Holy Grail Products

Hey guys! I’ve spoken about holy grail products throughout posts on my blog, however they’re all strewn about so I thought I’d do a post highlighting my absolute holy grail products.

Just to say, these products are the BEST. This category is pretty exclusive (ooooh) so these products, I believe, are so bloody incredible. They have never faltered to work flawlessly with my skin, all year around.

L’Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation

This is my number 1 foundation; its heavy duty yet doesn’t feel that way on your skin. It covers acne and doesn’t cake around pimples. All foundations are different on every person however I find this one is perfect for me. It has a range of colours and if you go into your local Priceline, they will be able to colour match you. It’s very liquidy, which makes it easy to blend and it is very buildable.

Neutrogena Hydro Burst Moisturizer

The best moisturizer on the planet! This is so smooth and lightweight yet moisturizes so well! I hate when moisturizers feel on my skin for minutes after I’ve rubbed it in, this one doesn’t! It seeps in seamlessly.

Elf Eyebrow Kit

This is the best eyebrow kit I have ever found-and it’s only $3! The wax is smooth and creamy and so easy to blend in. The powder is also nice however, I find myself only ever using the wax. This kit comes in three colours, this one is the medium option but I do have the darker shade as a spare.

Maybelline ‘The Falsies’ Mascara

This mascara is perfect at flaring the corner of my lashes. This mascara creates a naturally flared look, perfect for an everyday transition into night time. I have been through 3 of these tubes.

L’Oreal Brow Plumper

Everything about this is amazing. The small tip is the perfect size, and I love how it has a lengthy wand. This comes in three colours; blonde, brown and clear. This is the brown however; I would love to try the clear one.

Face of Australia Liquid Liner

This is so easy to use and makes the most opaque line. It stays on all day and all night and never needs retouching. For under $10, this is the best in the market.

Mac ‘Painterly’ Paint Pot

Eyeshadow does not do justice without this underneath. It covers all veins on my eyelid, and makes eyeshadow vivid and vibrant. I would suggest this to everyone, however depending on your skin tone you may have to change the shade.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in ‘Translucent’

The most amazing setting powder ever! Everyone needs this, especially under eyes. It comes in three colours, yet I’ve only tried this one shade. The other two I believe are yellow and pink based, for a little more coverage rather than just as a setting.

Maybelline Lash Sensational

This is my favourite mascara ever! It creates lashes that look almost like fake lashes, which I love. I want huge lashes and this one makes them. It is a little more difficult to remove, however if you use the Garnier remover (one with half purple), it works well.

Hope you guys enjoyed this and if you use/have used any of these products, I’d love to hear what you think! Xx 

August Favourites

These months seem to come around so quickly that before I even realise what I’m doing, I’m writing this post. I struggled to find things I have been loving this month, so there are only 4 products. Sorry but I just don’t want to be one of those people that just post about whatever as they just need to have faves.

Bananas

This is so weird but 2 weeks ago if someone asked me if I wanted a banana I would’ve said, ‘no, I don’t like bananas, I know its weird right I mean I feel like everyone likes bananas but I hate the texture and they just taste gross!’. Now I would say yes please! No clue what happened but I love bananas, which is strange since I don’t really enjoy many fruits.

Mac Crosswires

This lipstick is perfect for every day, I’ve slowly been moving away from the brown nudes and this colour is as bright as I feel comfortable wearing on an everyday basis. Estee from EssieButton made (kind of) buy it and I don’t regret it slightly.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze

I wear an eyeshadow base every day, yet I had forgotten how good these are! My friend said hers have dried out and I thought mind had too but I just spun my finger around in the tub and it undried quickly (I believe it was just the top). This is perfect for an entire eyeshadow look, if you’re feeling basic like me.

Jessup Duo Fibre Brush

Sally Jo said in one of her videos how when you’re pale, it’s easy to want to avoid blush especially pigmented ones as you don’t look flushy and cute but rather an awkward child who has just found their mother’s makeup. True. She recommended using a due fibre brush as it applies it lightly, and I have done just that and found it to be most effective!

ChiChi Cosmetics Lipstick in Social Climber

As I said above for Crosswires, this has been helping me come out of my comfort zone. This is a cheaper alternative. All ChiChi lipsticks are beautiful formulations and I think people who a turned off because they seem “cheap” are snobs #draggingsomeone

Maybelline Age Rewind

This is a concealer, right? Wrong. I’ve been using it as a foundation as there are hardly any foundations that are pale enough for me. It looks really smooth over acne and does a fabulous job of yanno, being a foundation. Maybelline, maybe come out with a foundation same consistency?

Eyebrow Brush (Priceline, unsure brand)

No clue this brand but it’s so hard to find an eyebrow brush but this one is pretty damn good and brushes dem brows out.

Playlists

I have been obsessed with making playlists on my iTunes lately. My current playlist is called peanut butter and jams and some songs I have been enjoying are:

Drag Me Down- One Direction (say what yuou will, this is a jam)

All Too Well- Tay (scream this like a monologue in your car, amazing)

Backseat Freestyle- Kendrick (always incredible)

Do It Again- Pia Mia

Only- Nicki

Thanks for reading! Have a good day/night xx

Models Prefer Lipstick Swatches

Hello!

Recently I was at Priceline and saw these Models Prefer lipstick packs for $5 each. I bought both and decided to do a lipstick swatch post.

The lipsticks are a creamy formula and are amazing quality for around $1.70 each. The bright colours are very opaque and although the nude colours all kind of look alike, they are all incredible!

Anyway, onto the swatches:

Top: Heartbreaker, Forbidden Kiss, Va-va Voom

Bottom: Sweet Dreams, Kisschasy, Paparazzi Pink

There you go! Hope you liked these swatches and I would definitely recommend these, you can pick them up from Priceline!

Toodaloo xx
