Two posts in one day? Crazy.
“Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who is the fairest of them all?”
In my eyes everyone should be the fairest of them all and feel like a million dollars! This is why I want to share my best beauty buys that always make me feel amazing!
Starting with moisturiser! I recently purchased this moisturiser through the recommendation of a friend. It’s the Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Normal/Oily Skin by No7 at Boots. It’s a really lightweight solution which settles really nicely on your skin leaving it feeling smooth and refreshed! It’s also hypoallergenic so it’s perfect for different skin types and people who suffer with allergies or have sensitive skin!

Next moving onto a primer! Now up until the last year or so I really didn’t think that primer did anything. I could not have been more wrong. Not only does primer smooth your skin surface, it reduces the look of pores, creates a really even base for your foundation and really helps your make up stay in place all day! This is my favourite by Smashbox Cosmetics.

Now for foundation.. I’ve always found it really hard to find a foundation that is right for my skin but I’ve finally found it. Perfection Lumiere light perfecting liquid foundation by Chanel. Admittedly it’s on the higher end of the price scale, but it’s completely worth it and it lasts ten times longer than normal foundations as the coverage is so good! This foundation gives a slightly sheer finish to your make up which really gives it a natural, radiant look!

I love eyeshadow. It’s something that I’m forever playing around and creating new looks with. My eyes were recently opened to the world of the Full Exposure Palette, another product from Smashbox. The colours vary from browns to greys and blacks, with matte colours as well as shimmer/glitter effect shadows so it really works for day and night! It also comes with a really helpful guide to how to use the palette to suit your individual eye shape and a brush is also included in the set!

Admittedly I have never really been a fan of Benefit Cosmetics up until I had my make up dome by one of the wonderful girls on the Benefit counter in Boots, Broadmead, Bristol. The final look was gorgeous, and needless to say I was completely turned! My favourite product that day was the They’re Real Mascara. It really lifted my lashes creating a fuller, lengthened and separated look to my lashes! Also it stayed on all night without running or crumbling (my two biggest pet hates with mascara)!

So there’s my favourite beauty buys that always make me feel 110%! But remember, there is no better make up than a smile!
Lots of love, and a happy Monday!
