So this month my favourite products were:
1. Benefit Blush in Coralista - honestly if I had to pick one blush for the rest of my life, it would be this, it's a perfect corally-pink with a touch of shimmer, it provides a glowy cheek and with the shimmer there is no need for a cheek highlighter.
2. Benefit The POREfessional - when I first used this product I was a bit 'meh' with it, but lately I've been testing it out again and find that it works much better if I let it settle into my skin for a few minutes before putting on my foundation. It really does minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores. When the sample runs out, I'm upsizing!
3. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation - I bought this foundation after Tanya Burr raved about it and used it so much on her You Tube channel. I've found it's been working really well for me as winter approaches, as your skin tends to get a bit dull in winter this foundation brings back that radiant glow. On the days I don't want to wear a full face of foundation I usually use the Rimmel BB Cream and then just dot this on where I need a little more coverage.
4. Rimmel Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch in Peach Glow - I love a liquid highlighter and this gives a lovely fresh look to your cheekbones and cupids bow. I use a pea sized amount to rub between my ring and middle fingers and then pat onto my face and then blend. Layer with a coral coloured blush and increase the longevity!
5. Beauty Blender - Aha! My saviour, no longer will I have that caked on make up look, actually I don't think I've ever suffered from that, but this little black magic egg will change the way your make up looks! I've tried the dupes of the Beauty Blender (ie - Pod) and this wins hands down. You wet the Blender and it grows to almost double it's size, squeeze all the water out of it and then all you do is literally "bounce" your foundation onto your skin. It's also great at blending out harsh edges of blush and contour.
6. Rimmel Vinyl Gloss in 270 Fashion Icon - I've got a real thing for anything coral or orange (if you haven't already noticed!). This gloss is not sticky and can give a nice sheer coverage or layered to a hot orange colour! I'm sure I'll be buying another one of these in a month as I'm using it every day!
7. Stila Duo eyeshadow in Kitten - Oh this is such a lovely duo, just the right amount of satin to give your eyes a lovely pop! I like to use the pinker side all over my mobile lid and then put a touch of the gold side right in the middle of my lid. Heaven!
8. Maybelline Dream Lumi touch Highlighting Concealer - I bought this in Light as I wanted to use it to highlight my skin with a matte product, I use this in an upside down triangle shape under my eyes, down the middle of my nose and on my cupid's bow to bring light to the middle of my face. Don't forget to blend out.....yes, as you guessed it enter the Beauty Blender right here!
9. Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Liner - for those of you who suck at putting liquid liner on yourself, go out and get yourself one of these stat! It has a long pen shaped applicator and basically all you have to do is rest it on your upper lash line to get a lovely line. Repeat all the way along your lash line and then to create a cat eye flick, just angle the nib at the invisible line from the side of your nose to the end of your brows, place the line and fill it in. I'm not saying you'll get if first time (snaps to those of you who do!) but just some practice and patience and in no time you'll be cat eyeing it all over the place!
10. Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express Cat Eyes - Yes, another mascara has taken over the coveted top spot.....this has a curved wand and a proper brush and gives me long lush lashes that I love......no more explanation needed.
So, which of my Top 10 do you already use and love and which ones are you off to buy?
