These products are all used daily or at least a few times a week and I definately recommend them. Some are recent purchases and some I have been using for some time.
My first favourite is the Real Techniques Buffing Brush, which I use to apply my foundation (another favourite, we'll get to that) and it gives such a flawless finish with very little effort. The bristles are soft and relatively dense, they do not splay easily when pressed. Since buying this brush, I have not used anything else to apply my foundation.
My current favourite foundation is the M.A.C Studio Sculpt foundation in NW20, matched with the buffing brush it provides the perfect amount of coverage for my skin without being drying, which I usually find a problem with full coverage foundations. I talk about this foundation a little more in my mini mac haul post.
This is a body spray from Boots Natural Collection in the fragrance Pasionfruit. I have had this for a few months now and I originally purchased it to take on holiday, I have used it every day since. It is so fresh and fruity and it makes me feel summery, which is always a bonus as here in the UK we don't get much of a summer, it's raining as I write this. It's about half gone so it's lasting pretty well and the fragrance lasts on my clothes for the majority of the day.
My current favourite hair product is from the brand Aussie, of which I have a few products, all of which I enjoy, especially their conditioners. This is a very recent purchase and has only been used a few times but I am already impressed. The product is their Volume and Conditioning Mousse, and it's strange that I like this product as I am not usually a mousse person, but I wanted to give it a try. It is conditioning, as claimed, which is a bonus for me as my hair is pretty dry and damaged, so any extra moisture is a plus. As for volumizing, it does a pretty good job, my hair doesn't appear as flat as usual and it just adds a little oomph, which is exactly what I wanted from this mousse.
This is the Collection (2000) Multiplier Mascara, the packaging started off black and gold but quickly rubbed off to become a plain black tube. This mascara was very inexpensive, approximately £2.99, and was purchased as a quick cheap mascara on a day where for some reason, I had forgotten to use one. At first use I was unimpressed, and this was put to one side and not used for some time. I think my initial reason for not liking this is that it isn't amazingly volumizing like my other favourite mascaras, however I am now in love with it. It is super lengthening and is in no way clumpy. It has a plastic brush, which I have never really been a fan of, but this is definately the exception. I use this mascara every single day, and sometimes will top it off with a volumizing mascara for a night out, but more often than not I am perfectly happy wearing it alone.
This is another product I have talked about before, my M.A.C powder blush in Well Dressed, and I have also worn this every single day since I bought it. It's such a natural pretty girly pink, which can be built up for more colour if desired. This blush makes me feel so feminine and pretty, and I will definately repurchase.
Angels on Bare Skin is a facial cleanser from Lush Cosmetics, and I was originally very sceptical about purchasing, as it seemed difficult to use. It has the texture of bluetac but without the stickiness, and has to be mixed with water and applied to the face. It contains ingrediants such as ground almonds, lavender oil and rose absolute, and although i'm not a huge fan of the scent, it has done wonders for my skin. I have pretty dry skin, but am also prone to breakouts and can get oily in some areas, this product evens the skin, so I am neither dry or oily and I do feel like my skin glows after use. I will definately repurchase this when i run out.
My current favourite nail polish is 304 Mint Green by Barry M, a colour which I have had for a while, but have only recently become obsessed with. It is such a beautiful creamy pale green and is super long lasting, I wore it for a week before it began to chip, and that was only from using lots of bleach whilst cleaning and packing. I have been wearing this every day this month, and it looks so pretty, that I can't imagine wearing another colour :)
This nail polish remover is my absolute favourite of all the ones I have tried, and I have tried a lot. It is the Sally Hansen Moisturising Polish Remover for dry and brittle nails, and since using it, my nails have not peeled at all, a problem which I found with many other nail polish removers. It keeps my nails in good condition and makes nail polish apply much more smoothly.
My final favourite of the moment is another Barry M product, one of their Dazzle Dusts, number 27 Gold Iridescent. Another product I have had for a while, I only used to use as an inner corner highlight, but recently decided to try it lightly all over the eye, and I loved it. It's so pretty and shimmery without being over the top, I even wore it to work, it's quick and easy, and with a light matte brown in the crease makes for a simple neutral eye with a bit of something special. Next time I have a night out I will try it all over a black base and if I like it, I will post pictures :)
Thanks for reading
