I\u2019m partial to a matte blush now and again, especially as you can add your own highlighter if you fancy it. This gives the perfect \u201crosy\u201d blush, which is buildable so looks good on fair skin or tanned. Probably my \u201cgo to\u201d blush at the moment.<\/li><li><strong>Viktor &amp; Rolf Eau Mega perfume;<\/strong> Overshadowed by it\u2019s older brother \u201cFlowerbomb\u201d (which I also have), this perfume just doesn\u2019t get the recognition it deserves! It\u2019s like nothing else I\u2019ve ever smelt, which is why I love it. I hate going out in the typical branded perfumes, I like something a bit different. This is floral and fresh, and really does smell so nice. I\u2019d say it\u2019s a bit heavier than Flowerbomb, so definitely a good Autumn perfume if you enjoy something fairly light and refreshing.<\/li><li><strong>MAC Matte Gel;<\/strong> I\u2019ve had this for a while and only recently started taking it seriously. I rarely use primers, even though I have quite a collection, as I feel they don\u2019t help my oily\/combination skin type. I spread a bit of this mattifying gel on the t-zone (after a very honest girl I know told me I was a bit shiny round the ol\u2019 forehead, thanks pal\u2026!) to help combat any shine I get throughout the day. It also works as a really great primer, it gives such a smooth feel to the skin!<\/li><li><strong>MAC Studio Fix Fluid;<\/strong> I stopped using this for so long and have recently come back to it. I think it is one of my favourite foundations, it\u2019s really versatile and loved by so many! A great foundation whatever your skin type\/coverage you prefer.<\/li><li><strong>Alterna Caviar Hair Rapid Repair Spray;<\/strong> This came in the first Glossybox and has to be one of my favourite products. I dropped it on the floor once and it cracked, I sobbed and then promptly wrapped it in tape. Problemo solved, although it does look a little unsightly. I spray this on wet hair pre-blowdry, it smells incredible \u2013 I\u2019d quite like to wear it as perfume. On days when I use this, I literally cannot stop touching the ends of my hair! It makes hair so soft and glossy!<\/li><li><strong>Too Faced Natural Eye Palette;<\/strong> Another forgotten favourite. This was found tucked away in my drawer, and I love the matte colours in the \u2018day\u2019 eyeshadows, all of the shades are so easy to wear, are very pigmented and all blend so well together. I think I prefer this to my UD Naked palette just because the colours are a lot more wearable.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you haven\u2019t already seen, I\u2019ve done a guest post on Sofias blog with my beauty favourites!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAC Bite of An Apple Blush, Viktor &amp; Rolf Eau Mega pefume, MAC Matte Gel,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1517,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226\/revisions\/1517"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uscgnews.com\/go\/doc\/4007\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
