Most of the products can be found in various drug stores, and they are very affordable. I don't normally carrying my higher end products with me just in case I lose them or I break them ( I'm rather clumsy)
This blusher is perfect if you are on the move and you need a little touch up. It has a combo of light to dark pinks with an added highlighter so it's two in one! It gives a subtle look which is perfect if you are a pale ghost like me, but can also be built up. It has a beautiful shimmer too, which makes you look like you have a healthy glow. It also has a handy little mirror which is an added bonus.
If you are looking for the most gorgeous smelling lipgloss this is your winner! This lip gloss from collection is one of my January favourites, I literally bring it everywhere with me. It's a really girly pink which just makes your lips pop! It's also perfect if you have very minimal make up. I tend to wear it when I have no eye shadow on and I'm going for a plain face day. It just adds a bit of colour to not make your face look so dull. Perfect for light skin. This also works really well with different shades of pink lip sticks if you are looking for a bit of glossiness this is a must have!
Yes another Collection product. I have so many pink lipsticks it's unreal but I tend to carry this one with me just because it's rather cheap but still really good quality. Once again this is a really lovely girly colour which is great if you are going for a minimal look. I just find it really subtle and just a lovely colour. It compliments my skin tone as well and doesn't make me look washed out. I find it hard to find tones to make my very pale skin tone so I find pinks are perfect to add to any look.
If you are a very pale it can be hard to find drug store foundations to match your skin tone, because believe or not they don't have a tone called 'ghostly white' but this matches my skin tone quite well. Nobody likes an orange face now. I usually wear Mac's studio fix, but this has to be 3rd on my list of great foundations. It's a rather heavy coverage so I don't recommend wearing it with powder because I think it just ends up looking cakey and looks like you have a second layer of skin on your face. I do find that it lasts all day so it's worth a try if you are thinking of trying a new alternitive foundation.
Love Love LOVE THIS! if you love natural shadows this is the palette for you! Beautiful shades of golds, browns and an added pink also! The light beige colour if perfect for a base colour. These colours blend so well together to create a natural look too a smokey eye evening look. They also have colour palettes avavible which are also very stunning!
I'm not going to lie, this isn't the world greatest mascara, in fact I was rather disappointed in it. However the brush is great for separating your lashes and makes them look long and not clumpy. I use this with my next mascara which is.......
This mascara is rather expensive but does the trick if you are looking for a fuller looking lash. The brush is rather large and I find it hard sometimes to do the corners of my lashes and the bottom of my lashes, hence why I match this with the collection mascara for a fuller but natural look.
Now time for the brushes.......
All of these brushes are Real Techniques brushes. I find Real Techniques really do give high end brushes a run for their money. These are amazing. The bristles don't fall out! They last a long time, and they apply your make up perfectly? And they are very affordable ! I highly recommend you get some of these now!!!!!!!
But I'm not going to tak about these too much for now because my next post might invole them..... Oooo suspense!
Hope you guys have a fabulous week !

Your make up bag is amazing! I have also been coveting the Rimmel foundation and the Barry M eyeshadows, I love that the coverage lasts for ages!
