After hoarding, loving, purchasing and receiving many beauty products, I finally managed to bring the list down to the ultimate favourite five products that have been overused and talked about so much throughout this year.
BOBBI BROWN PRESSED POWDER IN PALE YELLOW | purchase here
I have tried out SO many under eye setting powder this year and this one is by far my favourite one. It sets my concealer so beautifully without changing the colour of my concealer leaving it looking flawless. I have mentioned this non-stop over on my social media and have even got back ups of back ups. It has a gorgeous velvety texture and applies smoothly. I love applying this by pressing it onto my skin with a damp beautyblender.
HUDABEAUTY LIQUID MATTE LIPSTICKS | purchase here
The best high end liquid lipstick I've tried this year. I was waiting so eagerly for this release and as soon as I received that CultBeauty order, I lost control and nearly ordered half the collection. The shades are soo stunning and definitely complement my complexion. It dries fully matte but does not dry out the lips. The doe-foot applicator makes it super easy to apply - even without a lip liner. It's long lasting, highly pigmented and lightweight - everything a liquid lipstick should be. Read my full review here
IC LASHES IN GIGI | purchase here
If you've been following me for a while, you'll know how much of a lash junkie I am. I am a sucker for a good pair of lashes that I can get a million wears out of. When I was sent the style Gigi by ishyxchads, firstly how cute is the name? (as are the rest of the styles in their entire collection). Secondly, I love how wispy and full they are and still manage to look so natural - I love wearing these with minimal makeup. They are a dupe for the infamous Hudabeauty lashes in Samantha at a fraction of the price. I have worn my pair 30+ times and have purchased back ups. Read my full review here
LA GIRL HD PRO CONCEALER | purchase here
After many trial and errors and shade testing of this LA Girl concealer, I finally came across the perfecting concealing shade and highlighting shade. The shade range itself is absolutely huge and there's definitely a shade to match every complexion. It is a multi-tasking concealer - it can be used to contour with using the darker shades. It's so affordable, pigmented and photographs well. Read my full review here
LAURA GELLER ILLUMINATOR IN GILDED HONEY | purchase here
When people ask me to recommend them a highlighter, I alwaysss recommend this one. I've had this highlighter for the longest time and it's always the highlighter I take away with me when I go away. It has the perfect glow to it with its golden undertone that looks gorgeous against all complexions. It's not glittery but it's obvious once applied and the intensity can be built up by wetting the brush before applying it onto the skin. I love applying this lightly onto my brow bones and inner corner of the eyes while going heavy on my cheeks.
