Its hard to believe it's September next week, where has our summer gone too? And then again we didn't exactly have a scorcher to begin with!
So as Autumn approaches I want to keep as much of a Summer glow as I can - even if it means faking it! So here's my five makeup essentials for everyday wear and they are very budget friendly!
First on my list has to be Rimmels wake me up foundation & I use shade 100 - Ivory. This foundation gives an instant, radiant and healthy glow in one application. It's light and easy to apply, gives great coverage and takes away any signs of tiredness or fatigue - just what I need! It has an SPF 15 and the best part is this bottle of radiance costs just €10.99 normally but the good news, Boots have it on offer at €6.99 at the minute. Time to stock up!
Next has to be Fuschia's Boom Brow, it's a small pot that transforms and scultps the brows! For a brunette my brows are so fair so without this product I look like I have non exsistence brows! So not only will Boom Brow define and fill in the brows but it keeps them looking in shape. I use an angled brow brush to apply the product and its available in three shades. It costs €15.50 for one pot but considering the small amount used per application and the fact that it really lasts and sets like a powder means its a winner in my eyes. The only problem with this product is once you start using it, you will be addicted! And did I mention it's flake free too.
Moving on to Sleeks face form contouring & blush palette, which I use in the light shade. This palette makes contouring and highlighting so quick and easy and thats why I love it! With a beautiful bronze contour powder, a rose gold blush (which I must admit is so similar to the Nars Orgasm blush) and a really nice pearly highlighter, it's perfect to really make those cheekbones pop. And the best part is this palette costs only €13.49 and being so compact it's perfect for on the go!
My fourth favourite everyday essential has to be the NYX Doll eyes mascara in waterproof. Being so fussy when it comes to finding a good mascara I really love this one for the simple reason that it doesnt cake or its not clumpy. The brush separates the lashes to add length and volume but it does set quickly when applied to the lashes, so if your like me and must apply two layers of mascara then just apply it quickly! And being waterproof it doesn't smudge or fall under the eyes but it's simple to remove with an eye makeup remover. This one costs only €10.99.
And finally Rimmels colour rush lasting intense colour balm in shade 110, make me blush. This chunky lip pencil is glossy and luscious to apply. It super long lasting even after eating and drinking throughout the day. It's a great colour to wear from day to night and so handy for the handbag.
Let me know if you have tried any of these beauties!
