5 Things: Make-up Staples


I'm obsessed with make-up. There's nothing I don't like about it; buying it, organising it, wearing it. But lately, I've become abit lazier with applying my face and I've actually been kind of enjoying it. While I've still got a bit of a holiday glow going on I gather I can get away with wearing minimal make-up and I've been making the most of it before Autumn sets in and my foundation makes a come-back to cover the dreaded red nose and not-so-cute rosy cheeks.

I've been mainly sticking to these 5 staples lately:

Seventeen Va Va Voom Mascara - I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love Seventeen Mascaras. They always make my lashes look long & thick and never seem to budge (until cleansing time). Hurrah! Va Va Voom is a favourite that I've re-purchased at least three times.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - This is the concealer for any under-eye issues as it instantly perks up & brightens and as it's reasonably full-coverage it also hides any blemishes perfectly. 

No 7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes Eyeliner - I've been using this in the shade 'Brown' to lightly fill my eyebrows and it's working better than most prodcuts I've tried. I also double up and use this if I want a little something more on my eyes. I just glide it along my lashline and smudge a little for an easy, casual smoky eye.

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection Privée - For someone who is usually all over a bold lip I've been really loving a nude lately. This shade 'Barely Peach' is the perfect pinky peach colour that really is a my-lips-but-better colour. This looks amazing with a bit of a tan and stays put for a good few hours.

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder - I recently picked this up while there was a 3 for 2 going on...Instablur & another Camomile Cleansing Butter were my other purchases for those wondering. I picked up the shade '02 Fair Matte' and it blends perfectly giving a warm glow with no orange hint in sight. I cannot stand shimmery bronzers as they looks so un-natural so this matte bronzer is perfection and is now definitely my favourite bronzer. Also, can we just admire how it looks?! SO pretty.
