Weekend Beauty Bag #1

I thought I would start something new on my blog called Weekend Beauty Bag and I will basically show you the products I take with me when I am going away for the weekend. I quite often go down to London to see family and friends or I go to my Aunties at the weekend. I had a lovely time with my Auntie and my cousins playing out in the lovely sun and a very productive day of shopping as I had no summer clothes in my wardrobe. I don't tend to bring much makeup with me when I go away for the night and as I was only at my Aunties this weekend it is quite a simple collection of items.

Firstly I have the Liz Earle signature foundation, which if you read my review on it, you will know it isn't one of my favourite foundations but it is a bit darker than my other foundations and I have caught the sun a bit recently and I find it makes me look nice and tanned at the moment and is a great shade for summer. I also have discovered an old love, when I was tidying and re-organising my makeup collection, the Soap and Glory Thick and Fast mascara. Every Soap and Glory product I have tried has been really nice and this is no exception. Last year this was a freebie in a magazine and I think I bought like 4 magazines or something crazy. It does exactly what it says on the tin and makes my lashes really thick with only a few coats. It is harder to get my lashes to look really long but I don't really mind so much. I did a review last year on this mascara so click here to read more, but overall this is a really nice everyday mascara that ticks all the boxes for me. Another eye product is this Topshop Kohl pencil, In the Christmas sales I bought a set of 5 Soap and Glory pencil eye liners and I have pretty much been reaching for those all the time and I kind of forgot about my Topshop pencil. So I brought this away with me just because I wanted to use it more. I find this is a really good eye pencil and I don't really have anything else to say about this. My last eye product that I took away with me was the Bobbie Brown Nude On Nude Palette which is a great matte palette and can be used to create a range of looks. There is a white highlighter, three brown shades and a really dark matte brown that is supposed to be used as a liner but is also nice blended out in the crease for a more dramatic look. Because the sun was out I wanted a really healthy glowing blusher and the Sleek Rose Gold blush ticks all the boxes for me when it is really sunny. The pigmentation of this is incredible and for only £5 you really can't go wrong. Finally I have a new lip product and I do have a thing for lip crayons. This one is from Seventeen, not a brand I have tried much from but what is really annoying is that there are no shade names so I can't tell you what it is called. I have quite dark natural lips and for me this is the perfect nude. It applys quite sheer but I don't really mind as it is a really comfortable nude to wear with anything.
