What's in my (very small) makeup brand

I'm not a beauty guru, or at least one who tries product after product. I'm a woman of routine, who finds one product and sticks to it. Or maybe it's because I'm not particularly adventurous in my makeup search.

That being said, I though it would be nice to share my 'must-use' products that I use on a day-to-day basis, and in some cases, I get through at an alarming speed. Silver lining of that is that I acquire Boots Advantage Points at lightning speed. 

No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation

This is definitely my splurge product. I think if you invest in one beauty product it has to be foundation. I like a foundation that actually covers, and if I can skip concealer I will because foundation does exactly the same task. Also if you go to the No7 counter they use that clever gadget to find your exact shade!

Maybelline Matt Maker Powder 

I have to give an honourable mention to the Revlon Powder here, as it was one I used to use for a long time. But then I simply decided that spending that much on a powder was a bit pointless, since I get through them at lightning speed (no really!). So I ended up going for this one, mainly because it's matte, and pretty cheap.

Rimmel London Natural Bronzer

In Essex we like a bit of bronzer, so I like a bit too. Mainly because I hate being pale, and it warms me up a little bit, especially in the winter. I'm not particularly fussy about my bronzer. Rimmel London is a pretty safe brand with affordable prices. I think I picked this up at random and it's served me well.

Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eyeliner Pencil

I actually own this eyeliner in black and brown, with the brown getting used more as a daily choice. It's quite light and has just enough 'makeup' in the look without looking heavy. That and its much easier to remove. I also have an Avon eyeliner pen in black which is a bit heavier for a real impact.

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Reloaded Mascara

I'm definitely team eyes over lips, so a good mascara is an absolute must. I think at one point when I was at school I would apply four at the same time! I've been using this Rimmel Mascara for a very long time, and I still use it now because it never lets me down!

I don't have a specific lipstick or lip-gloss I use day-to-day. I prefer to just apply a slick of Vaseline, or a tinted lipbalm.

And before you think, what about scent? Well I am so fickle, I don't have a signature scent, although I love the small of vanilla!

So there you go, my makeup essentials. Unfortunately they are not particularly exciting, or extravagant. But I thought it would be a fun, girly thing to post about!
