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 is probably 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 that 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!

XOXO

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
