Blog Every Day in August - Day 5

Today's theme is "What's in my make up bag?" Well, I don't wear make up very often but I sure do seem to have a lot of it!

I keep my make up in this case, my father in law bought it for me a looong time ago. It's huge!

Here you can see dry shampoo and my big eyeshadow palette. 

Now on to some favourites!

This is one of my most used eyeshadow palettes, it's an Urban Decay one that I've had for years. 

This is MAC concealer, it's super pale and it's my favourite. This is a new tube I treated myself to a couple of months ago because I lost my old one and I find it difficult to match any others to my skin tone. 

This is one of my favourite lipsticks, it's by Rimmel. 

This is my only mascara, also by Rimmel. It's brown black because I find black too harsh on my eyelashes. 

And THIS is my best kept secret! It's the BEST blusher for my skin tone, it isn't too pink but kind of bronzed pink. One small sweep goes a loooong way!

What I Wore 21st August

21st August was Lee's birthday. He was born on his dad's 21st birthday, and also happens to share it with the late great Joe Strummer. During the day we went swimming at a leisure pool in Sheffield, and in the evening we went to Akhbars in Leeds for curry with my mum and stepdad. It was so good!

Here's what I wore. I didn't get the Beth Ditto dress the first time around but I managed to get this on eBay for around £15 a couple of years ago. I've only worn it once before but I can't for the life of me remember why! I love it! I'm wearing a cardigan because I'm self conscious about my upper arms, but I did take it off in the restaurant as I was just so hot!

Dress, Beth Ditto at Evans

Cardigan, New Look

Leggings, H&M

And here's my face. The lipstick is Russian Red by MAC, it was an anniversary present that I bought in Manchester airport on our way to Spain. I scrub up alright, don't I?
