I’m looking forward to blogging a bit more about my makeup on Cuteek as sometimes I don’t really know what to write about.
This week I’m going to show you some beauty faves: the makeup item I can’t live without, the most overhyped makeup item I own and my favourite perfume.
the makeup item I can’t live without is…
Looks like i will be revealing some beauty secrets here! I love the natural makeup look for Summer, but if I’m honest, I really dislike wearing any makeup in the daytime if I don’t have to. Night time is different, if I don’t have makeup on when the sun goes down I tend to look like a zombie on a bad day.
I’m going to reveal 2 makeup products that I cannot live without. Even when I’m not wearing lots of makeup, these are ESSENTIAL to my daily skincare routine and I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her to use them everyday to avoid the terrible sun damage I have from not using them. Yes, I’m talking about facial sunscreen!
The first is just a supermarket sunscreen, but what I love about it is that it has a milky texture and doesn’t go on as white as other sunscreens. Although the bottle is only small, it tends to last me a good few months and only costs around 5€. It’s specially formulated for the face and is SPF50 which is perfect for me. I use it on it’s own when I can’t be bothered wearing makeup, or underneath and then I dust a bit of bronzer and concealer on top.
I recently discovered a new BB cream with SPF50 by Garnier. I whooped for joy when I started seeing tv adverts and facebook ads with this product, it’s just what I needed! A little bit of colour and blemish cover up with factor 50 and lovely coverage, especially when I feel like going barefaced at the pool or beach. I picked this up at my local supermarket and it was about 11€ but a little product goes a long way, if you are in the UK you will probably be able to find it in Boots.com or superdrug.
the most overhyped makeup item I own is…
Nearly every makeup company has a version of this chubby lipbalm crayon but my favourite purse-friendly makeup brand MUA brought out their own version for just 3€! I wrote all about it here in this post ‘MUA Cosmetics Power Pout’. The shade I have is called ‘Brokenhearted’ and is the perfect colour for me, I even wear it to bed as it’s so hydrating!
my favourite perfume is…
I usually go for more lemon or citrus smelling perfumes such as DKNY or CK Summer but my other half (OH) bought me this lovely Scarlett By Cacharel
I think perfume can be overpowering in the Summer, so I tend to just use deodorant and Soap and Glory body lotion for a light scent, but this is my current fave.
This turned into such a long post but I hope you join in with the Beauty Scavenger Hunt too and let me know in the comments below, which makeup item you can’t live without?
