Products Worth The Hype
After yesterday's downer post about products I regret buying, I thought I would hype up some of my favourite products. I chose 5, because I did not want this to go on forever. I could have chosen many more, but these are some of the products a lot of bloggers/youtubers love, that I have loved too...
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - £13
I don't have brilliant skin. I made it my new years resolution to remove all make up every night and have a proper skin care routine. Whilst I don't have the most complicated or high end routine, I have for once stuck to a NY resolution! WOO! Part of my routine is the effaclar duo, which has helped so much. This really is incredible. I just put it on my chin at night and before I do my make up in the morning, as my chin is my problem area. My scarring from spots has died down, and I now get the odd sore spot, but nothing near like my skin used to be. I have had compliments from friends commenting on how much better it looks. I put this entirely down to this incredible product.
Soap and Glory Breakfast Scrub - £8
A while ago, Essie Button included this in her favourite, and a snip of her eating it out of the fridge. From then on, everytime I was in boots i would smell this. A few months ago, I finally bought it and OMG its the best smell you can ever smell. Its like honey and sugar and yum. And it leaves you with lovely soft yummy smelling skin :)
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation - £33
I had wanted this for a while when I finally bought it. In MAC I was colour matched to an NW15. That was still slightly too dark for me. But I have found that the lightest LM shade, soft ivory, is the first foundation I have tried that is actually my colour. It looks gorgeous, you get a nice glow in the right places, without looking sweaty. It stays put pretty much all day, I just powder my chin and forehead maybe once during the day. It is however, very expensive, at £33 :(
MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skin Finish - £22
I just realized how expensive this was! Oh dear! But it really is worth it. Louise (Sprinkle of Glitter) LOVES this, therefore i came to the conclusion I
would too. And I do. I use it everyday, and have even discovered it works nicely as an eye shadow, which saves a bit of space in your make up bag.
MAC Paint Pot - Bare Study & Eclair - £15
These are beautiful both as an eye shadow base and on their own. I wear one of them pretty much every day, and I love how they make eye shadow last so much longer, and look so much more intense. I have reasonably oily eye lids, so some sort of base to my eye shadow is a must, and these ones are definitely the best I have tried.
I hope this post has helped you guys. I don't want to be an enabler, but if you are umming and ahhing over one of these products, just do it. ;)

It was lovely reading this :D I was just in the middle of writing a review for the Effaclat duo hehe. It's great that it worked for you though because i find that it didn't really do much for my skin~ booo. Oh well :D I need to try the silk creme foundation too from LM~ heard great things about it. What skin-type do you have? because i have oily skin so i'm not too sure if it is suitable~
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing~ <3

Thankyou! I love effaclar duo! i think youre the first person i've heard that didnt enjoy it! My skin is pretty crazy, i have an oily t zone, and can get dry patches around my nose. I think as long as you powder any oily areas, silk creme gives a really nice glowy finish :) hope this helps :)
