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.

Skincare favess xox

Hiya everyone! So today I thought that I would talk about my skincare must-haves, since I haven't really talked about skincare before. Firstly, I have combination to dry skin. My forehead is quite oily and prone to spots, but everywhere else is pretty dry. I use the same skincare products all of the time, because I am happy with my routine and I don't want to upset my skin. Please let me know if you have used any of these before, I would be very interested to know. Here are my picks!

Garnier Mycellar Water cleanser for Sensitive skin:

I love using this because it is so quick and easy for mornings and evenings. A little amount goes a long way with this product, which means it lasts ages. Because the mycellar water is for sensitive skin, it is really gentle and leaves your skin feeling super smooth, soft and rejuvenated. Also, this is very budget-friendly because it is around £4-£5. Highly reccomend!

St Ives Apricot blemish control Scrub:

I don't believe I have heard anyone ever talk about this before, but I love it! Since I have dry skin but also spots, this is great because it helps remove dry patches and clear blemishes. The St Ives scrub is quite strong, so any impurities on your skin will be cleaned away. I use this in the shower 4-5 times a week and I always feel really clean and fresh when I have finished. Go check it out if you are looking for a new face scrub!

Montange and Jenessee face mask in Blemish Mask:

I don't often repurchase a face mask from this range, since there is such a variety of scents and purposes. I use the Blemish mud quite a lot, even though it is quite basic. With each package I get 2-3 uses, and for the price, that's an incredible value for money. These are really fun to do with your friends too, and perfect for sleepovers.

Re-Gen Cream:

This is my daily moisturiser, and it is perfect for me because it is designed for blemishes and dry skin. Ever since I have been using this, I have noticed dramatic changes in my skin, this clears all of my imperfections and deeply moisturises dry skin. Also, underneath my makeup, this gives me the most beautiful glow that makes my skin look really healthy. This is probably the best moisturiser I have ever used and I would highly reccomend you buy one!

Those were my fave skincare products, I hope you enjoyed reading. Please give me suggestions on posts I should do next, I would love some of your feedback! 

See you soon,

Gracie
