Mine is in 110 ivory and this is the best foundation I have used, concerning the colour match to my skin. This colour is very pale and suits my skin very well, despite being a bit pink. I got the one for dry to normal skin, simply because I do have combination skin but it is mainly dry, despite my oily t-zone. I would say this foundation is full coverage, so I usually sheer it out on a day to day basis as it is quite heavy but great for when you need full coverage and for night out make up. The only downside is that there is no pump so it can get a bit messy, other than that I love the glass packaging as it makes it feel a lot more expensive that it actually is. Rimmel Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch £4.99
I love this because it can be used as either a highlighter or a blush. I got the one in 002 Radiant Rose and it is a lovely pink shade with shimmer. Full review coming soon! Soap & Glory Solar Power Bronzo £11.00
Soap & Glory are a brand pretty much EVERYONE has heard of! It is one of my favourite brands and I love the make up range. This bronzer has 2 shades, a darker colour and a lighter colour. They have slight shimmer, but they are almost matte so great for contouring! The colour pay off is fab, and the colours don't make you look like you've rolled in doritos, so an overall thumbs up from me! Elf Eyebrow Kit £3.75
I've heard that this is a great dupe for omega by MAC, although I do not own omega, they do look pretty similar of what I've seen of it, but I think omega may have a better colour pay off. The powder is great if you are fair and can't find eyebrow products that are cool tones enough! It is true to it's name - ash. It isn't too warm for my eyebrows at all! The darker colour is the gel which is also amazing, but I tend to use the powder more! But I have hit pan on the powder, so I may look into buying omega my MAC or I may repurchase this.. hmm. Real Techniques Buffing Brush (Core Collection £21.99)
POSSIBLY THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT UNDER £25!!! That is not an exaggeration. The buffing brush (if you don't already know)is from the Real Techniques Core Collection by Samantha Chapman (one of the Pixiwoo sisters)and it is amazing. It is dense, it washes well, doesn't shed and is SO soft. I use it for foundation, powder, cream blushers etc.. It is just amazing. EcoTools Bamboo Eyeliner Brush £5.49
Admittedly, I don't use this for eyeliner (unless I'm using eyeshadow as eyeliner) simply because I already have a brush for it. I do, however, use it for my eyebrows, along with the ELF Eyebrow Kit, together they can do wonders.. Bourjois Volume Glam Ultra Curl Mascara £7.99
This mascara makes my eyelashes look voluminous and ultra curly;) I do have mascara phases and this seems to be one of the longest. It isn't too wet or too dry, it's just right. It's amazing. Thank you for reading, what products are you currently loving? Olivia X
