LMSU : MY HOLY GRAIL #BEAUTY
#HOLYGRAIL
VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE - COCOA RADIANT
I use this all over my body but especially on my face every morning. I'm lucky to have mostly clear skin so I am not too sure how this would work on sensitive skin types but it's worth a try. Everyday before I apply my foundation I use this, smoothing it onto my skin along with my favorite lip balm and I wait 2-3 mins and then begin my make up routine. My foundation sits perfectly on top of it and leaves the perfect amount of moisture on my skin all day. I love this smell of this moisturizer as well. You can find it in Boots or your local pharmacy for under 5€
MAC - PRO LONGWEAR NC25
I always get asked what foundation I use and this is it. Over the years I have wasted so much money and time trying out every new foundation (especially drugstore ones) trying to find the best coverage, shade etc. I have finally found my soulmate. I have a yellow skin tone, and I like to use self tanner. This is the only true yellow undertoned foundation I have ever found. I used to use the shade 'buff' by REVLON in their colourstay foundation but compared to MAC NC25 it even looks pink toned. This foundation gives a really good coverage and is easy to build. I would use this day and night. In the past I have used every MAC foundation but this is by far the winner. If one day your skin is dry, use a little more moisturiser before application and it's perfect, if the next day your skin is a little oiler, either skip or use minimal moisturiser and this foundation will sit perfect! It's the one for me.
MAC BLUSHES - MELBA & HARMONY
These two beauties are everything! I use HARMONY as a contour and MELBA on top as a blush. Recently I have been enjoying to use a pink to help blend out a brown smokey eye in my crease and MELBA works perfectly. It's great for me as I have blue eyes and this blush has a few orange tones in it. So when it's used as a eye shadow it can really make your blue eyes POP. On a lazy day I will use these two products on both my cheeks and eyes.
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS - DIPBROW POMADE - DARK BROWN
HALLELUJAH! This heaven sent product has changed my brow game for better and for always. I purchased off cult beauty along with the matching brush/spoolie combo. The results from this product are insane and last all day and night.
MAYBELINE MASCARA - LASH SENSATIONAL
I first heard about this mascara from one of thepersianbabe's YouTube videos. It's the best mascara I've found, for giving volume and lift. It's really easy to build and the best part.. It doesn't clump! I really like to do the doll eyed look especially with my lower lashes and this just works.
TRESEMÉ - HEAT PROTECTION SPRAY
I've used this FOR YEARS and it's a product that I can notice significantly when I have forgotten to use it that day. This lightweight spray adds moisture and shine into your hair, leaving NO residue. After using this and curling or straightening my hair, my hair feels glossy, smooth and sleek all day. This scent is lovely too.
SALLY HANSEN - INSTADRI TOPCOAT
Ever since I started using this a year ago people always ask me what nail polish I'm using, is it gel, is it shellac, did I do them myself? This topcoat leaves a brilliant shine and glossy effect over even the crap'iest nail polish and speeds up the drying time significantly. It's worth a try and I swear by it.
