We've compiled a list of some of our recent favourites, both beauty and non-beauty below..
Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream in Light
£6.99
&
Max Factor Facefinity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 Foundation
(Primer, Concealer & Foundation in Warm Almond, 45)
£12.99
Both of these products give a lighter base and they suit both of our complexions, without being cakey or too full on. Both can be blended to the wearer's needs and last over 8 hours. The BB cream surprisingly has a much better coverage than a lot of foundations we have tried previously. Even though the Facefinity has a higher price tag, the texture and the coverage are unbeatable. Not too thick makes it perfect for the warmer months.
No.7 High Shine Lipgloss in Coral Kiss
£9
&
MAC Lipstick in Plumful
£15.50
The MAC lipstick is amazing quality but only lasts for just under 3 hours. MAC lipsticks come in simple but striking packaging and always stand out in your makeup bag. I really like how the lipstick comes out on my lips, its not too overpowering and its fairly subtle. Even though it is quite expensive you get alot of product and an amazing lip colour.
No7 Coral Kiss gives a light but neutral colour to the lips which matches well if you are wearing heavy eyeshadow. The gloss isn't too sticky and is very easy to apply, and gives a nice shine which lasts for about 5 hours. This has been an essential in my makeup bag for a while now, and I don't think it will be leaving anytime soon!
Soap & Glory Lid Stuff Flawless Finish in 'What's Nude'
£10
&
Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 Palette
£23
Soap and Glory's lid stuff in the shades 'What's Nude' is highly pigmented and lasts all day until you want to take it off. I use the lightest shade (top left) as a highlighter across the brow bone, the pinky shade (top right) in the inner corner of my eyes, the lighter shade of brown (bottom left) all over the lids and the sparkly brown (bottom right) in the crease of my eyelids. All the colours go very well together and are easily blend-able.
For someone who is not the biggest lover of matte, cool-toned eyeshadows, I'm LOVING this palette! It is light-weight and very practical for travelling. The first shade, 'Skimp', is a lovely satin shade that applies evenly all over the lid. With the use of eyeshadow primer, I found these shadows lasted about 7 hours before showing signs of wear. I enjoy using my Eco Tools brushes to blend the shadows evenly across the crease. My favourite shades are probably 'Cover' and 'Primal', and I've enjoyed following this tutorial.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume 100ml
£69.50
&
Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder & Highlighter
£7.99
&
Rollerlash Sample Size
Marc Jacobs perfumes have always been a favourite of ours, but there is something about Daisy Dream that just shouts spring! The packaging is beautiful, and the scent is much lighter than the original Daisy with elegant top notes of blackberry, grapefruit & pear. This may sound like a strange combination, but the heart notes of jasmine, lychee and blue wisteria and bottom notes of white woods, musk and coconut water brings it all together. Owning all the Marc Jacobs fragrances apart from Lola, this is by far our favourite and lasts through day to night.
Bourjois bronzer and highlighter duo is definitely one of our favourites, the inside product smells like chocolate and works wonders!! As summer is approaching bronzers are a handbag essential as they create a fake glow and highlight your cheek bones. I only recently purchased this product and have been using it many times since. The only downside to the product is that it takes quite alot of the bronzer for it to show up.
I received Roller Lash with one of the most recent issues of ELLE magazine. This mascara is different to any of Benefits mascaras that I have tried before and I have really enjoyed trying it out. Even though I only received a sample I have used it many times. It has got a curved plastic brush which curls your lashes and makes your lashes look alot longer. The mascara makes you look more awake and brings out the colour of your eyes. I will definitely be purchasing the full sized soon.
Our last favourite is live performances! While doing homework etc, sometimes the same spotify playlists on repeat can get a bit boring and repetitive, so watching live performances of our favourite artists can motivate to finish our work. Here's one of our current favourite artists...
