After posting my Superdrug Haul, I figured it would be fun to do a post on the beauty products currently in my makeup bag. I don’t have a lot, as I don’t wear a lot of makeup. And, I actually SUCK at doing my makeup…and my hair. I’m not a real girl. I do try, I’m just completely useless. Welp.
Nonetheless, it doesn’t stop me from eagerly buying a new eyeliner or eyeshadow palette – maybe if I buy more makeup, I’ll actually wear it. That’s a totally healthy way to look at it, right? RIGHT?
If you’re feeling a bit nosey, and enjoy a good flatlay – which, let’s be honest, who doesn’t? – then enjoy!
URBAN DECAY NAKED2 EYESHADOW PALETTE
Let’s be honest – what girl DOESN’T have (or want) a Naked Pallette? The cult classic beauty brand kills it with every product they launch. Every makeup is likely to have at least ONE Urban Decay product.
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS CONTOUR KIT
Do I suck at contouring? YUP. Did that stop me from buying this, thinking I’ll magically be ale to do it anyway? NOPE. Plus, the light shades are good concealers. So it was a good buy whether I can contour or not.
This is always a staple in my makeup routine. There’s nothing like perfectly shaped and filled eyebrows to make you feel like you have your life together…sort of.
L’OREAL PARIS PARADISE MASCARA
Okay, so I just bought this but I’ve already used it a few times and it’s AMAZING. It definitely lives up to all of the positive reviews it got!
L’OREAL PARIS TELESCOPIC LIQUID EYELINER
When I do wear eyeliner, it’s always liquid eyeliner. I’m a fan of a good winged look, and this eyeliner works so well.
COVERGIRL OUTLAST ALL-DAY 2-IN-1 FOUNDATION
I realize that the bottle is messy and takes away from the *aesthetic*, but let’s be realistic – who manages to actually keep their makeup mess-free?! I use this foundation all the time and love it.
Other products in my bag that I use include The BrowGal Eyebrow Gel, CoverGirl Concealer, which is great for spot coverage on acne, or hiding dark circles and this Revolution Primer. I also wear this lovely YSL Lipstick on it’s own sometimes, or as a base under darker colors, such as this NARS pencil (which I’m OBSESSED with) or this MUA Lipstick (which was only £1!). The brushes are from Superdrug, and sadly I can’t link the eyeshadow palette featured – it’s some random brand I got it from T.K. Maxx for £4.99. I definitely recommend looking for beauty products there, because you never know what you’ll find!
So tell me – what’s in YOUR makeup bag?
