What's In My Bag?

The bag I'm using currently was from TK Maxx and I think it was about £20. It's quite small but has about six different compartments so it's really good to keep everything organised. I absolutely love the colour of the bag.

The contents of my bag really aren't very interesting, in the main pocket I have my purse (which was a gift from a friend), my iPod (which is the newest Nano), my sunglasses which I think were from H&M and my camera. I also usually have my phone in here too.

In the other sections I have my Joules body lotion which I use as hand cream, it smells amazing. I have a lip balm, a mascara from Maybelline and a lipstick from Rimmel. And lastly I just have a few hairbands and a pen.

I Heart Drugstore Makeup Tag!

Hey guys! Today I wanted to share with you all the "I <3 Drugstore Makeup Tag" which a lot of beauty bloggers have done recently! I do love drugstore makeup and have found several products from the likes of Boots and Superdrug that I prefer to some of my high end makeup.

1.) What's your favourite drugstore brand in general?

Ah, that's really difficult! I'd have to say Revlon for eye and lip products (lip butters, eyeshadow quads etc) and Rimmel for face and cheek products (foundations, blushers, powders, etc.)

2) Favourite face/cheek/lip product?

My favourite face product is without doubt the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, I will do an entire review on why I love this product so much soon. My favourite cheek product is probably the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder which I've done a review on here. My favourite lip products are lip crayons - such as the ones from Revlon, Bourjois, Rimmel, etc. Each brand has a slightly different formula but I'm yet to find one I dislike.

3.) Least favourite product?

L'Oreal eyeshadows! They're just too chalky and not easy to blend at all.

4.) Best drugstore bargain?

Rimmel Lasting Finish Blushers, I prefer these to my Mac Blushs and they're not even a quarter of the price. Also, Maybelline mascaras, I've tried so many of these and loved them all!

5.) Favourite "underdog" product - something that often gets overlooked?

Natural Collection lipglosses! These are so cheap and I love layering them over lipsticks to give more of a glossy finish.

Also, the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Colour, I love these just as much as I love Essie and OPI!

The Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Liners! These are as good as the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners!

6.) Overpriced drugstore product?

Max Factor foundations and mascaras, far too expensive for the quality.

7.) Best drugstore dupe?

The Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoos, so much cheaper than the likes of Mac Paint Pots and Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows and I think I might even prefer the Maybelline version!

8.) Product that isn't worth the hype?

EOS Lip Balms, I think most of the hype of this product surrounds the appearance rather than the actual product!

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed :)

This Or That? Beauty Tag

Today I wanted to do the "this or that?" beauty tag which is lots of fun. I'd love to know your answers to some of these questions. Hope you enjoy.

Makeup:

Blush or Bronzer?

Difficult one but I'm going to have to say bronzer!

Lipgloss or Lipstick?

I think I prefer lipstick as they can be glossy anyway :)

Mascara or Eyeliner?

Mascara, definitely!

Gel or Liquid Eyeliner?

Gel Eyeliner I think, simply because I find it a bit easier to apply.

Neutral or Bright Eyeshadow?

Neutral for sure!

Foundation or Concealer?

Difficult one, I'd say foundation probably.

Liquid or Powder Foundation?

Liquid.

Brushes or Sponges?

Brushes.

Body:
Perfume or Body Spray?

Perfume in the winter, body spray in the summer.

Body Lotion or Body Butter?

Body butter!

Body Wash or Soap?

Body wash

Fashion:
Jeans or Sweatpants?

Jeans for the most part, sweatpants for any days I'm not leaving the house.

Long Sleeve or Short?

I love layering so I'd say short sleeve with a cardigan or such!

Dresses or Skirts?

I think that dresses look like you've made a lot more effort and yet are so easy to style, so I'd have to say dresses.

Flip Flops or Sandals?

Sandals

Necklaces or Bracelets?

I don't wear that much jewellery actually, but I'll say bracelets.

Heels or Flats?

I'm very short so heels!

Scarves or Hats?

Scarves, I don't think I can pull off hats :(

Coat or Hoodie?

I adore hoodies, I can never have enough!

Abercrombie or Hollister?

Literally can't choose between the two!

H&M or New Look?

I love them both and probably have about the same amount of clothes from each, so can I say both?

Hair:
Curly or Straight?

I have naturally straight hair but I prefer curly.

Bun or Ponytail?

Ponytail probably.

Hairspray or Hair Gel?

Hairspray although I actually don't use it very often, hate the way it makes my hair feel!

Long or Short?

Long hair definitely, I have relatively long hair and it can be quite a hassle but I just think it looks a lot nicer.

Light or Dark?

I have blonde hair, but I'm going to say dark.

Up or Down?

Down, I very rarely wear my hair up!

Random:
Rain or Shine?

Shine of course :)

Summer or Winter?

Hmm, I love October - December for the lead up to Christmas and New Year.

Autumn or Spring?

Autumn.

East or West Coast?

I'm British and I've only ever been to the East Coast so that has to be my answer.
