Make up products i cant live without!


The products that you and i hate to love!

We all have them; products we buy because we just cant live without them in our lives! We  have the worse days when they run out, we get pleasure when we start a new bottle of them and as much as we hate spending on them we do it because its not a choice anymore!

Here are my top three products that i cant live without:

Coming in at number one is ...............(drum doll) 

Benefit Porefessional 



Now this comes in one shade and retails at £23.50 in the UK and can be found in Benefit stores, boots, House Of Fraser, and online on ASOS. This creamy velvety product is used to hide pores and i find controls shine as well. I use this as a base under my make up; even when i run down to the shop to get grocery's if i decide i'm brave and i wont wear make up, i will still use some of this! I introduced this to my whole family and managed to get everyone obsessed with it! I am now moving from the UK back to my home country where benefit dose not exist and i am STOCKING UP! 

Moving on to the second product !

Laura Mercier's mineral powder 



I cant even remember what i used before this; i have now been using this product for years. I don't wear liquid foundation on a daily basis i just layer my face with the porefessional by Benefit and a layer of Laura Mercier's mineral powder over that. I apply it using a Special Techniques powder brush; and i find together they give the best flawless coverage. My skin is not very problematic but its far from perfect; i battle combination skin problems. It comes in 8 shades i use Rich Vanilla although its ever so slightly dark for me but i like adding a slight colour to my face. This product can be found in House of Fraser or Selfridges if you are in the UK and it retails for £31.00 and usually lasts me about four to five months.


Last but not least ....

Nuxe Reve De Miel   


This lip balm completely changed my life (i'm not exaggerating . Firstly i have to explain how i use it because used the wrong way it can be just another lip balm. I use this at night only; i apply a thick thick layer before i sleep, and when i say thick scoop out that lip balm and apply girl don't be scared. In the morning wash your lips with soap to remove the grease and keep rubbing your lips till the layer of dead skin is removed (nasty i know). Once your done apply a very light lip balm ( i recommend Burt's Bees) followed by the darkest matte lipstick and prepare to be amused through your day! No chapping no matter what lipstick you choose the darker the better i say!  This retails for £9.50 in the UK and is very hard to find but M&S stock it in London the Oxford street branch dose. If you cant find this lip balm my sister dose the same routine with Labello and works just as well!



These three products have changed my life! and if it wasn't for beauty gurus online i would not have known about them! I decided to start this blog and share my thoughts on products and style with the world. 

Till next time .. be grateful for the things you have!

Let me know what your top three products are!
