It was definitely time for me to go back to blogging basics
and throwback with a favourites post. We are already 6 months into the year
which is ridonkulous but I thought I would go through my beauty favourites of
the past 6 months. I will try and keep this as text little (is that even right)
as possible so I don’t bore you. I will explain myself for each product in 5
words J
Cocoa butter: light, moisturising, leaves skin feeling
smooth
Nspa instant blur primer: oil based, slightly dry but an
amazing primer
Garnier under eye roll on: refreshes eye particularly in the
morning, reduces puffiness, I look more awake
E45 cream: helped out with problem areas, very thick and greasy
all over but works well applied to problem areas under primer
Palmer’s night renewal cream: thicker consistency but great
as an overnight treatment for the skin
L’Oreal skin perfection: blogger craze, removed makeup
really well, stung a little if I got into my eye but did a great job
Simple toner: gentle, smooth, removed oils and dirt
Kleenex shine absorbing sheet: practical, removes oils but
doesn’t disturb makeup
Colossal volume mascara: great for a more natural look, adds
great volume and decent length
Maybelline gel liner: easy to use, post about it here:
Benefit they’re real: great length and gives amazing lashes
but a tough little bugger to get off
Mua eyeshadow, copper colour, long lasting, separates a
little but think primer
Miss sporty brown eyeliner: great for a natural look, would
be good for summer
Eyeko eyelash curler: gives a great curl, I LOVE IT!
Angled eyeliner brush: has made my life 10x easier, post
here:
Model and co black eyeliner: works well, doesn’t last all
day but does the job, cult classic
Victoria’s secret mango temptation: sweet but not sickly,
lasts all day, a little on the pricy side but a must have
Parade perfume: sweet but not sickly, scent lingers and nice
in the morning
Argan oil heat defence spray: reduced amount of split ends,
kind to hair
Argan oil hair treatment: leaves hair shiny, soft, smooth,
silky, nourishing, repairs hair
Vo5 ultimate hold hairspray: lasts all day, holds a curl,
weather resistant
Acetone free remover: gentle on nails, not potent smell, healthier
nails
Coco butter hand cream: thicker consistency but does the job
Inecto coconut hand and nail cream: nourishing does the
jobs, smells great and I MUST GET MORE
Barry M in Mushroom: great for colder months and really
natural looking
Miss sporty gold glitter: nice decal/ring finger design but
annoying to take off
Company coral polish: really nice colour (must find a
similar one) but chips easily and doesn’t last long but I love the colour
NYC Spring Street: gorgeous bold colour last just over a
week with only tiny chips, vibrant too
Carex hand gel: east to use pump, smells nice and I have
clean hands
