What's In My Makeup Bag??

I wanted to share with you the state of my make up bag ( its awful! ) but mainly what is actually in it, most of it i don't actually need in there i just seem to always put it back in there if i put it away. Most of these things I've had for a while, there isn't really any new make up I've bought for a while. I seem to be on a huge skincare rave at the moment! 
Basically my make up bag is a wash bag, i just wanted a simple but big enough storage bag just for my general day to day make up ( there's a lot more then day to day! ) so i thought id just go for a black boring thing! 
Link here - http://www.superdrug.com/make-up/superdrug-cosmetic-bag/invt/220570&bklist= (£4.99)

I thought id just put the link because if your interested in a boring make up bag you can check it out but i thought there was no point to put a photo of mine up. Trust me it's not exciting at all! 
I'm not going to go into detail on things because we will be here forever.
But these are the products i roughly use every day, things just change depending on how i feel or where I'm going, but most of the time the looks are just the same. 
Blushers: -Sleek (Sahara), -Sleek (Rose Gold) 
Primers: Avon (eyeshadow primer) Benefit (porefessional) 
Eyeshadow: Urban Decay (Naked 2) Mua ( undressed)

Wish list- Make up

I'm going to start a mini series, where i say what products are on my ' wish list ' so products that i really want to try, and hopefully will eventually. 
Today is the first of 5. And of course i have to start of with make up! 
This series is just going to be purely drugstore just in case anyone wondered!

I really want to try a nice foundation and concealer, when i was younger i had really bad skin and now it does seem to be improving, it must just be with age.
I've heard great things about these 2 products so really cant wait to get my hands on them! 
Bourjois Healthy mix serum foundation
Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer





Sadly where i live the local ' Super drug ' dont stock ' Sleek ' So when i visit anywhere i also check it out but i really want to try their eyeliners!
Sleek Eau la la 
i would love to try their noir as an obvious but also would like to be daring and go for their raisin colour too. 



I will make sure i own one of these very soon. Its the ' Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain ' ( That's a mouth full ) 
i like the colour ' Honey 1 '


I know these post seem a little boring but i cant exactly comment on a product that i haven't even tried but if any of you have tried them and dont think they are worth trying let me know! 
Your comments would be much appreciated.

2013 is over!

What a year 2013 was, Not only for me but for the beauty industry. Lots of new products ( still a lot I want to try ) And some things that I never will own. 
Starting off on a few things that I have tried and love or hated. 
' Rimmel Baby Lips '
There was so much hype over these new lip balms with colour, and i was so excited to try them. Sadly it was a while after they were launched in the UK that i could try them because my local stores weren't stocking them. Amazingly my partner actually ordered me one of the internet to my surprise.
I actually have tried the one ' cherry me ' it has a very vibrant tint of pink, which is very nice. I also found that after a while it left it stain to my lips which was quite annoying because it is very moisturising for my lips but the staining is annoying. I do like the product though and would like to try the other ones, that is the only down side though. 
' Rimmel stay matte foundation '
I LOVE this product, it is one of the best foundations i have used in a long time, i have used it constantly and surprising it lasts a very long time. A little goes a long way, it is amazing at hiding redness and blemishes and does everything i want a foundation to do. So obviously i cant ask for anything more in a product. I will also buy this again and again, as i have loved it constantly. 
I dont think there any products that have been launched this year that i've actually tried apart from the two above.
Products i want to try and have heard great things about
' rimmel appoclips '

' boujour colour boost lip crayons '
' revlon just bitten lip stain '
' revlon just bitten kissable balms '
These are things that i am wanting to try very soon.
i would love to get a ' Urban Decay Naked pallet ' too this year especially as the ' NAKED 3 ' launched in 2013. 

Let me know what products you have tried last year and loved.

New foundation!!!!

It's a new foundation :), I bought this and I don't even think I knew what I was buying, because as soon as I got it home and opened it, I realised it was actually the one I wanted, as I had seen quite a few adverts etc about it and thought it was great. So you can imagine my huge smiling excited face when I opened it and actually realised that it was a better purchase than I originally thought :) 
It's ' collections cover and go ' 
As you can see on the picture it has a mirror and concerlar included. 

 sadly when I used it i didnt like it. So what a dossapointed that was. It was stickyish. It's hard to explain it didn't make my face cakey, it did have a weird smell. Not exactly bad, but not very nice either. The concerlar seemed ok under the eyes, but on spots it was terrible! It made no difference what so ever. The foundation stuck to dry patches making them look even worse. I think it was about £5, so I was a little dissapointed with the results but I guess I'll get over it, And try for another one :), 
Obviously everyone has their favourite foundations, but we all need to try something new every now and again. 
Has anyone tried gosh cc creame? Because I want a lighter coverage foundation/ moisturiseriser and that was the product I picked up to start with. So maybe that will be reviewed next week! 
Thanks for reading as always,

Sorry everyone!

I

Hey everyone. I'm sorry for last night :( I promised a post but I fell asleep because I was I pain! Sorry. I will make it up to you and do 3 wonderful posts today! ( well ill try ) this post will be all about concearlers that I like and don't. 
      I have 2 from collection 2000. The most obvious one that everyone goes on about blah blah blah. It's the last perfection. This one is the best one I've personally used. It's about £4.99 on average in the uk. Obviously I'm not sure about everywhere else. the only thing is the writing doesn't last, within a week my bottle is plain. 
 
The next one is the other one from this brand. I quite like this one you have to twist it and the product comes out of the Brissell bit at the top. This one is also the same price. 
 I have a few others the superstay 24hr from maybelline. It's ok but I wouldn't buy again. It does not last 24hr not that any do but they shouldn't promote something not true. 
The picture underneath is all in one from the body shop. It's £8 ish and not very good I wouldn't reccommend it. And I won be buyin it again
