What's in my Travel Makeup Bag?

Two blogs in one day I hear you say? Yes! I am not feeling very well today, and needed to do something constructive.
 
Me and Danny went away at the weekend and I thought this would be a prime opportunity to do a 'What's in my Travel Makeup Bag?' Blog.
 
 

My Makeup Bag

 
This is a clutch bag. I'm not a big fan of clutch bags on a night out because I am the type of person who will leave it somewhere & completely forget out it. I need a bag that is physically attached to me so I don't loose this. I bought this for my 21st and only used it once. Now it has become my trusted makeup bag. I bought this for around £17. I love the stud detailing and I'm a sucker for anything with a skull on it.
 
 

Makeup

 
I think I have a good selection of makeup. These are my main pieces that I can create any look from!
 
Stila in the light eye shadow pallet
Hello Flawless Oxygen Foundation in Ivory
NYC All day long foundation in Classic Beige
Clinque Moisture Surge Crème
Balme Lipbalm in Strawberry (I think)
Hoola Bronzer by Benefit
MAC Paint pot in lets skate
MUA Matte Perfect Loose Powder in translucent
Collection 2000 liquid eyeliner in Black
Rimmel Apocalips (I don't know the colour - Sorry)
L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Black
Helen E Brown Eyeliner
Rimmel Black Eyeliner
No7 Brown Eyeliner
MAC Lips sticks in Crème Cup & Candy Yum Yum
 
 

Makeup Brushes

 
These are my trusted makeup brushes! Starting from left to right
Lydia Powder Brush
 Lydia Angled Brush
Real Techniques Contour Brush
Naked Crease Brush
Random Crease Brush (No idea where this appeared from)
Real Techniques Base Eye Shadow Brush
Real Techniques Detailer Brush
Radom Lash Brush
Random Eye brown Brush
 
So this is everything! Hope you like it!
 
 
 
 

My First YouTube Video!

So, I made this video about 2 weeks ago and have been struggling to put it on YouTube.
I am very poorly today and while I had the time, I thought I would try and work it out & finally after about 3 hours, I managed to get it working!
 
So here is my first video, Hope you enjoy! Please be kind! 
 
(Sorry tried added a Video link & it wouldn't work!)

 
Enjoy!

June Glossybox Review

This months glossy box was a good one! This months glossy box is focusing on how to look good in the summer. Tacking care of you skin, hair, nails & lips!
 
 
1. Monu Professional Skincare (100ml) - Full size 100ml for £15.95
This is a soap free facial wash. It can be used as a alternative to soap. I love this face wash. It smells so refreshing and leaves my skin feeling really soft after use. I use this after I have had a shower as I have never liked using soap/shower gel on my face. This feels so light on your skin when you are using it but your face feels really clean & cleansed after. I don't know if I would purchase it again as £16 is a lot of money for a face wash! I'll see how I get on with it! Another plus, it's a full size version! YAH!
 
2. Figs & Rouge Lipbalm in Cherry Blossom (12.5ml) - Full size 12.5ml for £5.00
I LOVE THIS!  I am a big fan of lip balms! I have never really liked lip glosses but if I want to put something on my lip that feels light weight but feels like I have something on, I grab a lip balm. This has a slight tint to it as well and smells AMAZING! I would defiantly repurchase this! This is also a 100% natural lip balm. The only downside for me is, it's very hard to get the products out and it has a flat applicator. I think it would have been slightly better if it was horizontal but that wouldn't stop me from repurchasing it!
 
3. Helen e Eye pencil with Smudger in Brown - Full size £8
I really like this too. This was good timing as I needed a new brown eyeliner. It is so pigmented and very soft, however I don't care much for the smudger. It's very hard on my eyes and doesn't really smudge. Again, this wouldn't stop me from getting another one as the eyeliner itself is very good!
 
4. John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo & conditioner (50ml) - Full size 250ml for £5.89 each
I have seen this in Superdrug but I have never been attracted to shampoos and conditioners that claim they make you hair blonder/colour last longer. I have always been more interested in making my hair healthier or more shiny. I have used this twice and I don't think my hair looks any different but they are nice. They smell really good - I prefer the conditioner to the shampoo but I don't think I would get them again. I love my Aussie shampoo too much!
 
5. MeMeMe Long Lasting Nail Gloss in 66 Innocent (12ml) - Full size 12ml for £5
Being totally honest, I haven't used this yet really. The colour is near to white and not really something I would pick up. I have heard good things about this brand so I will be having a look to what else they have and will have to get a nail gloss in a different colour and let you know.
  
 
That's everything - Overall I loved this months glossy box! The highlights for me are the eyeliner & the lip balm!
 
I shall see you next month for Julys Glossy box!
 
Take care!

Luxary Makeup Haul

Ooops! I have been spending again! I decided that I would treat myself to a few new luxury items.

 
So I bought items from MAC, Stila & Benefit.
 

Starting with MAC

I got 2 lipsticks in Hue (Glaze) & Candy Yum Yum (Matte) and 1 paint pot in lets skate. Hue is a very plain colour. Just a slight colour on the lip but is a really nice 'everyday' shade. If you are new to MAC then maybe this colour is a good place to start. Candy Yum Yum on the other hand is the most pigmented and brightest neon pink EVER. If you love big & bold colours then get this! It has been sold out for a while, and I finally got it! A truly beautiful shade. MAC lipsticks retail at £14.00 each.
The paint pot is so beautiful. Its very pale pink with little bits of gold glitter. If you don't like glittery makeup then this wouldn't be suited for you. I think It is beautiful. The paint pots are £14.50 each. I thought I would try the MAC brush cleaner. I'm impressed with it at the moment - I think there affordable too, at £9.50
 
 
 

 Moving onto Benefit

I got the hello flawless oxygen wow! foundation & the most glamorous nudes ever eye shadow book. I love this foundation. It's light to medium coverage and just goes on so nicely. They have a nice selection of shades for all skin types. I really like it so far. This retails at £25.50. The eye shadow book is lovely. Every time I went into boots and went past the benefit counter this little book would always catch my eye and for so long I have wanted it, so I just went out and got it. The cream shadows are so smooth and soft with a good colour payoff and the eye shadows are a really good colour pigmentation. I think I may get the other 2 eye shadow books. These retail at £23.50.
 
 

Lastly Stila

This is the Stila, in the light eye shadow pallet. I have heard so many good reviews about this pallet that I couldn't help myself but get it. Well boy this did not disappoint. The colours are so pigmented and you get a nice selections of colour shades. This is nice too as you get some Matte & Shimmer eye shadows. With just this one pallet you can get a nice day look and then glam it up for a nice party look. I am literally in love with this pallet. The eye liner is really good too. It's really soft and again, very pigmented. This pallet retails at £25.00
 
Hope you enjoy my blog, feel free to comment with your views. If you blog too, leave your link & I'll check yours out too!

Tattoo #6

Yes, I did get another tattoo and I bloody love it! It has been done so
beautifully and I am overly impressed with how well it has been done!

 
 
I love it so much! I had 3 black & grey rose's. Took around 2.5 hours! The outline Killed! I hadn't had a tattoo done in a while so it's getting back into the swing of having a tattoo done. This is also one of my largest tattoos but I do love it! The shading was no where near as painful!
 
The 3 rose's are for me, my brother & sister. I did originally want Lilies as these are my favourite flower but couldn't see any that I like and decided to go for classic black & grey rose's.
 
I don't know if I would get anymore at the moment, but maybe in the future
 
Lolly
