Task: To create an entire make-up bag for under £40 using products
found in Boots!
I will do a proper review on each product but these are
staple products I think you would make up the basics of any great makeup bag. Although it would be possible to find some of
these products for much less, through years of experimenting I have found that
if you buy the cheapest products ususally you are getting the cheapest quality as well
and it is not worth it. I have also added a
couple of options to do a makeup bag for just under £47 if you like to use
waterproof eye products.
Foundation
Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation £9.99
A great light foundation I use shade 71 on a daily basis it
is long lasting and great for most skin types apart from oily skin. I have found this to be the best of the
cheaper foundations.
OR
Bourjois Flower perfect £10.99
I use colour 71 and this is great for oily skin, I use this
in hot countries as it leaves a nice matt effect that doesn’t look shiny
throughout the day. There is also a
handy sponge on the lid for easy application.
I really like Bourjois foundations as in the past i have found other cheaper makes such as Rimmel and
Maybelline foundations to be too orange toned for my pale skin.
Concealer
Boots Natural Collection cover up stick £1.99
This is a very cheap concealer but easily my favorite since
I discovered it when I was about 15! It has very high coverage so easily
conceals any blemish. I always use this stick instead of foundation
in very hot countries as it has great staying power and doesn’t melt off like
most foundations. Plus it is easy to fit in a small handbag for touch-ups where ever you are!
Blusher
Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher £7.99
This blusher comes with a little brush which is great for
applying I have used a few of the colours in the past and all look quite
natural and blend easily. They last
absolutely ages and leave a really nice warm glow so it is well worth the
price.
Brows
Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil £2.99
I have this pencil in one of the lighter brown colours, it
is great for filling in brows and has a little brush on the top which is
useful!
Eyeshadow
Natural Collection Eyeshadow in Soft Pink £1.79
This is a really nice light pink colour that is very subtle
and just brightens the eyes a bit to make you look refreshed during the day. The dark colours from this collection are
not as good as the light ones.
Eyeliner
Barry M Bold Waterproof Eyeliner £3.99
I no longer use this eyeliner because I have fallen in love
with the Chanel/MAC waterproof ones so I don’t currently have one to do a
review on. I buy more expensive noes
because I frequently wear contact lenses and my eyes water a lot and I find all
of the cheap eyeliners run. But I used
to use this proudct a lot and it does do a good job and last all day if your
eyes aren’t constantly watering so I do think this is one of the best!
OR
Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner £5.29
If you have a steady enough hand I would certainly recommend
this product because it lasts for ages and glides on really easily. They have recently brought out a waterproof
version of this so I might try that one at some point.
Mascara
Maybelline Great Last Blackest Black Mascara £4.99
This mascara is a great day mascara because it has a
convenient small tapered brush and doesn’t get too clumpy. As with eyeliners I have problems with my
eyes watering so although I love the formula of this mascara I no longer use
it.
OR
Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara £10.99
This is my favourite mascara as their waterproof version
does not budge. It is quite difficult to
get off though and I find I have to use a very oily makeup remover but it does
such a good job I really don’t care.
Lipstick
Barry M Lip Gloss wand £4.49
This is a great everyday product in a sheer colour that
would suit anyone and is a little bit moisturising without being sticky.
