Loreal Infalliable 18hr Foundation 30ml
In the beauty world I find that this foundation is not often raved about, I’m not sure if my skin just really agrees with the formula but I am in love!! It’s a nice and light weight liquid foundation with a medium to full coverage, I’m not sure about it lasting 18 hours but it does last for me all day when I am working, even on a hot day and it has never caused me to break out. I can use one pump to cover my face when using my fingers but if I use a brush I usually need two also it does have quite a dewy finish so I do like to set it with a powder, especially in summer. I have used this foundation for years and have numerous backups in my foundation drawer so I am sure I would be happy with this being my only foundation if my collection ceased to exist. (It has now come to my knowledge that this foundation may be discontinued as there is a new Loreal Infalliable 24HR foundation now on the market which I am yet to try)

Mac Pro longwear concealer in NW20 9ml $32 from MAC Australia
I have only been using this product for 6 months but it truly is amazing, it is one of the only concealers I have that does not crease. This concealer also doubles as an eye shadow primer as it is slightly tacky when not set with a powder, allowing the shadows to stick but still allowing easy blending and also neutralises any veins and discolouration on the eye lids. A little goes a long way with this product and it can be easily blended with fingertips alone, my only problems with it is with the pump It’s hard to control how much you get out as one pump is way too much so the only improvement would be a change in the packaging to something like a doe foot applicator, otherwise I think this will definitely go on to be my holy grail concealer.

Rimmel Stay Matte transparent powder 14g $12.95 from Priceline
This is my favourite setting powder, however less is definitely more as a quick sweep across the face sets my makeup beautifully, applying too much of this powder will lead to it looking slightly cakey. I always buy it in the shade transparent so I can wear it no matter how pale or tanned I am and the best thing is this is a drugstore product so it won’t hurt my bank account so much when it’s time to repurchase.

The Balm Frat Boy blush 8.5g $21 USD from The Balm
I absolutely LOVE this blush, I have been using it for almost a year and am yet to hit pan (however there is a considerable dint), that’s how generous The Balm is with the quantities of their blushes. This blush gives the skin a beautiful peachy-pink glow, and is super easy to blend and also build colour, in my opinion it’s the perfect every day blush.

MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skin Finish 10g $47 from MAC Australia
MAC’s Soft and Gentle MSF gives the skin a gorgeous but natural glow, it’s not too over the top pigmented (like The Balm’s Mary Lou Manizer which I reserve for special glowy and fancy occasions) so it can be worn as an everyday highlighter to give the skin some dimension and life. The colour of this highlighter is a very neutral vanilla shade with a pretty frosty sheen, suitable for most skin tones.

Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep 3g $22 from Benefit USA
This faily new product from benefit makes filling in my brows such a quick and easy job, the colour matches my brows perfectly, plus the small fibres in the gel fill in any gaps throughout my brows and sets them solid for the day. I am already on my second tube and this would definitely be one of the first products I would re-purchase if I had to say goodbye to all my makeup.
Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara 7.65g
This is definitely my holy grail mascara! It works so well for my lashes, it lengthens, separates, adds lots of volume and holds the curl of my lashes for the entire day! However I am a firm believer that mascara works differently for everyone, it all depends on many factors, such as how long your lashes are, how many you have, the shape of your natural lash curl and even your eye shape. I do think this is an amazing mascara and if you haven’t already tried it I would recommend getting your hands on it and hopefully you will find your holy grail mascara too.
Stila In The Moment eye shadow palette $39 from Urban Outfitters
It may seem like an odd choice to not choose an all neutral palette with tonnes of shades and a handful of mattes but I really love this palette. I love metallic, shimmery shades and this palette is perfect for that because there is only one colour that doesn’t fit that criteria which is Desire (matte vanilla shade). I can create a few different looks with this palette; I could go with a neutral everyday eye, then have a neutral smoky eye by introducing Catalyst (black shade) into the outer v and also a pretty purple eye using the gorgeous purple shades in this palette. I love that this palette has a lot of purple because it’s one of the best colours to compliment my brown eyes, if you have brown eyes like I do I would definitely recommend giving this palette a go.

MAC angel lipstick 3g $36 from MAC Australia
MAC Angel is a yellow-toned light-medium pink with soft silver micro-shimmer which has categorized this lipstick as a Frost finish, I love it for everyday wear and it will go with almost any makeup look as it is such a simple but pretty pink shade.
