Models Own Haul!

Heya!So I am back for my second post this week yay! I've actually managed to find time! I hope you are all okay! So I wanted to do a post about all the beauty products I got at the clothes show but there were so many so I've decided to split it into two blog posts because the majority of it was ether from models own or Barry M! So this post is going to be all about the models own makeup I managed to pick up and I will probably get around to doing a post about my Barry M stuff just after Christmas so make sure you look out for that!
So without further ado lets get started! Basically I thought I would explain to you the deals first before you all think I went absolutely crazy and just brought tonnes of models own stuff! So the deal was you could choose four things on display from models own for £10 and with that you would receive a free goodie bag! Now the goodie bag was the same as last years which I also got however I had used most of the stuff up and I wanted to re purchase it again anyway! So for the four items I chose three nail polishes and an eye shadow pallet. The first nail polish I chose was a grey colour with a gel effect. I chose this polish because I didn't already own a grey polish and I guess it was an elegant grey opposed to a dull grey. I also chose it because the colour would suit most things and also the gel effect would make my nails look more professional. I have actually already worn this polish I just couldn't resit and I really loved it!
Secondly I chose another gel effect polish because it creates a really lovely polished look (excuse the pun). This time I chose a turquoise colour despite it not being a seasonal colour at the moment. I wanted to ensure I chose colours which I didn't all ready have, and I love how bright and fun this colour looked. I also thought it would be perfect for the summer holidays!
My third polish I chose was also not a very seasonal appropriate colour however, I also didn't have this colour and it really stood out for me! Not only because of the vibrancy and brightness of the colour but also I don't know why but I have really fallen in love with orange tones recently and feel like this will be prefect for 2016 spring! It also seemed like such a cheery colour and anything to make my day a little more bright I will opt for!Now the fourth thing I chose to get was not actually nail polish but it was in fact a mini eye shadow pallet. They had several colours for the eye shadow pallets however I chose a nude purely because this is so much more practical for everyday use and I am running low on my current nude coloured eye shadow. I also felt that the colours in the pallet would blend really nicely together. Plus it came with a mirror, how perfect for travel!
Now moving on to the models own goodie bag! So this is what came free with my models own purchases. In my opinion I think this is a great goodie bag it has so much in it and that's why I had to share it with you guys! So what's inside…Firstly Inside the good bag was another nude coloured eye shadow pallet. This only had two shades but they were completely opposite tones of nude so would be great for blending. They also came in a nice little case which kept them tidy but the see through lid meant it is convenient to see this colours without having to remove it. I also liked that these eye shadows had a natural shimmer to them.
The next thing I got in my goodie bag was eye shadow applicators. These are are not brushes however I feel for a bolder colour when you don't want to blend they are better to use, or even if you don't want to have to keep washing your brushes and you stick to a certain colour for each applicator. I often use these a base coat for an eye shadow colour before applying the colours I want to blend with an eye shadow brush. Also these were the exact applicators I have been using which I had also got last year from the clothes show, however I really needed some more so I was very pleased this came in the goodie bag. Also The applicators are a perfectly length they are not to short but are small enough to store anywhere and fit in makeup bags.
A similar thing which I got in my models own goodie bag was makeup sponges. To be honest I don't actually use makeup sponges but I was still pleased to get them as they are something which I have been meaning to try out just for experimental purposes to be honest. Also there are a lot of makeup sponges which are cheap which just feel like they would be rubbish for applying makeup however these sponges felt very high quality. 
In my goodie bag I also got a four way nail fail. This basically means the nail fail does four different things but is attached to one nail file. The nail file can be used to file, buff, smooth and shine. This was another item which came in the goodie bag which I was really pleased with because this is something I also used from last years goodie bag however my current one was starting to become a bit warn out. It is also very convenient because it is very short so its small size is great to take with you somewhere as it fits in all of my makeup bags. 
I also got a pocket mirror in my goodie bag which is something I was also pleased about. I also got one of these last years but I find pocket mirrors are just like bobby pins or socks they are just something that always seems to go missing and I mean you just cant have enough of them. I must have a pocket mirror in like every bag now but I mean I think that its just super convenient. Pocket mirrors are just such an ideal thing especially when your wearing lipstick and you have been out for a meal! I also like how small and lightweight this one is. It would be perfect for a little clutch bag.
Another thing which I got in the goodie bag was an eyelash curler. I think this will certainly come in handy and was great to get in a goodie bag because it is one of those things you don't want to go out and buy but you want to have. I also liked that its black because it makes it look more expensive and also it is very lightweights which is great because in the past I have used heavy metal eyelash curlers and they are just not practical.
Now this next thing I am very very happy to have got once again in my goodie bag. It is a nail art pen. This is something which I got last year but I liked it so much I have already used it all up. So I was really pleased about this. It is black colour which is great because it goes with most polishes you wear. And basically it is like nail varnish however it has a really small hole were it comes out more like a roller pen and when you squeeze it a small amount comes out which makes it very practical for doing nail art and design on your nails.
In my goodie bag I also got a high pigmented coloured lip gloss. This was great because I love love love bright lips! As most of you are probably aware. However I sometimes feel like lipstick can just feel a bit dry on you lips. (not all lipsticks but sometimes) especially in the winter months. So a high pigmented brightly coloured lipstick is just great because lipstick always feels so great to wear but normally just doesn't give the same colour effect as lipstick. I haven't tried this out yet but I am really excited too.
As well as a lip gloss i also got a lip balm. This was also something i was very excited to get because i had also got this last year but had used it all up and i just find it is a great lip balm to apply before lipstick or just to wear around the house to g=keep my lips hydrated. It is also nice and small and not over packaged so is great to take on the go. The colour is very neutral looking and also smells very neutral which is practically great. because i feel like allot of makeup these days is scented which is nice but when you start wearing a lot of makeup like this when you are going out it can just make you smell like you've visited a perfume store and tired out every scent. haha.
The goodie bag also include two eyeliners. Both of them are black however one is a plain black and one is a sparkly black. They also differ in width. I was very pleased that both of them came in the goodie bag because the sparkly one is great for going out because it creates a more dressed up look but the plain black colour makes sure your makeup doesn't look to over the top. However I was particularly pleased the thin plain black eyeliner came in the goodie bag again this year because this is what i use for my everyday under eye eyeliner and I have really got on well with it however I have been coming to an end of my previous one.
Models Own has done me well this year at The Clothes Show and you can probably tell by now that I am really happy with my purchases! I also brought a lot form Barry M products so I will be doing another post on that so keep your eyes peeled! I hope you are all having a lovely Christmas holidays! Thanks once again for reading!Jodie x
