My Current Favourites!

After a hectic month of work and school, I'd like to show you all a quick rundown of what I've been loving and reaching for on a daily basis this past little while! These products which I'm focusing on all have to relate to skincare in terms of a better makeup-free base, and lighter products as spring and summer are upon us!



Makeup Favourites

First of all, my HG face primer without a doubt is the NARS Pro-Prime Pore Refining Primer in the oil-free formula. This is my absolute favourite primer because it makes my skin so smooth and it can keep it oil free for the whole day, for upwards of 10 hours! It's amazing and a little goes a long way!

Secondly, I've been loving my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint SPF 15 in Blush. Although the colour can appear to be quite vivid in the tube, don't let it scare you off! It actually goes on quite sheerly and can build up to a nice wash of colour, just perfect for those days when you want light makeup.

To finish off my eye makeup, I always use Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp Lash Plumping Mascara in Black. This has a huge brush which coats almost all my lashes in one sweep and gives them a good curl. It also sets quickly so it won't crumble off immediately. 

Skincare Favourites

The Murad Clarifying Cleanser is great for those of you, who, like me, have combination to oily skin. It has a very slight tingle from the menthol in the cleanser, which disappears in a minute. I like how it gently foams up and doesn't leave my skin feeling parched and stretched afterwards, and it's gentle enough for daily use. 

New to me this month, I started using the Korres Wild Rose + Vitamin C Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial at night, as I wanted to lighten up some of the hyperpigmentation from a few bad pimples I had a while ago. I have been using a sample tub (hence no photo) but this is incredibly moisturizing and seems to have evened out my skin tone! My one word of advice: for those of you who don't like the smell of roses, steer clear! Otherwise, it's a great choice!

For spring and summer, what are some of your favourites? Let me know in the comments below!
