I noticed that I've been using the same products recently. I haven't had the inclination to try out new things, or reach for something different from my collection each day. I think I'm at that stage where, truthfully, make up is boring me. I just want a quick, simple routine in the mornings that makes me look half-decent, and I think the following products certainly help!
MAC 'Virgin Isle' Cream Colour Base
MAC 'Virgin Isle' Cream Colour Base
I have been after this for such a long time, but it was discontinued. MAC re-released it with one of their collections (I'm not sure which) and I missed out again, so when I saw a brand new, unused one in a blogsale for £10, I snapped it up quickly. When I opened it, I was a bit alarmed as it looked like a neon, orange toned coral that I would look ridiculous wearing. Thankfully, when I swatched it, I could see that it was a beautiful, pink toned coral, and despite it's vibrancy, it blends like a dream and adds a gorgeous flush to my cheeks. Swoon. I heart it.
Revlon 'Peach Petal' Lipgloss
I've featured this on previous 'favourite' posts, but I can't feature Virgin Isle without featuring this, as the two together make a beautiful, glossy, milky coral lip colour that I just adore. I love mixing these two as I can custom-create my shade. I prefer it when I've used bronzer as I can afford to be more vibrant, but even without it, I can create the right shade to compliment my skintone. I feel really pretty with this lip colour, defined eyes, and messy, wavy hair fixed with daisy flowers. Love, love, love.
MAC 'Shy Girl' Lipstick
Another lip product, I know, but another one I've been desperate to get my mitts on. I really love the creamsheen lipsticks and this is no exception. It is a creamy, nude lipstick with a coral tint to it, so it is a welcome change from my usual brown-toned or pink-toned nudes. Plus, being creamsheen formula, it has a slightly glossy finish. So pretty, and looks wonderful with a flick of eyeliner and Virgin Isle-tinted cheeks.
Skin Wisdom Instant Beauty Balm
I used to swear by this stuff, but stopped using it for one reason or another. Reading through some old blogposts recently, particularly this one, reminded me about it and how much I liked it. Of course, I couldn't do my weekly shop in Tesco without picking one up, and I've used it everyday since. The packaging is different but it is the same brightening, fruity formula that creates the illusion of a full night's rest.
Andrew Collinge Purity Hydrating Conditioner
When it comes to haircare, I'm a John Frieda girl through and through, but I saw this on offer recently and got tempted away. It contains coconut milk and manuka honey, so smells amazing, and is such a lovely, nourishing conditioner. I'm not using the corresponding shampoo (though the shampoo is still from the Andrew Collinge Purity range) but I will definitely be picking it up next time I'm stocking up because I think it will have an even better impact on my hair. Back to the conditioner... it makes my hair really soft and manageable, and I feel it does a great job of conditioning my recently bleached and frazzled ombred ends.
Connock London Kukui Oil Comforting Body Wash
I received this as a PR sample a couple of months ago and have honestly used it every single day since - and I still have a ton left! It smells comforting (strange that, being a comforting shower gel...) in a musky sort of way. It's not zingy enough to wake me up but it does smother me in scents that make me feel good, which is equally important in the mornings. Plus I feel all soft once I step out of the shower. I really, really like this shower gel.
