Hello my lovely readers,
Sorry I have been gone for awhile, I have been buried under a pile of university assessments and exams which have been keeping me pretty flat out lately, but I have finally found a time to be able to write a little blog post for you guys. This post is going to be on my ten most favourite products at the moment, with a mini review on each product as well. So lets jump straight into it hey:) In no particular order:
Clean& Clear advantage fast clearing spot removing gel: This gel has been a lifesaver over the past few weeks, Ive been really stressed out and having a few little spots pop up, and this gel has been amazing in minimising the redness and overall appearance of the spot, while also helping them to clear quicker. This was very inexpensive and it a great size to carry around in my everyday makeup bag. This is available for about $8.99 from Priceline.
Physicians Formula Trio in "baked sands": This trio of eyeshadows have been my most used eyeshadows the last few weeks, basically since i bought them. They are beautifully pigmented and they are also wet to dry eyeshadows, so if you add a little water on your brush it makes them so smooth and lovely to wear and they are just such wearable neutral shades that are amazing for everyday use. These eyeshadows were about $8 in a Priceline sale a few weeks back.
Maybelline Falsies Mascara: I bought this mascara on a whim when Maybelline at Priceline was having a sale on their mascaras, so i pick this up for about $10. I got this mascara in waterproof as i prefer waterproof formulas as they last longer on my eyes. This mascara makes my lashes look long and voluminous, and is my go to mascara at the moment. It is available at Priceline for about $14 normally.
Witchhazel: I have been using witchazel for about a year now and absolutely love it as my everyday toner, the smell is the only downside to this product but it dulls down after a while and doesnt linger on the skin. This toner visibly improves my skins redness and overall appearance and this bottle lasts absolutely ages. This is also available at Priceline for about $11.
Alchemy 24 hour intense moisture leave in conditioner: This product has actually only recently come into my life but i absolutely adore it, it is FULL of natural and beneficial ingredients for your hair and you only need a tiny piece for you hair to feel nourished and moisturised. I have naturally wavy/curly hair that is quite thick and a little dry and this is an absolute god send, it is a little pricey at $20ish but i think it is totally worth the money as it is mostly natural, very beneficial for you hair and a little goes a very long way. It is available at most health vitamin stores and Priceline.
Clean & Clear essentials moisturiser SPF 15: I absolutely LOVE this moisturiser, it has become my go to moisturiser since buying it, i wear it every day before i put on my BB cream or foundation and everyday before i go to bed, it has a SPF to help aid in sun protection and has a lovely floral smell to it. This moisturiser also has salicylic acid in it which has been helping with my breakouts. This moisturiser is available for $8.99 from Priceline.
Michael Mercier Detangling Brush for thick hair: I bought this brush on a whim, hoping it would do what it says, make my hair detangle without damaging or pulling it, and this brush does just that, it is AMAZING, they have two other colours for thin and medium thickness hair, but the thick hair one detangles and brushes my hair without pulling it or damaging my hair and i have really seen a difference in the quality of my hair since buying this. This brush is also available at most pricelines for about $18, which although is quite pricey, i couldn't live without it now.
Revlon 24 hour whipped foundation (150 Buff): This foundation has been my go to foundation on the days I've been wearing a full face makeup rather then just BB cream and powder. The texture of this foundation is creamy and smooth and is quite moisturising on my skin with a semi matte finish. The colour matches me perfectly and it looks really lovely and natural (if your after more information i have done a review of this product on my blog). The foundation is available from Priceline for about $37, but i always look for a sale (Myer has it online for $24 at the moment!)
Essence stay all day cream eyeshadow: This eyeshadow is in the shade "And the glammy goes to" which is a shimmery neutral shade which is gorgeous as my everyday all over the eyelid shade, i often wear it on its own or in combination with the previously mentioned physicians formula trio. This eyeshadow is available from Target or Priceline for $5.50.
Meow Cosmetics mineral foundation: These foundations are my go to mineral foundations, they come in SO many colours and are incredibly affordable with worldwide shipping, I have this foundation in about 3 shades and in the two sizes available. I will do a full review on these foundations in another blog post but for now i will just say they are amazing with a very natural coverage and are available from www.meowcosmetics.com
Alright guys hope you like this post, let me know if you love any of these products also.
I will post again soon lovelies and hopefully more regularly now my assessments are coming to an end.
Have a great day guys and talk to you next time

First up is my BB cream, now this changes depending on what BB cream im using at the time and at the moment i am swapping between the skin 79 super BB cream or this Lioele Beyond the solution BB cream, which gives me a good base for my foundation and a little extra coverage.
For my cheeks i like to contour a little with either my sleek contouring kit or my think lizzy 6 in 1 makeup in dark, both colours are lovely neutral matte browns, that do not make my pale skin look orange or dirty and just leaves a natural looking cheek lift.
