Tour Of My Makeup Bag! Xxx

Hiya everyone! So I was going to do an updated 'Everyday Makeup Routine', but I wanted to something different since I have seen a lot of others do this. So instead I thought I would do a 'Tour Of My Makeup Bag', because then I get to show you more of what I use. This post will contain my everyday makeup, brushes and skincare! Hope you enjoy! (Ps, sorry for the blue-toned photos!)

Skin Care



Usually, I don't use a face mask every day, but I wanted to include this in anyways! For cleanser, I use the Garnier Mycellar Water because it is calm and gentle on the skin. I also love this because it comes in many different types to suit your skin! To moisturise, I use the 'Re-Gen' cream because it treats lots of skin problems and hydrates my dry skin.

Makeup 

My everyday makeup has actually changed a lot recently. For my base I use the MAC Studio Fix Powder in 'NC 20' because it gives me coverage whilst being lightweight on the skin. I actually contour with a Primark foundation stick in the shade 'Warm Beige' because it is just the right shape and really creamy! After this, I highlight my cheekbones with the Rimmel Match Perfection concealer. For brows, I use the Collection 'Colour Lash' mascara in 'Brown', because I find that mascaras last longer than brow gels and this also gives my brows a tint. I use Soap and Glory 'Lid Stuff' eyeshadow on my eyelids, then finish with the Barry M white kohl liner. After curling my lashes, I use my KIKO Active+ mascara and Roller Lash because they make a great pair. To finish the look, I apply the Primark lipstick in the shade 'Marsala'.

Brushes

Most of my brush collection is from a set I bought online a while ago called 'Glow'. This set is amazing, you get 12 brushes and a case for a great price, and the quality is really good too. The brushes are really soft yet dense, meaning the application is really great also! If you are looking for some new brushes, check these out here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Glow-Makeup-Brushes-Crocodile-Leather/dp/B00G6Z8R9O/ref=sr_1_4?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1456686081&sr=1-4&keywords=glow+make+up+brushes

The remainder of my brushes (and sponge) are from Primark.

Review: KIKO Nail Polishes

Hiya everyone! Today I am going to be telling you about my favourite ever nail polishes from KIKO. I very recently discovered KIKO when a new store opened near me and I went to check it out. I had never seen any of their products before and when I walked in it was very bright and colourful. I only picked up nail polishes, but I would love to try some of their other products!

The shades I have are Pastel Blue (385) and Mint (562). 

Sorry for bad quality photo!

Now, onto the product. The reason that made me want to look at these in the shop was the fact they come in a huge array of colours, it was so difficult to choose! Luckily, I was kindly given some testing tape to help me! Another great thing about this product is that when I got to the till, I found out they were only £2.50 each. I would have easily paid more for what you get.

When applying the product, the first coat can sometimes be a bit streaky, but when the second is applied, it all comes together to create a beautiful colour. The polish look even better with a top coat (I haven't tried the KIKO one yet, but my favourite atm is Sally Hansen 'No Chip Top Coat.')

The best part about this polishes is the lasting power. With an average polish, it will last about 2 days before chipping. But with the KIKO polish, I can easily go a week before it chips! Also, this product is supposed to harden your nails, but I haven't really tested that out yet.

Overall, if you are looking for a new polish, I strongly recommend you buying some from KIKO because they are the best!
