After reading some of these posts I realised that I was guilty of using the same products over...and over....and over again. I looked at my collection and found a lot of half empty items that never get used and instead collect dust and waste space. I got inspired to use different things and this is where this post comes from.....Have fun shopping my stash with me! :)
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Perfume / Fragrance - As it is June now (I know it's crazy! Were halfway through 2013 already!) I have brought out this perfume from the back of my shelf. It is a very light, fresh and summery smell which is the reason that it is perfect for spring/summer. The packaging could be improved but aside from that I really love the scent. I have already used up half of the bottle!
Nivea Lip Butter - Raspberry Rose - Just like most girls I have more lip balms than I probably should. I have been using my EOS lip spheres daily but my lips have gotten extremely flaky and dry. The lip spheres just didn't cut it for me which is the reason why I started using the Nivea Lip Butter again in hope of saving my lips. The smell is absolutely gorgeous and I like the finish it gives. It is not too shiny but not too matte - its in the perfect middle. It is sheer on the lips and just like any other product from Nivea it moisturises really well. I got mine at Superdrug for only £1.50 when they first came out. I smelt the caramel one and I did not like it as it smelt like popcorn and I couldn't find the macadamia or original ones anywhere. This is the only one out of the 4 that I own and I love it!
Mac Studio Finish Concealer NC20 - After testing a lot of drugstore concealers I left this in the bottom of my makeup bag and forgot how great this concealer really is. It provides medium natural looking coverage which is great for under the eyes. Whilst being outside with my mum I asked her if my dark circles are showing through the concealer. She answered that it doesn't look like I have concealer on and she thought I had nothing on my face. Also she mentioned that you cannot see any darkness. If you cant see it in daylight you know its good! Its not as good for blemishes or redness, for that I would recommend the MAC studio finish concealer which has very full coverage.
Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter - This one is pretty self explanatory. Its a lemon scented cuticle butter! It works great and gets the job done but the scent of lemons makes me want to throw up which is the main reason I stopped using it for such a long time.
Rimmel lash accelerator endless mascara - brown - After testing out a few new mascaras I decided to come back to this one. It is my all time favourite mascara. What I look for in a mascara is separation and lengthening, not volumising which is exactly what this provides. I think it looks the most natural and fresh which is the look I go for as I am in my early teens and don't wear too much makeup everyday. I would avoid this if you want volume but it could work for layering mascaras if you want a more dramatic effect. I would say that the formula is quite dry which is my only complaint.
Real Techniques setting brush - I got this a few months ago to set my under eye concealer. At first I though it was a little too big which is why I put it away. I started using it again and realised just how perfect it was for powdering small areas of the face and under the eyes. It dries quickly after washes and keeps its shape. I also love the pink handle! I would recommend it.
Sorry that this post was so long and I hope you're not all asleep by now. I love you all and tell me in the comments what products you have been using recently! :D
