Clinique all about eyes rich
Lancome Hydrazen Neurocalm moituriser
Estee Lauder pure colour eyeshadow in mocha cup
Chanel Lip Gloss in Sesame
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm (I still haven't tried it!)
Origins clean energy cleansing oil
oh and a transparent make up bag to hold it all!

My Make Up Bag
At the moment these products are that make me tick!

Under eye concealer: I'm using touche eclat in the day
Bronzer - Bobbi Brown bronzing powder in medium
Blusher: No17 does a great cream blusher I have colours Spun Sugar and Butterscotch and they give you a just been for a walk look.
Lips - Clarins Natural lip perfector in 02 which is peachy and has a lovely vanilla flavour
Eyes - Boujours in Beige rose
Mascara - Chanel Sculpte cils
Night
Foundation - Vitalumerie
Under eye - Benefit
Bronzer - Bobbi Brown or if I want a bit of sparkle Chanel irrelle soleil in Sierra
Blusher - Mac blusher in Peaches

First Things First
This is my second blog (my first being about Interior Design www.sortmyhouse.blogspot.com).
I love beauty products, and when I was working full time, it was my hobby to but and try various beauty products (much to my husbands disapproval!). Nowadays since becoming a mum and dropped to part time hours, I have much less disposable income, hence my new rule - one in one out, i.e I can only buy a new foundation when my old one runs out. Sounds boring?? Not so because now instead of having loads of half used bottles cluttering up my bathroom, I now have fewer better selected/ researched products that I actually use (and it has to be said I feel much less guilty for my expenditure these days!)
I used to be an advertisers dream, I would buy anything if it promised to make me prettier, firmer I'm sure that I used to believe that using L'oreal shampoo would give me Claudia Schiffer's hair (of course it had nothing to do with the hours of styling and professional help she had on the ads!).
So after years of trying products and asking random people on the street, and pestering girls in the toilets on nights out, I now have a good knowledge of what's out there, and my friends often turn to me and ask 'which foundation shall I buy?' ' Which eye shadow colour should I chose?' and 'which perfume shall I buy for everyday wear?'.
