My 5 Beauty Products I Can’t Live Without ✨

My Must-Have Products that Truly Deliver

If I’ve done your makeup before, you’ll remember the relaxing feeling when your lashes were curled with my heated eyelash curler.

Or how sensationally hydrated your lips felt after I’d applied a lip conditioner for you as part of your skin prep.

Last but by no means least, the improvement you saw in your skin texture with the application of the perfect primer.

In this newsletter you’ll be privy to 5 of the beauty products I keep in my kit, that I simply can’t do without 🖤

“fresh” Deep Hydration Oil-Infused Serum 🌹

Without a doubt my favourite skin care product. When my skin feels dehydrated & dull this is the serum I reach for. Generally, I use it in the morning before moisteriser & sunscreen, allowing each layer to absorb into my skin. I find it deeply hydrating, it gives me a healthy glow, which means more youthful looking skin & therefore a better canvas to apply foundation.

Being a water & oil-based serum, you need to give it a good shake to emulsify the layers. Key ingredients are damask rose extract, rose water, rose flower oil & squalene. This combination leads to a plump, softened & smooth textured skin. It feels like you gave your face a big nutritious drink.

“Mecca” Lip De-luscious Night Lip Treatment 💋

You know that question, what would you bring to a desert island? This is definitely coming with me. I love lipstick +/- gloss, but whenever I wear it 2-3 days later my lips get super dry & crack. (I’m sensitive to lanolin, can you believe it?) This is the only treatment I can wear which repairs & nourishes my lips when it happens. I’ve actually been asked if I have lip fillers, just for the record, I haven’t. Nope, I wear this nourishing, hydrating balm nearly every day & night.

Ingredients include shea butter, a rich emollient & Vitamin E for soothing rejuvenation. It feels rejuvenating with the first application.

“REVOLUTION” Pro Hydra Bright Primer 🌟

Must admit I love luminous skin, for my clients & myself; this is the primer I reach for. It adds a beautiful, youthful glow to skin without looking oily. Suitable for all skin types, it absorbs into skin, leaving a perfect canvas to apply foundation. Ingredient list includes shea butter, vitamin B5 & glycerin. Remember if you want to look younger a well hydrated, nourished complexion is the way to go. Revolution pro hydra bright primer has not let me or my clients down. It delivers every time.

Heated Eyelash Curler

Want to look younger? Was that a YES, curl your lashes! If you want to look more youthful, never miss this step. I was going to tell you all about my fabulous Ardell heated eyelash curler, which uses a triple A battery. After doing some research, I’ve discovered that there are some fantastic ‘New Age’ heated curlers on the market. No batteries required, they are USB rechargeable, have 3 temperature settings, LED display & heat up in a mere 10 seconds. I’m going to order one today on Amazon & keep you posted with results. 😘

“Poni Cosmetics” The White Knight Mascara 🐴

This fabulous water-resistant mascara is another recent find. I absolutely love it 🖤 If you have oily lids & find your mascara smudges even when you use a water-proof version, this product is for you.

It has a dual action brush, one for lengthening & one for volumizing. After curling my upper lashes I use the volumizing brush, for my lower lashes I use the lengthening brush, it carries less product & gives me a clean look. It’s a tubing mascara which means it creates a tube of product around each individual lash, resulting in no clumping. It’s easily removed with warm water & a gentle wipe with a cotton pad.
