try and tempt myself to use it a little more. I recently featured this in my products I don't like post, it's not a completely terrible product but I know I wouldn't reach for it if it were sitting at the back of a drawer. Stila Convertible Colour in Gerbera is perhaps my all time favourite cheek product, I say perhaps because we all know I'm a blush tart, but this is definitely in my top three!

Lime Crime Lipstick in Great Pink Planet♦ // Topshop All About Me lipstick // 17 Mirror Shine Beehive lipstick // Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush // L'Oreal GlamShine Stain Splash in Marylin

LIPS.

This Lime Crime lipstick in the shade Great Pink Planet♦ has the nicest vanilla scent! I'm not completely sold on the colour, I'm not sure it really suits me but I have to say, the packaging is amazing! Topshop All About Me lipstick is one of my all time favourite brights, it's making me feel summery even though the weather isn't! 17 Cosmetics Beehive lipstick is my go-to peachy nude, it's super glossy and easy to wear, which I adore. For on-the-go I've been liking the Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush♦ that I got in a GlossyBox. It's not my favourite lip product and I don't think I would repurchase because they're a little overpriced in my opinion, but I'll absolutely use this up. And finally, I can't be without one of the L'Oreal GlamShine Stain Splashes, this one is Marylin a super easy to wear pink that smells like cherry sweeties! Yummy!

What's in your make up bag at the moment?
