Requested; Pics of my Collection...

Hi Everyone,

First of all, I want to say I'm so pleased to the reaction to my tag post! I hope you all enjoyed doing this as much as I've enjoyed reading the responses! I've found all the products that got you hooked really cool to read about - we are all passionate about our makeup and thats for sure!

So this post was requested by two of the people I follow and who also follow me (Kelly and Laura)... and its pics of my collection of makeup. I want to say before I go any further though, that I'm not doing this to brag or boast or anything - my collection is not really that big (in my opinion - there are always more things to add lol!) , so please don't post any nasty comments or anything as I really am not trying to come across that way...

So I've tried to do things in some kind of logical order - and I've grouped products together rather than photograph every single item on its own - that would just simply have taken too long haha! My photographer (my lovely BF) would also not have enjoyed having to do this... So deep breath and here we go!


1. The place I keep all stash - bought these little drawer sets from IKEA and they will do for now...


2. My foundation's - yes I know most people only have one or two, but I like playing about with different looks on my skin etc. I have a problem lol!

So we have MAC Studio fix fluid, Mac Studio Tech, NARS Firming Foundation, MAC Studio stick, MAC Full Coverage, Clinique supermoist, my MAC concealer and a product from the Body Shop which can be mixed in with liquid foundation for a luminizing effect...


3. Mineral Foundations and face powders...

This is mostly from bare escentuals... I have the foundation in light and light-med, a little refillable compact, radiance powders, warmth powder, well rested for eyes concealer and mineral veil. At the back of the pic is a collection of everyday minerals samples in various colours..

4. My Makeup Brushes...

I've also pictured my fix+ and brush cleaner here.. Various brushes from MAC, Bare escentuals, the body shop and everyday minerals amongst others, as well as my tweezermans.

5. Random other bits of mineral makeup...

This is all from a couple of kits I bought from Bare Escentuals - two Buxom lip glosses which are tingly and minty on the lips, last very well and I like the colours... The rocker eye kit, which I posted about in Jan, and a blusher and three purple shadows from another kit - all good for smoky looks!



6. Face Powders and Mineral Skin Finishes...

At the back we have prescriptives magic liquid powder, then a MAC SE from the fafi collection, at the front MSF's in natural, soft and gentle and a Lancaster bronzer which was given to me by Happy1234 (thank you!!!)

7. Blush collection.

Back row has a Revlon blush from a couple of yrs ago, a chanel one I wore when I got married (but don't hold that against it lol), NARS Nico and Albatross/Orgasm duo. At the front MAC blush in well dressed, peachykeen, harmony(which I use for contouring) and creme blush in lilicent, a Dior show blush given to me by Happy1234 (thanks again!) and a creme colour base in improper copper.

8. Lipsticks.


I'm not going to list all these but they include a Mac palette from last Christmas, a couple of rouge veluptes and my nudes...

9. Lipglosses.

The two chanel ones at the laft were LE and they glow under fluorescent/blacklights. Then we have three BE ones, MAC ones and various other random ones from YSL, a juicy tube and a MAC tinted lipbalm...

10. Eyeliners...

So here we have a shadestick in jaded, my Urban Decay 24/7 sets (velvet rope and another one which I cant remember the name of - these were out at Christmas...), Barry M lip and eye crayons, a MAC liquidlast, one of those guerlain Kohl things in navy, Mac fluidlines in blacktrack and brassy and various randoms from Ruby and Millie, Loncome, No 7...

11. Eye Shadows...

Some more close up pics;

At the back, my pigments in pink-bronze and blue-brown, palettes from chanel and YSL, my NARS duos and singles a few Barry M dazzle dusts, Paintpots in painterly, blackground, nice vice (from Fafi collection)and rubinesque, a sleek pigment in dark purple and various single MAC shadows including contrast, beauty marked trax and star violet...

12. Eye palettes... (hope you aren't too bored yet lol!)

Urban Decay's book of shadows, which I love, packaging is very pretty and OTT! Great shadows and colour range.

A cheap and cheerful one from Sleek, (sold in Superdrug) I have to confess I've yet to try this out!

My MAC palette. Colours from top to botom, left to right... Brule, copperized, mythology, samoa silk, antiqued, honeylust, vex, idol eyes, typographic, humid and chrome.

13. A couple of Chanel LE kits...


Lip and eye palette...

'Les Guaches' for eyes lips and cheeks.

14. Random Bits and Bobs...

at the back we have my brow kit from urban decay, mascaras (YSL false lasy, Max factor masterpiec max and 2000 calorie and a tester from No 7), UDPP. Then at the front, MAC matte gel, lanacane anti-chafing gel-powder (This works as a primer as it's full of silicone - similar to monistat gel that all the USA girls rave about!) MAC prep and prime, strobe cream, YSL Touche Eclat and my eyelash curlers...

So there we go! Well done if you've lasted through the whole post!
If you want a review of anything I've mentioned, swatches etc, then leave me a comment and I'll do my best to do it!
Hope you enjoyed... would love any comments of course!
