My Top 10 Beauty Products

Hey guys! I've been so busy this week and itching to write a blog post but not having any time to do it has killed me. I'm also super excited as i'm getting my blog designed by the lovely Sarah www.sarahsmilesxxx.co.uk (check her out!).


My holiday is coming up fast and I've been trying to decide what products to take along with me. Whilst having a rummage I was like "well shit, I don't think I could live without some of these".
So me being me, I devised a list of my Top 10 beauty products of current. Enjoy!



1. Body Shop Body Butter in Raspberry

I'm pretty sure everyone has once owned or currently have a Body Shop body butter, and who can blame them cause they're in my opinion the best body butter out there. I have really dry and sensitive skin and these never irritate me. The Raspberry one has come to be my favourite scent as its so good! I'm rubbish at describing smells but this one smells like raspberry fromage frais. Yummy.
I'm not sure if they sell it anymore as I bought it just before Christmas but I 100% recommend these butters for soft, amazing smelling skin. They also last for such a long time as you really don't need to use a lot.

2. The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter

This stuff is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. It smells good, it takes all of your makeup of clean and leaves your skin feeling so soft. It comes in a solid form but it seems to melt at skin temperature so when you rub it in it goes to an oily consistency and swoops all of your makeup off. Wipe it away with a flannel with warm water and boom, your skin is clean. I really would recommend this product to anyone. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to wiping my makeup off at night and even this isn't too much effort for me to handle. It's only £12 and it lasts ages. I use this pretty much every day and you can see by the picture below its barely made a dent in it. Try it out guys!

3. Lush Tea Tree Toner Water

 This stuff was sent from the Gods. Whenever I have a breakout this is the first thing I will grab. It brightens up any dull skin and will get rid of spots at the same time. I just spray my face with this after a shower and it will keep my skin looking alive, which can only be a good thing. I get the 100g bottle and it lasts me for around 8 weeks give or take. It's only £4.25 so not much more than what you'd pay for a toner in Boots or something. Lush have got lots of other tea tree products which I will be checking out next time I'm in store.

4. Lush Catastrophe Cosmetic Fresh Face Mask

Whilst i'm on a skin care roll I thought i'd go on with this bad boy. This in my opinion is the best Lush face mask. It clears my skin so good its hard to try anything else now as this works so good on my skin. It smells like blueberries and has a blue tinge to it so you do look a bit smurf-esque when you wear it. The only problem is that its always the one that's sold out in store so it seems that lots of people share my opinion on this product. What I love about Lush products is that they are all made naturally and have fresh ingredients and you can really tell the difference between these and the ones that come in a sachet! Also you get a free mask when you re-cycle these pots in store when you collect 5. It's such a good idea. It is priced at £6.50 for 75g which I think its definitely worth the money. 

                                      

5. Mac Matte Lipstick in "Velvet Teddy"

It was really hard for me to pick a favourite lipstick but this one at the moment wins it for me. I waited sooo long (okay about a month) for this product to be back in stock. When I got an email from Mac telling me it was back in stock I bought it straight away.It's such a gorgeous neutral shade and goes so well with many makeup looks. Mac lipsticks stay on so well and they're worth the money if you love good lipsticks. The last time I checked it was out of stock again but keep an eye out for this beauty! 

6. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 107

Okay, I know I said that Velvet Teddy was my favourite lipstick but as I was sorting through I found 4 empty tubes of this lipstick. I didn't know I has used that many and I should have just binned them. I guess it says that I use this lipstick ALOT. Its my go to red lipstick and it stays on really well. I get lots of compliments when I wear this (oo-er). Its so cheap, I think its around the £4 mark in Boots but once again its normally the shade that they have sold out of. I don't own any of the other lipsticks in the Kate Moss range but I think i'm going to have a ganders when i'm next shopping. 

7. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

I've not had this palette for long but I went with hype and bought it and my God, i'm in love with it. It is such a beautiful palette and I get excited in the morning that I can use it. It is a pricey buy as its £37 at most retailers but it should last a long time and i'm really impressed so far with the results. Even the brush that comes with it is of great quality and its really soft. The eye shadows are really pigmented and stay on for a long time. I think that half baked is the new love of my life.

I also purchased the Naked 3 palette that has more pink shades in it and is also beautiful but I feel myself going to this palette more for the taupe shades. Recommend!!

 Ooooh so pretty

8. Aussie Miracle Recharge Moisture Spray 

Aussie products are the best. I use the miracle moisture shampoo and conditioner along side with this spray. This spray is so good when you're on holiday for when you come out the sea and the pool to stop your hair getting super crispy. I will be taking a bottle of this to Florida. It smells so good, almost like sweets. Next time you see this just give it a smell and see for yourself! I normally pick up Aussie products when they're on offer for 3 for £10 but normally they range at around £3.50. 

As I have long hair keeps it nourished and full of moisture so if you have long hair and struggle with dry ends this could be the remedy you need.

                                                                  

9. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in "Ivory"

I recently had to change concealer as the one I used before made my skin super dry so I needed a quick fix. I picked up Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer after I watched one of Tanya Burr's videos and thought i'd give it a go. Woah, what a good decision. Its a really light concealer and covers up any redness an under eye problems (my under eyes are so dark some mornings I look like I have been punched in the face). Its really cheap, I think I picked it up for around £5? Boots had a 3 for 2 offer so it worked out really good value. I'm on my second tube now and probably will stay using this product for a while now. 

10. Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream EDT 50ml

I got this for Christmas from my lovely boyfriend and considering I asked for Jimmy Choo, I was surprised when I opened this. I used to wear Daisy a few years ago and went off it but Daisy Dream is so fresh and sweet. Firstly the packaging and bottle is so gorgeous and I absolutely love the daisies around the bottle. Secondly, the scent lasts all day and you rarely need to top up. So many people have complimented this perfume. Boy did good. 

As it was a present i'm not sure how much it was but online it varies around the £40 mark which is pretty standard for a Marc Jacobs perfume. I think I might just pick up another bottle of this from Duty Free!

So there are my Top 10 favourite beauty products at the moment. I hope that you enjoyed this post and will go an try some of these products and please let me know what you think! Or if you have any good alternatives for any of the products mentioned then again please let me know in the comments!
