Here are the products that I've been loving this month...
Bobbi Brown
I really needed to get some new brushes and decided to try a new brand and invest in Bobbi Brown. I wanted brushes that were going to be versatile so picked four from the range that I thought I would get most use out of.
Sheer Powder brush £30
This brush I have so far been using for highlight and contouring. It is fairly compact so perfect for dusting a little highlight on the cheekbones and sweeping through the hollows of the cheeks to contour.
Eye Blender £25.50
I normally use MAC's 217 to blend eyeshadow but find the bristles are quite course. The bristles on this are a lot softer and so nicer to use, particularly on clients. It is also perfect for dusting highlight down the bridge of the nose and cupids bow.
Touch up £24.50
This brush is designed to 'touch up' foundation or concealer but is also great for blending shadow under the eyes.
Eye Smudge £24.50
Bobbi's 'eye smudge' brush is perfect for blending shadow through the eye socket and also under the eye area.
Maybelline Gel Eyeliner £7.99
I have recently started using this again and find it much easier to use than liquid liner. It comes with a brush but I use my own fine angled brush with it. If you use MAC's gel liner but find it dries up far too quickly then this is a great alternative.
L'Oreal Paris 'Color Riche' lipstick in 'Julianne's Red' £6.99
I love L'Oreal's Colour Riche lipsticks. They are completely matt, highly pigmented and long lasting, which is amazing for only £6.99. They are available in various shades of Red and Nude's. Julianne's red is a beautiful bright red and more importantly is great for redheads which is why I picked it. I paired it with MAC's lipliner in 'Cherry'
Dior Diorific High Fashion Lipstick in 'Delicate Shock' £27.50
I adopted this lippy from my Auntie and absolutely love it. I've been trying to wear more nude lipsticks but sometimes struggle to find the perfect shade. I have been loving this as it still carries a bit of colour without being too washed out. It consists of two tones, One being a lovely creamy matt and the other a pretty gold shimmer. I paired it with MAC's lip liner in 'Spice'.
