Everyday Favourites: Make up

I've decided to start sharing some of my favourites with you all. I find it easy to forget the things I use everyday and love. I thought I'd start by sharing some of my make up favourites.

Bourjois Intuitive Liner (Review)

I've always been a gel liner girl and if I was using liquid liner I would use the ones with the pot rather than the felt tip style. This liner has completely converted me. It's so easy to use and I love the triple dot tip so it can be used to add thickness to your lashes or as a liquid liner.

Urban Decay Naked 2

I've actually never reviewed this on the blog. As there are so many reviews on it I didn't bother. I was one of those of those people who loved the MUA palettes and thought spending £36 on a palette was stupid and couldn't be worth it. In America last year I picked this one up and was so impressed. My poor MUA palettes don't get a look in. I use this most days. I love all the colours in it and have hit pan on some. It's so easy to use and can create loads of different looks. Definitely worth the money. I'm drooling over Naked 3 now.

Revlon Colour Stay in Buff (Review)

I recently rediscovered this. When I first tried it I instantly loved it. I had two bottles so when I used one up I left the other one until I had used up more of my products. I've recently been using it again and I love it. The colour choice is amazing for pale girls and the coverage is perfect. It doesn't cake and lasts pretty much all day on me. It great all rounder.

Benefit BrowZings (Review)

I look back at old photos before I used to fill my brows in and they look so pale. I love a good defined brow and think it makes such a difference. The powder and wax combination is great and easy to use. I don't personally use the brushes provided as they are small and annoy me. The lightest shade is perfect for me and my ever changing hair colour. I use this most days now and I'm definitely addicted.

Liz Earle Natural Glow Bronzer (Review)

This is literally a must have product for me. Since Christmas last year I'd say I've worn this 97% of the time. It's amazing. It's matte, the perfect colour and blends onto the skin flawlessly and lasts. I love using it to contour and bronze and I've only just hit pan now.

Benefit Dandelion Blush (Review)

I have only started using blush in the last 2 and a half years. As someone with naturally rosey cheeks I always used to use foundation to cover them and thought applying blush over the top was stupid. How wrong was I. I love blush now and this is my all time favourite. A soft pink colour with the softest shimmer and it's great for me as I can't go over the top.

So that's my must have make up items. Are any of these on yours? What are your make up items you can't go without?

Review: Bourjois Intuitive Liner

When I won a big Bourjois competition back in the summer the Bourjois Intuitive Liner was on of the products included in my prize. L had tried one by 17 but hadn't got on too well with it as it dried up quickly. 

This is one of those products I've wanted to try for a while. I've heard lots about them but never gotten around to picking one up. I'm always put off by felt tip type eye liners as I find they just dry up quickly.

The liner has a unique triple dot tip to it. It is great for people who aren't great at using liquid liners as the triple dots allow you to draw yourself a line to trace. The colour is an intense black which I was pleased to see as I find sometimes felt tip liners aren't very black. It has bled on my hand but doesn't on the eye.

One way I like to apply it is to simple push the liner into my lashes. It's easy to do and you don't need to worry about a steady hand. I simple push the tip right up to my lash line and dot going along. It's great for making the lashline appear thicker without a thick obvious black line.

It's also great for cat eye looks and can be easily used as a standard liquid liner.

Surprising myself I've found myself grabbing for this over my maybelline gel liner. It really is so much simple to use. I'm so impressed with the fact it hasn't dried out and is still giving a strong black line. It makes my make up much quicker to do in the morning. I think I may be converted!

It currently retails for £6.99

Are you a liquid or gel liner person?
