What's in my makeup bag?

The real question should be what's NOT in my makeup bag.

Haha! I quite literally carry all my everyday makeup in this bag. It's just a large cute floral patterned bag from Primark. It stays on top of my Ikea nine drawers and holds all my everyday makeup. It's so much easier to reach for the bag instead of rooting through my drawers searching for everything.

When I go to University (or anywhere really), I just toss it into the bottom of whatever bag I'm using at the time. It's especially convenient when I'm out all day and need to do retouches.

The full list (as of yesterday):

Sample sized Benefit Porefessional
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation #010 Light Porcelain

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer #01 Light

BareMinerals Stroke of Light Eye Brightener

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder #001 Transparent

Makeup Revolution Blushing Hearts #Blushing Heart

Maybelline Colour Tattoo #65 Pink Gold

Makeup Revolution Awesome Lash

Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Eyeliner

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss #150 Peach Petal

Makeup Revolution Amazing Sheer Lipgloss HushHush

Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick #107

MaxFactor Colour Riche Lipstick #833 Rosewood

Nivea Lip Butter Raspberry Rose

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

MAC Fix+

And now I truly realise how much I carry daily!! I do rotate it each week, but still that's a lot! I'm shocked it all fits in the bag with room to spare. I usually carry hand cream, contact lenses and a big powder brush in it as well.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who carries this much? It just seems to multiply on it's own! I'd love to hear what everyone else carries (and if it's as bad as mine).

MAC: Fraud or Not?

It's getting to the time of year when people start gathering together all there gifts in the rush to the holiday season. They start trying to get the best gifts possible for the best price they can. Unfortunately that leaves them vulnerable for people to take advantage of them. The most common form of this is through the use of counterfeit goods. Recently a MAC lipstick was purchased for me, as a Christmas gift, from eBay. When I learned of it I was immediately sceptical and dubious of how genuine it was; I like to research into the item and view the pictures available myself. When I checked the listing, the lipstick was listed as 'MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick'. Upon looking at the details and the images available, I noticed that there were very few specifics and one general image of the lipstick with the lid off. I immediately wrote to the seller asking for pictures of the bottom label on the box and the lipstick tube (Well as details such as finish and shade). I kn...

Totally Fabby MAC Lipstick!

I'm in the middle of shopping for new products; sort of preparing for the transition from winter to spring. Instead of picking up deep burgundies and warm chocolates, I have started to pick up pastel pinks and vanillas. I cannot wait of the warmer weather to roll in. MAC frost lipstick in the shade Fabby was one of those new seasonal additions I picked up recently. Fabby is a really muted rosy pink shade with a frost finish. The draw point, for me, is the frost sheen gives kind of a golden overlay to the lips. The golden tone just adds an extra dimension, and helps brighten up any makeup look. For being a frost finish, the colour pigmentation is quite opaque with a single swipe. The texture is not that creamy, and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'd describe it more as very similar to that of a MAC matte finish; creamy and not glossy. I feel that Fabby is one of MACs more overlooked shades; passed over in favour of the more hyped about lipstic...

Barry M Colour Changing Lip Paint in Neptune

Remember way, way back, back to the very beginning of my blog. One of the very first products that I reviewed was the Barry M Lip Paint in the shade Genie. For those who don't know, Genie is an unusual colour changing lipstick. While it looks green in the tube, it turns a shade of pink on the lips that is supposed to be different for each person. It is supposed to be a result of the lipstick reacting to the alkaline level of the lips.
