30 Days of beauty, Day 25 – Top 3 makeup products

30 Days of beauty, Day 25 – Top 3 makeup products you can’t live without

The first product I couldn’t live without would be my MAC select cover up concealer – I use this every day, it’s quite natural looking so covers my dark circles when I don’t feel like wearing a full face.

My second product I couldn’t live without would be my Beauty Uk high brow. I use this every day just to give my eyebrows a bit more shape.

My third product I couldn’t live without would be my NYC Smooch proof lip stain in 493 champagne stain. I wear this every day for work and it stays all day!

Products I’ll always repurchase

When I find a product I love, I’ll usually stick with it for a long time and repurchase again and again!

Here are a few of my favourite products I love and have repurchased again and again:

Mac fix+ travel size – I love this fixing spray, it helps set my makeup and takes away that powdery look. I always buy the travel size bottle as it fits better in my makeup draw

Mac select cover up concealer – This is a staple in my makeup kit, I wear it most days just to brighten under my eyes. It’s long lasting and not greasy.

Mac Pro longwear concealer – This is another staple when I do a full face of makeup, I only use it under my eyes as it is a little oily but it’s a long lasting concealer and really brightens!

Mac Studio fix fluid – I love this foundation, it’s my go to one for a full face. It gives me a flawless face and I don’t have to keep reapplying.

Mac prep+prime pressed powder – I love this powder! It’s another staple for me, it has no colour so purely gives you a matte finish/no coverage which is great to try and stay natural.

MUA Mosaic Bronzer in Natural glow – This is my favourite bronzer, it’s a nice natural colour but it gives you a nice glow too.

NYX ultra pearl mania – nude – I haven’t actually had to re purchase this yet as it’s lasted me years using it as a highlight. But as soon as it runs out I’ll be repurchasing! It’s the best highlight I’ve tried.

NYC smooth skin perfecting primer – This is my favourite primer, it’s a smooth texture almost like a moisturiser and gives you a nice healthy glow.

MUA pro-base fixing mist – This is similar to the mac fix+ but cheaper and it has a more even spray.

Beauty uk high brow – This is my go to product for brows, it’s lasted me ages and is no where near running out but I love it so much I know I’ll definitely repurchase when it eventually runs out!

Collection lip liner in 1 Nude pink – This is one of my favourite lip liners, it’s a nice nude colour and has a creamy consistency.

2True liquid eyeliner in black – i have been using this eyeliner for years and years and it’s the best one I’ve tried! It’s a long lasting formula and the brush is really precise.

Skin care

Clean&clear advantage spot treatment gel – I use this on any spots I get and it clears them up quickly. I love this product!

Clean&clear deep action cream wash – I love this face wash, I use it once a day and it keeps my skin clear.

Clean&clear deep cleansing lotion – I use this on a cotton pad to remove my makeup, it helps fight spots and cleans my face really well.

Fakebake flawless self tan – this is my favourite self tan and I’ve tried so many! The colours lovely and it stays true for a long time. It’s in a spray bottle so you get an event application and is great for the face. I spray then pat with a tanning mitt

Hair care

Argan oil heat defence leave in spray – I use this every time I wash my hair, even if I’m not doing my hair/just putting it up for work – it’s really cheap at 99p and keeps my hair soft and hydrated.

Superdrug dry shampoo in chocolate brownie – This is a dry shampoo that is a must for any girl with dark hair – who hates that grey/dull white look when you put dry shampoo on black hair? Well this is brown in colour so blends in with my hair, and if I want to touch my routes up without dying you can use this!

Vo5 smoothly goes it heat protect serum – I put this on my hands and run through wet hair, it makes your hair so smooth and shiny especially if you are straightening it!

So that’s all my favourite products that I like to repurchase! I would recommend them all.

30 Days of beauty, Day 14 – Winged eyeliner

30 Days of beauty, Day 14 – Winged eyeliner.

I love winged eyeliner, it’s a staple in my makeup routine.

One of my favourite products to use is the Maybelline eye studio gel liner, it comes with a little brush and is extra black – the only problem I have is applying it under my eyes it tends to smudge if my eyes water.

Another liquid eyeliner I like to use is the 2true liquid eyeliner in black, it’s a great formula and stays put all day.

30 Days of beauty, Day 10 – Least fav products

30 Days of beauty, Day 10 – Least favourite product

Honestly, I don’t buy many products that I hate as I tend to research a lot before I buy something (Especially if it’s high end)

Here are some of my least favourite products:

Bourjois bronzing primer
I don’t really have a use for this product, I don’t really find that it primes anything and doesn’t really give much colour when blended in. Definitely regret buying.

MUA undress your skin flawless skin primer
I do use this occasionally, but I find that it’s quite greasy so my makeup tends to slide off my face. It does do a good job at taking away shine/ giving skin a matte finish, but just isn’t for me.

NYX tango with bronzing stix
I have two of these bronzing sticks, cha cha with sun god & bronzy lambada
I find that these sticks are too dark to highlight with so don’t really have a use for them. IMG_9026.PNG

30 Days of beauty: Day 2 – foundations

30 Days of beauty tag, Day 2 – foundations.

My favourite foundation for going out is MAC studio fix fluid, it’s great coverage and stays on all day/night.

Another favourite is probably the maybelline fit me foundation, it’s great for day time – it gives you a glowy natural look.
