What's in my School Makeup Bag!

Ted Baker Small Bow Wash Bag £27

Because my school bag isn't that big, this small Ted Baker wash bag is the perfect size, plus it fits everything in perfectly. It is shiny baby pink with a rose gold bow and zip. I bought it in the sales for £19 but it was originally £27 and even if it seems pricey, it is definitely worth the money. It can be used for many things and is strong and sturdy. These are the things I keep in my school makeup bag:
Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Champagne Toast £6.99
Superdrug Salt Spray £2.99
Urban Decay Lipgloss in Liar £14
Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara £19.50
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in Vanilla £10.99
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent £3.99
Miss Sporty Mini Me Eye Liner £2.59
Mac Lipstick in Viva Glam £15.50

Introduction&Top 3 Lipsticks

Hello everyone! I cant wait to start this blog and to continue to upload blog posts. Hopefully there will be some people who will enjoy them. Just as an little introduction, my name is Sophie if you cant already tell, and I will be posting mostly beauty, fashion and sometimes life and general stuff. I would love it if you could comment your feedback, follow and request ideas for future blog posts!:)

For this post, I will be talking about my top three favourite lipsticks at the moment, when I wear them and what with. 

The three lipsticks that I have enjoyed most over the past few months have been, Viva Glam Rhianna 2 by Mac, Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 and Crème de la Femme by Mac.




Macs Viva Glam Rhianna 2

Viva Glam Rhianna 2 by Mac is the perfect glossy nude. I got this for Christmas and it is already my favourite lipstick. It suits every style of make up and I feel like it compliments my face. The consistency is very moisturising which I love. I have especially enjoyed wearing this in the winter when I have not wanted to wear a bright lipstick. If you are looking for a good quality lipstick that is nude, goes with a lot of different styles of make up, and lasts a good amount of time, then I would definitely recommend trying out this one. 
Rimmel Kate Moss in 107
Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 is my go-to autumn/winter shade. It is very moisturising, but does need topping up on if you are wearing it all night or day. I feel it suits me well because I have dark brown hair plus its shade is not too red but not too purple, the perfect in between. As it is quite bold, I line my lips with the Mac lip liner in More To Love, just to make sure it stays on and that I don't go over my lips when applying it. Also, I would really recommend looking at the other shades in this collection as they aren't pricey, great quality and you can find them in most drug stores.

Macs Crème de la Femme

Crème de la Femme is a really cute shimmery pink shade. It is very moisturising and is perfect for the Spring and Summer. It goes with a lot of different eye shadows, from pinks to browns. Its also a nice shade to put under a clear lip gloss as a suttle pink for school. I think that it is a great everyday shade, and if you are starting out with make up and want a good quality lipstick, this would be a great investment.
