Travel essentials // Part 2 // Makeup

Hello darlings.

A couple of weeks ago i posted my skincare travel essentials today's post is the follow up with my travel makeup essential. I didn't do them in one post otherwise it would have been the longest post ever! These are the products that i can't live without, that i use everyday and i had to take with me. I tend to take palettes or multipurpose products to reduce the space it takes up in my luggage. 
Base: 
L'Oreal True Match Foundation In Warm Ivory: £9.99. This foundation is a tad dark for me but its the right yellow undertone, i find most foundation are far too pink for me. But i find if i blend it well and add a lighter concealer it looks perfect! Its long lasting and creates a really nice coverage. I would have taken the Makeup Revolution Fast Base but i hadn't purchased it buy that point. 

Makeup Revolution Concealer And Define Concealer in C1: £4.00. I love this concealer i can totally see why it broke the internet, why every is obsessed with it, its brilliant! I have it in C1 which at the time was the lightest now they have C0, C.05. But i find C1 is a good colour, if anything i think its a tad too light! Which never happens with concealer for me, so i'm really happy with this product.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder In Translucent: £3.99. I've had this powder for years, its a good standard powder that sets my makeup and keeps the oil away. A powder i think everyone needs and i can't travel without.

Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette: £8.00. This is my holy grail product i can't live without it. The light contour shade is perfect for my skin tone and the highlighter is so beautiful and subtle but you can really build it up! Both in one handy palette perfect for going away.
L to R: L'Oreal Foundation, MR Concealer. MR Contour and Highlight shades.

Brows:
Max Factor Brow Shaper In Brown: £7.99. I can't go anywhere without this brow product, it literally lives in my handbag. Its a very fine pencil which means i get a precise brow, i can create a good shape. Its not too waxy or pigmented so i can't go over board. Long lasting, smudge prove, its exactly what i'm looking for. Great comb on the end too! 

Eyes:
Stila Eyes Are The Window Of The Soul Palette: £30.00. I love Stila cosmetics, The packaging is so beautiful and a little piece of luxury to me. Great selection of everyday colours which match any skin tone and makeup look. You can create so many different looks for both day and evening with this palette. Definitely an all round brilliant palette. 

Maybelline Liquid Eyeliner: £5.99 I've been using this liner for years, i've tried so may but i keep coming back to this one, i love it. Its a very find tip, very pigmented, i know it lasts all day and wont let me down. 

Nip And Fab Mascara: £9.95. I got this is the Nip and Fab set i bought on Black Friday which was an amazing deal! (post here) I've only just got round to using this one as i still had a couple of other mascaras on the go at the time. This is a really nice mascara, the wand is a nice small shape so it really catches all the lashes, it gives me length and volume. 

L to R Max Factor Brow pencil, Stila Palette a couple of shades, Maybelline line.

Lips
L'Oreal Lipstick In Erotique: £6.99. I love this shade especially for going out in the evening, i've always enjoyed L'Oreal lipsticks. I've never had a L'Oreal lip product that i didn't like. This one is so creamy and pigmented. 

Mac Lipstick In Velvet Teddy: £17.50. Lastly my long time favourite, and i think one that is everyone loves. This is a classic nude, i think this is perfect for everyday, its quick and easy to just throw on. You know it goes with all makeup looks. Its a comfortable matte, that is long lasting and fades away nicely.
L to R: L'oreal Erotique and Mac Velvet Teddy

March Favourites 2018

Hello darlings

I've blinked and March has gone! Anyone else? But i have to admit i have very excited to turn the heating off, open the windows and get my sunglasses out! Normally Winter is my favourite season, i mean Christmas, Halloween, my birthday, Will and Isaac's birthday all happen in Winter but since living on my own this year, bills! Need i say more 

Anyway back to my post, haven't done a monthly favourites for a little while. I have to admit i haven't been able to blog as much as i wanted to. Being a mum and working takes up 99% of my day, but i'm trying to find a healthy balance between Isaac, Will, house work, work, sleep and hobbies. So hopefully watch this space. 
I LOVE this palette, my beautiful fiance Will bought it for me for my birthday last November and i've hit pan on one shadow and nearly on another 2, i love it so much. I use it most days its so versatile, i can create so many looks with these shadows and they are all on one palette which is so handy.  They are creamy and blend beautifully, overall a fab product. 

I've only had this for about a month as it was sold out everywhere! I got it in the lightest shade, C1. Its a good colour match, if anything it might be a little too light, but that makes it perfect for brightening up under the eye. Its full coverage, good for hiding my dark circles, but if i put too much on it sinks into my fine lines around my eyes so be aware of that if you are thinking of purchasing this.. 

This is at the moment my holy grail brow pencil, its the perfect texture. Its firm but not too firm that so it creates a natural brow. Its a very fine tip so you can create hairs that are not there perfect for every day.

I use these pads at night after i've taken my makeup off, they are a quick and easy way to exfoliate. My feel feels so good for using them, it leaves it soft and cleansed. I much prefer a chemical exfoliator to a manual gritty one, this one is so much gentler on the skin and i enjoy using them more. 

This is marketed as a anti-wrinkle cream, and although i have fine lines i'm not quite at the wrinkle stage yet. But this is the nicest face cream i've used in ages, i can't put into words how my skin feel after using this. I bought it after A Model Recommends mentioned it in a video last month. I'm so glad i bought it! It feels so silky smooth on the skin, its has a really nice creamy texture, a small amount goes a long way. 

I'd love to know what are some of your Match Favourites?
