What's In My Summer Holiday Make Up Bags?

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a fantastic week! I go on holiday tomorrow so I thought I would create this blog post just to let you all know what I will be taking in my make up bag. I don't think I will be wearing that much make up on holiday during the day but on a night I will definitely be wearing some make up. I am taking two small make up bags full of make up products just because I am really indecisive when it comes to choosing what make up I will want so I like to bring lots so I have options.

What is in my summer holiday make up bag?
I decided to only bring 2 mascaras on holiday with me because I didn't really have enough room to bring more to be honest. What I like about these mascaras is they are both different as they create different looks which means I will be able to decide how dramatic or natural I want my eyelashes to look. I have quite dark eyelashes anyway so I probably won't be wearing mascara during the day, but on a night I will be wearing it! The first mascara I chose was my Bare Minerals Flawless Definition mascara, I love this mascara, I have been using it for months and honestly I think its amazing for lengthening lashes and creating natural looking lashes. The other mascara I chose was Maybelline's Lash Sensational mascara, I love this mascara, its great for lengthening and defining lashes for a dramatic look. 

For my face I also have 2 options for the base, the first option is my favourite BB Cream at the minute, the Body Shop's All In One BB Cream, I love this, it feels really light and the coverage is amazing! My other option is my all time favourite which is my Bare Minerals Foundation, I usually wear the fairly light foundation but I am going to bring the light shade as well as I think it will match my skin tone better when I have a tan. I haven't used Bare Minerals Foundation in ages so I am super excited to start using it again as the coverage is amazing and it feels so lightweight! I am also taking my Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer which I absolutely love as well as my Bare Minerals Mineral Veil powder which is absolutely insane, I would even go as far to say its my favourite powder ever! I am also going to take one of my favourite make up brushes ever, my Bare Minerals Full Flawless Face brush, I absolutely love this brush, its amazing!

I have chosen to bring one blusher and one bronzer with me as well. I chose to bring my Bare Minerals ones because I don't really use them that often and I should because they are amazing! I chose my Bare Minerals All Over Face Colour in Warmth because its a gorgeous colour for creating a natural sun kissed glow. I also decided to bring my Bare Minerals blush in Ignite which is gorgeous shimmery pink colour. I am going to bring my Bare Minerals Flawless Face Brush which is amazing and perfect for applying blusher or bronzer.


 For my eyes, I chose two of my favourite eyeshadow palettes at the minute, the first one is my MUA Poptastic eyeshadow palette, I love this, I think the colours are gorgeous and perfect for creating cute summer eye make up. I then chose a completely different eye shadow palette which is great to create a smoky eye make up, my Seventeen Limited Edition eyeshadow palette, these colours are so gorgeous and have a tiny bit of shimmer to them which I love. I am also going to bring my Bare Minerals tapered shadow and crease brush which I can't live without, its the best eye shadow brush I have ever used, I just love it.

 I also opted to bring a few more individual eye shadows because you can never have to many eye shadows can you? I have chose to bring two of my bare minerals eye colours in Centre Stage which is a gorgeous chocolate colour and Flawless Diamond which is a gorgeous shimmery cream colour! Bare Minerals eye colours are my favourites, they are so pretty and perfect for a special occasion! The eye shadow in the middle is from Boots No7 in the shade Cappuccino, I love this eye shadow because it lasts ages and is really easy to blend for a gorgeous dramatic look.

I then chose to bring these three double ended lipglosses which I have featured in many blog posts, I love these, the shades are absolutely beautiful and they are very long lasting! I picked these up in Sephora in New York in May and I instantly knew they would be amazing and they didn't disappoint. They are in the shades: Charmer and Spark Plug, Show Off and Hot Shot and Rebel and Stunner. What I love about these lip glosses is one side is a natural shade for during the day and then the other side is a brighter, bolder shade for a gorgeous night time make up look.

I then decided I should bring a few lip crayons, I chose two from Makeup Revolution, one in an orangey shade and the other in a bright pink shade. I love these lip crayons, they are great for creating fun and bold make up looks. I also decided to bring my Seventeen Lip Crayon which is a kind of neon pinky purple shade which I just think is perfect for summer.

Finally, I decided to bring 5 lipsticks with me because well why not? I chose 5 very different shades. L to R: Champagne on Ice, Blushing Mauve, Love That Red, Iced Amethyst and Bright Pink. These lipsticks are all gorgeous colours, I think I would probably wear Champagne on Ice and Blushing Mauve during the day because they are more natural shades and then wear the darker shades on a night.

Thanks so much for reading!

My Favourite Beauty Products - Summer 2015

Hello I hope you are all having a lovely week, I break up from Sixth Form for the Summer Holidays on Friday and I can't wait, I'm so excited to go on holiday in the Summer and just chill. I'm going to Alicante with my two best friends in August and then the day after I get back from Alicante, I'm off to Malta with my family. I think this Summer is going to be the best one yet.. 

Todays blog post is going to include my favourite beauty must haves for Summer 2015, I absolutely love beauty products! This will be a small insight into what products I can't live without this Summer.. First of all, I have my skincare essentials and I have to say make up wipes are a must, especially in this hot weather as they are so quick and easy to use to freshen up as well to use to remove make up. The ones pictured below are tea tree ones but I just use any face wipes, I'm not really bothered what brand they are. However, tea tree products are supposed to be really good for your skin, I also have a tea tree cleanser and toner from the Body Shop which is amazing! Another skincare product I love is the Garnier Micellar Water, I bought the green lid one which is for combination and sensitive skin, I had the pink lid one before and I loved it so I thought I would try out a different one. I would definitely recommend this product, I bought one a few months ago and its only just ran out so it definitely is value for money. I actually prefer it to make up wipes because it really does cleanse your skin and gets rid off all of my make up. I bought it for £3.29 in Superdrug last week which is an absolute bargain considering it lasts so long! I also love the fact Garnier have released a mini version of this product as it will be so handy for when I go on my holidays, I love it. Another recent skincare purchase is something I have never tried before up until about a month ago which is Freederm, I have the fast track tube which says it reduces spot size and redness in three hours and I have to say it really does. I've never been one to get loads of spots but I do get the odd few so I think this is perfect to tackle my spots. I use it every night before I go to bed and I love it, I've never tried a spot treatment that has worked so well. The only thing I don't like is it dries out my skin but other than that I can't really complain!
Below are two products I can't live without this Summer, the first one is my Soho Nights perfume that I bought at a shop in New York called Aeropostale. This perfume is amazing, its so fresh and summery, I love it. I also love my Cheryl Storm Flower Body Lotion, I love this body lotion because it smells amazing and its shimmery. I love anything glittery so I just think this is amazing especially as it also moisturises your skin which is so important to do.
These are my favourite make up products for the Summer! I love experimenting with bright and bold make up looks in the Summer and I think this eye shadow palette is perfect for a bright make up look. This eye shadow palette is called Poptastic which is a brilliant name for these eye shadows as they are really bright, this product is from MUA and I have to say the quality of the eye shadows is amazing, they are really pigmented, I love them! The colours are gorgeous and perfect for a fun Summer make up look. Another one of my favourite products is something I have been using for ages which is the Bare Minerals Tapered Shadow and Crease brush which is incredible, its the best eye shadow brush I have ever used, I absolutely love it. Furthermore, as you can see below I have included quite a lot of lip glosses because I just think they are amazing to wear in the Summer. One lip gloss is a lip gloss from the Body Shop in a pinky peach kind of colour (it doesn't say the name/shade), I absolutely love this lip gloss as it smells amazing and the colour is absolutely perfect for a natural kind of look. I also included three mini lip glosses I got in a set of lip glosses for Christmas that were part of a collection therefore I picked out the ones I am most likely to wear in the Summer. I chose a light pink sparkly one, a bright pink one and a pinky purple sparkly one, these colours are gorgeous and perfect for a Summer make up look. I also love the size of them as I can take them anywhere which is always good especially when I'm going out and I haven't got much room in my bag. I left the best till last which are my beautiful Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipglosses, I absolutely love these lip glosses, I bought them on my recent trip to New York and I love them. Bare Minerals is one of my favourite brands, the quality of their products are amazing!!! I bought a set of double ended lip glosses in Sephora and I love them, there are three natural colours for during the day and three brighter, bolder colours for a night time. They are in the shades: Charmer and Spark Plug, Show Off and Hot Shot and Rebel and Stunner.
