MAKE UP! THAT'S MY THING ;)

Hey everyone

I recently realised that I have somewhat abandoned my blog!!! :(
My life is moving very fast paced and I am quite the bit busy of late :( however that is no excuse not to be making posts at least once every two weeks!?

Today's post is on MAKE-UP! and yes, I have to write it in capitals because this is how passionately I feel about the subject and for those wondering if  make-up is one or two words or hyphenated; it is in fact ONE word. So it should actually be spelt 'Makeup' because it is actually a noun referring to facial cosmetics. Nonetheless, I feel it should be two words simply because it looks wrong as one word and adding a hyphen to it makes it two words......"Make-up"?? (yes/no?)

OK enough of the controversy lol

So first and foremost I think it's only right to share my overall vanity collection; some may think it's overwhelimg and others may think i've got next to nothing. (trust me i've seen the products some people accumulate and its like walking into MAC)

So here we have my everyday essentials!
Mary Kay foundation (Bronze 7)
Chanel Lumiere foundation (134 Amber)
MAC Select Cover Up Concealer (NW45)
FYI: I mix the Chanel foundation and the Select Cover Up concealer for my bright  under eye look
Bobby Brown gel liner
Tom Ford Blusher (04 Savage)
Wet n Wild Vanity Palette (the purple shade for my brows)
Milani baked blush (luminoso)
GOSH lip primer
Benefit Bad Gyal lash (mascara)
Sleek face contour kit (medium)
Illamasqua concealer for deep contouring (cc335)
MAC pro longwear concealer (NW50) <to cover up blemishes
MAC Studio finish conealer (NW45) <for brows
MAC eyeshadow palette (everyday colour I use for a natural look is called TEXTURE)
Chanel Face powder no50
So my vanity is based on my window seal and everything fits in place :) that is including my make-up, my face products, lashes, fragrances and hair accessories! Having my make up on my window seal does improve the quality of my make up as I do my face in natural light. I have a nice handy mirror and a chair that  I use everyday.

I must say I did purchase this acrylic storage from Muji for roughly £10 if I remember correctly. They come as a set of two draws and I currently have two sets which equals four drawers; I really need to get another set as my drawers are overflowing :(
