These are my top 5 beauty products that i am using on a daily basis and loving at the moment. First off is something I discovered a few months back after hearing of its beauty benefits as well as its nutritional uses. Coconut oil can be used on your skin, hair, and of course you can eat it. I like to use it as a body moisturiser after my bath and find it sinks into the skin nicely and helps keep my skin soft especially in the naturally dry areas like your elbows and knees. An additional benefit I've found is that it makes my nails a lot stronger and less brittle. The one I use comes in a 125ml pot and costs £2.29 from Superdrug, which lasts me about 3 weeks using it daily.
My next Beauty must have is something I recieved in a Glossybox last August and is the Emite Eyelash Curler. I had never been very interested in eyelash curlers or purchasing one as I thought they wont make much of a difference to my eyelashes and I would rather spend money on a new mascara than a good eyelash curler. So thats why beauty boxes are so good at showing you products that you might of never considered using. After using these eyelash curlers I can definitely notice my eyes look a lot bigger and they lift my eyelashes at each corner of the eye that would usually fall a bit more downwards and i'm surprised at how much of a difference that makes after you apply mascara when those lashes are lifted and curled. So if you are doubtful as to if eyelash curlers are worth purchasing I would definitely recommend investing in a pair.
My last blog was a review of this Hand Cream that I've only recently purchased but I noticed such a significant difference so fast that its definitely a firm beauty favourite. The Superdrug Hand Therapy 2 in 1 Hand and Nail cream. I had been suffering from dry hands over the winter that were getting worse and other hand creams weren't working so I bought this after reading really positive reviews and am really happy I did because literally within a few days this persistent dry patch on my hand that had been bothering me for weeks had disappeared completely. Its super affordable at £1.89 for the 150ml tube and since using it nightly my hands are soft and smooth without a dry patch in sight.
Onto Makeup, I have been using the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply my foundation since last year and am loving it. Its a domed shaped, quite dense brush and it gives a natural coverage while making foundation really easy to blend into the skin. The Real Techniques range was created by Samantha Chapman who is a successful Makeup Artist who has a YouTube channel where she gives demonstrations on how to use each brush and shows the finish they give, as well as hundreds of makeup tutorials.
Finally is a product that has been in my MakeUp bag for a couple of years and is the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in On and On Bronze. Its a gel eyeshadow that claims it can last up to 24 hours (although I have never stayed up for 24 hours to try and test that.) I love how easy it is to apply I just apply it with my finger on my eyelids just by smudging it on and its really blendable and easy to rub off if you get it somewhere you don't want. And then i take an eyeshadow brush and blend it underneath my eyes. The eyeshadow stays on for a good 12-14 hours which is the longest I've ever had it on for which I think is pretty good for day to day wear without re applying which could probably take you through to the night if you were going out, although it does tend to build up around the crease of the eye by the end of the day so I would need to just blend that but still wouldn't need to reapply the eyeshadow again. Its very pigmented and you don't need much at all on each eye as it blends very well and i think gel eyeshadows give off a more natural effect than matte eyeshadows and are a lot easier to apply if you are in a rush in the mornings you can literally just sweep it over your eyelids and it will be there until you take your MakeUp off that night. Its very affordable at £4.99 and lasts me about 6 weeks using it daily.
I hope you enjoyed this blog and that its given you some inspiration for things to try out :)
