L is for Lip Balm...

Well, my favourite ever is Carmex!! I actually have withdrawal symptoms if I lose it or it runs out before I get chance to replace it! My best friend introduced me to carmex a few years back, she used the little pot, and I prefer the tube as I find it looks more like a gloss. I have pretty much gone through every lip balm on the market to see which best suited me. My back up has got to be Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lip Therapy; I used this for years before I found carmex! The Crème Brule limited edition one was also a hit, I actually wish they would bring it back! 

I have never been a fan of chap sticks but I think they are great for guys who want to look after their lips but don't really want to appear to be doing so!! I know my dad likes to use the Nivea Lip Care Essential Stick, it’s actually nice and soft but I find it comes on a little too thick. 

My big brother uses Chapstick Original which is perfect for him apart from he loses it in his big pockets! But it’s got a nice smell and goes on thinly so it’s not as obvious you're wearing it, nothing worse than a guy looking like his gloss is glossier than yours!! Here's my brother below 'happily' posing for a picture for me to put on here lol

What’s your perfect lip care??

What's on my face?

Okay so here is a little post about what goes on my face to enhance my ‘beauty sleep’! Before bed I dab a little bit of Rénergie Yeux Multi Lift eye cream, I may be 21 but I figure you can never start too soon with eye cream!! And I’ve got to say this is the nicest one I have ever used! It glides over your eyes and it just makes your skin so soft, I obviously don’t have any wrinkles etc. to lift but, for general use I love it. To take my makeup off I use the Bi Facial Cleanser which is also great, it does leave my skin a little oily but once I top it with a little Tonique Douceur it balances out! In the morning I start with Galatéis Douceur lotion to base what follows, it’s a nice smelling lotion and doesn't leave my skin sticky!

Lancôme Products; Rénergie Yeux Multi Lift eye cream £48, BiFacial Cleanser £21, Tonique Douceur £22.50, Galatéis Douceur lotion £23.

I follow this with a little Rimmel Hide the Blemish concealer to cover those dark patches and any unwanted spots! A foundation that works well with your skin and tone is key to your morning regime, mines Rimmel Match Perfection (103) topped with Rimmel Stay Matte (transparent) powder to soften it. Bronze it up with Rimmel Natural Bronzer (Sun Bronze) which I like as it’s not packed with glitter (I’m a glitter lover, but there is a time and a place, and it’s not on my face every day), I finish the base with a hint of Rimmel Long Lasting Blush (pink rose) on my cheeks! Then to the detail…I trace my eyebrows on with No7 Beautiful Eyebrow it has to be this shade as I'm blonde, I think I'd look terrible with dark caterpillar eyebrows!!

Rimmel Products; Hide the Blemish concealer £4.49, Match PerfectionFoundation £6.99, Stay Matte powder £3.99, Natural Bronzer £5.99, Long Lasting Blush £3.99

If I’m going out I use pencil eyeliner to define my eyes a bit more, if I’m not I don’t! Then on comes the shadow, I use a French Connection eye shadow collection. I top my under brow with a pale gold shimmer then base the lid with a light brown and just edge that with a darker brown. I finish my eyes with Maybelline the Colossal Volume Express mascara and on my lips, cherry Carmex of course!! Sometimes I top it with a bit of lippy but to be honest I just love my lip balm too much to ever part with it!!

French Connection Eye Shadows £12, No7 Beautiful Eyebrow £6.50, Maybelline Mascara £7.99, 

Carmex £2.89
