What's In My Makeup Bag - September 2013

I'm a nosy beggar so love seeing what other people have in their handbags or use on their face. There must be some other people out there who love this so I thought I would give you an insight into what I'm currently using (Disclaimer: I am no makeup genius, I just slap it on!!)

MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS CLEAR LIP BALM - Purchased this in Tesco just before I went on holiday as I hate chapped lips and I knew that the sun and sea air would dry them out. Absolutely love this product, its not too tacky and I like the packaging

MAXFACTOR MIRACLE TOUCH LIQUID ILLUSION FOUNDATION IN CREAM IVORY - Hate the texture of this product but love the coverage, it feels like show makeup from when I used to dance which feels wet and really heavy on the skin. This is now way too light for my skin tone after my tanning sessions in Cyprus but I still use it under my darker powder as it makes my makeup stay in place all day

RIMMEL WAKE ME UP CONCEALER IN IVORY - I recently did a full review on this product here but I am now nearly out of this much loved product (insert sad face here)

MAYBELLINE PRESSED POWDER IN SOFT HONEY - This was ridiculously orange on me before but is now the perfect colour, it's a bit of a "meh" product i.e. I don't really care about it either way but it does the job

RIMMEL EXAGGERATE EYE LINER IN 100% BLACK - I don't like this eyeliner, well I do, but not for the use that I wanted it. It reminds me much more of a liquid eyeliner and I find it much harsher than other pencil liners I have used before.

RIMMEL LASTING FINISH LIPSTICK IN ALARM - This is my favourite lipstick colour and I actually own three of this exact shade, one for my makeup bag, one for my handbag and one for my drawer at work. It instantly picks me up and makes me feel sexy, confident and smartens up every outfit

BOURJOIS BRONZING POWDER - Love this product, does exactly what I think it should and this product has lasted ages

BOURJOIS BLUSHER IN ROSE FRISSON - Same for this product, thumbs up Bourjois!!

MAYBELLINE MASTER DRAMA KOHL LINER IN ULTRA BLACK - I have been using this liquid eyeliner since I was about 15 (not this exact one, just this brand). It does exactly what I want it to and it will take a lot to convert me from this one.

TOPSHOP CREAM HIGHLIGHTER - Did a review on this one before here but after reading a few more beauty blogs I actually know how to use a highlighter!!

MAXFACTOR FALSE LASH EFFECT MASCARA IN BLACK BROWN - I didn't realise that this wasn't black until like the 4th time I used this. I normally pick black but I like that this is more subtle and slightly more grownup
