1. Estee Lauder Crystal Baby (lipstick)
A gorgeous natural lipstick with a beautiful pink, glossy finish. An absolute must-have for an everyday lip colour.
2. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
One of my favourite foundations of all time. This ticks all the boxes; feels light weight, medium coverage and very buildable, looks VERY natural - even my fiance commented on how good my makeup looked the first time i used it.
3. MAC Mineralized Skin Finish - Natural
This powder is a staple everyday item for me. I use it to set my foundation and to do touch-ups throughout the day. It's so smooth and makes skin look very velvety and flawless. It also has very good coverage if you use it on it's own and doesn't feel too powdery either.
4. Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara
The picture is of the normal version, but I actually have it in water proof (it has a blue ring instead of silver) and I really like the water proof version (although I haven't tried the regular). It has a very thick wand which may turn some people off, but i find that the formula really thickens my lashes well and it really holds the curl all day long.
5. Australis Colour Inject Lipstick - in Jive
I love the gorgeous bright/pastel pink colour of this lipstick. For a drugstore brand it has very good quality and excellent staying power (for me anyway). I always like to wear a conditioning lip balm underneath as it can be slightly drying, but not majorly, so maybe that's just me.
6. Nars Orgasm Blush
Love this blush. It's good for an everyday rosy glow. A peachy pink with gold small gold reflects (but the gold doesn't show up much, it just adds a nice glowy shimmer).
7. Australis Creme Blush
These cream blushes are lovely for a dewy look. Again, Australis is fast becoming a favourite drugstore brand for me.
8. MAC Studio finish concealer
This concealer is perfect for under the eye's. I find it slightly to heavy/thick for my skin, but it's staying power is perfect for an all day coverage to hide dark circles. I apply it with a MAC 224 brush.
9. Sigma F30 brush
The Sigma brushes are definitely my favourite brand of brushes. This large powder brush is heavenly to dust on powder. It's so soft and deposits the powder evenly and smoothly on the skin. I haven't had much shedding either (apart from the occassional hair, but nothing to turn me off).
10. Blistex lip balm
This lip balm is one of my daily essentials. I put it on in the morning before applying my makeup and then I re-apply throughout the day if my lips are particularly dry. It is magic stuff I tell you, no matter how dry my lips get, 1-2 days of using this and they are as soft and healthy as ever!
