I think that this may be my most pared-back What’s In My Makeup Bag video ever: really just the very bare minimum, with the few products I did use tested to the absolute nth degree. I filmed it quite a few weeks ago now and I still hadn’t really unpacked (catch up on house news here) and so I had been using the same makeup bits over and over again. I can’t actually believe that any of them are still going, but there’s loads left in my Chanel foundation and I barely made a dent in the Trinny cream shadows!
Anyway, this is one to watch rather than read about so that you can see the products in action. I’ve done a full review on both the Chanel Les Beiges foundation (here) and Trinny London’s cream shadows (here) if you fancy a more in-depth read on those. The Victoria Beckham lipstick is a new discovery in just the right shade of bright peachy-neutral for me and I’ll be back with a post on that when I’ve done a bit more playing around. The texture is superb!

I’d love a post on beauty pie products! Just signed up and experiencing decision paralysis about what to buy.
Hi Ruth – not related to this post but to your Spring essentials I think…
Do you know if the Elizabeth A Great 8 SPF has been discontinued?! I wanted to try after your review but seems it’s out of stock everywhere!
Hope you’re well and good luck with the renos!
Apparently production is on hold. That’s all I know. The idea of it stopping makes me weepy.
Thanks for replying! Ah no – it sounded like the type of product which would actually make me wear spf without disliking the heavy feeling. The search goes on…
Soo sad! My other fave clinique pep start spf25 is also not to be found :(
I’m making do with alpha h spf50s in the meantime :( .
Yes please to a post on brown mascara!!!!! I have been trying to switch to brown mascara for a while as I also think it looks better colour wise for me but so far haven’t found one that does everything I want. I used to have lovely lashes but now I am in my 50s they are much more sparse so mascara is an absolute must. Why is there such a difference between black and brown performance wise? I feel like I keep spending money but with very little result.
Maybe it’s something to do with the waxes? I’ll try and find out!
