Whats in my travel make up bag?

As you may of seen I went to spain for a week, and gee I wish I was back there! 
I thought I would show you what I took with me, however I didn't use it all as I spent most of the week make-up-less. I only worn some in the evenings if we were going out. To start you can briefly see my make up bag and this is a Clinique make up bag.

Sleek i-Divine "Au Naturel" palette

top- l-r nougat, nubuck, cappuccino, honeycomb, toast, taupe

Bottom : l-r conker, moss, bark, mineral earth, regal, noir

This palette has a great range of matte shades and shimmery shades. Most of the top row are more like a simple wash of colour to use on the eyelid. The first shade would be very good as a highlighter, the second colour for some reason doesn't really show up on my skin toned. Out of the whole palette my favourite shade is "Cappuccino" I wear this everyday to work as it gives my eyes a bit more depth.

The bottom row of colours are very pigmented- completely different to the top row of eyeshadows. But as these show up a lot more these shades I would use as more of a night time look. I think it's really good that there is a black matte shade in the palette as it is really good to achieve a smokey eye.

Sleek is availble in the UK in Superdrug. I got my palette from Ebay and I think this set me back about £6, which is really good for 12 eyeshadows. I would like to try more sleek palettes in the future. Anyone has a recommendation? 

Fake Benefit number 2

So this is following on from my blog post that I made last week. This is another fake product I got conned into due to the price.
This is Benefit's lemon aid eyelid primer, you can also use it as a normal concealer. I think this product has been discontinued also. But anywhere here's the low down!

Admittedly I was very convinced by the packaging but it's good, so who wouldn't be? After doing some research online I come to realise mine was a fake. 

The product code is apparently on the wrong side of the box.

The consistency of the product- now I didn't think it was terrible but for something that is on the higher end of the scale I was expecting better results and it not being so hard to work with.

This isn't the best photo but there is no capital L for London and there is no space between the post code. Another give away for me was the fact that on the box with the ingredients list it said "Shea better" now I always thought it was shea butter! So yeah this made me totally convinced that this is a fake benefit product.


As I said in my last post I won't try and search for these deals on Ebay again. I'm a big lover of Ebay and this hasn't put me off the site but I think people need to be careful with what they buy on there, especially these fake products as you can't really guarantee what is actually in them! I have done these blog posts so others can see :)

Bourjois Highlighting Powder - Poudre Illuminatrice

Product review time!


I heard so much about the Bourjois chocolate style products and being a white chocolate loveruvauva I thought I would try the Highlighting powder. Also, not owning a highlighter I thought this would be a good purchase. I bought mine off Ebay for about £6.


Upon receiving it I was so excited to smell it and see if it does really smell like white chocolate! All I can say to everyone who has said this is- what white chocolate have you been smelling? To me this smells nothing like chocolate- just very powdery! So this was a major disappointment to me.


There is a lot of product for your money, so in this respect it is a really good purchase. To highlight I would just put my finger in and apply to areas such as my cheeks. I found with a brush I didn't see any highlight to my face. When you swatch with your finger you get quite a good amount of product but for some reason it doesn't transfer to your face.


I don't want to write a bad review but I was a little disappointed with this product. As I said for the money you can't complain at how much product you get but if you want a strong visible highlighter then this isn't really the one for you. But if you want a subtle highlighter then I would say this would be a good product!
