What's In My Makeup Bag?
For a long period of time, I never had a certain combination of products that I would reach for; however, as my makeup collection grew, it was only natural for me to gather my most-used products and keep them separate from the rest of my makeup collection, so that I could grab my most trust-worthy products and use them on a daily basis.
Before we delve into my foundation-stained makeup bag, I should inform you that the products mentioned below will most likely not be new (to the majority of you) as most of them were released a long time ago. The products mentioned below are my personal favourites that I have been using for a couple of months (if not years).
Please keep in mind that the products mentioned below may not work and/or have the same effect on your skin as they do on mine as a result of differing skin types and/or skin tones.
bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer
My skin is oily so this primer is great at smoothing my skin and controlling my oiliness. I usually apply this primer through my t-zone as that's where my skin tends to get the oiliest. Also, one of the best things about this primer is that you literally need the smallest amount and it effectively locks your makeup into place.
NYX Mineral Stick Foundation
In 07 Cool Tan - I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to blending foundation so I've really like this stick foundation - it blends like an absolute dream. The application is so quick and using this foundation saves me so much time. If you're looking for a glowy, slightly dewy finish with minimal blending required then it might be worth visiting the NYX website.
Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer
In 20 - Overall, this concealer is great as it can be used for a variety of skin concerns; I like to use it to cover redness, dark circles, spots, freckles and sharpen my eyebrows after filling them in. I highly recommend this product if you're on the lookout for a concealer to use on a day-to-day basis without breaking the bank!
George Silk Finish Pressed Powder
In 01 Translucent - Simply put, this powder does the job of erasing any unwanted shininess. It keeps my oiliness at bay and is extremely affordable. Like I mentioned, my skin is oily and has been throughout the majority of my life so I've tested a range of face differing in price and I see no major difference in this powder as opposed to a powder from a more expensive brand.
Collection Eye Brow Kit
In Brunette - The kit consists of three different brow powders and a clear brow mascara. I use the darkest shade in the Brunette brow kit to fill in sparse areas and define my eyebrows. Although, the clear brow mascara included in the kit is long-lasting, I prefer using a different brow gel such as the L'oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper to further darken my brow hairs.
Collection Fast Stroke Defining Lash Mascara
In Black - This mascara is great at lengthening and separating my lashes; it defines my eyes and I can trust the mascara to last all day with no signs of flaking and/or smudging. I especially love the straight wand shape and the tapered tip as it coats even the tiniest of lashes with ease.
Avon Glimmerstick Eye Liner
In Blackest Black - I love using this slim eyeliner in my tightline to make my upper lashes look thicker and more defined.
New Look Lip Liner
In Orchard - I use this liner to define my cupids bow before applying my favourite nude-pink lip product. Recently, I've been loving using this lipliner on its own for a super matte finish.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss
In 040 Nude Lustre - I love using this pink/brown gloss to add a nice sheen to my lips. I highly recommend Revlon glosses as they're non-sticky and really pigmented; I love the colour pay-off.
Avon mark. MagiX Prep and Set Spray
This spray finely mists over the face and locks my makeup in place all day. I love the formula of this product as it revives and makes my skin look like skin again. I especially love using this spray as it gets rid of any excess powder on the face. This setting spray also doubles up as a primer.

My Morning Skincare Routine
After brushing my teeth and showering, my morning skincare routine starts off with a face wash. I've been using the Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash & Mask for a couple of weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. This 2-in-1 face wash and mask is especially effective at clearing excess oil and removing harmful bacteria which can lead to spots and skin imperfections. In the morning, I apply a small amount to my wet face before working it into a lather and massaging it into my skin, using circular motions, for about 20 seconds. Then, I rinse my face with warm water. This product is great for those on a budget, have oily skin and/or are prone to spots and blemishes, as the product can be used also as a mask. In the past, I have used the product as a mask—after leaving it on the face for a quick five minutes, the skin is noticeably clearer and smoother to the touch. The mask promises to unclog pores and purify deep down.

to be successful when dating your girlfriend
To have a perfect date, first you need to determine a date time that suits the two of you. Therefore, you need to ask her about a suitable date and time, so you can set a time to meet, bringing a feeling of comfort to both parties. The first date always leaves a special feeling in the hearts of the people involved. Therefore, you should plan in detail to create an unforgettable impression in the beauty's heart. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to hire a private band of musicians, or take her to luxurious and expensive places, just a romantic meal together at the park or something. It's so sweet that she's never done it before... Surely, she will always remember this impressive date. If you and she had a successful first date, continue planning the next date. Because this is necessary to let her understand that you are very interested in her. However, when showing interest, you should not show too much emotion because it can make her feel suffocated. Even if you and she have had interesting dates, that doesn't mean you should stop keeping in touch with her. This will make her think that you no longer care about her.Therefore, you need to continue to keep in touch to let her understand that you are still there and still care about her every day. Girls often don't like just listening to you talk about yourself without mentioning anything related to them. Because that proves that you are selfish and don't care about their thoughts. Therefore, you need to create a balance between questions and answers between the two of you throughout the conversation.You can ask questions about her life, hobbies, work... and share information with each other. During your daily conversations, you should keep in mind the likes and dislikes she has shared with you. If she mentions that she doesn't like seafood dishes, it's best not to date her at restaurants that specialize in seafood. Through this, she will know that you always listen and understand her.Chivalry and "gallantry" in behavior are always appreciated by girls in a man. Therefore, you should be polite, caring and do the best for the woman you want to create a long-term relationship with. Honesty and kindness are always good qualities that girls want in a boyfriend. Therefore, please respect, cherish and always help her when she needs you. There's nothing worse than when a girl thinks things are going well between them and you, but then you "disappear" without saying goodbye. This is the worst thing and unintentionally lowers your self-worth. Therefore, you should behave like a grown man.If you no longer have feelings for her then politely and gently tell her, give her that respect, because she deserves it Sometimes girls can feel uncertain about your feelings for them. Therefore, they would love to hear you remind and confirm your feelings for her once again.You don't have to repeat it 24/7 because it can make her feel bored and suffocated. But, if she doesn't listen to your reassurances, she may feel insecure about your feelings. Another bad thing that girls often encounter is not being able to predict a man's behavior. Therefore, you should not say one thing and do another, but always be consistent between your words and actions, that will make girls always respect you.
