Products worth the hype | Mini reviews

Real Techniques Brushes - These brushes feel like everything i've ever been looking for when it comes to makeup application. They're super soft, leave no brush strokes on the face, don't malt and leave skin looking pretty much flawless. Single brushes retail at around the £10 mark which is a bargain when compared to the price of brushes from brands such as MAC when the quality is just as good. 

MAC Lipsticks - Perhaps the product that MAC is most famous for, the brands lipsticks come head and shoulders above any others i've tried. Depending on the finish these lipsticks do not budge and I rarely find myself having to top up throughout the day. Albeit slightly pricey (they retail at £15 now) I believe that they are definitely worth the money and their shade range is unbeatable. 

Esteé Lauder Double Wear Foundation - My number 1 holy grail makeup product and the one that I think I will repurchase until the day I die. The coverage is thick and heavy so if you usually opt for a light coverage foundation I would avoid this, however it will erase any imperfections and leave your skin looking flawless. A little product goes a long way and once on the skin it literally does not budge making it perfect for long days and nights out. Love it, cannot fault it and definitely worth every penny!

La-Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - A product that I only recently purchased but have already fallen in love with. The gel-based formula moisturizes into the skin seamlessly and leaves your skin feeling light and not caked in product. The skin is left feeling super smooth, and although I don't have 'severe imperfections' my skin is by no means perfect and I can already see improvements after only a few days. Heard this is also a great base for makeup and at only £13 is an absolute steal for a skincare product that actually works! 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Perhaps the most raved about concealer out there, Collection lasting perfection concealer is definitely worth the hype. The consistency is pretty thick and can look 'cakey' if you apply too much but covers any spots or dark circles pretty much flawlessly. One of my all time favourite drug store products and for someone who was never a big concealer wearer, this product has definitely converted me into using it daily. 

Hair Oils - One of my all time favourite hair products i've ever used is the healing oil treatment by Macadamia Hair. Macadamia oil (and all hair oils in general) leave the hair feeling conditioned and soft. If you're in two minds about splurging on a hair oil - they're not the cheapest of products - i'd say do it. All hair oils are worth the investment as they improve the condition of over-styled, coloured and dry and damaged hair brilliantly.
