My Daily Make-up Essentials!

 Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzer in shade 51, Rimmel Exxagrate Liquid Eye Liner, Bourjois Extreme Clubbing Mascara, Dior Forever Foundation, MAC Lipstick in shade Creme Cup, Clinique Loose Powder, L'oreal Studio Effects Primer, MAC Eyebrow Pencil in shade Lingering, Benefit High Brow, MAC Blush in shade Fleur Power, Laura Mercier Secret Camoflage Concealer, Urban Decay Naked2.

I love having a few select products which I go back to on a daily basis. I am always one for trying new products, but each time I do, I end up going back to the same selection. For the price, I find these the best products for me. 

I love the Bourjois Bronzer and think the shade is perfect for my face for both winter and summer as its not shimmery, which I like, but also adds that little bit of extra radiance! I use liquid eye liner on a daily basis and I much prefer this to gel liners. I love the brush on this product, the colour lasts all day on my eyes and doesn't run out quickly at all! For mascaras, I love so many high end versions but, with saving money in mind,  for the price this one by Bourjois matches up most closely to the likes of YSL and Dior, which I also love. I sometimes find this a little too thick so I use a mascara like L'oreal Million Lashes to separate my lashes a bit. I posted about this Dior foundation when I first got it a couple of months ago and I still abolutely love it! You can see my review of this here. I have also posted about the MAC lipstick. This has crept its way into my daily routine as I find it so easy to use and the light colour is perfect for everyday use whilst being quite moisturizing for my lips.  You can see my first review here.

I love using this loose powder by Clinique. It gives me a light and matte look but doesn't make my face look to make-up heavy. My two favourite brow products are the MAC pencil in the shade lingering,  and the Benefit High Brow. I have posted about the pencil here. The Urban Decay palette is quite new to me but I really like the shade range and it is perfect for daytime. My ultimate beauty must have, and one I could not live without is  my Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer in the shade SC-3. I will be posting about this soon and you can see how much I love it and why!

What are your daily make-up essentials? Have you tried any of these products?

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette






This may not be a brand new eye shadow palette, but it is new to me! I recently decided to treat myself and got this beautiful set for £36 from House of Fraser. I think this is such great value considering that the single urban decay eyeshadows are £13 and the same size! The brush included is great to, especially as it is double ended - with a one side to blend and the other to apply the colour. The shade range is beautiful and I definitely think I will be using every single one. I love the mix of matte, shimmer and micro glitter; they all go perfectly together and the variety of light and dark makes it great for a natural look for both day and night.

This also came with a mini Lip Junkie Lipgloss in the pinky-brown shade Naked, which I find a little strange but it adds quite a nice touch. I also love the casing of this product, and it definitely feels more sturdy compared with the Naked palette. I also love the huge mirror which makes it perfect for travel despite the size. I would love to try the eye shadow primers with these but at an extra £22 I think I might have to wait!

What do you think to this palette, have you tried it or do you have an alternative?
