// Bobbi Brown corrector in 'Porcelain Peach' //
A recent purchase - so far I'm loving it! I get the darkest circles under my eyes and sometimes concealer just doesn't do the job. I apply this with a Space NK concealer brush.
// Bourjois 'healthy mix' foundation in shade 'Light Vanilla' (51) //
Another recent purchase which I'm also enjoying. I don't personally need a really high coverage foundation, so this is perfect, and what I have been searching for for months - almost in between a BB cream and a heavy foundation. I apply this all over my face with a Real Techniques 'expert face brush'. I really recommend this brush - although it seems like a lot of money, it's well spent, as it can be used for pretty much anything on your face and leaves a very even coverage.
// Urban Decay Naked Palette //
As you can see, this palette is well loved. For my every day look, I tend to apply 'Virgin' to my tear ducts and brow bone. I then apply 'Naked' roughly over the whole lid, and put 'Sin' on top of that. I then add a tiny bit of 'Sidecar' to the corners/crease. I apply with the brush that comes with the palette, then blend with a No. 7 Blending/Contour brush. The Naked Palette is definitely one of the most versatile palettes out there, and is really useful!
// Collection 'Extreme' felt tip liner in black //
I don't get on very well with liquid eyeliners - I'm not sure if it's me or the fact that my eyelids don't cooperate! I find felt tip liners, however, really easy to apply because you have a lot more control. I used to buy a Maybelline one, and have tried several other brands such as No. 7, but they all dry out really really fast, and when you add it all up, I was wasting a lot of money! 'Collection' is pretty much the cheapest you can get, but I've found it actually lasts the longest - I'm very impressed! I usually apply a thin line to my lash line and do a small flick, sometimes I just leave it though.
// Maybelline 'the Collossal Volum' Express' Mascara //
I usually use 'the falses' but since that ran out last week, I'm trying to use this up before I go and buy another! I have naturally quite long lashes so all mascara seems to work kind of the same, which is lucky!
// Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' Concealer in 'Ivory' //
Everyone raves about the Collection 'Lasting Perfection' concealer, but I'm so pale that even the lightest shade comes out super orange on me! I think this is the next best thing - I apply this under my eyes and to any blemishes, using my Real Techniques expert face brush.
// Mac Pro Long wear blush in 'Stay Pretty' //
I don't think this blush is anything special to be honest, but I spent a reasonable amount of money on it, so force myself to use it! It is pretty though. I apply a small amount to the apples of my cheeks using a Space NK Blush Brush.
// Revlon Lip Butter in 'Berry Smoothie'//
I mentioned this product in a previous blog post, and I really really like it. It doesn't last that long but it's so much less effort that lipstick. It also feels nice on your lips, I find that lipsticks really dry my lips out, and I spend forever checking and reapplying. Definitely a good find!
Do you use any of these products? Have you got any recommendations? I'd love to try some new things!
