Ok so I am spending the night at a friends tonight because we’re out celebrating her Dad’s 60th birthday – which is quite an accomplishment ha ha. Both my friend Sophie and her family have been in my life since we we’re 5, so I felt honoured to be invited to their birthday feast tonight – which is going to be Indian food YAY…I am very excited it should be a lovely evening.
So due to this ‘staying over’ girly night I decided sharing what’s in my over night bag would be a good post – you can tell me if its not ha ha – anyway shall I go on…
Fragrance: Flora by Gucci, my boyfriend brought me this and I love it, great sweet but grown up scent. It is definately as my friends call it a ‘Laura Smell’ haha.
In my skincare bag I have the following:
Camellia & Rose hydrating cleanser (Pai)
Love this cleanser great for dry skin, click here to review my post on the samples I purchased.
Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser (The Body Shop)
Vitamin E Hydrating Toner (The Body Shop)
Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream (The Body Shop)
Vitamin E Moisture Serum (The Body Shop)
Coconut Body Butter (The Body Shop)
As I’ve said I am a huge lover of the Body Shop, I enjoy a vast variety of their products and for the last few years been a repeat buyer of the Vitamin E products as well as their body butters. Great hydration and results, but as currently you all know my skin has become even more sensitive so my quest for new products is on going, but for now they are great to use, great smelling and great moisturisation.
Intense Lip Moisturiser (Blistex)
I have a variety of lip creams but over night when we regenerate our own skin cells I like to add an extra hint of moisture to my lips, which are constantly needing lip care. it comes out very white and I just apply a thick layer and then go to sleep.
Q 10 Plus Eye Cream (Nivea)
I do tend to go for eye creams made of anti-wrinkle purposes but thats not because I have a fear that I am getting wrinkles at 24. I tend to find eye creams for this type of age are more sensitive around the eye area than those that say their for sensitive eyes. I have been using this one for about 3 months now, I quite enjoy it, it is a good cream and does help with the dryness at times. But I am always on the look out for a good eye cream, if anyone can recommend one.
Gentle Eye Make up Remover (L’oreal)
Wearing heavy eye shadows I prefer taking off eye products first. Currently this product has been in my routine for about 2 months or so and although it does the job, there are in my opinion probably better products out there but I’ll wait until I finish this bottle.
And Cotton Pads
———————————————————–
In my Make-up Bag I have the following:
Naked Basics Palette (Urban Decay)
I’m in love with this palette it’s something I return to everyday without fail. I was never much of an eye shadow wearer, because I felt that all the colours were too dramatic for my simple tastes. I like the natural look and coverage that these shades bring, you’re able to create so many different looks with just these 6 shades.
Naked Flushed Palette (Urban Decay)
I brought this on a wimp because I was so in love with the Naked basics creation (I will point out I do not own any of the other Naked Palettes just the basics – I feel this is all I really need but you never know in the future I might do) Anyho…. The colours in this palette are extremely pigmented and although I like it I don’t Love it as much…. I find them quite hard to blend into the skin sometimes But I do LOVE the highlighter that comes with this set – which is why I am taking it with me tonight.
Pump up the Volume (Collection 2000)
This is not my favourite mascara but because you end up having to change your mascara every few months anyway i like to use it all up and get my money’s worth. This is a good mascara don’t get me wrong, I just really dislike the brush, its too big and clumpy and I find myself constantly getting it on my eye lid – not a good look.
Lychee Lip Gloss (The Body Shop)
I’ve mentioned this in a previous post so I won’t go on about it again. I’ll just link the post here for you to read.
Lip Liner: Nude (BAREminerals)
Same with this product I’ve mentioned it in a review so I’ll link post here.
Wake Me Up Concealer (Rimmel)
My favourite concealer at this time I know the Wake Me Up products from Rimmel have got everyone in the blogsphere chatting about them but this is an all time favourite especially for my Hook under eye dark circles, this products is a MUST HAVE for me.
Stay Perfect Foundation: Warm Ivory (No. 7)
A great foundation. I got this after A Model Recommends recommended it ha ha in one of her posts (click here to see her blog). And I have to say this is a great foundation, although not meant for dry skin, I only seem to get small patches of dryness on my face, and this foundation doesn’t seem to bother them at all. It gives a great finish and matches my skin colour perfectly – and it does last a long time. On nights out this is my go to product because you never know what will happen and you want to look your best at all time – stay perfect as they name it.
Convertible Colour: Gerbera (Stila)
This is yet another product recommened by loads of bloggers who seem to have it in their make-up bags and I have to say it is a great blush, it is the oy cream blush I’ve ever owned and I will at some point buy more. I currently have it in Gerbera which is a lovely peachy pink colour, but I would like to get a richer pink and redish one for the summer/winter months coming up this year. I dab this on my cheeks with my fingers and then blend with a blush brush, great coverage.
Blush Brush (ECO Tools – boots)
Mini Brush Set (The Body Shop)
Red sequin Make-up bag (Superdrug)
I won’t go into detail about the tools I use to apply make-up. We all find different things that work for us all. But these brushes are softs and last well.
Hope you all enjoyed this post, let me know what’s in your beauty bag
