P.S. Sorry in advance about the red dot on the tip of my finger. I may or may not have been painting my toes red this avo…;)
1. night cream
This Lancôme night cream is quite exy at $85, but I can promise you, it's totally worth it. It balances out your skin whether it's oily or dry, and it is super moisturising. One thing I hate about creams is when they are greasy and aren't take forever to be absorbed by your skin, but this cream sinks in straight away. Ever since I've started using it, it has made my skin 110% better. Highly recommend it.
2. lip balm
I bought this when I was on a shopping spree with one of my friends, and usually I don't buy much because I don't want to spend too much, but she told me to splurge just this once. I wasn't sure about buying this since it was $9.95 (how good can a lip balm be?) but it smelt so amazing and it was a splurge day for me, so I got it. And I haven't regretted it one bit because it has been my most favourite lip balm in the world. I put it on every night, and I'm not afraid to say that now, I have lovely luscious lips thanks to this.
3. face cream
I've never really put much on my face other than mineral powder, but I found this and I thought I'd give it a try. It has SPF 15+, and has a matte finish, so your face doesn't look oily during the day. Most people have an oily T-zone (like me), so I thought it was a good idea. And the few times I've used it, its been really good. It needs about 5 mins to dry, but I just do my hair while I wait :)
4. mineral powder
If you're anything like me, makeup is fine unless it's not slathered all over your face, which is where I draw the line. Whenever I wear foundation, my face feels coated, so I like to stick with mineral powder and let it work it's magic. It's light and natural but still covers imperfections you may have in your skin.
5. concealer
I love watching beauty channels on youtube (some of my favourites being Zoella, Sprinkle of Glitter and Tanya Burr) and this has been recommended. I've wanted to buy a concealer for a while, so when I saw this was on special, I bought it. I haven't tried it out but I'm looking forward to doing so :)
6. eyeshadow
I where natural eyeshadows like 99% of the time, and these are my favourites. The top one I have had for ages (obviously this is a new one because you wouldn't have wanted to see a photo of my other one if you know what I mean) It just looks really lovely on. The second one is a newer purchase, and is a lot more shimmery which I'm still getting used to, but it looks just as nice on:)
7. an eyelash curler
Never underestimate one of these babys. You don't notice the difference until you've been using it for a while and then stop. I haven't used it for ages, but pulled it out the other day when I was doing my makeup, and it made me decide not to put on mascara. Now let me tell you, that is a big thing for me. If I could only wear one makeup produce for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. I feel like I have no eyes without it. But eyelash curlers make your eyelashes stand out more on their own, and I like feeling nice without mascara on :)
8. mascara
I'm not one to fall for advertisements, but they made Maybelline's One by One mascara look so irresistible, so I bought it. And it's been great. It's non-clumping, and can look natural or as dramatic as desired.
9. lipsticks
I've never really been a lipstick girl because I like the natural look, but I decided to be bold and start a collection (Don't worry, I don't consider four lipsticks as a collection. I do have some others;)) These four are my sports girl lipsticks which are really nice and are only $10. I've got a bit of everything: Orange for my really bold days (it was a spur of the moment decision because it looked good with my navy blue and white dress, but I have loved this colour so much!) A pale nude pink, a coral pink and a hot pink. And this is just the start...
10. lipgloss
Of course, another Body Shop product. These lip glosses are so nice because they moisturise, smell great, and slightly colour your lips.
11. brushes
I have no clue where to start with brushes, so I just use these two which do the trick. My nude one is super soft and is great for blush too, and my eyeshadow brush makes everything go on so nicely.
12. body butter
I have been buying body butters from The Body Shop for as long as I can remember. I've been through heaps of scents, but at the moment, the Shea body butter is my favourite. This keeps your skin super moisturised and leaves you smelling like…well what ever it smells like;)
13. lush bath bombs
I cannot begin to describe my appreciation for whoever invented baths. And then I discovered bath bombs. Didn't think baths could get any better, but they did. I had heard about lush, but never actually looked at the shop. And when I did, my eyes were opened to what I had been missing out on. One of my goals this year is to try out every bath bomb. Rose Queen is my favourite so far.
14. candles
And what better to go along with baths, or anything, is candles. Glasshouse candles are so nice and last for quite a while. My favourite ones are these two, Rio De Janeiro (Passion Fruit & Lime) and Amalfi Coast (Sea Mist), and Coney Island (Burnt Sugar and Fig) which will be going on my birthday list ;)
Hope my beauty favourites help you all to stay beautyful. (I'm sorry. I had too.)
