Summer Makeup Bag

                                

          Hello again, my lovely readers! Today's post is something that I 

           thought would make a great one, now we're coming into Summer! 

          I LOVE this time of the year, and makeup just gets so pretty and 

             bright too. Here is the contens of my Summer Makeup Bag.

            Face-

                 My top foundation for this Summer is easily the light, and dewy Match Perfection

                    foundation from good old Rimmel. I just find it has a really light coverage, but 

                       still covers up any redness or dark spots. Concealer wise, I have reverted 

                   back to my trusty old 'Phwooar Paint' from Seventeen. I really love this concealer,

                     as the lightest shade matches my skin perfectly - covering up any dark 

                         circles or blemishes in a flash. Despite the cheesy name, it's one of 

                        my favourites. Too keep my foundation and concealer in place, I like to use 

                        a generous sweeping of Rimmel's 'Stay Matte' Powder. Every beauty 

                         lover has this in their stash - it's such a little bargain, but a little superstar. 

                   

                     

                             

                       In terms of cheeks, I contour the hollows of my cheeks using the NYX 

                      'Taupe' Blush - which I won't go into much detail about, as it was part of 

                    my May Favourites post. Then I bronze my face AND NECK up with Benefit's

                        'Hoola' Bronzer. I've not had this long, but my god - I BLOODY LOVE IT! 

                        Despite being so pale, a light dusting of this using a kabuki brush adds a

                        natural glow, to make me look all sun-kissed. Such an essential! 

                        Then I have 2 lovely and pink blushes. First, was also mentioned in my 

                        May Favourites, and it's the beautiful Lancome 'Rose Paradis' Blush. 

                      My second top blush is probably my most used in my whole collection - 

                          it's my very well-loved MAC 'Peachykeen' Blush. I bought it last summer

                       and I have worn it to death ever since. It's perfect all year round, adding 

                          a natural pink flush to your cheeks. Lovely...

 

       

                    

                    Eyes-

                      My favourite eyeshadows of this summer mainly consist of my 2 babies -

                        my MAC pro palette (see yesterdays post) and Urban Decay's 

                             drop-dead gorgeous Naked 3.  But the other eye product is a real old 

                          friend of mine. This little beauty has been in my makeup collection since 

                              I even used makeup- it's been very well loved and it's 4 gold shades 

                            just scream "Summer!". Rimmel's 'Heart of Gold' quad is a little 

                                 stunner.  For my eyeliner flicks- I use my Ted Baker Pen Liner, 

                             which I was very pleasantly surprised with, when I received it in a set 

                                for christmas. I love a good flick throughout summer, and this one 

                               stays put all day long!    A hidden gem!! 

                            For the last part of the eyes, mascara - I have been using a mix

                               of my two current favourites at the moment. Barry M 'Lash Vegas' 

                           and Max Factor 'Wild Mega Volume'. They work together like a treat

                             leaving me with long, volumous lashes. 

                      Lips-

                           Aaah. The last section, and my FAVOURITE section. If you've read my

                          blog for a while, then you'll know my addiction to lipstick. It's pretty 

                             freaky actually. So, as you can imagine - having to choose my favourites

                            out of my ever-growing stash, proved very hard....

                            

     

                Can we just take a moment to appreciate this beauty?  I managed to rustle up 

               my 7 favourite lipsticks. First up, Topshop's 'Ditzy', Rimmel's '110' and Lancome's

              'Miss Couqueliot'. These are all the reddy/orangey toned lipsticks. Ditzy is more of a 

               creamy and pigmented offering, whilst if you want to go matte - '110' is the choice, 

                and lastly, Lancome offer a more natural and subtle shine. For pinks, i've chosen

               the beautiful 'Pink Noveau' and the practically neon, 'Candy Yum Yum' from 

                  the best lipstick makers - MAC. Again, for a more delicate and sheer 

                     pop of colour, then Lancome's 'Rose Flaneuse' is your girl. 

                  Lastly, if you know me - I am a sucker for a bright lip, and this Revlon matte balm

                    in 'Shameless' is amazing to really make you stand out from the crowd at 

                      parties this summer. I love it so much!

                

      

        L-R; Ditzy, 110, Shameless, Miss Couqueliot, Pink Noveau, Candy Yum Yum

              and Rose Flaneuse. 

                     So there we have my Summer Makeup Bag (although I don't

                    actually use a makeup bag...) I really enjoyed writing this post

                  and I can already tell these swatches are gonna be a total 

                     pain in the arse to remove. The things I do for this blog, eh?

                 bag, and which is your favourite of them? Don't forget to follow
