Everyday Essentials

As someone who's ever in pursuit of product perfection, I'm forever jumping on the latest beauty bandwagon. I confess, most of the profucts I buy are relegated to the "just in case I need it" box under the bed, never to see the light of day again. Some products make it to the "empties" stage, but are never to be repurchased again.

It takes alot for me to go back to a product but when I'm impressed I'm forever loyal forsaking all others!

Revlon Makeup 

Colorstay has literally been with me since I started wearing makeup. It's the only foundation that has the longevity and coverage I need for my oily, acne prone skin. Wearing this gives me a confidence no other foundations give. For me, this beats all other foundations hands down, be it drugstore or high end.

Revlon as a whole is my favourite make up brand. I think other brands compromise on quality in order to keep up with trends whereas I've never found that from them! For example, their liquid matte lips offering. Pure perfection. I'm literally addicted - HD Seduction is the everyday nude.

Fragrance

Celebrity fragrances are not typically my thing. Although they are a lot more budget friendly, I feel like you never get the same quality. That is, until I stumbled across this perfect pair. 

Intimately Beckham is a lovely sweet but clean perfume. Rosie for Autograph is a slightly muskier, sultry scent. Two completely different smells with so much in common.

They're both wear really well - you can still smell them on yourself hours later. I always find people ask what I'm wearing when I wear these. Great everyday perfumes that are easy on the purse strings.

For a slightly more luxurious scent I love Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb as well as any of the Agent Provocateur range.

Skin 

Garnier's Micellar water is a firm favourite of mine. I adore it. They have several variations which are all on par with one another. 

Mainly I use it for make up removal but it's also great for a skin refresher on no make up days! 

Deodorant 

Probably a bit of a strange one for a blog post but no one wants to be a BO Joe, right?!

This roll on deodorant from Mitchum takes away ever body paranoia you could ever have. It smells clean, keeps you dry and lasts ALL day, what more could you want?
