5 Inexpensive Everyday Products in my Makeup Bag

21/04/2017

 My Makeup Bag

5 Inexpensive products in my makeup bag I can't live without

what's in my makeup bag?

What’s in my makeup bag? I so enjoy reading about the contents of other people’s makeup bags, so today I am writing one of my own…would you care to take a nose?

I use very little makeup, the older I get the less I use.

When I was younger I wore heaps of it. Can you believe as a Air stewardess in the eighties, we were reprimanded if we did not have our lipstick on during a flight!

Lately I have become fascinated with new cosmetic products. Technology has come so far and I always hope for a product that will work a miracle and make me look 10 years younger. My wonderful Nan used to say a smile will always do that and I agree, dont you?

Smiling aside, would you like to see what’s in my bag?

1. Revlon Insta Blush:

what's in my makeup bag? Revlon Insta blush

I found this via a recommendation from Sali Hughes, the renowned makeup artist and beauty journalist.

As I have aged, my skin has become dryer and powder blush does not give the ‘blooming  look I strive for. This cream blush on a pop up stick is so sheer and soft it feels like velvet and I sometimes wear it on my lips too, for a quick pick me up! I purchased it in my local boots, this colour is theSali recommends, its called ‘Berry Kiss’ and costs £9.99

2. Bobbi Brown Art Stick:

what's in my makeup bag? Bobbi Brown

I love a chunky pencil (especially when it comes with a free pencil sharpener!) I use this as a lipliner and lipstick all in one, it’s soft, very natural looking and quick to apply. I have even used it for a slick of eyeshadow too as it is a brown-rosie colour. I have the colour in ‘Bare’ or no. C56.  this costs £21.50 ok, not cheap but definitely inexpensive as it is a lipliner and lipstick all in one? I use this all the time, plus it comes with a very handy pencil sharpener! I bought mine online from the Bobbi Brown website.

3.4. & 5. For your eyes only!

3. Do you want a Mascara for thin lashes that is not too gunky? this one from 17 one does it for me. £6.29 from Boots.

4. EyeKo fat eyeliner/shadow pen. I use this as an eyeliner or shadow the colour is a very dark grey so it works for everyday wear too. For going out I just apply more. £16 for a set of three, in brown black and smoke or grey.

5. More Brows from Model Co (this used to be sold in Superdrug?) I comb it through my brows even if I’m not wearing makeup that day. For a ‘tidy’ look. £13.00 from the model Co website.

…….

Plus two bonus products that are also in my bag, not cheap but worth every penny and I love them…

what's in my makeup bag?

Chanel lipstick in a natural lip colour called Rouge Coco no 402 ‘Adrienne’ £28.00 and my newest most amazing foundation called ‘Light wonder’ by Charlotte Tilbury. Spf 15 it’s as light as air! I bought this in Fenwicks dept store london for £32.00

So this is what is in my makeup bag…

I would love to know if you have any cheaper products that you love, any recommendations for me? I recently wrote about my favourite bath and beauty products too

I’m finally getting back to writing and more importantly enjoying writing blog posts! 
This week I’ve written about how you can save money by buying tablecloths instead of fabric when sewing linen. 
In case you don’t sew I’ve also included a few linen dresses and comfy wide trousers (my next make )for you to peruse too. 
Let me know what you think, it’s a short read and you can find the link in my stories and in my bio under ‘latest blog post’

Lurking in old alleys & having a good hair day. 
Wearing my handmade version of an Arket kaftan dress. Challenged myself to see if I could do it. I did, win win. My version cost £30 theirs was £69. My friend Amanda  @simply.start.living has the real deal and the linen is much nicer. But overall it’s a fair copy of the original (imo) what say you? 
.
Fabric a linen mix from @sew__jessalli used the #arraytop pattern @papercutpatterns I also made a belt for it.

This little boy is nearly 11 years old. The time has flown. He is healthy for his age but is beginning to suffer with arthritis. 
He finds all the best soft squishy cushions to lay on and loves this Moroccon pouffe!
We are reasearching care of older dogs and wondering if anyone has advice on making life easier for arthritic older dogs. Any suggestions very much appreciated. The vet suggested anti inflammatory meds.
