What's in my makeup bag!

This is an updated "what's in my makeup bag" post, which is one my favourite kind of posts to do and read on other blogs. I last did one in March (see here), and looking back, most of my day to day items have changed.

This is what I keep in my makeup bag at the moment:

Right, a breakdown of the products...


The makeup bag was a gift from my aunt, and I just think it's really pretty :)

The face products:

MAC mineralize blush in Warm Soul, Boiing concealer in 01, Benefit Stay Don't Stray, Stila blush in Bud, NARS cream blush in Penny Lane, MAC blush in The Perfect Cheek

The eye products:

Buxom eyeshadow in Pug, MAC Opulash mascara, Stila smudge pot in Black Cat, NARS soft touch shadow pencil in Goddess, YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils mascara

Lip products:

Buxom plumping lip balm in Copacabana, Korres lip butter in Jasmine, YSL Gloss Volupte in 6, YSL Rouge Pur Transparent in 22, Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in 76

Desirable eyeshadow palettes...

Guerlain Ombre Eclat 4 shade eyeshadow (£37)

 

Les 4 Ombres Christmas Collection Quadra Eye Shadow (£35

Bobbi Brown Smoky, Sultry, Smoldering collection (£34)

Dior Five Golds Eyeshadow Quint (£39)

 

YSL Five Colour eyeshadow in Garden of Eden (£39)

Shu Uemura Limited Edition Dreamy Petal palette (£49)

 

Giorgio Armani Eye palette (£39)



I'm dying for a new eyeshadow palette, and I have been drooling over all of the above, but I can't decide which one to get... they are all so pretty!

I'm leaning towards the Dior one, just because I have a few other Dior palettes and I love the quality, but maybe I should try something different this time...

Any recommendations? :)

NARS Penny Lane

This is my favourite blush of the moment!

This nude pink cream blush is absolutely gorgeous on my (now) winter pale skin. It is so creamy and easy to blend, it works as a blush on its own or as a base for a powder blush, and it gives me natural and healthy looking glowy skin. New FAVOURITE!!!

And I use this brush from Sephora to apply my dear Penny Lane:

#45

Together they are magic :D

What is your current go-to blush?

Lanvin ♥ H&M lipsticks

I spotted the top picture on Silje's blog and got very excited. 4 Lavin lipstick colours! I want the pink one, the nude and maybe the red one...



Edit:
As far as I can tell the lipsticks will retail for £7.99.

Will you be picking up a Lanvin lipstick on the 23rd of November?

A must-have!

NARS Sweet Disposition Set

A collection of three mini multiples for eyes, lips, and cheeks.

Shades:

♥ Orgasm – Peachy Pink With Shimmer

♥ Luxor – Iridescent Pink

♥ Malibu – Pinkish Brown

I know it's a mini set, but 3 multiples should last you a while, and for just £32...amazing deal!!!

Somebody please give me this for Christmas... :)

Updated makeup storage using my new MUJI drawers!

I owe you all a HUGE thank you for your tips on my Blogger Help post the other day.

A lot of people told me to go and look at the MUJI website, and sure enough there they were, the storage drawers that I have been hunting for!

I tracked down the shop (in the Trafford Centre, for those of you living near Manchester)

and purchased a set of 4 double drawers (£7.95 each).

I am SO happy with them, but of course I waaaaaaaay underestimated the amount of drawers I need to house all of my makeup, so I need to take another trip to MUJI and buy some more soon :)

Anyway, for now I am using the clear drawers for my everyday/go-to makeup of the moment,
as it is so easy to find and organise.

Some pictures:

Now I just need to buy drawers enough to store all of my blushes, which are still kept in the old box...

And the remaining face and eye products that I don't normally use on an everyday basis...

I will probably need another 5-6 double drawers :D

How do you store your makeup?





♥

I want...

DIOR ADDICT LIP GLOW

Dior states:

A made-to-measure lip balm that beautifies and durably enhances the lips’ natural color.

A customized color result : thanks to its Color Reviver technology, Dior Addict Lip Glow reacts directly with the unique chemistry of each woman’s lips before releasing its color ingredient. Lips seem revived from within, amazingly fresh, full and radiant.

In addition, its SPF10 formula enriched with wild mango and luffa cylindrica continuously protects and moisturizes. A universal balm for all lips.

I have heard a few people recommend this, and it seems like a wonderful product for everyday use in work.

But I'm also thinking about the price... £20 (something) for what sounds like a tinted lip balm - it needs to be GOOD!

Have you tried this? Would you recommend it? Do I really need this? ;)

Lauren looks cute, as always!

Love the little style tips, the makeup & clothes and of course the famous Lauren winged eyeliner look :)

Blogger Help: Where can I get the clear cube makeup storage in the UK?

I desperately want one of these:

Would be SO perfect for all of my makeup!

Lots of US gurus and makeup lovers own these, but unfortunately I have not seen anything like this in Manchester :(

Anybody know where I can buy one of these (or similar clear drawers) from in the UK? Preferably not online, but in an actual shop...

I want, I need...HELP!
