A Snoop Inside My Make-Up Bag.

Hiya Ladies,

Right so whether we like to admit it or not we all love to have a poke through our sister's or friend's make-up bags. Just to do the routine 'Is this any good?' or 'Oooh I'll have to get this myself' nose around! (Please say it's not just me!!) So I am so kindly making the snooping session easy and letting ye all have a peak at what is in my make up bag along with my personal opinion on it.

My most coveted product at the moment is Benefit's 'Hello Flawless' custom powder cover-up.

Now I have had this powder once before and I fell absolutely in love with it, so I was sure to put it on my Santa list this year! Obviously because it would be more expensive than other powder foundations I try my best to spare it. (Try and fail!). When I first purchased it I was abit reluctant as I get quite alot of blemishes on my skin, but honestly I really find it amazing. It feel so light when applied and really does cover up leaving a flawless finish. It also comes with both a brush and sponge so you have the option of which to use. But it most definitely is something I recommend..so much so I'll be sure to put it on my Birthday Gift list..or atleast drop a few hints!! Cough Cough!

Sticking with Benefit another product of theirs that I recently bought is High Beam.
At the risk of sounding like someone who is just swooning over everything by Benefit, I have to admit that I am loving this. It just adds that extra something to my over all make-up look. I mostly wear this on nights out but every so often when I am feeling like putting that extra effort into my day look I pop some of this on. I apply three dots along each cheek bone and a dot on my temple and then dab it-instant shimmer. An absolute must buy if you find yourself standing at a Benefit counter not knowing what to buy. (As opposed to wanting to buy everything!)

Now that's enough from Benefit! I am a true believer in budget make-up. For the sheer fact that I am extremely forgetful and knowing my luck, I would leave a make-up bag full of expensive buys in a taxi or nightclub bathroom. (It's happened before!!). And hey who says you can't look fabulous on a budget?  There are two affordable brands with great products that I absolutely swear by. Those being Catrice Cosmetics and 17 Make Up Products available in all Boot's stores. So I am going to keep it simple, bar a few Benefit cosmetics ALL of my make up bag is made up of these products. Mascara,Eye Shadow,Eye Liner,Blusher,Lipsticks,Primer..you name it...I have it..and all from Catrice or 17.  I would add some photos of these products but with the amount I own..this would be going on for quite some time! All the products can be found in the links above.

So that's a little insight into my make-up bag but my two main adored items I think I have raved enough about-Can you guess what they are?!! What about you guys? Any make up product you just couldn't live without? Please do let me know in the comments below as I am always looking for another product to try out. Or if you have any questions about the Catrice or 17 products please don't hesitate to ask.

Hope you guy's enjoyed this post and serious preparations are being made for some outfit snaps so keep an eye out for those.

Much love,

Sinead-pinkbami
