So what is here is actually the bare basics I bought to tide me over until I go back home tomorrow for Mother day weekend and finally get my real makeup bag back.
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, Sand - I have been obsessed with this foundation for ages! & to be honest it is one of the very few that doesn't cause me to break out in spots or give me dry skin. I think my favorite thing about this foundation is the texture, its so smooth and creamy!
MUA Heaven & Earth pallet - Fast becoming my favorite pallet, I think we're all familiar with this particular one. Its gorgeously pigmented & perfect for everyday. Personally even on a night out I tend to use brown and natural shades. I just darken my pallet for a night time look.
MUA blusher , shade 1 - I pretty much bought this because it was £1 and my usual Nars Orgasm (another product I'm sure you all know!) But its really pigmented, as you would expect from MUA, and the shade is a pretty candy pink color against my pale skin. MUA Pro-Brow, ultimate eyebrow kit - I kinda just jumped on the bandwagon with this one. I wanted a decent brow kit but didn't really want to pay too much (poor student n'all) But I have to admit, I absolutely love it! Again, highly pigmented and the gel is great for staying power. MUA Mega Volume Mascara - I bought this as a cheap alternative to my usual Scandaleyes Mascara when I reaslised my makeup bag was back in Liverpool. Its the one things I seriously cannot cope without. I have naturally white eyelashes and look so odd without mascara! MUA Black Noir eyeliner - Great eyeliner for £1, as you can see my obsession with MUA is growing! I love the fact they have the pencil sharpened on the lid, its unbelievably handy. I also have the liquid eyeliner somewhere lurking in my room which I use for night time looks, but my room is such a mass of samples and bottles I can't actually find it! MUA Lipstick, Shade 15 Juicy - I LOVE this lipstick. Although the staying power isn't great. I'm a huge coffee drinker so it wears off pretty fast. BUT the shade is stunning. I'm a big fan of pale pink lipsticks, with my pale skin it looks very natural and girly. I feel the only bright color I can get away with are deep reds. Otherwise I stick to pinks. Rimmel Apocalips, 102 Nova - Jumped on the bandwagon! I've bought this and a gorgeous red one for my Mama for her birthday (I hope she likes it!!) I have to say I've really fell in love with Apocalips and plan on buying more of the range as soon as I'm paid. If you haven't tried them yet, I definitely recommend you do, they're really reasonably priced and their staying power is amazing for a lacqure _______________________________________ So that is my emergency makeup bag! I will make sure I do a proper post on my real makeup bag after this weekend as I promise there is a little more variety other than just MUA! Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
