Whats in my everyday work bag

whats in my everyday work bag

Hello my beautiful readers,

 First of all my bag,

I haven't done this post in a very long time so I've decided its time I done another as the seasons are changing which means my bag will be as well.

 its a black faux (fake) crocodile skin bag which I purchased from eBay for £9.00, when I saw this bag I just new it had to be mine as it looks very cute and very girly rocker.

but obviously buying things from eBay you've got to be weary and know what's going on when you buy as some people describe items as incredible quality but they can be extremely bad, but I've been really lucky and never had a item I've always brought beautiful quality items.

the bag doesn't haven't a large amount f pockets there's only three pockets but it makes up for the lose of pockets by having a large space within the bag.

also on my bag there is a badge this badge is a great deal to everyone who comes from Islington London, even though I'm not longer living in London I will show and fight for the justice that henry hicks will get for his death, he was taken away from everyone far to soon at just 18 years of age he was harassed  for 3 years by police, and sadly passed away a week before Christmas 2014 in a police chase that was not provoked and was in unmarked cars with no sirens. we will not stop fighting to get justice for him he was a lovely lad with a incredible future ahead and it was taken away far to soon, I never got the honour of knowing the person he became , but I did have the honour to know him as a young child and he was such a kind hearted and loving individual.

Lets begin.

when it comes to my bag I don't exactly have a typical amount of stuff I don't carry loads of makeup round with me, just a few items,
I always carry round a red note bag which fits perfectly in my bag, I carry this around with me for when inspiration hits and I need to jot down the notes and ideas I have for my blog.

Headphones, lighter, hand lotions, I always have my headphones in my bag you will never see me without my headphones, a lighter is for when I need it to light candles in work or at home, I carry two types of lotions around with me, one is for my eczema and dermatitis  and the other is for general use.

next item within my bag is my tablet, I adore carrying my tablet around with me as it has my books saved on it and also has the blogger app so if inspiration hits I can jot down ideas, currently I'm reading thirteen reasons why. my next book is paper towns.

my little blue bag, instead of carrying a makeup bag around with me I carry I carry this little blue Anna sui bag around with me the contents of this little blue bag are, ANNA SUI, SUI DREAMS PERFUME, A COMB A MAKEUP REVOLUTION MIRROR AND WHATEVER PIECES OF MAKEUP I NEED THROUGH OUT THE DAY.

my purse is a beautiful blue and cupcake pint its from lydc London and I got it last year for my birthday, I adore this purse as its not your usual type of purse you'd find in a girls handbag, it just a normal purse with a unique twist of cupcakes perfect for me, as in not really a colour sort of girl.

sculpt and contour review

make up revolution contour, highlight and blush

 

recently I discovered makeup revolution, its a newish brand out and incredible prices as low as £1.00, I've read and heard amazing things about this particular brand of makeup such as it being amazing pricing, durability and most of all INCREDIBLE dupes for mac and sleek makeup.

 

 

now I've always had that goodness and the annoyingness of having a December birthday, now everyone can obviously see why having a December birthday would be frustrating. I have to wait a whole year for my birthday and Christmas, but, its also amazing because its that time of year where all the makeup and beauty gift boxes come out so I have a great selection of make up every year.

and this birthday (last year)I was lucky enough to get my hand on one of the makeup revolution Christmas gift boxes, I absolutely loved it came with such amazing items such as blusher, eyeliner, bronzer, nail vanish and lip glosses, but this post is all about the sculpt and contour kit.

 

 

The sculpt and contour kit comes with three different powders, a bronzer (brown), blusher(pinkish) and a highlighter (white).

on the make up revolution web page there description is written as follows:

 

"Achieve SCULPTED & CONTOURED Professional Excellence
Our amazing kit provides everything you need for a professional sculpted and contoured finish. This Multi-tasking Handbag Favourite does everything, to be used Together to shape, or individually to freshen up and brighten throughout the day.
Bronze and Blush Powders to achieve a precise contour, and new shades of our amazing HIGHLIGHTERS to finish by BRIGHTENING and illuminating"

 

the above text is written on the makeup revolution website and I can 100% agree with everything they say. at first the contour kit was a bit of a odd colour for my skin type but then I realised just how amazingly pigmented the whole makeup rev collection was, it made me realise that I was adding far to much bronzer to my brush and needed to apply it more delicate, the bronzer is rather brown but it looks amazing on and beautiful light once applied correctly.

 

you apply this bronzer is a down ward angel starting from the top of your checks following down the just underneath the check bone in the hollows of your checks.

 

the highlighter appears to be really white it you apply to much to your brush but theres a technique to applying this istead of brushing like strokes you brush the brush along really fast across the highlighter to gain some on the brush but not loads to make the skin a different colour, you apply this item to the hollows of your cheeks and to 0the none bronzed sections to give that highlighted contoured effect.

 

the blusher in my palette comes in a beige, pink which matches perfectly to my skin and doesn't make me looked washed out due to my irritable skin tone of pale and beige, its very tricky to match them u, but I've found a great item which works with the tone of the skin.

"showing out those party eyes "

"showing out those party eyes"

I've been wanting to test out makeup revolution for such a long time, but i couldn't find a superdrug store that stocked them. Untill i came home to london and the store in located 5 minutes from my house happened to sell them, so i treated my self to 2 of the gift boxes they had.

I am so happy with the items i received within the boxes and after almost a month of testing them out im extremely happy to say THIS BRAND IS INCREDIBLE. 

This review is all about the makeup revolution "showing out" eyeshadow pallet, on the back of the gift set this pallete came in it says "the exclusive eyeshadow pallete" so according to my box its a exclusive pallet.

The pallete comes in quite standard packaging which i prefer, if the packaging is too bold it takes your attention away from the actual products inside.

The packaging is a black plastic container, a see through lid and the writing "make up revolution" in gold.

yes the packaging is dirty I like to test products
before reviewing and I'm not a photo hoarder

Within the packaging you have a double sided eyeshadow brush with 2 pads on either side, the brush is also black and contains the writing makeup revolution in gold.

 

You have 12 eye shadow within the packaging, the colours are absolutely stunning and incredibly pigmented.

Most of the eyeshadows are crazily pigmented, but a few of them are very light and doesn't have much pigment within, so when applying you hace to use a bit more then normal to make it noticeable.

The colours which are NOT very pigmented are white, off white baby pink, baby pink, and metallic silver. Its only 4 out of the 12 that have low pigmentation.

this pallet is amazing I'm so glad I brought this pallet as my first, my favourite colour in this pallet is the gold its just so pretty and shiny it just looks incredible on with a pair of beautiful false lashes to compliment the colour of eye shadow.

I don't know if anyone else has tried this out but OMG you need to I've fallen in love with this pallet so would you.

Real techniques limited edition

Real techniques

If you follow my Instagram or twitter you would know that my most favourite make up brushes are the real techniques by Samantha chapman.

these brushes was created by a professional makeup artist who wanted to create affordable, high-end  brushes that you can buy in such stores as boots and Superdrug's.

I for Christmas I got 5 more real techniques brushes I have a huge collection already but I really wanted the limited edition cuts so my dad,

(he was in charge of buying gifts this year due to my mother working)

went and brought me them after searching for while as most dads do not know anything about makeup let alone makeup brushes.

the brushes come in a square black box with a see through lid, within the box there is 5 brushes placed very carefully in a foam square shape, the foam has a array of colours on the box ranging from purple, pink and orange in a few cool patterns.

on the back of the box you have a description of Samantha chapman and what the five brushes in the box do and what ones are the special cuts.

The brushes that come in the box are....

duo-fiber face brush: for lightweight application + blending of face powder or pigments

cheek brush (set exclusive): evenly applies makeup across cheekbone for a more dramatic finish

angled shadow brush (set exclusive): perfectly cut for layering eye shadow in the crease

base shadow brush: applies a smooth, flawless foundation of colour

eyeliner brush (set exclusive): firm, angled head for optimal control along lash line

I haven't used every brush in this collection yet as there so beautiful and I would hate to ruin them (yes I know you buy makeup brushes to use)

the brushes I have used are

1.eyeliner brush

2.duo-fiber

3.blusher brush

these brushes have been amazing and I can't wait to use the rest of them to see how much they make a difference to a everyday makeup routine.

Once my brushes have been used more ill post a review about them.

Botanics by boots

Botanics by boots 

As everyone knows big brands such as boots, Superdrugs, Sainsbury's, Tesco etc. All have something called in house branding, this is were the company create their own formula of something and sell it cheaper. etc. Tescos finest tea bags  and Superdrug have B.beauty which is a own brand makeup range which is amazing I must say you can see my B.beauty gel liner review here.

Recently I needed a make up remover and unfortunately boots store didn't have the one i normal use which is the gairner makeup remover shake to wake, so I decided I'd try out a new one and see it it turned out, the first isle I came to in the boots store was one which had there own brand products on, and I was pulled in due to the beautiful colourful packaging.

http://m.boots.com/mt/www.boots.com/en/Botanics-All-Bght-Eye-Soothing-Eye-Make-Up-Remover-150ml_1261973/ 

I brought the eye soothing make-up remover after about a bout 20 minutes of deciding what I wanted to try as there is loads of different things to choose from but you need to find the right skin care products for your skin type and I have chosen the pink range.

On the botanic bottle and the boots website there is a brief description on what the product does, this is always a plus as you need to know what the product is formulated of so you can choose the best type for you're skin. 

" The clear oil phase effectively sweeps away impurities and make up, including waterproof formulations"

 

Like any product there are always pros and cons and you can't really tell what they are from reading a post you need to test for your self. So here are my pros and cons (not a lot of cons)  

Pros:
Gives a beautiful soothing and soft finish.
removes all make up
Can be used all over face
packaging is a beautiful colour and size
price is great 1.99 (sale) 2.99 normal price
a range of items to work along side with.

Cons:
Leaves face feeling too oily
comes out of the bottle too fast

Key tip with this product only apply a small amount as there isn't a pump it just slides right out the bottle and makes the pad very wet and greasy this cause the make up to spread around your face instead of being removed.
