I completely forgot to upload a ‘September favourites’ blog post, so I am combining the last 2 months in to one blog.
My makeup has been pretty basic over the past couple of months; being a mum to a 2 year old toddler who is on the go from the minute she wakes up til the minute she goes to sleep, doesn’t really leave me a lot of time to ‘put my face on’. If I manage to do my brows and slap on some mascara then we are having a good day!
Anyway, I am rambling. Here are my favourite products I have been using over the last 2 months:
The Technic Lashitude mascara is something that I have mentioned in previous blogs. I love this mascara so much. It separates my Lashes perfectly, applies evenly, doesn’t clump and doesn’t transfer on to my face after a few hours. This mascara is bloody brilliant!
Benefits Ready Set Brow! Brow gel. I have the clear brow gel, I have coloured brow gels in my collection but I actually prefer the way this brow gel makes my eyebrows look. My brow routine has been the same for months, I use a cheap brow palette (mentioned in previous blogs) to fill in my brows, and then I use this brow gel in top. I love this brow gel!
MUA Skin Define Matte Perfect foundation. I love that makeup products’ names are just getting longer and longer 😂. I have got the shade ‘natural beige’, I would say it is darker than I expected it to be, but it matches my skin perfectly when I have fake tanned. It blends out easily, I would say it is a medium coverage, but buildable if you want more coverage. This foundation and my current favourite setting spray are a match made in heaven.
The w7 ‘The Fixer’ Face Spray is a lovely little setting spray. I would say that I was slightly disappointed at how small the bottle is compared to other setting sprays I own, but apart from that it’s great. It sets my makeup perfectly and makes it stay in place ALL DAY (or until the evening when I have put my PJ’s on and want to take all my makeup off). 10/10 for this product!
Makeup Revolution Rose Gold lipstick in the shade ‘Chauffeur’ is my go-to nude lipstick. I cannot describe just how amazing this lipstick is. It’s the perfect shade for me, it’s creamy and applies so easily. I always struggle with dry lips and lip products not lasting (even if I buy a product that says ’12 hour wear’ or whatever, the product seems to move and disappear from my lips as the day goes on. So I never expect a lip product to last a long time on me. But this lipstick really does! Again, 10/10 for this product!
I know a lot of people shy away from unbranded makeup because they don’t know where it is made, what is in the product(s) etc. I saw this 15 colour eyeshadow palette on Amazon for an absolute STEAL of a price and I just had to give it a go. I was mostly intrigued by the red toned shadow in the centre of the palette. I have used this palette so much over the past 2 months, it is crazy! And it looks like I’ve hardly touched it!
This palette is absolutely perfect for Autumn & winter. Here is a look I created with this palette. The wing was done with the black shadow from the palette!
