Everyday heroes - the products that I can't live without

Being a beauty blogger (and a makeup addict!) means I use a lot of different products, and most of the time I'm not loyal to anything in particular. But there are a few things that I reach for on an almost daily basis because I know I can rely on them for making me look decent without too much effort. Oh and the title might be a slight exaggeration, I can live without them, but I choose not to.

These are my everyday heroes that I know I will repurchase when they run out.

 
Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation
I have 3 colours to match my skintone throughout the year. In summer I'm generally Sand Beige, in winter Classic Ivory. Right now I mix Classic Ivory and Nude to match my current going-into-spring skintone. This is my HG foundation, it's perfect for my dry skin, though those with oilier skins might find this too rich and creamy. Click HERE to see my previous review.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural
I use this to set my foundation every day. I have two colours to match my skintone throughout the year, Light Medium and Medium. This is perfect at giving a semi matte coverage that still looks natural and non-cakey.

Benefit Hoola Bronzer
I use this every single day to contour my face and give me cheekbones. It's the perfect matte non-orange bronzer. It might be too light for olive skinned beauties out there, but on my (usually) NC25 skintone it's perfect. Click HERE to see my previous review.

Illamasqua Lover and Tarte Dollface
Lover is possibly my favourite blush ever. It's very smooth, finely milled and extremely pigmented. The soft apricot colour is perfect at giving a natural warm glow to the face. Or if I prefer a pink look then Tarte Dollface is what I reach for. Link to previous posts about Lover HERE, and Dollface HERE.

Revlon Pink Pout and MAC Impassioned
My absolute all time favourite lippie is MAC Impassioned. It's the perfect bright watermelon pink that brightens the complexion instantly. I love this one so much that I'm stalking the MAC website at the moment and once they restock this I'll be purchasing back ups. And on those days when I'm feeling lazy and can't decide what to wear or am going for a more natural look I just pop on Pink Pout and I'm done.

MAC Satin Taupe and Phloof eyeshadows
Phloof is just a gorgeous colour to use on the browbone or inner corner of eyes. And Satin Taupe needs no introductions really, it's great worn on its own or in the crease of the eye. On super lazy days I wear ST all over the lid, with a bit of highlighting by Phloof and I'm done. (PS. I had to re-press my Satin Taupe as it fell and broke, hence the funny shape).

Jordana waterproof liner in Black
I don't use an eyeliner every day, as most days I prefer to smudge dark brown or black eyeshadow in my lashline. But on the days that I do use an eyeliner this is what I reach for. It's the only pencil liner that stays in my waterline without smudging.

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara
When I first bought this I didn't really like it, it just didn't give me the volume I wanted (I want mega huge drag queen lashes!). But after leaving it for a few days to dry up a bit, this is perfect for giving those gigantic lashes that I love. I always get asked if I'm wearing falsies when I wear this.

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil and Inglot eyeshadow (used on brows)
Ah yes, lets not forget the brows. I use this Rimmel pencil every day to fill in my brows, and then I go over it with the matte Inglot eyeshadow #363 to make it look more natural and less drawn on.
