WHAT'S IN MY MARCH MAKE UP BAG: ALL TIME FAVOURITES, NEWBIES AND REDISCOVERIES


This month, for the first time in the short history of Brighton Dream, I decided to make a "What's In My Make Up Bag" post. There are some all time favourites included in this post as well as newbies and rediscoveries. Let's start with my favourites. My make up bag always (I mean ALWAYS) includes the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I use it all year long, even in winter even though it's supposed to be a summer foundation. That's how much I love it. Other all time favourites are a Rimmel Stay Matte powder, Bourjois Bronzing Powder and Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss lipstick.

As for the newbies, I've been really loving the new Max Factor Excess Volume Extreme Impact mascara. I've written a review about it here. Another new thing that's found its place in my March make up bag is of course theBalm Frat Boy blush, my "monthly treat".  

As for the rediscoveries, there are two. The first one is my once favourite but forgotten GOSH eyeliner. I am not sure whether it's still available because I bought it more than a year ago I think. And it still works! A miracle, I know. The second rediscovery and the last item that has been in my make-up bag for the whole month is a NYC Metro Quartet Eye Shadow in Union Square. I also don't think it's still available. I've bought this little palette last year, used it couple of times and forgotten about it. And now, just when I've learned how to do the "crease thing" it's perfect. I'm using the darkest shade for the crease and the lightest one all over the lid. Then I just add a little eyeliner and I'm good to go. That's the make up I've been rocking almost everyday since the beginning of March.

MY THOUGHTS ON: NYC IN A NEW YORK COLOUR MINUTE QUICK DRY NAIL POLISHES

When I was still in Ireland I bought two NYC In a New York Colour Minute Quick Dry nail polishes. I really wish there were more colours available in that drugstore because oh man, these nail polishes are amazing!


Unfortunately I got only two of them. The first one is called Manhattan which is a very deep burgundy/plummy tone. This shade is perfect for the Autumn and Winter. I've been using it so much for the past three months. The other nail polish I bought is called Blue Sky. I don't think the name is relevant here as it is a bright mint green. This shade on the other side is perfect for Spring and Summer. I think I could successively survive a whole year with just these two! 

I just adore the formula of these nail polishes! The brush makes it super easy to apply and it dries very quickly. I wouldn't say it dries in one minute, especially when it comes to the second layer but it surely does dry quicker than most of my nail polishes. It takes two coats for each of them to be completely opaque. Both of these nail polishes have an amazing gloss finish. As for the price (£1.79) these nail polishes truly are amazing and I will definitely get more shades if I get the chance!
