Beauty Favourites

I'm currently in Barcelona again and because the weather is hotter, I've switched up some of my makeup and skin care products. Here are some of my favourites!

 

MAC Prolong Wear Concealer-This product has a high coverage and is perfect for covering blemishes and dark circles, its lightweight and isn't cakey on your face and blends well using a brush, sponge or your ring finger. I'm in the shade NC30 and would purchase another lighter colour to highlight if it wasn't for the price (£17.50).  A cheaper alternative is the collection lasting perfection concealer, which you can buy for £4.19 from superdrug, it gives the same amount of coverage, but I feel that its harder to blend and can look cakey.

MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation-I find that this product gives a sheer to medium coverage and is very lightweight and perfect for the summer time. It makes you feel that you aren't wearing any makeup but it evens your skin tone by hiding redness and the look of blemishes. I have mine in the shade NC40, which is slightly darker than my skin tone, but I'm going to tan in the sun. This costs £22.00 and can also be used to set foundation/concealer for extra coverage.

Lush Herbalism Face & Body Cleanser-I purchased this once again from lush for £6.75 and have already written about it on my empties post, click here to read it.

Benefit They're Real Mascara in Beyond Blue-This product lengthens and separates my lashes so well and I thought that by having it in blue it would be perfect for the summer months as it adds colour to your look without being to bold. This also is a good way of skipping eye shadow but still having colour on your eyes.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer-This product is great for adding a natural glow and really brings out a tan, it can also be used to contour and extenuate your cheekbones and high points of your face. I like to brush it over my temples and cheek bones to give me a more defined look.

& Other Stories Chiffon day Cream-This cream is gel based and light on the skin. Its perfect for oily skin as it matifies your face and keeps your face smooth and supple. I use it under my makeup as it keeps me from getting too oily throughout the day.
