Five Products I Can't Live Without..

I know everyone has their own very different makeup routines and everyone varies what they use every now and again, but these five products are the ones that I have used day in, day out, tried and tested for probably a year. I have so many empties of each product I could fill ... something quite large :)

So I thought I would share with you these little beauties that I must never be without!

1: That Gal Primer - Benefit . I first got a tester of this in a 'Finding Mr. Right' box set and fell in love with it as soon as I put it on. Underneath foundation, it helps give you a flawless complexion like no other primer i've tried. It's really moisturising but sinks in to your skin quickly and doesn't leave your foundation sliding around on your skin - I hate that. I really really really recommend trying this product if you're looking for a bright and flawless complexion. 

As you may have noticed, this is just a tester sample but this is how I buy a lot of my moisturisers and primer products from Benefit - now I'm a poor student. When you buy a That Gal primer from the Benefit stand as beautiful and lovely the stick and box is, you're paying £21.50 for only 11ml of the stuff. However, if you look for the product on ebay, you can buy three tester sized products for usually around £4.50, each 7.5ml.. Saving yourself a serious amount of money and getting a lot more to use.....

2: Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - Liz Earle: Now I'm sure you will have heard a lot of people going on about this product but if you haven't tried it... SERIOUSLY do. I've been using this product on and off since I was about 10 (fo real) and it's the cleanser I always come back to. It goes on your skin almost like a moisturiser and smells so fresh and easily wipes off all your make up and daily grime from your face with the muslin cloth they recommend. I love this product and at £14.25 (and includes two muslin face cloths) it's really worth the money.

3: Pro-long Wear Foundation - MAC: This foundation gives such a great coverage. If you like a light matt finish that you can build layers on too, this this is the one!! I find myself only occasionally re-applying throughout the day as it really does last long and if I'm going on a night out, I only need to apply a small amount to give me a flawless and matt finish. It's £24.00 - yes the price has gone up - but this bottle will last me at least 3/4 months.. so at £6 a month on amazing foundation you can't complain!

4: False Lash Effect - MaxFactor: This has been around for so long but it's THE best mascara I've ever tried. I have tested so many mascaras over the years from high end brands to drug store ones but this really is the best mascara. You can build so many layers on this but it doesn't leave you with clumpy spidery eyelashes.. Perfect!

5: CHECK Moisturiser - Clinique: I received this moisturiser as part of Clinque's 1 2 3 face washing thing and this without a doubt was my favourite product from the pack. I am going to blog about the kit soon as it really is worth buying and I can talk about it in more detail. The moisturiser is light and so quick to soak into your skin. When applying on a cleansed and toned face it feels so silky and makes my face feel baby soft. I really really love this product. It recommends only putting it on dry areas of skin.. but i stick it everywhere and still feels great!

Well I hope I haven't bored you all too much, and that you go out and try some of these products - if you haven't already - as without a doubt these are the five products that I can't live without!
