Last year I overhauled my cosmetics bag and started again, I literally threw everything out and started from scratch. I am a make up junky, however after the overhaul my cosmetics bag is looking quite minimalist…. So here is what it now consists of…
Foundation Revlon was replaced by Almay Pure Blends
I loved the Revlon foundation, but I could feel my skin stinging every time I applied it, the Almay replacement is lovely, its so light on the skin, I can almost feel my skin breathing a sigh of relief.
VERDICT :)
Finishing Powder Non was replaced by Nutrimedics.
This is a recent addition, it is a great powder, I am seriously n love with it, but I think it will have to be retired, as the ingredients list is seriously naughty. VERDICT :(
Blush Bloom was replaced by Almay Pure Blends
I had the cutest Bloom Blush compact, and to be honest I still haven’t thrown it out, its just too cute. The Pure Blends blush pigment strength is a touch too light for what I want, I have to put on a few layers before I am happy, but on the bright side I never leave the house with unblended blush!
VERDICT :)
Bronzer Bloom was replaced by the Body Shop
This was really hard to find, in the end I bought a bronzer from the Body Shop, it has a warning on the packaging saying: may contain traces of Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxide, but this is just to cover themselves incase some of the machines still have residue from other products. It’s a good strong colour, you have to be careful that you don’t end up with two brown stripes on your face, but with a bit of blending it brings out a lovely sun kissed cheek.
VERDICT :)
Mascara Still looking….
I am currently using a Nutrimetics and a Maybelline mascara, neither of them are natural, but I just haven’t been able to find a natural mascara that has the wow factor, still looking.
VERDICT :(
Eyeliner M.A.C was replaced by Living Nature
Living Nature eyeliner in black and brown, they have a nice texture and melt on to the eye lid (with a little help from my hair dryer)
VERDICT :)
Eye shadow hundreds were replaced by one Almay Pure Blends
Almay Pure Blends Eye Shadow in copper, the colour is ok but the range is pretty basic, I am still looking for a range that rocks the colour like Napolean Perdis.
VERDICT :)
On the whole I’m pretty happy with the quality of the products, there are still a few things still on the wish list though
THE WISH LIST....
More eye Shadows, more colours!
Finishing Powder, this one is super hard as all natural powders have Titanium Dioxide in them.

I’ll keep you posted on my hunt for the complete natural beauty bag.
