What's in my make-up bag? (Everyday edition)

My make-up rarely changes and with the need to have it on everyday due to work and appearance (I work as a waitress) I thought it would be cool to show you guys what products I use everyday.


Currently the make-up bag I am using is just an inexpensive one that I picked up from Primark for about £1-£2. It was a while ago so I'm unsure as to whether or not they still have the same one. It's quite compact and it's just about big enough to fit my daily essentials into it (not including make-up brushes)



In terms of face make-up I tend to go for Rimmel and Revlon as you can see, I feel that Revlon has a very good palette in terms of shades for pale people and there products overall are good. Foundation wise I use Revlon Colour stay in the shade Ivory alongside that I use Revlon Photo ready Concealer in 002 Light. In terms of coverage both can be used as a light coverage or built upon but this concealer is by far the best concealer I have used, the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer did not help cover up any imperfections at all.  Next is Rimmel Stay Matte Powder which is a Cult item in terms of Beauty Bloggers everywhere it is both inexpensive and effective and helps to prevent shine during the day. Bronzer is something that I never went near as it never appealed to me, as I am one of the weird people who like to be pale, however I recently purchased this to experiment with and whilst I'm not expert it is definitely good for a novice like me. 
Revlon matte blush in Perfectly Peach is one of my personal cult items, I love the pinky peach colour that it gives my cheeks no where the extreme Barbie colour most people go for, I find it complements my skin tone perfectly.  Revlon Lip Butters have been out for absolutely ages and it took me a while to even buy one (Candy Apple) but I decided I would get a more everyday lip colour, Lo and behold I found Peach Parfait its the perfect colour for me and gives my lips both conditioning and colour. The last face product I have to admit I don't always use and I can't always see a difference if I do or don't use it but it is Rimmel Fix and Perfect 5 in 1 primer, it is conditioning and the main time I use it is when my skin is feeling a little bit dry.

In terms of Eye make-up again it is mainly Rimmel and Revlon, I never knew that I only owned things from them but apparently so! The main reason I have two eye shadow palettes is due to the fact I use the Revlon Colour stay quad from my eyebrows, not all of it of course just the dark brown in the bottom right corner. I can't say I'm a pro at eyebrows but recently I love having defined eyebrows, I have been using Collections clear mascara for holding my eyebrows in place it isn't 100% effective but its a good attempt on my part. The Revlon Custom Eyes palette is relatively new so I haven't been using every colour as of yet but it's all about experimenting so that's what I intend to do. I use the Rimmel eyebrow pencil for the lid, it has a special spooly (?) brush to brush my eyebrows into shape. The only eyeliner I use is Rimmel Kohl Brown eyeliner, Black is way to harsh for me, if anything I would use black if I was going out for a night out. Mascara wise I have 2 in my make up bag as you can see, I like to alternate between Rimmel Lash Accelerator and YSL Baby doll they are both really good at lengthening the lashes and making them appear fuller, I only have a sample size of the YSL but it is definitely something I would invest in.   The tweezers are there for obvious reasons, in case I need to tidy up my eyebrows on the go. 


Clockwise: Rimmel Lash Accelerator (Buy Here), Collection Clear Mascara (Buy Here), Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil (Buy Here), Rimmel Soft Khol Kajal Eyeliner (Buy Here), Revlon ColourStay Quad in Addictive (Buy Here), YSL Babydoll Mascara (Buy Here), Revlon Custom Eyes in Glamorous (Buy Here)


And there you have it, the contents of my make up bag and my everyday makeup look! Hope it helped!
