Hey Everyone!! Just an insight to what I put on my face every normal day!! - enjoy.

Clear make-up bag // Superdrug £2.99
I love this bag so much! It's so handy for seeing everything inside, you can clean it, it fits as much or as little as you want and perfect for travelling as well as being a total bargain!

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - 001 ivory // £6.99
After countless disappointing  foundations this one is so far my favourite, I have oily/combination skin and I find this foundation stays on for a longer period than any others I have tried. This foundation really suits my skin tone (main point of 'match perfection') which surprised me as it is the same colour as my previous Rimmel Wake Me Up which did not suit me at all. I find it easy to blend and I really like the smell! So I will be looking to re-purchase this when I run out.

Collection (2000) concealer - shade 2 // £4.19 
I am surprised at the price of this as when I bought it it was £2.99!...Anyway this was so raved about on majority of blogs & YouTube so thought I must give it a try! I agree in that it covers well and long lasting and great for it's value, but I found as it dried on my face the colour didn't match very well, where my foundation began to fade during the day the concealer stuck, a down side of this is as the colour wasn't great and looked strange and patchy. I am continuing to try and work with this concealer under my eyes as it covers dark circles well but personally I won't be using it on spots/imperfections! I would still recommend this as it seems to work better for a lot of people and is rather cheap.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - 001 transparent // £3.99
I'll keep this one short and sweet!...I love this, does what it says. It matte-ifys my oily areas and keeps my foundation on longer. I have re-purchased this many times and will continue on into the future and I love how great it is for it's value. Every day must have.

MUA eye palette - undress me too // £4
I love this palette, this and the original are meant to be dupes for the urban decay naked palettes which I am not fortunate enough to own so this it brill! Its a whole range of neutral mattes and shimmers that are all so wearable, I like mixing it up day to day as so many looks can be created with this! (I also use the light matte brown for my eye brows) They're not the best pigmentation but I can't complain as it's such great value at less than 20p a colour!

Maybelline The Falsies - Black // £7.99
This is by far one of my all time favourite mascaras! I love the effect it gives and is so easy to apply with nearly never any clumps, I love that it's build able depending on how many coats you apply. I find staying power isn't great after a long busy day but I'm not too fussed about that!, over all I love it.
OR
Benefit They're Real // £19.50
At almost £20 it's a lot to pay for a mascara however I was fortunate enough to receive a benefit voucher for my birthday so only paid £5, I really love this mascara, I never get any clumps and doesn't move at all through out the day. I love the effect it gives and I can see why people love it so much. I like this product as much as Maybelline The Falsies, so it's a great cheaper alternative.

Maybelline Gel liner //  £7.99
I really love this as it is so versatile, I can wear it on my waterline or on my upper lash line  and it stays put all day. I definitely prefer it to the other liquid liners available as it's easier to apply and drys quicker. It can be used lightly to define the eyes, or can create a cat-eye effect and be smudged to create a smokey eye. I comes with a brush which works fine but personally I think using an angled brush works more effectively.

Bert's Bees lip balm - Mango // £3.69
I think this is quite a lot of money to pay for what is it, but I am very pleased with it. I am definitely a lip balm junkie and this has become my go-to lip balm and almost run out (which is rare of a lip balm!!) I don't tend to wear a lip colour on a day to day basis I just go for a balm.This one in particular is so nourishing, the Mango drew me to this as love the scent, it didn't smell as I hoped but I still really liked it.

H&M double ended eye brush // £1.99
This brush is great value for what is is, you get an angles brush at one end which I use for my eyebrows, then a 'smokey eye' brush at the other which is great for patting colours on the eye-lid and in the crease.

Real Techniques expert face brush // £8.99
I was so desperate to try real techniques brushes as they have been so raved about so finally decided on this one. I love this so much! it feels so soft applying foundation and as it is synthetic hardly any foundation is wasted in the brush. I use this all the time now and I am really looking forward to getting some more.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed or gained something from this.

Love, Ellen x
