Drugstore makeup is great and its hard to know what pieces to choose from the sea of products available in Boots, so I've decided to put together a little makeup kit, great if you are starting out with makeup, or want to completely refresh your makeup bag with great new stuff but that won't break the bank.

Bronzers For Pale Skin

Bronzers can be tricky if you have pale skin. I have a very pale complexion and like to add a hint of colour to give some glow to my almost transparent skin but finding one thats not too dark or too orange is a challenge.

Urban Decay - Naked On The Run

Feel Unique did an amazing 25% off sale recently and I managed to get my hands on the beautiful Urban Decay Naked On The Run Palette for the amazing price only £27.75! Normally retailing at £37 I couldn't resist purchasing it. Not only will this be great for taking on my travels to Paris in May but it also gives me the opportunity to test out some of their products I've not tried before. Plus it comes in a rose gold case! *drools*

Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette

I've been wanted to try out the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette for ages! I've seen so many beauty bloggers use it and rave about it. I picked up the shade Streak, which contains a peachy pink blush, a shimmery highlighter and a nice gold toned bronzer. I love the set, which will be great for travelling as it contains all three products and they work so well together. You can use the 3 separately or swirl them all together to use over the cheeks. The pigmentation is good and the price was reasonable for 3 great products in one palette. I think this little palette will be perfect for giving me some colour coming into spring/summer.
