What's in my Bag/Purse? ❤

Hey Ladies! ♥

I was cleaning out my big ole bag today and thought I might as well do a little tag whilst it wasn't full of receipts and random tissues (ew). So here you have it! My first "What's in my Bag?" lol! I do tend to carry more than this with me.. my bag was just so heavy that I emptied a lot of things out.. I just kept my essential bits and bobs in it so they're all I'll be featuring in this post ;-)

I bought this bag a couple of months ago and featured it in my clothing haul. I am actually quite surprised with it as bags that I have bought from Primark in the past have been nowhere near as sturdy as this one. There are days when I carry my whole house and tons of coursework with me and even then the bag shows no signs of wear. I am really happy with this purchase and the price was a great bargain too! It's very big and spacious (pretty similar to a weekend bag if I'm honest!). It isn't as cheap-looking as the flash has made it look in this photo! I tried so hard to make it look normal but it wouldn't co-operate haha!

I don't have the most attractive wallet but hey it does it's job! ;-) I took out a few of my less personal bits and bobs so you could vaguely see what I carry about with me ^_^ (obviously I love make-up shopping!).

Oh yeah. I'm a pet's at home VIP ;-) haha! I thought I'd sign up with them to get a few discounts here and there when it comes to buying things for my two little guinea pigs =) they can be costly little things who love to eat, poop and then eat some more haha (and they definitely eat me out of pocket!).

The cute little notebook was 99p in a sale at WHSmith so I had to pick it up! It's really handy for taking down notes and is small enough to just throw into your handbag :-) I love the little button on the elastic band that's used to fasten it!

Glasses... because I can't see over long distances haha!

I was actually quite shocked at how little I had in my pencil case! I had tons of little bits and bobs in there.. My mum has a habit of pinching things without asking haha! Anyway.. a few sad little lonely bits still remain! I guess I've managed to hold onto the essential bits anyway!

I tend to carry around a small little makeup bag that I just throw random bits and pieces into. Obviously I love lipglosses!

I don't know the exact name of the MP4 hence why the one in the picture is labelled different to what I've typed below (lol) but they both show up as the same thing when you search for them so I suppose they just have two different names ;-)

Urban Decay Smoked Palette Review! ♥

Hey dolls! ♥ I bought this palette about a month ago when I was browsing through Debenhams with my sister and I can honestly say it's amazing! I thought it would be a good idea to do a review on it as I have had plenty of time to play around with it and try out tons of different looks.

Before I get started please excuse the plastic covering on my mirror in these pictures! I don't have a dirty mirror I'm just OCD about keeping things pretty haha!

Buying this palette was a bit adventurous of me as I'm not one who likes full on dark smokey eyes on myself as they tend to make me look a little dull and a tad homeless if I'm completely honest! I don't use dark colours on my entire lid as I just don't like the look but instead use them on the outer third of my eye and through my crease. I've always been a fan of this method and this palette has some rather fun colours to spice up my regular smokey look and make it a little more fun!

 There are 10 colours in this palette with only two of them being light. I use the two lighter colours for my highlight and transition colour. They are matte in contrast to the other colours so they don't draw any attention away from your smouldering lids!

 ♥

The palette also comes with an eye pencil that is seriously the most blackest of blacks as well as a miniature travel-sized primer potion which is quite cute! 

The eyeliner really does stay on all day and I find it a little hard to blend if I leave it on my lid too long so it's something you have to work quite quickly with if you want to blend it out!

I've never owned an eye primer before so I don't have much experience in them. I do like this primer though as I find it keeps my eyeshadow on longer, prevents creasing and really intensifies my eyeshadow. I have also heard some great reviews on this primer by tons of youtube gurus so I can't be the only who likes it!

I swatched all but one colour-Oops! (including the eye pencil) without building them up so that you could see how pigmented they are with just one swipe. Add primer underneath and a few more layers and the colours are just so bold and bright on your lids! (Not neon bright but you get my drift!)

♥

The palette also came along with a rather cool look-book. I've taken photos of just a few of the looks so you can get an idea on what to expect from the palette. You can always tweak the instructions to your own liking so that they suit the shape of your eyes better and flatter your features.

 If I had anything negative to say about this palette it would be that the material covering it isn't the most stain resistant. I've not had it very long and already I can see foundation and concealer stains on it. It's a bit of a pain wiping your hands down with a wet wipe before using it but other than that I can't fault this palette at all! It makes a great change from my usual neutral smokey eye and is especially great for evening looks!

That's all dolls! I hope you enjoyed this post! I'm glad I've been blogging a little more recently =) If you have any questions about this palette or any of the items mentioned please feel free to leave them in the comments section!

Lots of Love,

SaraBoopxo
