What's in my Makeup Bag?

I've been wanting to do this for quite a long time, so instead of procrastinating any longer, I thought I'd give it my best shot. I don't have the most makeup in the world, the problem is that I stick to what i know and love, which makes it extremely hard buying new makeup, because I'm forever questioning 'will it suit me?' 'how will it look?' So I tend do just buy the same products all over again. But here it is; Whats in my Makeup Bag!



So this is my makeup bag. I'm aware it's not the best and its certainly not the biggest, but I'm saving up for a Ted Baker one so this shall soon be gone, even though it's served me for around 4 years.


So as i emptied out my bag, i found that i have 3 concealers in it at the same time. I'm sure there is a reason behind this, but at the minute, I can't think why. Anyway, so this one is the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer, and this is my current favourite! The main reason I like this is because now its getting hotter, i would prefer a lighter but strong-hold concealer, and this seems to tick all the boxes for me, especially under my eyes.


If you've been here since the beginning, you'll know that I had a massive phase of loving the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, which I've slightly gone off since the warmer weather, but for some reason, it's still in here. If i have a really bad spot, i do still use this to cover it up, but i much prefer my Rimmel at the minute.


And alas, here we have Tatum's ever first concealer pen; which is probably around 3 years old and should probably be in the bin.


This is my current foundation/brush, which is the Barry M Flawless Matte Finish, which i really like, even though i don't have oily skin. Its good coverage and good long lasting power, and this brush (The Body Collection) is amazing at applying.


Next up is my Benefits Pore-fessional pore eraser, which you can apply under or over your makeup to reduce the sight of pores and to keep your makeup on for longer. I did a review about this a few posts down on my Elle magazine post, and that tells you all the ins and out, so check it outtttt.


This is my trusty old friend who has seen me through many months, and has only recently touched pan, and that is the Rimmel Stay Matte Compressed Powder, which is good if you suffer from a shiny or oily face. I use a cotton pad to apply this, because as you probably know from previous posts, my power brush is massive. So thats a little compact tip for you.


Now as i didn't know you had to change mascara every 3 months, i have had this one for over 2 years, and probably needs throwing away and burning, but i love it, so even if i do throw it away, ill probably buy it again and again. And thats the Collection 2000 (if they still do the 2000 range) Longer Lash Waterproof mascara. This helps by lashes look longer and fuller, and whats better, in this hay fever season, its waterproof, which is always good!


And last but certainly not least is my favourite step, lip balm! Whether its tinted or creamy, i have a massive obsession with the Nivea range at the minute, as they make your lips soooo soft, and it stays on through water, which i think more lip balm companies should learn to do, so if any of you lip balm creators are out there... take note. ;-)

And that's about it for my makeup bag contents, i hope you all enjoyed! I do apologies for the all-over-the-place posting, but things have been happening, then the Internet went down, and then i had to write everything, so sorry, and a regular schedule will now be maintained:) Hope you had an amazing Monday!

TQ xo
