Beauty Essentials- Current Favourites

Hey ladies!

Today I thought Id write about my everyday beauty favourites- threres some familiar products in there and perhaps some you may not have tried.

Stila Brow Kit In Dark- I bought this product a long time ago and I use it faithfully everyday to line my brows. I find even when I'm due a wax and the brows are looking a little worse for wear a quick once over will keep them defined.

MUA Matt Eyeshadow- 17- When applying eyeshadow I like to put a nude near the top of my lip to set the shadow. This baby is a comparable to Urban Decay's "naked" in the naked palette. My palette's had a beasting so I use this instead...its also brilliant value for money!

Benefit High Beam- I bought this little sample in a blogsale and I have a feeling it will be a long time until I will need a full size! I use this on my cheek bones and really like the luminosity it creates. This is a product I really wanted when I first started blogging as there were reviews everywhere!

MAC Blush In Well Dressed- I feel like I'm a broken record with this blush- its my everyday go to.  For more raves have a look at My Favourite Blushes post

Collection 2000 Ultimate Wear concealer in light (2)- This is also a big beauty blogger favourite not only because of the price but it does an excellent job. It promises 16h of wear which is quite a claim for a drugstore produc. I owned this in my teens and loved it. I'm very glad to have it in my make-up drawer again.

Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara- Show me a girl that doesn't mind a bit of chanel in the handbag. I got this in a tester form when I purchased my mat lumiere foundation and vowed Id purchase this in full size, so when I saw it come up in a blogsale I had to give in to my lust! I this is a fabulous mascara- I'm also a sucked for the Chanel packaging.

Products I'm Loving This Month

So we are nearing the end of summer...sighhh! & This calls for a good examination of what Ive been digging out of the make-up bag more than usual. They are as follows:

Elf Products:

Elf Complete coverage concealer: This baby is brilliant! You know when you've been away or out in the sun and your skin colour darkens? Well this consists of four different shades which allow you to get an exact skin match my mixing or shifting up/down a shade. Very happy with this investment!

Elf Shimmering Whip: I haven't owned this product too long but it gives me a brilliant glow to my cheeks and also works really nicely on my lips. I see big things for this one when attempting the "pinched look" over Autumn/Winter.

Elf Eyelid primer: This is a staple for me. I use it everyday and sometimes with it naked on my eyelids. The colour helps my eyelids pop and works as great eyeshadow base.

Bourjois Chocolate bronzer: This gets a lot of hype over other blogs/Youtube vids. All I'm gonna say it smells amazing and is a great shade for contouring!

Stila Eyebrow Kit: I love this! I use it to shade my eyebrows as dramatic/soft as I want. It really gives me the POP I want and I cant recommend it enough!

Sleek Eyeliner Gel Pot: Ive always been a eyeliner-pen kinda gal. But on purchasing this I have been able to create much more precise dramatic make-up & Im loving it!

Maybelline One By One Volume Express Mascara: The wand is ideal for separating your eyelashes and fanning them out. I'm not a hugely mascara-bothered person but it does the trick!

On a good note I'm off to purchase the Chanel Pro Lumiere over the weekend and possibly a little MAC trip...we shall see!

On a bad one my poor tonsils have seen better days and I'm off to the doctors tomorrow!

Are there any products your particularly loving this month?

Get in touch!
