I always have the best intentions to do monthly favourites posts but I never get around to actually doing them! I thought instead of starting this and never finishing it, I would just do it this way when I can and when I have enough to show you. I will separate these into categories such as skincare, make up and fashion etc.
I am also trying out the Beauty Sets website so I can add something a little different to my blog, please do let me know your thought on this.
Anyway, onto the products! I will start at the top and go from left to right...
REVLON NEARLY NAKED FOUNDATION & POWDER
I have had these for a while, but to be honest with you when I started to use the foundation I didn't really like it. I'm not sure if at the time there wasn't enough coverage for me, or that I wasn't applying the correct way for my skin etc. But this has now changed, now that I am pregnant my skin is looking and feeling amazing I don't need much coverage, therefore this foundation is perfect. I also apply the first very thin layer with my fingers then build up any areas I feel that I need more coverage with a brush. I then set this with the matching powder and away I go! I did a review several months ago when I first tried it, you can find that here.
No7 LASH ADAPT MASCARA
This is another product I have had for a while, just never got around to trying it. I found it in my drawer unopened and gave it a whirl. I'm really glad I did. Its a great build able mascara that hasn't yet clumped on me. It's perfect for everyday wear with one coat, but can easily turn into an awesome mascara for night if you just add a few more layers. A more in depth review to come......
SLEEK FACE FORM
This small palette has been apart of my make up routine pretty much everyday since I purchased it months ago.... I just can't seem to use anything else to contour. My full review is here.
MAC PRO LONGWEAR CONCEALER
This is a staple in many people's make up bags I'm sure, but it has literally always been in mine. I love this for my under eye area if set with a good powder I simply add a small amount to my under eye area and blend it out with my fingers.
BY TERRY HYALOURONIC HYDRA PRIMER
I have been using this on and off for around six or so months, lately I need to use it much more during the day as my foundation doesn't seem to be lasting as long throughout the day, I'm pretty sure this too has something to do with my pregnancy! This is a super lightweight and applies sheer, it helps to take away any shine and creates a smooth surface for my foundation to glide onto.
You can find my full review on it here.
MAC PREP+PRIME LOOSE FINISHING POWDER
There seems to be a trend going on here, I buy way too many products..shove them in a drawer and then forget about them! This is the case with this. I discovered it hidden away about three weeks ago and haven't stopped using it since. Its a gorgeous white loose powder that is invisible to the eye once applied. It help to set your make up and take away shine. You can also use this just after applying moisturiser if you don't wish to apply foundation.
What are the make up items you love at the moment?
Stay Beautiful
I just love favourites posts, too. But seem to never do them for similar reasons like you. I feel like I need a little bit more time to figure out what products I really like at the moment. You seem to have some nice ones :) especially the primer... I want to try it now! May favourites are probably my Hourglass Immaculate Foundation as well as my RiRi hearts Mac Blush (Bad Girl Gone Good). I also really enjoy using Nars Light Reflecting Powder and nearly all of the Retro Matte Lipsticks by Mac :)
