For this
week of the #BOBBlogChallenge, we were given the title Make-Up Must Haves. I
have so many of these that I couldn’t possibly write about all of them so I chose
4 that I would consider my main must haves anyway.
First thing I
think every woman should have is make-up brushes. I mainly use Real-Technique
Brushes which I have to say are excellent.
The reason I say this is because
using your hands to put on your make up can help the spread of bacteria and can
cause skin problems. Using brushes can help reduce the amount you need to touch
your face which can help keep your skin clean and fresh. As long as you keep
your make up brushes clean as well of course.
Other than
putting my moisturizer on my face, I don’t touch my face at al when applying my
make-up. I have found the real technique brushes are brilliant as when I first
got them, I didn’t know much about what each brush was for. I learned a lot
from friends just showing me but also from youtube as Real Technique also have
a youtube page you can click onto to learn about each brush and other handy
tricks for applying your make-up.
You can see their Youtube HERE
My next
makeup must have is Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation.
This is a new
foundation I have been trying out the last few weeks and have found it to be a
great product for my face. I have had a bit of a problem lately because of
spots on my chin and this foundation has provided a great cover for these while
helping my skin to look natural. Another thing I love about this foundation is
that you need so little of it to cover your face as well. I have often put out
a blob of it on the back of my hand and found it to be too much, thankfully
recently I have gotten more used to it and know how much to put out so I don’t waste
any. J This
is great though because you really get your money’s worth.
Concealer is
such a useful product and recently I have been using the
Urban Decay 24/7
Concealer Pencil.
When I first bought this and brought it home, I was happy
with it but quickly realised it didn’t fit into any of my pencil toppers at
home. So I went back into the shop the next day and bought an Urban Decay Pencil
Topper. Even though I was a bit disappointed by this I quickly got over it as
the concealer is brilliant and the pencil topper will last me a long time and
is handy to have for just make up products. This concealer pencil provides
great cover and I know I will buy this again when the one I have runs out.
Absolutely love it.
Last but
certainly not least I have chosen Mac Lipstick, as my final make-up must
have.
I don’t think I really even need to explain this one….the mac products
are just fantastic. I have 2 of their lipsticks, one a nice neutrally pink and
then a nice bright red shade. Since I have gotten these I haven’t used any
other lipstick. I just want to get more mac. The lipstick lasts for hours and doesn’t
need much topping up during the day. Even for me, because I am a smoker, I do
need to top it up a little bit but it would be more something I notice needs to
be done and others don’t. I recommend these lipsticks for anyone really. Go
into mac and choose a shade you like and try it out. You won’t be disappointed J
And that’s it
for this week’s #BOBBlogChallenge! I hope you enjoyed ready and I shall be back
with another post next week!
Stay
Beautiful
