What's in my make-up bag?

Whilst writing this, I'm also in the process of packing to go and see my grandparents for a couple of days. I thought this was the perfect chance to show you all what's in my make-up bag.

First of all here's a quick overview of the contents...

My make-up bag is from Superdrug, and is perfect for packing as a its triangular, so it works perfectly for filling spaces!

Ok, so brushes, I apply my BB Cream and concealer by hand at the moment, as it's proving to be a good method! So from L-R there's Revlon powder brush, Real Techniques Buffing brush (currently using for applying blusher), Real Techniques Stippling brush (Using this for cheek highlight), Real Techniques Contour brush (Used for contouring!), Revlon Flat eyeshadow brush, MAC 224, Kryloan angled brush (which I use for filling my brows in), and 2 MAC 217s (One for crease work, and one as a brow highlight).

Palettes - These tend to vary depending on my mood/look I want, but at the moment, this is what's on my face. Urban Decay Naked palette (I've hit pan on a fair few, need to decide if it's worth a repurchase or not!) HD Brows (This is the vamp palette, and I use the dark brown in the bottom left), Soap & Glory bronzer (this came in a set my sister got a couple of Christmases ago, it's not my favourite, but its also not orange when I apply to my face, so I'll keep going with it.) MUA Highlighter (I love this product, it gives such a beautiful natural glow to my skin, a must if you like a dewy look) The next product is a skin toned eyeshadow for my brow highlight, and finally MUA Blusher in Candyfloss (A little goes a long way with this, but it's a beautiful colour if you want a lightly flushed look on your cheeks).

Face and Eye products - A current favourite, Garnier BB Cream for Oily skin, this stuff is brilliant, I prefer using it instead of foundation, regardless if it's summer or not. For primer I'm currently using Garnier 5 Sec Perfect Blur (My sister bought this, and didn't like it, but I love how my skin looks with it on) Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, MUA Eyeshadow Primer (This is as good as any high end primer, if not better!) MUA Clear (well it was) Mascara, I use this to set my brows in place. Then there's my new Revlon eyelash curler, I'm not liking this one as much as I liked the original one. Following that, are my eyeliners, Revlon brown Khol eyeliner, and Maybelline precise liquid liner pen. Finally is a must try product, Maybelline The Rocket mascara, this has blown Benefit's They're Real out of the water! 

Finally my setting powder, this is normally decanted into a small tub, but I've yet to do that with this one! It's Kryloan Loose powder, it's translucent, and it keeps my make-up in place all day, without it looking caked on. 

Like any girl my make-up bag contents does vary, but these are the products I'm loving at the moment! Now off to finish packing!
