Current beauty favourites #2

Hi there!

It's been a while since my last beauty faves post so I figured it was about time I posted another one. I decided against doing a monthly favourites as some months I only have 1 or 2 things I've been loving, and that would make for a pretty boring post right? 

Anyway, on with the faves of the moment:

Skin Care:

* Vaseline spray and go moisturiser. This is now my everyday moisturiser. I used to only moisturise every night after a shower, but because this is such an effortless product, I now moisturise every morning. This dries so quick which means I can throw on my clothes straight away

Make Up:

* Maybelline Master sculpt contour kit. I've had this for a few weeks now, and have used and loved it every single day. I have a full review here however, in a nut shell - this is amazing!! It's so blendable, not orange or muddy and great for travel

* MAC Brave lipstick. I'd had my eye on this shade for the longest time, but have a ridiculous amount of lipsticks and didn't feel like I needed it. However I bit the bullet, and am so glad that I bought it. It's a beautiful mauve/nude/brown and is a shade that will suit everyone

* MAC Rule eyeshadow. I recently posted   a review about this shade, and again it's something I use every single day. It's a perfect transition shade for all skin tones and all eyeshadow looks

What have you been loving?

Maybelline lash sensational mascara

Hi there!

During the last month, I think I've tried out three new mascara's and didn't get along with any of them. The reason? I'm so picky when it comes to my lashes.

I picked up and tried 3 different types from 3 different brands, and needed up having to go out and repurchase old faithful Maybelline Lash Sensational:

This has yet to let me down yet and seems to be the only mascara I have used that I can open up and use straight away (usually I open a mascara and leave it for around a week to dry out a little)

This mascara has a curved, rubber wand with tiny bristles that reach and coat each and every lash. Each coat adds a tonne of volume, and manages to separate and lengthen all at the same time.

I always buy the regular, non waterproof formula but do find that it stays put pretty well, even when it comes to removing it. I have a great make up remover so don't find this an issue and actually like that it's budge proof, it makes this the perfect mascara for those hot summer days.

If you're looking for THE mascara: Gives length, adds volume, separates each lash and is budge proof then this is the mascara for you. It's definitely one that I know I'll continue to purchase time and time again.

Have you tried this mascara yet?

Maybelline master sculpt

Hi there!

Contouring used to be something I'd dabble in once in a while if I was feeling adventurous or if I was heading into town for a night out with the girls. However, slowly but surely I've started to contour on a daily basis and wanted to share with you my new found love: Maybelline master sculpt...

In this little compact of goodness, you get a matte contour shade and a beautiful shimmer highlight. Both shades compliment each other perfectly and I've literally worn this every day since buying it.

The contour isn't overly pigmented (I did buy mine in the lightest shade) but is pigmented enough to make a strong enough contour to see. The highlight gives more of a sheen, there's a little shimmer but not too much - no discoball looking cheeks for us!

I apply my contour with the brush provided, and blend it out with a fluffy angled brush. For me, this gives the perfect chiseled look without looking too harsh. I love the packaging, not only is it sturdy, but it also contains a brush and a small mirror, perfect for travel.

The contour is more on the neutral shade - no sunburnt or muddy look for us paler gals, even though it looks a little on the warm side in the swatch, it transfers to the skin more neutral.

The highlight is a pretty, again, neutral shade and gives the skin a pretty sheen. 

This is a definite must for me now, I've even recommended it to family and friends, who are now just as in love as I am.

What's your favourite contour product?
