Cannot live without this! It really does live up to the hype around it. This makes my shadows blend easily, makes the colour really pop and best of all makes my shadows last all day! I've repurchases several times and i cannot live without this. The only downside of course is the package because whilst pretty, you loose out on a lot of product due to the design and the only way of getting to it is to hack the prettiness to pieces with a knife. UD should put this is pot form or something to that effect to help with this problem. I can't recommend this product enough!

Lip Gloss -MAC - Lipglass in Prrr

This was my first Lipglass from MAC still 5 years later still love it. It is a gorgeous pink colour and applied in a light coat is my MLBB gloss. For this reason i have re purchased several times. Like all lipglass it is quite sticky and thick but the lasting power makes up for that. I find if i top this with a clear gloss this adds some extra shine whilst eliminating some of the stickiness.

Self Tanners -St.Tropez - St.Tropez Tinted Self Tanning Mousse/Whipped Bronze
rated 5 of 5

This product is seriously amazing and is fast becoming my HG tanner! The mousse is brownish-green in colour and a little goes a long way. Once applied you will be left with a brown tint to your skin which will deepen over a few hours as the tan develops. For this reason you should apply at night. The guide colour can look somewhat streaky but once you shower in the morning you are left with an even golden brown natural looking tan. I usually apply this all over once a week and top up every other day with L'oreal Nutrisummer to maintain the colour. Prior to applying i shower and exfoliate all over then apply moisturizer to elbows, knees, feet etc i then use either a tanning mitt or rubber gloves to apply all over. Do not use your bare hands to apply the mousse because it is a pain to get off. I then mix 1 part mousse with 1 part moisturiser an apply over my face and blend into neck and ears. I do the same to apply to my hands. I find this gives the most natural finish. Definite repurchase!

I discovered this product through my hairstylist who used this one my hair prior to blow drying. It left my hair feeling so soft and nourished i had to buy a bottle. One bottle has lasted me 2 months and i will be repurchasing.

Lotions/ Creams -Palmers - Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula
rated 5 of 5

I have been using Palmer's for around 3 years and continue to repurchase. The scent is strong but smells DELICIOUS! I wouldn't recommend this for people who do not like heavily scented products as the smell can become overpowering. The older packaging was a basic squeezy bottle with a long neck which causes some difficulty in getting the product once you have used most of the product (think the UDPP of lotions) however, the newer packaging with the flip lid is alot better. I have found this is best used just after a bath or shower as this helps the product sink in and gain maximum benefits. It also helps soothes skin after shaving.

Eye Shadow -MAC - Shroom
rated 5 of 5

Shroom has got to be my favorite eyeshadow! It is a satin finish which gives a smooth finish with just enough impact to really make your eyes stand out. Works as a great highlight on my NC25-30 skintone. This shadow looks lovely at night with a smoky eye or during the day as a wash over the lid with Wedge and Satin Taupe in the crease (LOVE this combination!) for a subtle look for school, office etc No make up bag should be without this eyeshadow!
