Whats in my bag?

 

So I apologise that this isn't a video, but I'm not quite ready for the whole Youtube thing yet! Anyway, the other night, I slept over my best friends house (shoutout to Nia if you're reading even though you're probably not), and when I got home, I was thinking of what to post next and as I was emptying my handbag I had a brainstorm and thought.. 'why not show you what I carry around?'.

If you're anything like me and you're nosy, then i'm sure you'll enjoy this post!;-)

 

 

 

 

My bag is from Very.com and it was around £25 but I'm not entirely sure (sorry!!) It's quite small, but you can fit quite a lot in there!:-)

 

So clearly i'm not the most organised when it comes to my handbag.. but here I go...

 

 

 

Here are a few random bits, like the dust bag for my dance shoes, that I was too lazy too take out! That is the main reason that's in there! Then I've got a random leaflet that this lovely lady gave me in a French vintage shop (this was ages ago, which shows how rarely I clean out this bag). And of course a Mcdonalds Monopoly sticker.. no comment there.

  

 

Then theres some essentials like a garnier invisicool deodorant, which wouldn't usually be in there, but is at the moment because of the sleepover... Of course I carry my huge makeup bag with me! (comment if you'd like and updated post of whats in there) and my holy grail lip balm -  Burts Bees. I can guarantee that if you were to ever see me in person, i'd be either wearing, or carrying this lip balm! And then of course I have a perfume just to be prepared!

 

 

So usually my beats pill isn't in here, but it just goes too show how much you can actually fit in this bag! Ignore the extremely dirty Clinique mirror... and all my keyrings!

 

 

As you can see, i'm a slight germophobe and always carry a hand sanitizer.. this particular one is from Bath and body works and its called 'Honolulu sun'. Then I've got my favourite La Roche-Posay Effaclar do+, which can I add is the BEST imperfections cream for me! The watch is a Michael Kors chronograph rose gold MK-5314 which retails for about £160-£250. And a pen which always comes in handy!

 

 

I found a few random beauty bits, floating at the bottom of my bag so i'll list them!

• Mac lustre lipstick in plumful
• Mac lipliner in half red
• Eos Lip balm in strawberry sorbet and summer fruits

so thanks for  reading, and I hope you enjoyed that little insight on whats usually in my bag! comment below what you'd like to see next

 

I love you <3

benefit roller lash | product review

 

 

 

This to me, may be the best thing since sliced bread! Obviously you've heard about benefits newest addition - Roller Lash. This mascara is advertised to curl, and volumise your lashes without the need of eyelash curlers, so I obviously had to see what all the fuss was about!!

 

 

The legendary ELLE magazine, came up with the amazing idea to debut the mascara in they're issue, so instantly I rushed to my nearest Tesco and grabbed it before it dissapeared!;-)

 

I personally am a HUGE fan of minis as they are super cute and are great for your handbag and are 100% practical for travelling.. even if I don't do too much of it! Anyway, as soon as I got home I stripped off my makeup and wacked on some of this new so called amazing new mascara... and I was drawn too it straight away!!

 

On the packaging, it states that it is a 'hook n roll' brush with a patent-pending hook design which positions catches, lifts and curls... which basically means there are tiny hooks on some bristles which catch every lash whether they are small or big, also, the curved edge of the brush creates length and volume. because the brush is quite small, you can use it on your bottom lashes as there is a shorter side of the brush for this! It claims that its also a 12-hour lasting formulation.

 

97% said it visibly lifted lashes

87% said it gives long-lasting curl

94% said eyes look more wide open

(in the survey of 31 women after 4 weeks)

 

 

Now for my opinion, I think that this mascara does exactly what it says! my lashes are blonde and are basically non existing without mascara.. and i'm terrible at getting nice lashes, but this mascara has honestly made a difference as it opens up my tiny eyes, and the best thing? NO more eyelash curlers for me!! the formulation is quite similar to 'They're Real' which is also by Benefit, but I noticed how it was reasonably thinner.. and also not as volumising as that isn't the purpose for Roller Lash! if you're looking for an eye-opening, lengthening mascara, then this is one for you!

 

tip- after a thin coat of Roller Lash, you can apply a thin coat of They're Real, for that extra effect!

 

 

 

I love you,

Obsessed! - PLL

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First of all, if you don't have Netflix, or a site in which you can watch series, or just don't watch the tv at all.. you probably wont have any idea what Pretty Little Liars is.

As you may or may not know from instagram, I am pretty obsessed with Ian Somerhalder in The Vampire Diaries, and I got slightly depressed when I finished season 5 and realised I couldn't watch season 6 episode 1(anyone know where I can?) . So of course I had to adopt a new series!

Id heard a few people rave about PLL and I nearly died of excitement (and fell off my bed) when they introduced it to my Netflix (best. thing. ever!)

 

So basically Pretty Little Liars is based on 5(or 4) girls, that are hooked on finding out what happened too their friend Alison who was murdered.

 

This post may bore you to death, but I just had to mention this show, because its soo addictive and o wanted to vary my posts;-)

should I do some sort of tag next?

 

love you all

Hello world | Q&a

Recently, a few friends have been nagging me to start a blog, and I never listened. I didn't listen because I thought that no one would read it and it would just be a complete fail. But then I decided that if I never tried, I`d never know right?
So here I am, bringing idkcaits to life(that sounded A LOT better in my head).
    I had no idea how to start a blog, in fact, I must have thought about it forever! but then I finally decided, that because you clearly know nothing about me, I`d ask my lovely Instagram followers at idkcaits_, to chip in and ask me some questions!
So get ready to learn some things that you probably don't care about
here it goes:

1. Who`s your favourite youtuber?
 - This is actually so hard, because I practically live on Youtube.. Probably TheSacconeJolys, Zoella and Tanya Burr (more than one.. Oops)

2. What`s your favourite drugstore makeup brand?
- If you count what I have more of.. it would probably be Rimmel, although I do love a good quality MUA product!

3. If you could wish for one thing, what would it be?
-I`d wish for people to read this blog;)

4. What`s your holy grail makeup product?
- My famous Rimmel glam eyes black liquid eyeliner all the way!

5. What is your one item of clothing I couldn't live without?
- My black suede Chelsea boots (because I practically live in those too!)

6. Whats your favourite yankee candle?
- Honestly I don't have a favourite, because I switch them all the time, although at the moment its Blissful autumn.

7. Why did you decide to start a blog?
- Long story short, I basically loved all of my instagram followers, and I adored showing them what I loved, I got a new laptop, and thought 'hey, why not start a blog?' and here I am!

8. Fav emoji?
- As i`m on a laptop I cant show you, but the crying laughing emoji all the way because it never fails to make an awkward situation better.


So theres a bit of an insight into my life;)
Now its my turn to ask the question...
What would you like to see on my next post?

Thanks for taking time to read my post!
love, Caitlin xx
