Whirlers,
Hope you`re all well and have entered my bloggy giveaway?! I`m having so much fun filling the MangoWhirl Surprise Box with goodies for a lucky Whirler!! :)
This month, I`ve been keeping my make up simple, because:
a) Its been warm/humid/wet - no chance to do anything nice
b) I`m lazy
c) Too much effort removing full face make up for namaz
d) I`m lazy
e) I`ve only been going to work this month - so, no one to impress
f) Did I mention I`m quite lazy??
So, I took a quick snapshot of my go-to items from my make up bag:
1. Sleek Contour Kit - Medium
I love this contour kit soooo much! I use it everyday, I feel fat if I don`t put it on. I`m obsessed with bronzers and contouring, and this is by far the best contour kit I have come across and at such a good price, you simply can`t go wrong with it.
2. NARS Blush-Bronzer-Highlighter Trio
Absolutely LOVE this! Although, the item I use the least is the Albatross Highlighter. I find it too shimmery for a day to day basis. I instead use the highlighter from my Sleek Kit! So much more natural.
3. HD Brows Kit
Got this in a GlossyBox last year, and it is the only decent item I ever got before I cancelled my subscription! I would most definitely re-purchase this once this kit finishes. I`m not a fan of 'fake' eyebrows, where it looks blatantly obvious you`ve filled it, but with this palette, it fills the eyebrows but isn`t so harsh? Does that make sense?
4. Studio Finish Concealer - NC42
I`ve stopped wearing foundation because of this product. I used to wear my Christian Dior concealer and foundation to hide my flaws, but it was always too heavy. I felt like my skin wasn`t able to breathe properly. However, I decided to try MAC as a fair few friends yapper about it, so I thought I would go and give it a go. And, I`m telling you now...I will not go back to Christian Dior concealer. I absolutely love this!! Lasts all day, too. So, good! Will definitely repurchase this.
5. L'Oreal Contour Kohl Pencil Eyeliner - Carbon Black
I have been using this pencil for YEARS. Not this EXACT pencil, but same product. I love it. It slides on so smoothly. The texture is nice and creamy. Only downfall is, its a pain to remove! But, I use it delicately and for just my upper lashline, to make my eyelashes appear thicker.
6. Clinique Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick - Blushing Nude
I love the colour of this lipstick, its natural yet with a little bit of pink to it. I can wear this on an everyday basis, which I love but looks so natural, as if I haven`t even worn any lipstick! I always reach for this lipstick when I feel I need a touch up throughout the day (but, I usually forget).
7. Urban Decay Lip Junkie - Naked
I absolutely love Urban Decay, whether it be their eyeshadows or their lip products. I got this with my Naked Palette 2, and I adore this product. It tingles and tastes all minty. It plumps up your lips RIGHT away, which is good for mine, which are small! I would definitely buy this and in probably a different colour, as there is a few shades in this range.
**MangoWhirl Surprise Box Spoiler**
I actually have this product in my box!!
8. L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes - Extra Black
This is amazing. I love it. On probably my 12386496324 tube. Love, love, love it. I feel lost without it! If you haven`t tried it, buy it. I prefer this to more high-end products! Especially, as mascara should be replaced every 6 months, so you don`t feel as guilty chucking it away!
What have you guys been using this month? Do you use any of the same products? If so, do you have a better recommendation?
