Beauty: What’s In My Make-Up Bag Winter 2014
I’ve decided to do another What’s in my make-up bag today. My last one was in July which isn’t that long ago but I’ve realized EVERYTHING has changed. You can read my last post here – I still use and love everything on that apart from the bronzer. This post I suppose is sort of what I wear on a daily basis.
First let’s start with the make-up bag which is from SewLomax* – They have some really cute designs like these lipstick one! The only thing that’s the same is my foundation, I have tried a couple of others but I do really love the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation. I’m still on the hunt for a better one!
I’ll briefly touch on the Seventeen Brow’s That – I talked about it in my recent favourites here. Just a very easy kit to use and perfect for my brow shade – Maybe not for everyone.
I managed to get the yes to cucumbers daily calming moisturiser for about £4 down from £11.99 due to it having a damaged box. It’s really helped my skin and it smells lovely. I have also tried the yes to grapefruit exfoliating
I did include the Reve de Miel Lip Balm in my last What’s in my make-up bag but this is a stick version and I’ve just been using this way more and find the pot version gets your fingers quite sticky so this is a lot better. This probably is the best lip balm I’ve ever tried.
This masacara has such gorgeous packaging but it’s so hard to photograph. I bought this Burberry Effortless Marscara in TK:Maxx for £14.99 – I think it had about £10 off. I’d totally recommend looking in TK:Maxx, I’ve seen a lot of Burberry, Laura Mercier and even MAC in there! This is a really great mascara, not the best I’ve ever used – Benefit’s They’re Real is my all time top one! I’m going to be doing a full review on this mascara soon so keep an eye out!
Benefit’s Whatt’s Up was recommended to me from one of my best friends Jorden who has a blog here. I’d been eyeing it up for months and I finally caved. It’s such a beautiful golden highlighter, really pigmented. The sponge it comes with is useless but blended with the right brush it creates a gorgeous highlight.
Seventeen’s Contour Kit has crept it’s way into my make-up bag to replace the Sleek one. I really like the lighter shade to apply above my cheeks and the bronze is a lovely shade. I’ve been buying quite a few different contour kits which I’m trying to try out so I’ll let you know which one I prefer in the end.
I’ve already spoken about my Chanel Les Bieges Powder and Bobbi Brown Eyeliner* in October Favourites. I love these products, the liner is so long lasting and easy to apply and the Chanel powder is so silky smooth on my skin and just works really well.
I’m not sure if I could live without my Nars Orgasm Blush, such a staple item to give you a gentle glow. To finish off my make-up bag I have some Tarte eyelash curlers. They are pretty standard and do the job!
Let me know what you have in your make-up bag, It’s pretty obvious I’m a beauty addict so I’m always looking for new recommendations!

Thanks for sharing Rachel, I had no idea TK Maxx had such amazing premium brands I think I need to get myself in there to xx
Great post! I've tried the Yes to Cucumbers moisturiser and I loved it! xx
my bag looks pretty bare these days… new addition which I carry around which isn't really make-up related but lives in my make-up bag in a migrastick for headaches
Tk Maxx just keeps cropping up in beauty blog posts lately. I have to get my ass there!
Your makeup bag is love! (and I might have to get that yes to cucumbers moisturizer)
Great post<3
Such a cute makeup bag! I need to try Watt's Up!
