Hello all!
Today I thought I would continue on with my posts on my current favourite products, and today it is my favourite skincare products!
Garnier Moisture Match (Wake Me Up) Gel:
Garnier brought out a few months ago their moisture match range of creams. They also gave you the chance to sample all of the available types for free if you requested a sample pack on their website - which I did!! I always have so much trouble when it comes to creams for my face as they usually break me out if they are too heavy or greasy/oily. But this one I got is a gel one, and it was the only one out of the samples I could get on with! It's called Wake Me Up, and it really does wake you up in the morning! I love the fact that this product is a gel formula and it doesn't linger on my skin. It absorbs really quickly into my skin and leaves me feeling fresh faced and wide awake! I love to use this once a week for a pick me up, when my skin is feeling dry and needing a freshen up!
Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Lotion:
I love Vaseline products in general, but vaseline combined with cocoa...omg a dream lotion for me! I really like this lotion a lot. I brought it to try it out and it was only £2.99 so I wasn't expecting much. But I find this lotion really leaves my skin feeling hydrated and moisturised! It don't linger on top of the skin and the scent isn't too overpowering either. But a little of this product goes such a long way and I find it does an amazing job for my skin.I have really been liking to use this now that the colder weather is settling in and for £2.99 I really think it's fantastic.
Vichy Idealia Smoothing And Illuminating Cream:
Now I harp on about this product all the time, whether its here on my blog or even more so in my Youtube videos! But I really do like this cream a lot. I use it in the morning before I apply my makeup, and it leaves my skin looking super dewy and refreshed. It smells like raspberries as well which is a big bonus! I originally tried this in a Glossybox, and immediately feel in love with it. But being £22 it took me a while to bite the bullet and purchase the full size. But of course I did and I am so glad I did. Really worth every penny and it looks pretty smart too! You can usually sample this in most boots stores so defiantly worth checking out!
Elf Makeup Mist & Set Spray:
This setting spray was a trial buy for me. I hadn't heard many people rave about this, and I needed to get a setting spray anyway, so it seemed ideal to purchase this and give it a go! It has aloe, green tea, cucumber and vitamins A,C & E in it, which a good thing because no one wants to be spraying nasty chemicals on their face. The smell isn't that nice, but the overall staying power of the product is amazing. It doesn't mess your makeup up when you first spray it on, and it dries really quickly. I find that my makeup stays on twice as long as normal and I have been loving to use this daily for the past month!
Palmers Cocoa Butter Gradual Tanner:
Again this a product I like and rave about alot! I really love this so so much and I wear over my normal fake tans as it's that good! This is around £5 and is basically a gradual tanner and a moisturiser in one. I would say you 100% need to apply this with a tanning glove/mitt as it does make your hands go super orange, even if you do wash them after! I love this for a natural bronzed look. Being paled skinned sometimes proper fake tans can look OTT on me, but this gradual tan looks so natural and you get a good colouring after one application. It also moisturises the skin which is a bonus, and I have enjoyed wearing this when I was to look a little bit more tanned. It doesn't go on streaky and it smells nice too!
Hi all,
I had been recently thinking about all of the great new products that I have discovered recently and using religiously. So I thought I would do a 'favourites theme' on my next few blog posts, showing you my favourites makeup items, skincare, hair care, nail polishes, etc. I thought I would start off today with my current favourite makeup items, as I do love my makeup! These products are just what I have been reaching to use everyday and loving the most!
MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC20:
I have been loving this foundation so sooooo much since I first purchased it a few months ago. I usually was a drugstore foundation girl, but had got a bit fed up with the same old foundations and wanted something a little more pricier and hopefully better quality! And it is no doubt that MAC products are brilliant quality and this foundation is a beauty! The coverage is brilliant and it matches my skintone perfectly! I find you need to hardly use any product at all as a little goes a long way, and it also stay on all day which means no touch ups, yay!! I was originally only going to use this on special occasions, but it's become one of my most used foundations as I never have any problems with it looking dry, patchy or oily. It just really is perfect, and despite the high price, I would still re-purchase it 100%!!
Ardell Fabulous Lashes in 'Tokyo':
I literally love these lashes so much! They are so natural looking and blend in with your natural lashes perfectly. They do look like they would look fake and in general a bit over the top, but when I fist put these on, they looked gorgeous! They are just a little bit longer than my natural lashes so they don't look fake at all, and they brighten up your eyes, making them look big! These are perfect for night's out when you want a casual but glam look, and even better is the fact you can get these for 99p (YES 99P!!!!) from cosmetics fairy! www.cosmeticsfairy.co.uk
Accessorize Baked Blusher in 'Scandal':
I am a big fan of baked blushers and I love the fact they are shimmery. One of my all time favourites is this one by Accessorize. I have had it for about a year now and it's still pretty much full! You get 8g of products for £4.99, and this blusher is really pigmented and has a gorgeous glow.I love the colour of the products - a lovely warm toned pink with a gorgeous shimmer running through it. It gives your cheeks a natural glow as well as a lovely burst of colour.
Benefit Powder Time Lover:
This little set of powders by Benefit is a little box of luxery. You get two blushers (Dandelion and Coralista) and you also get the Dallas bronzer. I have been loving the bronzer in the little box, it gives me such an amazing glow and warmth to my skin! It blends in super nice into my skin and looks really natural. I have also been loving the coralista blusher for when I'm wearing fake tan (as a darker blush), it looks really pretty! As for the Dandelion blush, as you can see I haven't used that as much but it's really nice for natural makeup days!
Emite Eyelash Curlers:
I got these curlers from a Glossybox and absolutely love them! They are super sturdy and feel very comfortable to use. They make my lashes look longer and they stay like that the majority of the day. Over the years I have tried various curlers but none have worked as well as these!
Urban Decay Naked Flushed:
I have been loving my flushed palette! This little palette from the naked range is a blusher, highlighter and bronzer combo and is only £20! I have been using the highlighter every single day as it gives my cheek bones a gorgeous natural glow and blends in so easily. The bronzer is also lovely and perfect for day to day wear. I have done a full review on this product so if you want to read that then go check out my previous blog posts!!
Maybelline Rocket Mascara:
My holy grail mascara is the loreal false lash flutter, but I have found myself reaching for the rocket mascara alot more recently! I find this mascara so easy to use and because the brush is so huge, it fully coats your lashes and makes them visibly longer! The only downside would be that it's not waterproof, so you often get the product under your bottom eyelashes. But thats no problem as next time I will just get the waterproof one! I think this is the best Maybelline mascara ever out of them all! 100%!!
Bourjois Color Boost in 'Peach On The Beach':
Again this is another product which I have done a full review on so go check that blog post out for more info! But I am in love with this chubby stick! The finish is glossy but also the product stays on for at least 4 hours! The pigmetation is amazing the colour is a gorgeous pinky peach. This is such a flattering product and I have found myself reaching for it daily!
So keep an eye out for more favourite posts over the next few days!
What are your favourites? xx
Hi all,
I have been loving a variety of lip products this summer. But a few have really stood out for me and I keep going back to them day after day. Sooooo, I thought I would share these favourites with you!!!
MAC Lipstick - Pink Pearl Pop
I love Mac lipsticks, and there are so many colours I wear all the time, but this one has really stood out for me. This colour is so gorgeous and is the perfect shade of pink. It borders on the line of being wearable for the daytime and nightime, and it is so pretty! I love the smell of this lipstick and it isn't too drying as it is a creme sheen finish. I have been really liking to wear this in the day time with simple eye makeup, but it also serves well as a brilliant lipstick for a night out!!
Topshop Lipstick - Saint
I adore this lipstick! Not only is the scent delicious, the finish/texture of it is so creamy. This is a perfect day to day lip colour - it's very nude/ with a slight hint of pink. It is super hydrating and leaves your lips looking healthy and natural. I have been liking to wear this to work for a simple look, but I think this lipstick is so versatile it also could look great on special occasions with a smoky eye.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Tokyo
This is such a girly lip colour that I have been loving to wear in the day time recently. The texture of this product is so creamy and really not drying at all. And the smell....OMG - delicious!! But this is really a proper nude pink, and it borders on the line of being too nude but if you blend it in well enough it really does compliment the shape of your lips. I have had a lot of compliments wearing this recently and it seems to go with any makeup look too!
Rimmel Apocolips Lip Lacquer - Celestial
Everyone knows about the apocolips lip laquers and everyone has a favourite. Mine just happens to be this one. Although I'm not that keen on the scent - it's like a mixture of plastic and watermelon! I love the finish this product gives. It gives the intensity of a lipstick, and the glossiness of a lip gloss. As you can see the pigmentation of this is amazing and it lasts such a long time. The colour is a dark pink/purple, and is perfect for nights out and special occasions!
ELF Mineral Lip Gloss - Pageant Princess
This is by far my favourite lip gloss out of my whole collection!! I literally love this gloss so much and it such a beautiful flattering colour. It looks perfect on it's own and over the top of a nude lipstick. I have been loving this for day to day wear and it is my go to gloss. It's a product that I will make sure I'm stocked up on because it flatters my lips so well and really makes any bad makeup day look great!!
