5 Things Beauty Favourites.

I still haven’t found a way to incorporate my beauty favourites in to a regular feature – a feature I won’t get bored of anyway – but I thought I’d round up a few must haves from the past few weeks! There’s been a lot of obsessing happening over this lot, let me tell you…

Clarins Instant Smooth Self-Tanner, £19 – This is one of those products that I don’t think gets enough attention, it is beyond brilliant. It combines two of my all time favourite products (Clarins Instant Smooth primer and their Liquid Bronze face tanner) in one handy, no-fail bundle. I know a lot of people get scared of facial tanners, and I totally get that – but there’s no reason to fear this baby. For one, it’s almost impossible to go wrong with – the colour builds up over time, so you get a healthy glow for the first few applications. I tend to apply it every second and third day, for best results. Plus, it gives a lovely instant caramel hue to the skin and this does wonders for uneven tone and a lacklustre complexion.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation, £30 – I have been hunting for a new foundation for so long, and this Bobbi Brown base has been on my wishlist for a while. I finally took the plunge last month and haven’t looked back – it’s amazing. It’s quite a light fluid, and so it blends beautifully and covers everything from dark circles to spots, and even scarring. Skin looks perfected without any tell-tale signs that you’re wearing foundation, and it lasts so well throughout the day. It’s my current go-to foundation for sure.

Aurelia Revitalise & Glow Serum, £47 – I reviewed this in full earlier this week, but it’s one of those products I just have to rave about where possible! It’s just dreamy; the all-natural formula is instantly smoothing and has made such a noticeable difference to my complexion. My skin is currently looking the best it has in a long time – super radiant and oh so soft. It’s pricey, but well worth it if you’re in to natural skincare.

Fresh Body Lotion – This heavenly body lotion sits on my bedside table – mainly due to the flawless formula, but also because the packaging is beautiful. It’s easy to apply, sinks in instantly and leaves my skin feeling nourished and supple – and it smells delicious! I am completely in love with Fresh as a brand at the moment.

Benefit Brow Zings, £23.50 – I used to use Brow Zings years ago, and I’ve recently rediscovered just how great it is for creating the perfect brow – the Benefit girls used it on me after tinting and waxing my brows on a recent trip to the Brow Bar and I was sold all over again! I tend to only use the powder (rather than the powder and the wax), but I find it so easy to apply and the fact that it comes in three shades means there’s something for all. It blends out well and really defines my brows, and the whole process takes just minutes to master. A really great buy if you need a little help in the eyebrow department.

Have you tried any of these?
