Must Have Essentials!

Where do I even begin? There are so many products that I just can’t live without…beauty products surround me wherever I go! These however are my must have essentials…

 

Baby Lips Lip Balm

These colourful beauties are my babies! I take them everywhere I go and have them in almost every colour. They brighten up my day and moisturise my lips so much – I really don’t know where I would be without them…

Lipsticks

Lipsticks: 1 – Coquette by Chanel, 2 – Please Me by MAC, 3 – Angel by MAC, 4 – Faux by MAC, 5 – Flavour by MAC, 6 – Peachstock by MAC and 7 – Romy by L’Oréal Paris

A girl has got to have a little glamour in her life and when it comes to beauty, MAC lipsticks are my favourite, simply because they have a huge range of colours and so many textures to choose from that you have to splurge often if you want to complete your collection – I’m nowhere near! MAC however is not the only brand that I purchase from as I love to buy lip products from L’Oréal, Rimmel, Revlon, Chanel and Maybelline too. The lipstick stain Romy by L’Oréal Paris is brilliant, the brush is soft and the product itself is rich in colour and adds a good amount of shine, especially for a day look.

‘They’re Real!’ Mascara

This coats your lashes with just the right amount of mascara to make your eyes pop without flaking and making them look too spidery. If you absolutely love your lashes looking full and voluminous, this mascara is for you, particularly when you want to finish off that look you spent ages trying to perfect.

Boi-ing Concealer

This industrial strength concealer is my secret to concealing those horrible blemishes that appear out of nowhere! I use this every time I apply my make-up probably because, for some odd reason, even if I have had a good night’s sleep, there is always those dark circles under my eyes that do not go AWAY!!

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes

These are my go-to eye shadows, especially for autumn and winter! A quick swipe of these colours makes your eyes go from blaaa to yaaa!! The earthy tones give some depth to the overall look of your eyes and the added shimmer gives you that extra pazazz – I can’t believe I just used that word!

No7 Natural Blush Cheek Colour and Highlighters Palette + No7 Stay Perfect Shadow Palette

You can see that I have used these two palettes A LOT! They form the basis of my daily make-up routine and without them I would be truly lost. The two cheek blushes can be mixed together to add a nice, warm colour to your face and the highlighters are perfect for…well…highlighting your face and making you look that extra bit glowy. The eye shadow palette on the other hand is very flexible as there are various colours that can give your eyes a more natural look whilst adding extra shimmer.

Bioré Facial Wash

This skin-clearing facial wash has been my absolute favourite out of all the skin care products that I have tried. I may still get those inevitable blemishes that sometimes appear but all the excess oil I have is removed and my skin is always left feeling fresh and matte, which is a definite must for me at all times!

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Moisturiser

One thing I hate after washing my face is using face creams that contain oil. I often avoid them because I’m constantly worrying that blemishes are going to start appearing on my face. This oil free moisturiser is just what I need and the fresh, fruity fragrance makes my skin feel cool and clean.

Victoria’s Secret ‘Night’ Fragrance Mist

Ahhhhh, I love this smell!! I really can’t describe it but I‘ll try anyway (*takes a deep breath*), okay so this fragrance is completely and utterly amazing!!! Victoria’s Secret never fails to disappoint, this mist is perfect for a night out plus the exotic florals and sultry notes help to give it a sense of mystery.

Dior Backstage Beauty Blender

This beauty blender is soft and will help to blend in your make-up perfectly. You can choose to use it dry or damp but personally, for the best results, I tend to use it dry and rinse it out afterwards to stop it getting clogged up with the products that I’ve used.

Eyebrow Brush (sorry about the broken off pieces, I use this quite a lot!)

Whenever my eyebrows are messy and all over the place, this eyebrow brush helps to smooth them out and makes them look all neat and tidy – what more could I ask for?!
