What's in my make-up bag?


Good afternoon poppets,
how are you all dealing with this monsoon June?!
I donned the hunter wellies on my way to the office this morning, and snuggled up at my desk with a hot water bottle and a cup of tea. Wouldn't it be dreadful to live in a country where they didn't drink tea??

I know I said I would be a little more diverse on my blog (I promise I will), but I'm really enjoying make-up again at the moment.

I'm thinking of doing a make-up artist course, even though they are ridiculously expensive. If anyone could recommend any around central London, that would be great!

Anyway, let's get down to it.
I love peeking into other peoples' make-up bags, who can resist a good nosey, eh?! So...this is the contents of my every-day make-up bag... 



I'll walk you through it...

Face
Clinique Dramatically different moisturizing lotion
No.7 Concealer- shade 03 fair (I always like to have my concealer in a lighter shade than my foundations)

Chanel Foundations-
My crazy love obsession with Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation is still going strong. We are coming up to our 3 year anniversary... or so.
Chanel Vitalumiere (shade 20 Beige), which I Mix with Vitalumiere Lumiere (shade 30 Cendre Shell) £35 for 30mls, depending on how tanned I am.
 Mac Finishing Mist
Topshop Foundation Brush


Cheeks
Mac Sheer tone Shimmer Blush- Trace Gold
Illamsqua Cream Blush- Sob (I've hit the pan on this one, it's lasted over a year and I still absolutely love it)
MAC 109 Contor Brush
Eyes
Mac Mascara- Studio Fix Boldblack Lash
Mac eyeliner- Smoulder
 Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil- Shade 001 dark brown.


Lips
Carmex Classic Lipbalm (I use this as as a base for lipsticks)
MAC Satin Lipstick- Myth
YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick

Randoms
Make up bag- Muji
Boots Eyelash curlers
Tweezer- Octopus
Bobby pins
 Cath Kidston mirror

Phew! It does seem like a heck of a lot when I list it.
This is my every-day natural make up look (excuse the hair, rain = bad hair day)...


What do you carry around in your make-up bag? is it as much as me?!
