5 Beauty Products I Can't Live Without



Okay, so maybe saying that I can't live without a beauty product is a tad dramatic, but these are the things that my face and those around me would suffer greatly for if I didn't own them (again with the drama.) These are my splurges, my investment products and a highstreet gem at the end.
So here we go:



 The Naked 3 Palette 

Now, I know what you're thinking. If you don't already own it, you've definitely heard absolutely enough about it, but this is my 'holy grail' product. I reach for it on an almost daily basis, it is so incredibly diverse and you can get so many different looks from it. I love that from the same palette I can look like Emma Watson and Kendal Jenner (yeah right, in my dreams maybe). For me, it's a no brainer, I will repurchase and repurchase in a heartbeat. I also snuck my MAC 217 in here because I didn't feel the need to include it as a feature - lets face it, you don't need to be told how much of a staple this is.




Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush in Plush Petal 

I am an absolute sucker for gorgeous packaging, and what is more stunning than the classic gold finish of Estee Lauder products? But what I love most about this product is that it's as good as it looks. It truly delivers on pigmentation and blendability, and the dark-to-light gradient means you can create the perfect shade. For some reason the online swatch doesn't match up at all, but this is a beautiful pink toned blusher, so it is great for pale skins and gives that 'just come in from the cold' look.



Kheil's Creamy Eye Treatment

I first heard about this on one of Zoella's monthly favourites, where she described the exact problem that I had been having. She'd had a reaction to a product that had changed the way the skin around her eyes was behaving, making her makeup gather in the corners and cling to the dry patches left behind. I have the exact same problem caused by eczema flair ups and as my wedding was fast approaching, I was getting pretty desperate. This product is not cheap, but it absolutely does the trick and even suits my uber sensitive skin.




YSL Babydoll Mascara

I got this sample size mascara for free last time I purchased my touche éclat, and boy is this the best freebee I've ever received. This mascara is magical, my eyelashes are short at best, but this baby makes me look like bambi in seconds. I will absolutely be purchasing the full size version when I run out, which comes with the bonus of THAT packaging...




Like most girls, I love a high end lipstick, those creamy YSL and MAC bullets get me every time. But also like most girls, I'm not loaded, so when I discovered that bourjois lipsticks gave me such incredible pigmentation, coverage and staying power, I was made up! I honestly haven't bought a Bourjois lippy that I don't love, and these two bad boys, Rouge Edition in Rouge Buzz and Rouge Edition Velvet in Grand Cru, are my absolute favourites. The creamy texture leaves my lips, which are usually prone to being quite dry, beautifully hydrated and full, so I am one happy camper. 

A bit of a longer, more rambling post time, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it!

  2. I've heard about the Naked palette so much that I definitely need to give it a go! But I've been eyeing up the new L' Oreal nude palette- I wander if any of you tried it yet?

    1. I haven't as of yet!! But I would absolutely recommend the Naked 3, it's so hyped up that I wasn't sure if it would live up to its reputation but I just love it! I'd quite like to try the Naked 2 as well!
