Top Ten Tag


I was tagged to do this post by the lovely Jordan and as I've been struggling with the ol' blogger's block recently, I thought this would be a good post to get me back into the swing of things.

1. Foundation
My firm favourite is 100% the Bourjois Healthy Mix. The colour I have is a perfect match for me, the lasting power is amazing and the coverage is just right for how I like it. 

2. Powder
Staying true to my Bourjois Healthy Mix obsession, my favourite powder would have to be the Bourjois Healthy balance powder. As much as I love the Rimmel Stay Matte, this powder just has that much more coverage. And it smells so good!

3. Concealer
I don't think this will come as a surprise to anyone as my favourite concealer is the Collection Lasting Perfection - obvs. I won't bore you with the details, you already know how good this is.

4. Blush
Topshop's Cream Blush in Head Over Heels is so pretty! It was my staple coral blush throughout the summer and I'm definitely going to try to work it into my Autumn makeup routine.

5. Bronzer
Soap & Glory's Solar Powder has been the only bronzer I've been reaching for recently.The two shades make it great for the paler skin tone and it doesn't appear muddy or orange once it's on. 

6. Highlighter
Even though I'm not one to regularly use highlighter, I always return to the same one when I feel the need for a bit of highlight. Topshop's Glow Highlighter in Polish is so pretty and is so easy to apply. Because it's a cream highlighter you only need a tiny bit.

7. Mascara
The only mascara I can think of that I continuously repurchase is some version of Max Factor's False Lash Effect. Even though I wouldn't consider it my current favourite, it's just always there in my makeup collection and always finds it's way into my Boots basket when I know I've run out. That's got to count for something, hasn't it?

8. Eye Shadow
I found this hardest category in the tag post to choose a favourite. I like to switch and change my eye shadows so frequently that I couldn't say whether I consistently return to a certain shade. Eyeshadow is definitely the makeup that I love to experiment with and create different looks. The Soap & Glory eye shadows are some of the best I've tried though. Ooh, and the Maybelline Colour Tattoos. 

9. Brows
I've never found a brow product that I've been totally happy with and I just sort of muddle along with a selection of half-decent pencils, gels etc. So I don't think I could tell you my favourite. I'm open to suggestions though.

10. Lip Product
If you have read a recent review here on Corkscrew Curls, you'll know that my current favourite lip product is Bourjois' Rouge Edition Velvet lip stain. Oh my, I think it's unnatural how much I love this lip product. To avoid repeating myself I'll just direct you to my review post here if you want to read about my love for this product.

    1. Topshop sell their makeup online if you really want it! I've loved Bourjois Healthy Mix for so long, I don't think I'll find a foundation I like as much any time soon!
