5 Current Loves ☮

1// My first favourite is the Botanics BB cream. I am in love with this! It's a BB cream and has a lightweight formula, but it still manages to offer such great coverage that I can wear on an everyday basis. 

2// Also a Botanics product; the Skin Relief Serum. I have had this product once before and LOVED it, so when I saw it again I picked it up. It does relieve my skin from irritation as it has been very sensitive and dry lately, and it works amazingly under moisturiser. 

3// Elf bronzer in warm has been my go-to bronzer for a while now. It is a lovely warm tone that looks great with fresh makeup in the spring/summer. Also the £3.50 price tag helps too! 

4// The Sleek Pout Polish in Powder Pink, this is a tinted lip conditioner similar to something MAC came out with a while ago. It is also a bright pink colour that actually looks very pigmented and fresh on the lips. This is good too as it has SPF and it is a balm, but has the pigment of a lipstick!

5// Lastly is my new Revlon Lip Butter in Sorbet. Again I have been loving pink shades for spring and this is my new favourite as I love the lip butters formula and how easy they are. 

As you can tell I have been loving lightweight simple makeup with lots of fresh pinks and warm tones, perfect for spring!

Products I wont be repurchasing #1

1// No7 Colour calming primer: Now this primer is bright green, to counteract any redness in your skin, HOWEVER, it is bright green and makes you look ashy no matter how much you apply. I use it on my very red days, but it such hard work I probably will not be repurchasing. 

2// Rimmel Colour Mousse: I have had this in my collection for too long, and I never ever use it. I honestly do not understand the product, it's a wet mousse that makes your eyelids feel wet? Anyway, I have used it, and the staying power once it's set is intense, but I probably will not repurchase. 

3// Collection Cream Puff lip cream: This product has a strange texture, it's almost velvet. It lasts a super long time, but along with the off pink colour and the drying texture, I don't think I will pick up another one. 

4// Nars lipgloss in Turkish Delight: This again is an oldie in my collection, and to be honest I never wear it. The colour is stunning, a lovely milky pink, but on me it looks very strange! I just cannot get it to look right, so I do not think I will buy it again. (Especially as it's not cheap!) 

5// Lastly the Barry M lip gloss: This is something that I was looking forward to trying as I love the nude version of this lip-gloss, but again this colour just looks strange on me, and also it has a much slicker formula so it has poor longevity. 

I know this is a negative Nancy post, but it's good to keep things balanced!

2// Laura Mercier Mineral powder foundation

Most used brushes ♥

1// A stippling brush from Superdrug, this brush is used for blush/highlighter and is so old! I am in need of a new one, any recommendations?

2// Real Techniques blush brush, this I use for my bronzer. It's so soft, and makes the whole process really easy. 

3// Real Techniques buffing brush. I use this for my base products and it's amazing! It works really well for blending product in quickly.

4// Real Techniques contour brush, I use this for my concealer, it fits around the eye area really well. 

5// A no name brand spooly? brush, I use this to brush out my brows and keep them neat.

6// A Spoilt Rotten angled eyebrow brush, I use this to fill in my eyebrows with powder. 

First impressions: Botanics BB cream

Yesterday I picked up the BB cream from Botanics as I am currently looking for a more light weight alternative to my Revlon colour-stay. This product was only £6 (on sale from £9) so in my opinion rather reasonable. 

I put this on today for a test run, and so far I am actually very impressed. It surprisingly gave a good coverage (in the picture I only have under-eye concealer), and is very lightweight feeling without any tacky residue like most BB creams. 

The colour is light, and indeed is a perfect match for my skin tone, but it is very light, so pick a colour carefully. In real life you cannot see the makeup on my skin , it's practically invisible. 

I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone searching for a more lightweight easy foundation that is nice for 'good skin' days!
