What is in my daily makeup bag?

So I have no idea if you are interested or not, but I love reading these blog posts, so thought I would do my own!!
In my daily makeup bag I have:
  • Bare Minerals (starter set- foundation, concealer and mineral veil in fairly light).
  • Another foundation Bourjois Healthy Mix (shade 51)
  • Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream lip protector
  • Bobbi Brown corrector in light bisque
  • Urban Decay original primer potion (mini size)
  • M.A.C Mineralize Skin Finish in Blonde
  • M.A.C Sincere blush
  • Jemma Kidd Dewy glow in iced gold
  • Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer (shade 51)
  • Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash mascara in Ultra black
  • Maybelline Colour Sensational cream gloss (shade 137 Fabulous Pink)
  • Clinique bottom lash mascara in black/ brown
  • M.A.C brow pencil in Fling
  • M.A.C eyeliner in Coffee
  • Benefit High Brow
You may have noticed I have 2 foundation/ concealer sets in here! I use my Bare Minerals when I am at work (simply because its quicker and I don't wear much makeup to work, also it allows my acne to breathe a bit and clear up). However if I am busy in the evenings or at weekends I wear my beloved Bourjois foundation and concealer. I always make sure I highlight and alternate between my M.A.C Mineralize Skin Finish (limited edition) and my Jemma Kidd dewy glow. Both of these are brilliant products and look beautiful as a highlight colour at the top of the cheeks, under the brow, down the bridge of the nose and on the cupids bow.The Jemma Kidd product is a cream product and so is super easy to work with, so easy in fact that I have hit pan on it : (! I don't have a contour shade in here simply because I don't always do it for day to day wear.
You may have noticed there are no eye shadows in my bag. This is because I use my M.A.C palette and alternate between some different shades in there. 
My M.A.C palette


As you can see my palette is a jumble of lots of different colours, I have collected (and I use them all, just not at the same time haha). I do tend to use the left hand side of this palette more, as they are my daily shades. On a typical morning I will use Shroom (bottom left) all over my eye with Patina (bottom row, second from left) blended into it for a bit of colour. I then use my coffee eye pencil to line my eyes and then mascara. Finally I use Benefits high Brow under my brows (obviously) and sometimes in my water line, just to counteract the redness when I'm tired. Before I run out the door I throw on some lip protector, grab my bags and fly out the door (usually forgetting something)
My makeup bag is from my beloved Cath Kidston (I literally adore these products....I am secretly a flowery housewife waiting to come out..wooohooo. My poor boyfriend)!  Anyway so there you have it, my daily makeup bag and all its goodies! So what are your daily products?!!
