What’s in my daily makeup bag?

As we’ve started a new year I've cleared out my old Primarni makeup bag of all the tatty eyeshadow applicators, used up mascaras and crusty old lipsticks. Okay; so it sounds worse than it was but I've now put all my basic makeup essentials all in my brand spanking new Cath Kidston makeup bag which I received for Christmas.

Contents include…

Perfect Eyebrow kit,

NYC Smooth Skin bronzer in Sunny,

Garnier BB cream in light,

Collection 2000 lasting perfection powder in fair,

A waterproof mascara for £1.99?!!

I am officially now on the hunt for a good waterproof mascara for my holidays in 4weeks time! Eeeek!

Please excuse the bags under my eyes it was extremely early and I had a late night! This is with just one coat of the mascara.

Two coats

This mascara is a great natural looking mascara although I would like it too be a bit more dramatic and volumised. Although for the beach this really defines and lengthens my lashes without being clumpy or spidery looking. The formula isn't dry or too wet it's just right and not thick like clumpy mascaras can have. Surprisingly at how basic the wand is I do really like it, it coats each and every lash however it doesn't really lengthen as much as other mascaras do. For me this isn't really a problem as I have naturally long lashes but for someone with short lashes BE WARY!

I do recommend this as a waterproof mascara if like me you only buy cheap drugstore for a 2week holiday every year then it gets thrown in the bin. This is brilliant for that and is very waterproof for its price! But if you wear waterproof mascaras on a daily basis then this maybe isn't for you.

The NYC Show time volumizing waterproof mascara is avaliable here. Or in Superdrug for £1.99.

Review: Rimmel Wake me up Foundation

After seeing all the hype about this foundation I thought it was about time I tried it out! I've actually been using this foundation since it had came out, well a week or two after. So, I thought it was about time a review was in order...

Firstly I love the packaging! Simple and sleek in the glass bottle yett fun with the bright orange lid and my favourite a pump! I hate those foundations that you have too whack out of the jar. Packaging: 9/10

What it claims too do...
Visibly reawakens and illuminates skin with a radiant glow and a flawless natural looking finish. Instant anti-fatigue effect. With peptides and a vitamin Moisturising complex.

What it does...
This foundation feels thick and moisturising when being appllied too the skin but feels lightweight when set giving a dewy finish. Therefore me with oily skin started too panic! When I wear this foundation i have too powder twice a day and still end up looking 'dewy' which isn't a bad thing but its not brilliant either.

I find this foundation amazing on dry patches and I think it would be amazing on dry skin but for me I find it sliding off my face within about 5hours. I really do love the amount of coverage this foundation gives me and will definatley be saving it for the winter months when my skin is dry!

Overall I'd give this a 6.5/10 but would definatley recommend it too people with dry skin! You can purchase it from Boots and Superdrug for £8.99 here.
