01. MAC Powder Blusher in Fleur Power: One of the first MAC blushes I bought, and still a firm favourite This is a matte dark coral/pink which works so well with my skin tone. I usually had a bit of highlighter with this, or just wear it alone.
02. Benefit Boi-ing Concealer: I fell in love with this years ago as I kept getting the Benefit kits at Christmas, and for some reason never got round to buying a full size version. This has become my favourite concealer in the last month. It's soft and creamy and so easy to apply. It covers everything.
03. Clinique All About Eyes Eye Cream: I got this free in a gift when I bought two Clinique products. Before this I'd never used eye cream, however the move to London has brought early mornings which means I have dark circles and puffiness under my eyes. This is quite cooling and refreshing and brightens my eye area.
04. The Body Shop Eye Palette: I'm not sure where this came from, it doesn't have a label or anything, but I recognise the engraving in the shadows as being from the Body Shop. This is a lovely eye shadow palette that I've been using most days to give me a nice natural eye. Two of the shades are matte, the other two have a slight sheen. They're very easy to wear for a nice day time look.
05. Rimmel Stay Matte powder: I'm not a big fan of Rimmel products at all, I prefer the higher end brands but I've never seen a mattifying powder from a higher end brand so I snapped this up, and its become my daily powder. It's great for absorbing excess oils and leaving skin looking fresh. A great way to set makeup, and it makes touching up the T Zone really easy throughout the day.
06. Korres Wild Rose Lip Butter: I'd heard lots of great things about this product, I got the chance to choose this when creating my Glossybox at the GB event. It's a very tinted lip butter, something you need a mirror to apply! A lovely way to give your lips a bit of colour whilst also keeping them in great condition. I love the Korres brand, and I've been carrying this with me everywhere recently.
07. Bobbi Brown Eye Corrector Duo: I originally didn't think much of this product, however recently I've been using it most days - replacing my much loved YSL Touche Eclat. I used to find it creased under my eyes quite quickly, but I think using the Rimmel Stay Matte powder helps to set it in place. This is a great product to cover up dark under-eye circles.
I have the Korres Jasmine lip butter and it's gorgeous, definately thinking about picking up the Wild Rose one for autumn/winter!
ReplyDeleteGreat favourites xx
That blusher looks like such a pretty colour as does the Korres Lip Butter! I have that powder but never use it, I'll have to give it another try x

I have never tried the benefit concealer, I always try more expensive products once I have given up on drug store and with concealers I certainly have given up, thanks for sharing :) x
ReplyDeleteI bought boi-ing last week and looove it!! definatley does what it says on the tin, you should try using 'watts up' on the brow bone and about an inch below the eye, it really helps to waken the entire area!

Oh, I love the Clinique Eye Cream, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI have the silver tin version of that Body Shop eye palette - mine's still got the labels stuck to it though. They are quite old, I've had mine since school, and I finished school six years ago. The silver one has two greys, a light kind of murky purple, and a pink. The purple is a bit rubbish and the greys are so-so but the pink is amazing, a lovely pale, matte, super-pigmented eyeshadow. My favourite matte pink.
ReplyDeleteThat Korres lip butter looks lush! It's so hard to find a tinted lip butter that actually gives you significant colour, and the plummy shade looks perfect for A/W. And I LOVE Boi-ing, but do you find it slides off after a while? I don't know whether it's because of my combination skin, but it never seems to stick around! x
ReplyDeleteGreat pieces of make up! very good taste!
ReplyDeletelovely post1 xxx
Nice favourites Kate! I NEED to try those Korres lip butters :) xx
ReplyDeleteHello from Greece! If you like Korres products, do try the jasmine body lotion... it's DIVINE!
ReplyDeleteNatasha x x
I love the packaging of the eye palette! And it sounds like I should get my hands on one of those lip butters xxx
ReplyDeleteI always use the stay matte powder. What you said about the finish is so right. I also got the clinique eye cream free. I never really use it. You've convinced me to try it xxxx
ReplyDeleteI really like Korres stuff - I have the balm and yes you definitely need a mirror! haha. I think I got it on asos a few years ago. It's very similar to the Topshop balms. Great post :)
