Five Products I'm Using A Lot!

I posted on twitter a couple of days ago, asking what I should blog about. Happy1234 suggested a top 5 of my most used products of right now. Since I seem to have given up doing a monthly favourites video (does anyone want me to start on those again?), I thought that was a pretty neat idea for a post.



-ELF Mineral Infused Primer - I've been testing this one out for reviewing and I'm really impressed with it. A really good primer if you're on a budget. Works well for helping my foundation to last. I'll certainly continue using this until it's empty and will probably repurchase.
-ELF Studio Under Eye Concealer "Glow/Light" - Admittedly, I've barely touched the highlighter shade! But the concealer side seems to be just the right tone of yellowy peach to counteract my dark circles. I've been using this pretty much constantly and there is still a huge amount left in the tube. I will get round to reviewing this! (PR sample for review)
-Bourjois Smokey Eye Brush - This one was a surprise for me. Bought on a whim (Sophie made me!) from Superdrug, this brush has become an absolute staple for smudging out my lower liner. I think this was only around £5.00 as well so it's a bargain!
-MAC Eye Shadow "Jete" - A limited edition from ages ago. It doesn't have nearly enough pigmentation for a lid shade so I've been using it as a highlighter. Works nicely to add some sheen to my brow bone without being frosty like "Nylon" can be.
-Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner "Black Plum Ink" - I definitely prefer Bobbi Brown's gel liners to MAC's. This is an interesting shade, not quite purple and not quite black. I use it a lot when black is too harsh and I need something a little softer. This one has great pigmentation and is very easy to apply.

  2. Hello Becky,

    De-lurking here :)
    Do you think the Mineral primer would be a match for UDPP?

    Thanks!

  3. @Happy1234 - I'm glad you like it :)

    @Erline - I prefer the UDPP, the ELF mineral primer doesn't seem to work as well for me.

  6. @Jade - I do like both, but Bobbi Brown just are a little better!

    @Discombobulatedd - Definitely worth trying the primer and the liners :)

  7. Ooooh after reading this I just realised that I have that Bobbi Brown liner, in that shade and I have no idea where I stashed it! Thank you for reminding me ;o)
