So I do realise that the title of this post seems a little odd but todays post is a post that has been on my list for ages but I have never really got round to doing it. Now everybody who reads even reads one blog knows that the Urban Decay Naked Palettes are everyones weakness over here in makeup obsessed land but there are actually many alternatives now available.

I have wanted a naked palette for quite sometime and I was about to hand over my cash when I came across some new launches which caught my eye, these are both still in a similar price range although I will most likely do a budget alternative post at some point in the near future.





The shadows in this palette are shimmery as opposed to matte but if that is your thing then I'm sure you will love this as it features a wide range of colours ranging from light to dark which can be used as an everyday easy look or as a heavily contoured evening look. This palette is £32 from Clinique.

Hey guys,

I decided I would do a review for you today now this is something I have been trying out for a while after it was sent to me because I couldn't attend an event :( so this wasn't sent for review but as more of a consolation present from the lovely people over at bareMinerals.

It is the bareMinerals READY Foundation with added SPF20 in it and the recommended brush to use with it the Precision Face Brush.

Hey guys,

So I joined the hype, these are all over instagram and are a nightmare to find for so many people although I have to say I didn't really have that problem but maybe my local boots just had a delivery or something??? I have to say I didn't particularly buy this because of the hype over them but more because they have a fairly low price tag and do exactly what I want them to do.

I picked up the shade Pink Punch which looks a little like this:




I'll definitely be picking up some different shades of these as soon as possible, there is a peach shade with my name on it!!

You can get them from here or here.

Hope you have enjoyed,

Heya,

So today I thought I would share what is in my makeup bag with you and I'd also like to apologise for my slight blogging hiatus but I've had a few internet problems and stuff which has meant that I couldn't post :(

So lets get started then....

My makeup bag is from Cath Kidston and is oilcloth on the outside and then the inside is also wipeable plastic so it is really easy to keep clean especially if makeup spills or anything. I have had it a few years now so I can't remember how much it was but it still looks perfect which I really can't believe! I can also fit loads and loads inside it!

Now for the good stuff, here's whats inside:

1.  So the first thing in my makeup bag is this M&S Autograph Kabuki brush, I use this to blend out powdered makeup.

2. Next is my 17 Powder Brush this is what I use to apply powders as it gives me precision meaning I can apply things such as bronzer in the right place without it going all over the place.

3. The last brush I keep in my makeup bag is my Real Techniques accent brush, I use this for applying eyeshadow on the top of my lids in a little tiny wing because I don't like using liquid eyeliner and eyeshadow is a bit softer.

4. Next is my foundation which is the Rimmel Match Perfect in shade 100 Ivory.

5. I also have my concealer and highlighter also from the Rimmel Match Perfect range in shade 010 Ivory

6. Next is my Sleek Face Form Pallete which I use most days it has a bronzer, highlighter and blush in it.

7. Now onto eye products, I have my 17 Doll'd Up Mascara in the shade Black Brown.

8. The eyeliner I have is the Clarins Kohl Liner in the shade 02 Bronze.

9. And finally my trusty MUA Undress Me Too Pallete

I hope you've enjoyed the sneak peek into my current everyday makeup :)

See you soon,
