My Current Favourites


Quite a few MAC products, sorry, i've been stocking up lately! 

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural - Light

My new favourite face powder. Mineral make-up in pressed form, this is great for people who prefer a sheer coverage while still evening out skin for a pretty flawless look. On my 'lazy days' I like to wear this on it's own, although it also works great over my liquid foundation.

MAC Sheertone Shimmer blush - Springsheen

Gorgeous peachy pink blush with fine shimmer, this gives a gentle glowy effect to cheeks and I find I don't have to highlight when I use this. Looks good on my pale skin! Thanks to my sister for buying me this :)

MAC Prep + Prime Finishing Powder
Love this for finishing off my make-up, controls any excess shine and helps foundation last longer throughout the day. I like to apply this with a powder puff, and only use a relatively small amount for my whole face.

MAC Fluidline - Blacktrack // Paint Pot - Bare Study

I use Blacktrack fluidline on my waterline. It is smudge resistant and lasts so much longer than other eyeliners i've tried for my waterline. Especially someone like me who has very 'watery eyes'...
I love Bare Study paint pot as i'm a lover of neutral eye shadows. This light shimmery champagne colour just adds a little more shimmer to the look but I find it to be the best primer ever! My shadow doesn't budge with this underneath. LOVE.

MAC Viva Glam V Lipstick // ELF Plumping Lip Glaze - Baby Doll // Lanolips Lemonaid Lip Aid

Viva Glam V, My go to lipstick.  A muted rosy colour, it is basically 'my lips but better'. Can use it without looking in a mirror, always a bonus! A lovely natural lipstick I would recommend to everyone.
I am a big fan of the ELF Plumping Lip Glaze's. 100%, they DON'T plump your lips, however I do love tingly minty lipglosses which is exactly what the clear side provides, while the other gloss is applied after to add the colour. I also have this in Fire Coral and Ruby Kiss.
I use the Lanolips Lemondaid Lip Aid as a lip treatment, obviously. Being a sufferer of constant dry lips I am always on the lookout for new lipbalms. This one smells exactly like lemonade ice lollies, reminds me of my childhood, so divine! Works great for my lip dryness too ;)

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara
I have short stumpy eyelashes, this mascara is great for adding length and really separating my lashes, giving them a fuller look. One of the best cheaper mascara's i've tried.

Collection 2000 Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner
I use this on my upper lash line for winging out my eyeliner. One of the few pen form liquid liners that I don't find drying. Makes the liquid liner process so much easier.

NYX Eyebrow Shaper
Exactly what it says on the tin, shapes my eyebrows and holds the hairs in place all day :) 

Are you a fan of any of these products? What are your favourites?
Love Claire :)

  9. everyone clearly has good taste ;) hehe xx

    @Vivian: it doesn't hold the curl too long for me, however i think that might be because i have rubbish lashes, they never do what i want them to! this mascara is only like 4 quid though, so worth a shot!

  12. MAC cosmetics are my favourite, and I have to admit, that, even if I don't use much makeup, most of my blushes are MAC. I love the colours they have, and this pink is great!!

  14. I've been lusting after Springsheen but I think it looks very similar to my mark. Good Glow Blush in After Glo...

    I'm glad the Sexy Curves mascara worked for you, I absolutely hated the brush and gave it away after only two tries!
