-NYX Pore Filler Primer This primer is amazing and reminds me of Benefit Porefessional but with a much smaller price tag. As I have quite large pores around my t-zone which are highlighted once I have foundation on I need a primer that is not only going to smooth out my skin and create a perfect base for my makeup to go on it also needs to help erase my pores when my makeup is on and this primer definitely does both perfectly. A little definitely goes a long way with this product I place it on the centre of my face and spread it outwards so the focus of the product is on my t-zone but also means that my entire face has a smooth base. -NYX HD Concealer Wand With high pigmentation and long lasting staying power this concealer does everything a concealer should do. My only issue with this concealer was the buying process as my NYX counter never has any samples and the products it does have a sample of it doesn't have any of the product in stock so it was very stressful to buy this concealer as, I was very unsure which shade to get as there weren't any testers but I settled on the shade 'Light' which is great for my under eye area but is a little too orange toned for the rest of my face so, I am only able to use a small amount of product which means it doesn't have the coverage I want but with a lighter shade it would be perfect. -NYX Eyeshadow Base (White) After seeing a few bloggers mention this eyeshadow base and being desperately in need for one as I had been complaining about my eyeshadow not lasting as long as I hoped for I went to my nearest NYX counter which is 61.5 miles away and picked this up. You only need a small amount for this product to work it's magic and have eyeshadow that lasts all day and night. (I still need to test this on a night out to see if it truly can withstand everything) I set this eyeshadow base with a nude colour out of my Morphe 35OM palette so it allows the shadows to blend easily. -Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub As the seasons are beginning to change my lips are started to get a little drier than usual and I'm sure my obsession with matte liquid lipsticks don't help either. My Lush Lip Scrub has been a life saviour using it every other night to scrub all the dry skin off of my lips. Not only is this product practical as it exfoliates and moisturises your lips but it also tastes pretty damn good too! Once you've scrubbed your lips you're able to lick it off as it is all 100% natural and to me this tastes exactly like salted popcorn which I love so it's perfect for me. -Benefit Bad Gal Lash After being left bitterly disappointed with the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara which left my eyelashes clumpy with a major case of panda eyes I remembered I had a brand new Bad Gal Lash mascara to try and oh my god this mascara is everything I've ever dreamt a mascara being like. When I first got the product out I was terrified of how large the wand was and could see myself in about 3 minutes with my eye area being covered in mascara with very little on my eyelashes, but I survived. My eyelashes were left looking long, separated and just all round fantastic with no mascara around my eye area and I didn't have any case of panda eyes by the end of the day. I feel like this mascara isn't promoted as much as it should be as I have never seen an AD campaign or a blogger talking about this and I recommend this to anyone who is still searching for their perfect mascara.
