I thought i'd share with you all a sneak glimpse of what I am enjoying using at the moment. Our makeup bags are forever changing and new products are constantly finding their way into our makeup collections, I love looking at what new products people are enjoying so I hope you enjoy having a nosy through my makeup bag at the moment!
I have included both high-end and drug-store make up in this post so whether you're on a budget or looking for some more luxurious products, you can all gain some ideas from this post.
Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser £37
This is hands down the best tinted moisturiser I have ever tried. First of all, a little bit really does go a long way with this product so it lasts for a very long time! This tinted moisturiser gives me a fresh faced 'no makeup' look as well as giving my face a slight tint and light covering which helps even out any uneven skin tones. It gives my skin a healthy, duey looking finish which I love! Before using this I had never really liked using tinted moisturisers as they just sat on my face and did nothing, however this has completely changed my opinion.
Nivea men aftershave balm £5.35
Now this may seem very strange but I have recently discovered from the many youtube videos I watch that this is a great, cheaper alternative for a foundation primer. When I tried it I found that it made my face feel fresh and smooth and also had a lovely fresh smell to it. It has glycerine in it so it is smoothing and moisturising making it a perfect primer!
Make Up Forever 'Full Cover extreame camoflauge cream' £21
This is a concealer I wanted to try out for ages as I had heard about the very high coverage. It is said to be good for covering extreme markings on the skin and even tattoos so I knew it would be a brilliant concealer before I even got my hands on it! I love this product and it definitley lives up to my expectations, however because this is such a thick formula it is not the best for under the eyes as it tends to crease a little bit.

Benefit 'Hello Flawless!' powder foundation £25.50
I have recently re-discovered this product in my makeup collection. I really like how this powder doesn't make my skin look dry like most powders tend to do. It is a little bit darker than my skin tone so I use a tiny bit to stop me looking overly shiny and to warm my skin tone up. I like how you can use this powder as a sheer finish or build it up to be a heavier, flawless coverage depending on what you want. It has a lot of product in there and lasts a long time and has lovely packaging with a large mirror inside and a little sponge/brush (I don't use this brush but it's good for on the go!)
CharlotteTilbury 'Filmstar Bronze & Glow', Face Sculpt and Highlight £49
CharlotteTilbury 'Filmstar Bronze & Glow', Face Sculpt and Highlight £49
This has two amazing products in one, a perfect contour and a subtle highlighter with light shimmers. The highlighter is not overly glittery like some which I like and the contour colour is very pigmented meaning a little goes a long way. I use this for a lighter, subtle everyday look as well as a more built- up contoured face for nights out. The rose gold packaging is also lovely to look at!
Bobbi Brown shimmer brick eye palette in 'raw sugar' £35
This is the perfect mini palette to carry around with you, it has warmed tones golds and browns which are all so easy to wear. I tend to just use a small bit of the light gold tones for a wash of colour over my eyelids for a simple, quick look. The colours are so pigmented and very creamy when applying.

No7 'beautiful eyebrow' sculpting pencil £8
This pencil is a bit old and battered but it is my all time favourite for my brows. I find this so easy to use with the sharpened pencil and brush on the other end. I find pencils the most easiest to use as you can be quite precise with them and shape your eyebrows exactly how you want without them going wrong! I have to admit im not the best at doing my eyebrows but with this I find it much easier. This exact pencil is not actually sold anymore, however they have a newer updated version which is just the same!

Bourjouis Liner Feutre felt tip liner in '11 noir' £6.99
Felt tip liners are my favourite as I find them so easy to use. I find this one doesn't move or budge throughout the day like other drugstore ones I have tried. The colour is a strong, dark black which I use for bold, dark flicks if I want a more dramatic eye look. If you are looking for a cheap felt tip liner, I would 100% recommed this one!

Befefits 'Rollerlash' mascara £19.50
This super curling and lifting mascara is my new fave. I find that I don't have to use curlers when using this mascara as it curls my lashes perfectly. This mascara also gives a lot of length to my eyelashes and the dark black colour makes them stand out more.

Urban Decay glide on eye pencil in 'stag' (from a travel size of five £25)
I receieved this mini travel set (in 'cosmic') around Christmas time and especially loved this shade. This colour is a substitute to a darker black if you want a more natural look or find black is too dark for you. These eyeliners are so soft and glide on the eyes so smoothly, however because they are so soft, they do not last very long.

YSL 'Rouge Volupte' lipstick in '1 Nude Beige'
This is a light nude pink which is perfect for everyday use. Although I love this lipstick, the formula is not good if you have dry lips and so I find myself having to apply lip balm before using it. This colour is very light and so wouldn't suit all skin tones, however there is a big selection of colours so everyone can find their perfect shade. These lipsticks also have gorgeous packaging which made me instantly want one!
