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 Natural Summer Make Up Look

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely week and enjoying the Summer Holidays. I'm so excited to go on holiday in August, I honestly can't wait. I decided to do a natural make up look which is kind of inspired by my holidays because I don't want to be wearing my normal foundation because of the heat, however I still want to wear a little bit of make up on the night or whatever. I love BB Creams I have been using them on and off for about 3 years and I honestly love them, I love how natural looking they are but yet good coverage for the days when you just don't want to wear foundation... I'm pretty sure we all have these days, don't we?
Here is the make up I used to create the look below. As you can see the make up look is quite natural, perfect when on holiday or anytime you don't feel like wearing foundation. I used The Body Shop's All In One BB Cream and I love it. Its hydrating and moisturising which is perfect. It also actually matches my skin tone which I think can be difficult to find in some BB Creams as some BB Creams I have tried are too dark or really orangey. I use the shade 02. I then did my eye make up, I chose a yellow-gold shade as I wanted something quite natural from my new MUA Poptastic palette, these colours are so bright and fun to create summer make up looks. I chose a natural shade that I thought would be perfect for a holiday make up look. I used my favourite brush ever to do my eye makeup!! I used my Bare Minerals Tapered Shadow and Crease brush, this brush is amazing, honestly its the best eye shadow brush I have ever used! I would definitely recommend it, it's incredible! For my mascara I used my sample of Benefit's Roller Lash, I really like this mascara, its great for dramatic lashes! I think its quite similar to Maybelline's Lash Sensational which is a more affordable option and in my opinion works just as well. I never used to be a big fan of this mascara, however recently I've been loving it! For my cheeks I used the middle shade in my Barry M Contour Kit as a bronzer, and Collection's Blush in Bashful which is a gorgeous shimmery pink shade, perfect for Summer. For my lips, I used one of my favourite lip glosses at the minute which is The Body Shop's Lip Gloss in 16, it doesn't have a name of the shade which is annoying but its a gorgeous pale pink, peachy colour.
