I received great feedback from my previous post "March Must Haves" where I filled you in on my top 5 beauty buys from the month of March, so after receiving the great feedback I'm going to keep the format similar in this post while also keeping It short and sweet and fill you in on my top 3 Make-Up must haves.
1.Mac Mineralize skin finish-Soft and Gentle.
I've searched for ages for the perfect highlighter and I heard amazing reviews about this particular highlighter so I decided that I'd give it a try as I know my own beautician swears by it. I purchased mine in Brown Thomas and it retails at €31, it sounds a bit pricey for one singular product but as it has such good pigmentation you literally only need a teeniest tiniest amount in order to get that champagne shimmer effect when the sunlight hits your face. This highlighter looks amazing also down the bridge of your nose, the brow bone and also a tiny stroke on your cupids bow. I finally understand what all the hype is about as this product as its definitely one of my favourite products in my make up bag. you can see the amazing pigment in the picture below.
2. Benefit They're Real Push up Gel liner.
Have you ever been defeated by eyeliner while trying to apply that perfect wing, and you actually end up looking like you've got panda eyes? well fear no more, this eyeliner has become my holy grail beauty product. I used to absolute dread putting on eye liner and then I found this gem. To apply, you twist the base of the pen once to push up the gel liner and then resting the tip of the pen on the base of your lashes,slowly guide the pen along your lash line starting at either the inner or outer corner which ever you find easier yourself. Applying gel liner literally has been a whole new experience for me and I actually enjoy wearing eyeliner now as its extremely fast to apply and also it is extremely durable and you can be guaranteed that it will not smudge. If your currently in the position I used to be in and you haven't perfected that perfect wing then get yourself to your nearest Benefit stockists and treat yourself. I purchased mine in Sam McCauley's in the Showground's Clonmel, this product retails at €25 but is worth every single penny -us women really are willing to pay anything to be able to apply our make up stress free.
3.SoSue Complete Contour Kit.
I had been literally searching for the perfect contour kit for months, as I have dry enough skin I didn't want to buy a full powder contour kit as I felt it just wouldn't suit my skin type. As you are all aware there are hundreds of contour kits available from a wide range of shops so it can be a tough decision to choose the perfect one. I had heard about the SoSu Complete contour kit from a wide range of bloggers, but I didn't want to jump ahead and purchase it just because it was Suzanne Jacksons very own product. I spent a week or two watching various tutorials and I finally decided that it was the right one for me. It comes with 3 cream concealer shades, one cream highlight shade for strobing, it also contains a pressed banana type powder for highlighting, and lastly a beautiful matte bronzer. So you basically get the best of both worlds as all your essentials are contained in the one palette. This palette retails at €29.95 and can be purchased in chemists nationwide and also on Sue's website --> SoSue.ie. This is definitely become one of must have beauty products, the cream concealers have amazing coverage, and likewise for the powders, I'm a massive fan of shade 6 which is the bronzing powder as its the perfect shade to achieve that perfect bronzed finish. I would definiitley recommend anyone who is new to contouring to get your hands on this palette as it comes with a step by step guide on how to use each shade.
So that's my Top 3 Beauty products from May, I hope you enjoyed reading this post. I'm starting a new venture this week where ill be heading to Inglot in Limerick to begin the Intermediate Make-Up course. Stay tuned for plenty of more updates and don't forget to check out my facebook page
