Hi guys, today I am going to share
with you my top 5 must have beauty products. Let me know what you think in the comments
below and what other posts you would like to see me do.
1. Rimmel
wake me up foundation (£8.99)
This is my Holy Grail
foundation I absolutely love it. First of the packaging is simple but pretty.
The bottle is made out of glass but the lid and pump are made from plastic. The
pump is very easy to work with and secures little mess or wastage.
Being so very pale
skinned I have found it very difficult to find a foundation that doesn’t make
me look like a giant wotsit. However the Rimmel wake me up ( I have in the
lightest shade) matched my skin perfectly giving it a beautiful glow.
I would say its medium
coverage which is ideal for daily use, it leaves skin feeling smooth and not to
cakey. The reason I am so impressed with this product is its staying power. I
always wear with a powder and the foundation just doesn’t budge. And for its
reasonable price this is rare. I apply this with my real techniques blending
brush.
2. MAC Mineralize Skinfinishish (£22.00)
The MAC Mineralise Skinfinish range tends to be aimed at
those wishing for a natural but effective setting
powder. I use it all over the top of my foundation to set it and help it stay
on all day! And it works wonders. Ever since I started using this have noticed
a huge improvement in the lasting power of my foundation- which ever foundation
I use that day. A positive of it having low coverage is the fact that it really
lets your foundation be seen and doesn't mask it, it doesn’t take away the glow that
my foundation and primers create. However it is very pricy for a powder, but
personally I think it’s worth the money as its amazing and I have had mine for
well over a year using it almost every day and haven’t hit pan yet. I apply it
with Real techniques powder brush which is also AMAZING!! I have mine in medium
plus.
3. MAC
Mineralize Blush ( In Warm Soul) (£20.00)
This has to be my all-time
favourite blush. Another product mac really knows how to do. I have several mac
blushes and they are all incredible: they are very pigmented, have about 393923
colours to choose from and you get allot of product and I have never hit pan on
any of them. Warm soul is my favourite shade, it is a deep pink with gold
undertones making it a beautiful colour. It has a hint of shimmer in it, which
when applied to face makes your skin glow even more. Of course this is also
very expensive but I do again think it’s worth the money. I apply with benefit blusher brush.
4. Benefit
Browzings (24.50)
I
am brow crazy! I love everything about them and I think they really are the
most important thing on your face and they really sculpt your face. Brow Zings
comes in 3 shades: Dark, Medium and Light. The Brow zings kit comes with a
pigmented wax & a shading and setting powder it also contains a miniature
angled brush ( I lost mine but I have inserted a picture I stole of google) to
use with the wax, a miniature blending brush to use with the powder and they
also come with a miniature set of tweezers . The angled brush it came with
is great to apply the product and I used this for a few months with no problem
but decided to upgrade to the mac 208, which made it slightly easier as it’s
longer but this isn’t a necessity. This product is a wax, which I am aware isn’t
everybody’s favourite but I think this product is far better than a pencil or eye
shadow. It is super easy to use and leaves a wonderful look. The wax lasts all day and leaves your bows
looking perfect. If you are struggling to get a good brow shape I recommend
going to a benefit brow bar (in most Debenhams’ and house of Frasers) and
getting a wax. Its £11 which can be quite pricey but it’s so worth it even if you
go and get it once and keep the shape yourself by plucking. They are super
friendly and create a beautiful arch in your brows.

5. Benefit They’re Real Mascara
(£19.50)
This
is the UK’s number 1 selling mascara and I understand why. It creates super
long and black eyelashes in just a few strokes. The mascara comes in a
silver tube and of course being a benefit product the packaging is beautiful. The wand and the bristles are made from a hard
plastic, and the bristles on
the end of the wand are longer and look a bit like spikey ball – this is to
help get into the corners and to ‘wing out’ your outer lashes easier. .
The formulation of this mascara is absolutely amazing. It’s not too ‘wet’ or
sticky and it applies evenly through the lashes. I think its defiantly worth
the price and using almost every day lasts me about 9 months- which I think is
pretty good.
Hope you enjoyed
