Travel makeup bag/ moving house

Travel makeup bag/ moving house
I'm in the middle of moving and these are most if the stuff I kept here until I move to my new flat wich should be at the end of the week now but iv been in the process of moving for about a month now and my  dressing table and makeup were the first things I moved so I had to choose some things to keep here to do my makeup each day until I move.

I got this vanity case for either my birthday or christmas from my mum, it's no7 from boots and came with some no7 products inside it, but iv been using it for my makeup etc for the last 3 or 4 weeks.

Some stuff have pretty much been in here since i moved the rest of my stuff to my new flat and a couple of things iv bought since then and they ended up in here. (I don't need 2 eyeshadow palettes but I origionally just had the naked 2 palette with me but then i bought the makeup revolution iconic pro palette and iv been using that one ever since.)
I like how it looks like a mini suitcase
In one side I have:
-lulu guiness tangle teezer 
-maybelline super stay 7 days gel nail color.
-bourjois cc cream
-bumble and bumble surf shampoo & conditioner.
-Aussie 3 minute miracle beach mate deep treatment.
In the other side I have:
-naked 2 palette
-makeup revolution iconic pro palette
-makeup brushes
-duo eyelash glue (I have false lashes but I'm wearing them)
-tender love + carry makeup bag
-sculpt glow moisturising coconut avacado oil (I use for my face)

-The balm Mary Lou-manizer highlight
-Estée lauder bronze goddess bronzer
-Charlotte tilbury cheek to chic blush (in the shade 'extasy')
-Loréal volume million lashes mascara
-mac velvet teddy lipstick
-clarins instant light lip balm perfector
-Loréal lumi magique pure light primer
-Loréal true match foundation
-bourjois silk edition powder
-urban decay naked flushed palette (strip)

-zoeva 102/silk finish brush 
-real techniques blush brush 
-real techniques multi task brush 
-real techniques sculpting brush 
-charlotte tilbury powder and sculpt brush
-sigma E55 eye shading brush
-sigma (writings worn off) I think it's E70 angled shading brush.

I have a few bits in the bathroom like makeup remover, body wash, because they were already in there and they probably wouldn't fit in this case anyway.

Makeup revolution iconic pro 1 palette

Makeup revolution iconic pro 1 palette £6.99 (I've heared it's a dupe for the lorac pro palette wich is why I wanted it because lorac palettes are hard to get hold of in the uk.)
Top row are mattes and the bottom row are shimmers, both rows have good pigmentation.

It has a dual ended brush, this is just one side of it the other side is a flat brush for applying eyeshadow to the lid. I like that they have included this brush instead of the cheap sponge tip applicators they usually include.
It has matte packaging instead of the usual shiny packaging that the other makeup revolution palettes have.
This is the box it came in.

I only bought this palette today so I haven't used it on my eyes yet but from swatching it I can see the pigmentation is great so I think il really like this palette (not that I needed another nude eyeshadow palette or anything).

Have you tried any makeup revolution palettes? Let me know in the comments :) xxx

Primark mint green holidays wash bag

Mint green holidays wash bag
This wash bag is £4 from in primark it says holidays on the front. They also have a makeup bag to match that says essentials on it for £4 and a vanity case to match that says travel on it for £5, these are a great matching set or if you want to just buy one like I did. I did want to get the matching set but I have so many makeup bags and I probably wouldn't need to take all 3 anywhere together anyway so there wouldn't be much point for me.
Iv been wanting a hanging wash bag for a wile because I had one in my bathroom at my old flat a wile ago but left it there when I moved.


I'd either use it for my makeup to hang in the bathroom because that's where I usually do my makeup, or for my toiletries but at the minute it has some of my makeup in.

Makeup revolution blush palette sugar and spice

Makeup revolution blush palette sugar and spice



This blush palette was only £6 from superdrug.
There is 8 blushes, 6 are matte, 1 is a shimmer highlight shade and 1 is a merged baked shimmer blush.
This palette is suce a bargain it works out at 75p per blush.
Here's another pic of the blushes swatched on my arm.

There was another blush palette called hot spice that was more peaches and nude blushes and I thought id prefer that one but I just felt like the colours were all quite similar where as sugar and spice has a bit more variety as you get bronzy peaches, pinks and corals.
I think this palette would suit all skin tones because of the variety of shades, and will be great for summer.

Have you tried anything from makeup revolution? Whats your fave products? Leave me a comment down below :) x x x

Friday beauty haul 20/3/15

Friday beauty haul.

I'm doing a friday haul today instead of Friday favourites because I picked up these beauties today.



No7 shimmer palette rose £13.50, bourjois rouge edition AQUA Laque 02 rosé on the rocks £8.99, bourjois 123 perfect cc cream £9.99.

I've been wanting to get these for a few weeks but kept thinking no I don't need them, then today I decided I do especially since it's 3 for 2 on makeup in boots at the minute.

The only thing I tried so far out of these is the bourjois lip gloss, I don't usually like lipgloss but this isn't sticky at all it just feels really nice on the lips and has a nice shine but not too over the top like some glosses.

I also went to TK Maxx for a browse around and saw they had a Tender love + carry makeup bag and if you saw my whats in my makeup bag  post you will know I love there makeup bags and the one in Tk Maxx is the same style as the one I have but different pattern and was only £7.99 and the one I already have was £14 from john lewis so happy to get a bargain.

Real techniques brushes Nics picks

Real techniques brushes Nics picks set


I love real techniques brushes, I have some of the individual brushes and some of the sets already but out of the sets i have, this one is the best because I would actually use all the brushes instead of just 1 or 2 of them.

You can get these from superdrug, boots, very, feelunique.

What I use each brush for:
 
Duo fibre face brush:- powder and bronzer 

Cheek brush:- blush and bronzer for contouring and highlight. (Could also be used for foundation but I use a different brush for that)

Angled eyeshadow brush:- eyeshadow in the crease

Base shadow brush:- base shadow and the inner corners and brow highlight.

Eyeliner brush:- filling in my eyebrows.

Do you have this brush set? Or are you planning on getting them, What do you think of them, let me know in the comments xxxx.
