Top Beauty Staples #1







           

I know, I know, I said I was going to blog more, and it's been about a month! This last month has flown by, I've just not had a lot of spare time, but i'm trying to manage my time better so hopefully more blog posts will be coming your way!

Anyway.. we seem to have strayed away from the topic of choice today, which is my top beauty products at the moment. There's quite a few, so this might be a bit of a long post, but because I haven't posted in a while it's not that bad (I hope).

The first product, is the Christian Dior Star Foundation - it's described as a brightening, weightless foundation, and that's just what it is!! I love this product, is so wearable, its a light to medium coverage, which is really buildable if you want something more full for evening wear. The colour selection is really good aswell, I believe there is 19 shades to choose from, it was a little pricey, it was £32.50 but I really think it is worth it. 

Secondly, the Wow skin Primer, By Seventeen - Now this is a 3 in 1 product, and I enjoy products which can be used in many different ways. It can be used as a highlighter, an illuminator with foundation and a primer. It's a really pigmented product and a little certainly goes along way, it has the most gorgeous pearly pink shade which just looks so lovely on the skin. I think this is now my third bottle and I would re-perchase it over and over again, and for £5.99 you can't really go wrong.

The Mary-Lou Manzier By The Balm - Now I don't know where to start with this product, it is my Holy Grail, it's my everything (a little extreme I know), no but seriously, I don't think I could be without this now. I use it as a highlighter and an eyeshadow. It leaves the most beautiful gold shimmer anywhere you place it on your face. I honestly think it's the best highlighter i've ever used and I don't know if there is something that will ever replace it. Its £17.50 but I really do think it's worth every penny.

I'm really into eye makeup at the moment, and trying out all different eye primers and eyeshadows, this was when I came across my next product, The Maybelline Color Tattoo - This stuff is just to die for, I think I have about 5 different colours and I want them all. It's great to create part of a dramatic eye look, or just on it's own over the lid, I think they retail for around the £5 mark, which is super cheap.

I majorly love bold lip colours, I've lost count how many different shades of red I have, but my absolute favourite is the Rimmel 107 Lipstick By Kate Moss - This is prefect for this time of year, it just adds so much to a make up look, and it's lasting power is pretty good too. It's £5.50 which I think for a lipstick is so affordable, I rarely re-perchace lipsticks because there is always so many I want to try, But this has been in my make up bag since I can ever remember and as soon as I run out I buy another straight away.

The Benefit Brow Zings - Now for an eye brow product this is a little pricey, It's £24.50..But it's so worth it. They seem to last forever, i've had mine for ages now, to the part where i'm thinking of chucking it and re-perchasing another one. I simply love it, it just gives your brows something extra. Defiantly worth a purchase. 

The Seventeen Nail Polishes - Now I have really short nails, I can never let them grow, But I love long nails, so I use glue on nails, perfect! The Seventeen nail polishes are so cheap and they last on the nails, I especially love the quick dry ones, but the Gel ones are also pretty difficult to beat!

Much to my hate, make up can't be worn forever, we eventually get to the end of the way where we have to take it off, and I have found two products which are really quick and easy to use and take off every single bit of make up. The first is the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - I simply love this and don't know if I will ever use anything else to take my face off with. The second product is the L'Oreal Gentle Eye Make Up Remover - this stuff takes away the majority of my eye make up in one swipe and i always wear liquid liner, heaps of mascara and plenty of eye shadow, Both these products are so in expensive but do the nest job at taking off make up. I'm not one that wants to spend ages taking my make up off, I like it to be a quick process.

Have you tried any of these products? Or have any of your own which you swear by? Let me know in the comments!
