original:flickrI find these kind of blog posts really interesting, as it gives a kind of mini-review on things, so if theres anything in your make up box that is great and value for money then leave a comment about it! :)
no7 stay perfect foundation:this is available in boots and is priced at around £11, and for the money i would give it a 9/10. it really does stay perfect all day, i wouldnt say all day AND night, but its not too much trouble to take off and re-apply for night time. It gives a quite nice coverage, need to rub in as its abit yellowy sometimes, covers over blemishes also.
make-believe bronzer:£10 in most places. i LOVE this bronzer as not only can you use it as an night browny eyeshadow, but it gives about 10 colours and with a brush it gives a nice glow that isn't orange at all and defines cheeks without looking too overdone.
eyeko eyeshadows:3 pots of dark, light and browns are available, i have all three as it gives me 15 colours to choose from and they are so lovely. They also last quite a long time.
dream-matte foundation:This is not that expensive, it lasts for ages, and it easy to apply, although a little annoying. Nevertheless it's nice to put on top of foundation to great a matte finish that lasts quite long.
maybelline pen liquid eyelyner:i thought this wasnt that good, as i was after the max factor pen eyelyner that came out [which i dont get on with at all] and this is a million times better. it has a much stronger tip which doesnt bend and provides a nice black precide line over the eyes, and easy to manouver to achieve flicks.
maybelline define-a-lash mascara:the name sounds a bit silly, although this is also the best branded mascara i have used, i'm not normally a fan of maybelline, although this really does define lashes without clumps and makes them quite long without looking stupid, worth the money.
boujouis ultra-black eyelyner:this is amazing, it lasts long, provides amazing darkness to eyes, and is definatley an essential to any make up kit!
revlon brown eyeshadow pencil:mines is so old but works so well. the only thing is to make sure its sharp to provide a good definition of eyebrows, even comes with a nice handy brush on the end.
moisturiser: i got a free
clinque one a few months ago, its called something like
'dramatically different moisturiser' and is amazing, i think its about £10 normally, and definatley worth the money. Another good moisturiser is a
no7 one, which i have forgotton the name of, but its pink and i think its for dry skin, but i'm sure all skin types can use it, [perhaps not oily as it could cause more oil as its made for dry skin], and is about the same price as the clinque one. I have very dry skin in general, and cannot apply make up without it, so i rely on good moisturisers.
any one else got any good tips?
