Bag Collection

My Bag Collection

I have always loved bags as I think they are the most important part of a girls life and you can defiantly never have to many! As I am still only young and don't have much money so I only have a few bags. i hope you enjoy!

This is my latest bag which I got for my birthday from my lovely friend. The bag is from H&M, I have looked online and in my nearest stores and sadly I don't think they are selling them any more. It is black faux leather with gold hard wear with two big zips down both sides, these both open to the same pocket. Inside there is one main pocket then one small zip pocket and two phone size pockets. This is my bag at the moment and I love it, its the perfect size to fit the essentials in but also leaving enough room for any of those small cheeky purchase. 



This next bag is from Primark, I got it in there christmas sale so again I don't think you will be able to find it any more. This bag is a black and white satchel/messenger style, this also has gold hard wear and a ted baker style bow on the front (everyone like a bit of ted baker real or fake). This bag is great as it is a good size with a few small pockets but also it goes with everything weather you are dressing up or its just a quite stop at Sainsburys.



This bag is also a satchel/messenger style, again I bought this quite a few years ago (it is looking quite worn out) from New Look so they don't stock it any more but there are many bags like this around at the moment. This bag is a bit smaller then the other two bags but is till a good size, just like the others it has gold hard wear and inside there is a few smaller pockets. I don't use this bag anymore as it is looking a bit worse for wear but I thought I would still include it as I loved it so much.



This bag is by far my favourite bags being from Accessorizes  as I love the cut out detail on the front. It is about the same size as my H&M bag but is a messenger bag style with the flap at the front, again it has gold hard wear this also comes with a long strap but I lost mine not that I was ever going to use it. love this bags in the spring and summer so I cant wait to start using it ageing as finally the weather is finely wring up in england!



Finally this is my first ever proper handbag which is also from Accessorize. This is quite different to all my other bags as this is mainly made from fabric and it has a tropical print and it has no structure to it. Just like all my other bags it has gold hard wear and a few small pockets inside. I don't use this bag any more as its not the style that I go for but I am keeping it just incase I want to use it again.

Well I never new I liked gold hard wear so much! I'm sorry I couldn't leave a link to any of the bags but they wear all bought a long time a go. I hope you liked the photos as they should be better quality then photos from my other post, I got a camera for my birthday but I'm still getting used to it so bear with me on that on. hope you are having a nice day!

First Impressions

My first impressions on the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24h

Most of you don't no but it is my birthday today and one of the presents I got from my sister what the Maybelline gel eyeliner in back. I had never tried a gel liner before so I thought it was about time. 


This is what it looks like when you take it out of the box you get the pot with the eyeliner in and then a small travel size brush.

From the box it claims to have a gel formula which it does. it is meant to last for 24hours with no transfer with strong pigmentation with easy application.


When first applying I found it went on smoothly and it was very pigmented, I used the brush that came with it and surprisingly it made putting on eyeliner every easy as in the past I have always struggled with it.






After 4 hours
 So from looking at the mirror it looks basically the same ashen I first put it on so it has dried to a mat black. It has not transferred or smudged which is amazing. So far I am very impressed!



After another 4 hours
After 8 hours from when I first put the eyeliner on I can see for the mirror that the colour has faded a bit but there is still smudging or transferring. Well I am still very impressed!

lastly another 4 hours
So finally after 12 hours of wearing the eye liner I can see that this time it looks a little more faded then last time but also it has transferred a little on the crease of my eyelid considering my eyelids are quite oily and most eyeliners smudge with in an hour this has done surprisingly well. Ohh and one other thing to add when taking it of I suggest an eye makeup remover as I think with a face wipe it could be quite tricky.



Just a little picture of me on my birthday wearing the eyeliner!



Over all for a drugstore gel eyeliner that is only £7.99 I think it is great! I would defiantly recommend this for first time buyers of makeup or gel eyeliner users. Hope you like this type of blog and please comment down below if you have any ideas about what I could write in the future.

Battle of the Micellar Waters

Loreal Micellar water or Garnier Micellar water

When it comes to taking of my makeup I used to just use makeup wipes, but when I decovered micellar water my life changed! 

Loreal skin perfection 3 in 1 purifying micellar solution



This retails at around £4.99 in a 200ml bottle. It claims to dissolve makeup, unclog pores and remove impurities and lastly to tone and sooth skin. I would say for my skin it only really removed the makeup and soothes skin, I didn't see and noticeable difference in my pores. As for the smell it has quite a strange smell but is not of putting. When you first put apply it to your face it is a little sticky but that soon fades away, after woulds it makes the face feel smooth and the smell has gone. Over all it works very well at getting all traces of makeup, for taking of eye makeup it dose work but I prefer to use a eye makeup remover.


Garnier micellar cleansing water





This one also retails at £4.99, but is bottle contains 400ml which they say is 200 uses. This one claims to remove makeup, cleanses and soothes, it also says it is stables for sensitive skin. I would say that it does every thing that it says it will which is very pleasing. Just like the other one it starts off it feels slightly sticky on then the skin but within a few seconds it is gone and you are left with makeup free smooth skin! As for the smell I would say it basically dosent  have one which is good. Just like the other one it is excellent at taking of your face makeup but it is not as good with eye makeup so again I would still use a separate makeup remover for the eyes. I would recommend this and I think it should be a staple in someones skincare routine.

As you may be able to tell I would recommend the Garnier micellar cleansing water purely because you get more for your money and it docent have a strong smell. Sorry that you have been waiting for this so long but is finally here! I hope you found this useful.
