I wanted to do a make-up related post so here's my CURRENT FAVOURITES! (it's basically like an updated what's in my make-up bag post really :/ )
The make-up purse is from TK MAXX and I think it's Betsey Johnson. It came with a bag and I really like it! Ok so i'll go into more detail on each thing :)
I got this from TESCO last summer because I wanted a tinted moisturiser. I was really tempted to buy the nivea one but I caught sight of this on the side. It's really nice and cooling, and gives a fresh glow to the skin. Not amazing staying power or coverage but I put a powder over it so I don't mind so much. It was also the least expensive there at around £3 or £4 (I can't remember :S = fail)
MAX FACTOR Facefinity Compact Foundation
I really, really like this. I'm not sure why, it doesn't give amazing coverage or staying power but it's fantastic for a quick fix. It matches my skintone perfectly and I just really like it! Would i repurchase? Probably not. i want a powder that will last all day; any recommendations? BTW mine's in the colour 03 Natural.
MAC Studio Finish Concealer
Words cannot describe how much I love this concealer. I bought this last march. I'VE HAD IT FOR A YEAR. Granted I don't use it everyday but still! It's made a long way and there's still loads left. It was only £11 so well worth the money I think. It covers everything up and it's just fab. At first I found it a bit too thick to apply but when I took it to india it melted a bit and now it's stayed creamy and lovely. Definately my favourite concealer and I'd definately repurchase. (My shade is NW 30)
MAX FACTOR false lash effect & L'OREAL telescopic mascaras
I have reviews on both these mascaras. Click here for MAX FACTOR and unfortunately I haven't posted the L'oreal one here but if you guys want one then ask. I love both of these mascaras and they work extremely well together!
Barry M Eye Kohl pencil
I know I know it looks disgustingly scruffy. I took the good angle, the rest of the pencil is scratched and god knows what. I love this eye-pencil hence the obviously worn-out state. I always come back to it and it's just really soft, dark and long lasting. Not completely smudge-proof but I don't mind, I quite like the smudgyness!
MAYBELLINE Mineral Power Natural Bronzing Veil
I only got this yesterday but I'm already in love. It came with a brush but I prefer using an angled brush, and using the kabuki for blush. It's a gorgeous colour on my skin and it has just the right amount of shimmer. I have to be quite careful to not put too much and look dirty but it gives a beautiful depth to the face and I love love love this! Definately recommend it. Mine's in the colour SUNSET BRONZE.
Natural Collection blush in ROSEY GLOW.
I really do love this blush. Unfortunately it's not very long lasting but the colour is perfect. It's a dusky pink and looks fab on tanned skin so I love it. I use the Maybelline kabuki for this and it sweeps a good amount on. LOVE IT.
Bourjois Smokey Eyes Trio in 03 MORDORE CHIC
I don't use this as much as I used to because I don't have that much time in the morning anymore but it used to be my staple. I literally sweeped this on, eyeliner, mascara, blusher and run. The colours are gorgeous and I use the applicator for it because that's what it works best with since it's baked. The colours are great for everyday and they even provide instructions on how to get a smokey eye with it on the back!
So there we go that's my CURRENT favourites. Love them all! If you have any questions then please feel free to ask them! BTW I'm selling an iphone case so check that out. Click here to go see!
Have a great week guys! :)
