What's In My Travel Makeup Bag?

Hello everyone, hope you're all well! I thought I would do a little post on what's currently in my travel makeup bag, and that I've generally been using on a daily basis. I find these posts really interesting to read as I love to see the products people are trying out, current favourites and little gems they love to use. I tend to keep the majority of my makeup in my dressing table drawers but get into a routine of using the same products, which I carry around to touch up on during the day. Lately I've been loving a more fresh, natural look although a bold lip in autumn is an essential. My makeup bag is also from Ted Baker and reminds me slightly of the Tardis as it's bigger on the inside, fitting lots of makeup.
 
 The Contents:
Benefit Porefessional
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation
Soap and Glory Glow All Out Powder
Catrice Liquid Metal Eye Shadow in Gold n' Roses*
Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara
Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake*
Topshop Lipstick in Wicked*

My Everyday Makeup Bag || The Contents of My Face

 
Hello everyone, hope you're all well! I'm currently writing this whilst sipping on a hot chocolate and snuggled in my slanket (best not to ask), two signs that Autumn has well and truly arrived! Now for today's post I thought I'd show you the current contents of my makeup bag, A.K.A my face. These posts are some of my favourite to read along with makeup collections and the sort. It's always nice to have a little nosey and see what people are currently loving enough to use on a daily basis! This bag gets switched up every now and again and extremely subtle makeup is needed during school term hence the lack of bronzer and liquid eyeliner.
 
Firstly I take a small amount of the Porefessional and pat it around my nose and the centre of my face. This is great at minimizing the appearance of pores as well as creating a smooth base for foundation to be applied upon. In terms of getting your makeup to last longer however, I have never noticed a considerable difference. I then move on to the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum which has extremely light coverage and is perfect for school. When blended with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush it creates a very natural, skin like feel. If I have any blemishes to cover I will always reach for the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which everyone and their cat's best friend blogs on about so I'll leave it there. To finish off my base, I dust some MUA Pressed Powder around my face, focusing on my t-zone. If I was going to school I'd curl my lashes, apply some Soap and Glory A Great Kisser Lip Balm* and be off.
 
During the weekend however, I like to apply a bit more makeup. Topshop's cream blush in Head Over Heels is a gorgeous coral that brightens up the dullest of complexions. For the eyes I usually blend Maybelline's Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze all over the lid, smudge Jack Wills Black Eyeliner in my upper water line and use two coats of They're Real mascara for a fuller lash effect. I've been loving MAC Creme Cup lately which is the perfect accompany to a casual weekend makeup look.
