Top 5 At 5: Favourite Beauty Products

The Urban Decay Naked Palette is the super multitasking palette as there are so many different looks that can be made using the shades, from a deep dark smokey eye to a glamorous daytime look. 
Urban Decay Naked Palette

WHAT URBAN DECAY SAY: "THIS is how Urban Decay does neutral! Far from boring, Urban Decay's Naked Palette features a shade range that runs from the palest champagne to the grittiest gunmetal. Not just "shades of beige", each shadow has a distinctly Urban look, yet works for EVERYONE." 
This is definitely an everyday essential for me! I use this most days if not everyday even if I'm just using one shade from it because it just has everything you need. 

I LOVE the Real Techniques Brushes! They are so affordable yet so high quality.

 WHAT REAL TECHNIQUES SAY: "Designed with pro makeup artist Samantha Chapman, Real Techniques brushes combine high-tech materials with innovative design to make creating a pixel-perfect look easier than ever." 
My favourites definitely have to be the buffing brush and contour brush (both part of the core collection HERE). 

MAC's Lipstick in Russian Red is a favourite of mine because 1. I LOVE the colour and 2. it lasts literally all day. 
MAC Russian Red Lipstick

WHAT MAC SAY: "Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous." 
The shade Russian Red is described as 'Intense bluish red' in a matte finish. Though it is a matte finish it actually feels very moisturising and does not dry the lips out at all. I like wearing this with a red lip liner underneath to prolong the colour even more. 

I have a feeling that this next product is something that I will end up talking about A LOT and is the Rimmel BB Cream. 
Rimmel BB Cream in Light

WHAT RIMMEL SAY: "Rimmel's 1st 9-in-1 Skin Perfecting Super Makeup 9 in 1 results: Primes, moisturises, minimizes pores, conceals, covers, smoothes, mattifies, brightens, and helps protect. Lightweight, ultra comfortable formula instantly gives a flawless finish." 
I love how great the coverage is for this, as even though it is a BB cream, it still has the coverage of a foundation but the lightness of a moisturiser. 

Another product from MAC is their Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft And Gentle. 
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in 'Soft And Gentle'

WHAT MAC SAY: "A luxurious velvet-soft powder with high-frost metallic finish. Smoothes on: adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks, brows, anywhere on the body: provides an ultra-deluxe polish to the skin." 
The colour is described as "Gilded peach bronze". This leaves the skin with a super healthy glow. I apply this with my Real Techniques Contour Brush to the tops on my cheekbones. 

So there are my 5 top favourite beauty products ever (at this moment in time!). 
Let me know if you'd like me to do a more in-depth review of any of the products here!

March wish list!

MAC Lovelorn Lipstick
I'd never heard of this until a couple of weeks ago when I swatched it and bought it for my friend for her birthday. It's a soft pink and it is just a great everyday colour. It is also a similar colour to MAC Angel.

NARS The Happening Palette
So I originally found this on Shopstyle when I was looking for NARS products and I thought that it look amazing. I also saw Zoella mention it too on her "Huge Collective Haul & Giveaway" video. Sprinkle of Glitter mentioned it too on her "What's in my travel makeup bag" video. I've just found out that the blush and Bronzer in this palette is the Orgasm blush and Laguna Bronzer which I've just taken off this list because if I bought this palette then I wouldn't need the singles of these two as well!

Estée Lauder Pure Colour Eyeshadow Duo in Raisins
I saw this product featured on one of Tanya Burr's videos and on one of Zoella's too and I just thought that it looked like a really gorgeous duo in colours that I wouldn't usually go for!

Alrighty! I'm definitely hoping to buy all these very soon, so when/if I do I'll do a haul post and show you what I've bought!
Hope you're all having a great day whatever you're doing and I will speak to you on Saturday!
Lots of love xx
