All of the products I’m raving about today were first time purchases and are now ‘must-buy-again’ favourites.
MAC CREME CUP: This cremesheen beauty is THE perfect pinky nude and was also the very first MAC lipstick/product I ever purchased. (I know, I was quite late to the game, but I’ve definitely made up for it) Creme Cup quickly became my ‘everyday’ colour and I finally understood the hype, my lips didn’t know what they were missing out on!
MARY LOU-MANIZER: Another product I’d seen a lot of hype about was the Balm’s range of highlighters. I’m a sucker for packaging, so that alone had me enticed; a friend of mine is a makeup artist and reguarly used the Mary Lou-manizer on her clients. Not even a few weeks after purchasing and falling in love with it’s velvety soft glow, @lucille.kai used this on me for a photoshoot; now you see me.
OGX BRAZILIAN KERATIN THERAPY SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER: I received these Christmas last year and now OGX is one of the only brands I use on my hair. Being a girl on a budget, this is a great supermarket alternative when you’re looking for a salon finish feel with no sulphates or parabens! Oh, and it smells amazing!
LUSH COMFORTER: On the topic of amazing smells.. the Lush Comforter shower gel is literally what the label says – ‘A cuddle in a bottle’ – It smells heavenly – This berrylicious, reassuring shower cream brings to mind warm, familiar memories. The blend of sweet cassis absolute, uplifting bergamot and assuring cypress essential oils create a blackcurranty aroma that’s like being wrapped in a snug hug. – and turns even quick showers into a pamper moment. My skin gets so soft, it just leaves a cozy feeling and I’m ready to jump into bed. And lets not bipass the fact that it’s insanely pink!
LOREAL TRUEMATCH FOUNDATION: Last but certainly not least is the Loreal Truematch foundation. It’s a product that’s been circulating hype for a while now, and with good reason. I’m yet to find a better drugstore foundation since and it’s become an absolute staple. It has a very thin, almost watery consistancy but on the skin the coverage is amazing while still feeling lightweight. I’ve been combining it with my MAC Studio Fix NC20 or wearing it on it’s own and am in the shade 2N Vanilla
