What's in my bag!

I love reading and watching these types of things so I wanted to do one:)
Lets start off with the bag! This bag I bought a few months ago and have been using it constantly, it's by marc b and has neon quilted stiching with a leopard print lining and I got it from asos.com.

And this is the view from above

Lots of junkkk
so this is all that is in my bag

From left to right: A leaflet from latestinbeauty.com, got my samples in yesteday can't wait to use them. More magazine - its cheap and quite a light read. Some boring uni notes for maths


Chewing gum, receipts, bus tickets and train tickets and a wrapper from Galaxy - I'm so greedy!


My river island purse, my trusty DS, earphones that don't even work, a hello kitty pen from john lewis and my house keys.


Some moneyy, a kinder egg toy thing lol, my sunnies that I got free from a magazine (bargain!), random toy car and tokens for a night club in Glasgow!


And the best part of it all, the make up!
From L to R:
L'oreal colour appeal
Missha Perfect Cover BB cream
Bourjois 3D effect lipgloss
Benefit benetint pocket pal (almost finished this:( )
Miss Sporty Fabulour sorbet in Iris
Body Shop Born Lippy in raspberry
M.A.C lipglass in Nymphette
Benefit Her Glossiness in Didn't hear it from me
E.L.F all over colour stick in pink lemonade
Eyeko face off wipe
Two necklaces, a ring and a bangle
Heart mirror I got free with a lipgloss

Wow I have so much rubbish in my bag and a lot of lip products randomly
Well atleast it gave me a chance to clear out my bag

Products I regret buying...

So I thought I would do a little post about things I would recommend you not to buy...

1. E.L.F Candy shop lipgloss in Candy fix - For those of you that are unaware of elf, its eyes lips face, a website where pretty much all the products are £1.50. So a while ago I went on and bought a few things including nail polish (not bad), all over colour stick (really like), shimmering facial whip(also like) along with this candy shop thing. Now this comes in different flavours such as coconut, frosting and cherry etc...however the candy one, to my dismay, did not smell like candy, it smelt more like my cat after it's been in the rain. In a nutshell, it's awful, maybe I got a bad one but it's awfulll. I would not recommend.

2.Lee Stafford "Wonder webb" - This product is a good concept, its a gel-like white substance and when you rub it between your hands and pull them apart it goes all webby, yeh webby.
It's supposed to give texture and light hold, however it really did nothing to my hair whatsoever. The only good thing about this is that it didn't leave my hair feeling sticky or dirty.

3.No.7 Perfect light Pressed Powder - I bought this because I just needed a powder to go over my foundation at places to make it less shiny, but it just left my face look powdery and cakey - not a good look. So now I just use this for the mirror in the compact :)

From ranting to raving. A while ago I watched a few videos on youtube about making your own lipgloss by using vaseline and mineral powder blushes. I tried this out the other night however added a few extras such as some barry m dazzle dust in coral and gold irredesence (which give a really nice effect) and came out with two different colours - one is more pinky and shiny, the other slighty mauve in appereance. So yeh, I think everyone should try this!


On that note, I'll leave you with a picture of my cat Sophie :)

What I'm using.....

So I thought I'd give this a go ;)

Hair

Shampoo: Head and Shoulders Colour Care, I wish I could try other colour care products but as soon as I stop using H & S I get awful dandruff again :(

Conditioner: Aussie 3 minute miracle Frizz care

Styling products: CHI silk infusion, Aussie curl treatment, Lee Stafford day after spray (personally I don't notice any difference with my hair)

Hair mask: I'm currently on the search for a good mask, I've heard the Tre semme one is good?


Body

Shower gel: Soap and Glory "clean on me", very creamy and nice smelling

Body moisturiser: Body Shope body butter, papaya, strawberry, pink grapefruit etc:)

Deodarant - Sure

Fake tan: Dove gradual tan (tip: if your pale like me but want a little more of colour straight away than you normally would with the pale version, just get the medium/dark version)


Face

Cleanser: Witch foaming face wash

Eye makeup remover: Johnson's Baby oil....of course!

Exfoliator - Garnier three in one cleanser, exfoliater and mask. Although it does leave my face quite dry


Makeup

Primer: Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Radiance serum...don't think it's supposed to be a primer but i put this on with my moisturiser before make up

Foundation: Revlon colourstay/ Missha Perfect Cover bb cream - it's amazing and smells wonderfullll...i'll do a review

Foundation brush: I have the mac 187 but i find that my fingers work best cos it makes me look like i've not got no make up on.

Concealer: Barbara Daily for tesco make up concealer, although it's looking a bit too yellow for me just now

Powder: Don't really use one but if I do it's bare minerals

Blusher: No.7 mineral blush in soft damson, but I'm liking cream blushers as my skin is really dry just now. I'm using ELF colour stick in pink lemonade, I really like it

Bronzer: I don't use one

Highlighter: Benefit high beam, love it

Eyeshadow base: I either use my small size UDPP (which I don't like, it actually MAKES my eyelids feel oily) or my paint pot in rubanesque, lovely

Eyeshadows: I love the three browny shades in urban decay deluxe pallette, it's nice paring them with one of the bright colours like fishnet on the lower lashline.

Eyeliner: MAC fluidline blacktrack

Eyelash curler: Just a normal silver one that I stole from my mum :)

Eyelash base: None

Mascara: Benefit Bad Gal, makes my lashes look longgg

Lipstick: GOSH darling, thank you lollopop26!

Lipgloss: MAC Nymphette, Collection 200 Love your lips in Darling (nice coraly colour and smells like mango) and Her glossiness in "didnt hear it from me" ( gorgeous nude)

Nail colour: Barry M Raspberry and GOSH wild lilac

:)

Eyeko

I love the Eyeko products, they're all so cute
And if you use this code E2509 on the website www.eyeko.com, you get free shipping and a gift with purchases over £10! How good is that, the fat balms are soooo nice!

In and Out 1

So yes I know many people do these posts such as lollipo26, allthatglitters21 and so on. Yes many.
So I thought I would jump on the blog bandwagon even more by doing this myself.

In:

No essays in uni - I am seriously loving that I don't have to worry about any essays this week. Just got my exams to worry about, 5 weeks!

My growing nail polish collection - I have so many now that I' m at the point where I can't decide what one to where!

My cat - She's suddenly become so affectionate and just sits on my lap as soon as I sit down, she's so cute.

Special K Bliss - It actually tastes amazing!

Out:

No money - I'm surviving on nothing :( all because of being in Glasgow everyday and all the pretty shops!

Exams - The impending doom of exams in May does not excite me.

Cat hairs - Yes she's affectionate but she casts hairs like there's no tomorrow!

Introduction...

So lets start with the introdcutions shall we?
Well I'm Gillian and I hail from the west of Scotland.
I'm 18 and enjoy the basic things along with clothes and make up.
I will basically be following in the footsteps of many random bloggers, mainly on the make up and clothes side though.

I'm new to this so go easy on me :)
