L'Oreal Lip Liner Couture - 630 Cafe de Flore

I have been looking for products that have multi-purpose and surprising I have not only just used this lip liner to of course line my lips but I have been using the product as a lip colour, together with a small amount of lip balm. 

The colour is beautiful and perfect for all skin types and for all seasons. The lip liner is soft easy to apply as I find some lip liners very drying and you end up tugging along the lip line. I also at times find lip liners drying on my lips which can be very off putting. L'Oreal really know there products and formulas and this is one product that is on my favourite list. Check out the other lip liners here.

Current make-up favourites

With being a busy mother and wishing to still look reasonable for the day ahead, I have been streamlining my make-up to ensure that it not only looks good but can be quick and I have found some ideal products that have helped me. 

The first product I love is the Clarins Instance Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base, its a great product to give a great base and provides the perfect shine without looking like a disco ball. 

To keep my eyebrows at bay I liked to use the L'Oreal Brow Artist Genius kit this provides both the pigment and wax to keep your eyebrows looking amazing throughout the day. 

George Asda Skin Brightener I use as a simple highlighter, it provides just enough brightener without looking too shiny and at £5 you cannot argue with the price, which you can pick up when you do your food shop. 

Face powder is provided by H and M and it provides a perfect finish for my make-up.

I use two products by Max Factor, the first is the Creme Puff blush, it is perfect for a subtle colour pop or if you want a more dramatic look you can build the colour up. I just use a small gentle sweep and it provides a beautiful colour and helps when I am feeling especially tired. For eye shadow I use a simple shimmer pot in bronze. This is again another product that you can convert from day to evening. I simply just add a small amount which provides a beautiful bronze colour and an excellent base for any further eye colour I wish to add. 

Lastly, mascara is provided by Kiko and this is my favourite at the moment. This mascara provides a long lasting curl and the colour is a rich black and lasts all day without any fall out which is perfect. 

So, that is my daily make-up why don't you send me a picture of your provides that you use on a daily basis to thesecretworldofabeautyblogger@gmail.com 

Rimmel Kate Matt Lipstick (101 Soft Pink)

I am really limited at the products I can use by Rimmel (I cannot use any of their eye products as I have a strange reaction to them- strange but true I have written to Rimmel to question further but have never received a response). So, the only thing I can use are their lipsticks and boy do they make good lipsticks. This is one of my favourite at the moment which its rich matte formula that does not leave your lips feeling dry it is perfect for the transition into the summer months at with the price point of £5.49 it is a bargain. This lipstick is available here.

NYC Individual Eye Shadow (918 Front Raw)

NYC is one of my favourite drug store brands- it is very underrated and I find the stands very unwelcoming and wish NYC work on this as the products they have are amazing and more people would purchase them if there was an improvement in their promotion and they would be a very successful brand. I especially love the NYC palettes, not only are the product formulas excellent but the price point is just amazing value for money. 

My advice is to have a look at the NYC counter as there are some real hidden gems available or check out their website.

Salix Alba Cleanser Co-Q10

I am a big fan of finding new skin care brands and Salix Alba is one that will remain in my skin care routine. This is my favourite product in my regime and one that I cannot do without. The cleanser contains nutritious oils and ingredients (organic apricot kernel oil, organic coconut oil, organic avocado oil, organic melon extract and spring water - unique only to the brand). 

I used this cleanser day and night on my face and neck and it makes my skin feel either ready for my day's make-up or is part of my clean up of my day's make-up. 

Salix Alba are based in the Lake District - I fully support UK based brand and they used all of their natural local ingredients within the region. The water comes from the Cartmel Valley aquifer which is renown for its curative powers since the 12th century. The aquifer water has filtered down through the fells, which was once covered by prehistoric White Willow forests which are the source of naturally occurring salicin (natural beta-hydroxy acid). Many brands use Salicylic Acid however Salix Alba do not they only use completely natural formulation available on the market.  

This is one cleanser that firstly, I would repurchase again and secondly, a product that is a must in your skin care regime. Check out Salix Alba website here.

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Concealer (light)

This is a must have for my make-up bag and I use this product every day. It's one of the best drug store products around. I use this product as a highlighter and what I love there is no sparkle its more of a glow. You can also build this product up so its great if you like a subtle glow or you and build it up for more of an impact. 

I also use this product down my nose, highlight the brow bone area and cupid bow and it looks amazing. The packaging is beautiful rose gold and both the product and the formula is definitely value for money at £8.99. This is one product that I would recommend for your make-up bag and it is available here.

Kanaa Exfo Firm Brightener System

These products have been the secret of my recent improvement in my skin. My skin looks dramatically different and is clear and well hydrated. 

These products nurture the skin, and deeply cleanses together with gently exfoliating any dead skin cells. I noticed after use my skin does not tingle or feel tight but feels refreshed and my face looks noticeably brighter. In addition, the products are multi-use as a treatment cleanser, exfoliator toner, mask and strengthener. I use this just before applying my serum and the rest of my days skin care products and makeup. 

So, all you need to do is pump one pump activator gel in your hand and then add two spoons (which is provided of exfo firm brightener and then apply to your face. I then gently massage my face and rinse off with cool water. This is perfect for all skin types. 

I know it is early into 2016 but this is my favourite skin care product so far for 2016!! Kanaa should be proud to have such amazing products available Check out Kanaa website here.
