What Makeup To Take When I Travel ♥

I go and stay over at my boyfriends for the weekend a lot and i used to take all my makeup in a huge vanity case, but i figured whats the point in that when i barely use half of it.. So here's what i take with me when i go away for the weekend.


A foundation of course, either my Revlon Colourstay, or Max Factor Lasting Performance, or sometimes both.
A powder to set my foundation, currently Rimmel Stay Matte.
Concealer, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer for under my eyes and ELF All Over Cover Stick for other areas that need covering up.
I usually take about 2 or 3 blushes so i have more of a colour selection if i don't fancy wearing the same colour blush all weekend. My current favourites are MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty, and MAC Springsheen blush.
A sample size Urban Decay Primer Potion.
I usually take a few small eyeshadow palettes like the Sleek palettes, they fit into my makeup bag nicely.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Zero.
A mascara, currently Maybelline Colossal or Maybelline Define a Lash.
A selection of lipsticks, my current favourites are MAC Plink!, MAC High Tea, and Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 010 Summer Angel.
A selection of lipglosses, my current favourites are Too Faced White Diamond Lipgloss, Rimmel Stay Glossy in Non-Stop Glamour MAC Lipglass in Cruise Control, and MAC Lipglass in Elle.

Do you tend to over pack when it comes to makeup or do you prefer to only take the necessities?

Happy Valentines Day! <3

Makeup Collection - Blush ♥

Wow, i feel like i haven't blogged for ages! So I've done my eyeshadow collection, now onto my blushes. Blushes seem to last me for ages, but i just can't help myself from buying more and then i very rarely use some of them. I'm thinking i need to do a sort of project 10 pan kind of thing with my blushes so that i actually use some of them up!

Top row, left to right: Pure Blush in Peach, Pure Blush in Pink Shimmer, E.l.f Contouring Blush in Blushed, Revlon Matte Blush in Perfectly Peach.
Bottom row: dVb Blush in Enchanting, Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink, MAC Mineralize Blush in Dainty, MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Springsheen.

Anything that you'd like a review on?

I think I'm going to do my lipstick or lip gloss collection next, what do you think?

Makeup Collection - Eyeshadow ♥

I feel like i haven't blogged in ages! I'm here to show you my makeup collection, starting with my eye shadows. I will do more posts like this showing you the rest of my collection, i just have too much to fit my whole collection into one post. I think this is a good idea so that you can view my whole collection (because we all know that's fun, and we all like to have a nosey. I know i do!) and you can also see everything that i own and pick out things that maybe you'd want a review on.

Onto the collection:

From left to right: Urban Decay Deluxe Palette, Urban Decay Ammo Palette, Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume 2. (I've already done reviews for these three palettes)

Left: Sleek Original Palette, Rimmel Duo in 421 Desert. Middle: Beauty UK Palette's in 4 and 1. Right: Clinique Quad in Plum Seduction, Gosh Quad in Grand Passion, Rimmel Trio in 730 Spices.

Left to Right: My only MAC Eyeshadow in Gleam, Too Faced Duos in Lovey Dovey, Bon Bon, George & Weezie, Poodle Puff, and Fantasy Island.

What would you like to see next in my collection? Lipsticks, lip glosses, blushes?

New Makeup Storage ♥

Yay, my 50th post! :)

I got new makeup storage, i was keeping my makeup in a vanity case but it was just sat in the middle of my floor taking up a lot of space so i saw this in Asda for £4 and thought it would be perfect! The vanity case won't be going to waste though, i paid too much for it to just sit there so I'm going to use it for travelling and visiting my boyfriend, i stay over at his house a lot and i like to have my makeup with me so that's what it will be used for.

So what do i have in here.. Not much, when i see my makeup collection like this its really not much compared to what some people have.. I might do a post on what is in my collection drawer by drawer if your interested (leave a comment if you are), but for now..

I have my foundations, powders, blushes, bronzers, and concealers in the top drawer.
My makeup palettes, and eye primers in the second drawer.
My Mascaras, eye liners, and smaller shadows in the third drawer.
And lastly in the bottom drawer i have my lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms.

Thanks for reading :)
