Currently Loving

It's been a while since I've done a round up of the bits and pieces I'm currently loving, so I figured it was about time I had a root through my makeup bag & handbag to see what's been getting the most attention recently!

Firstly, I want to mention a weird hair product, the Percy & Reed Shine and Fragrance Spray. Firstly, that bottle is beyond gorgeous, isn't it? So pretty! This stuff is coming in handy for post braid hair, when my locks are looking a little dry and frizzy, a spritz of this on the lengths gives it back a healthy, glossy look, without making everything greasy. It smells amazing too, floral, but not too heavy, you just get a waft every now and then! 

I've been seriously into a few cheek products recently. After a prolonged absence (read: getting lost in a handbag)  I've been reunited with my beloved Creme Blush de Chanel in Revelation, and things have never been so good. This soft pink blush has a moussey texture that blends into the skin beautifully, and looks super natural. I've also been reaching for the Illamasqua Blush Duo in Lover and Hussy, which looks terrifying, but is utterly beautiful when applied with a light hand. Super pigmented, soft and long lasting, both shades just give the skin a glowy, subtle pop of colour.

I mentioned the Maybelline Master Sculpt Contour Kit in a haul recently, and the verdict's in. Whilst I really like this, it's soft and pigmented, easy to blend and super natural looking, I do think I should have gotten the darker shade, this light shade is possibly a little too subtle. That being said, it's great for days when you want a little face slimming, but not a full on chiseled jaw. I've been loving applying this with the eBay dupe of the Nars Yachiyo Kabuki Brush, it's perfect!

I've also been using that brush with the Makeup Forever HD Setting Powder, which is possibly the best powder I've ever used. Yes it's a loose powder, which is a bit of a faff, but oh my is it worth it. This stuff is so soft and finely milled, it glides onto the skin, mattifying any dewyness, without compromising on glow one little bit. It keeps my makeup in place and glowy all day long. 

For under the eyes (and down the bridge of the nose) I've been using my Rimmel Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer and Highlight, and I've fallen in love all over again. This stuff really brightens up the complexion and keeps me looking semi human. 

My MAC Quads have been pretty neglected recently, but I've recently cracked them out again, and I've fallen head over heels for the shade Mulch. It's a golden bronze shimmery shade that looks incredible just blended across the lid on it's own. Perfect one step summer smokey eye. I've also gotten back into using my Shu Umera Lash Curlers, and I forgot how much of a difference they make to how awake I look!

And lastly, I can't remember the last time I wore something other than the NARS X Christopher Kane Lipgloss in Mezmer on my lips. A gorgeous sheer neon pink, that I'll talk about more tomorrow!

I've also just posted my current non-beauty favourites over on my lifestyle blog, so make sure you head here and check those out too!
