It is time for a new blog post here on my little corner of the internet. I thought that I would take this time today to chat to you guys all about my all-time favourite makeup products. As some of you will already know from the hoards of beauty reviews here on my blog, but I am a lover of all things makeup. I feel like as I get older, I don’t buy the hoards of makeup that I once did, I am now much more in tune with the items that work for me and I stick with those. So, I thought that I would sit down, write a list of all ofmy all time favourite products that I am loving and explain to you guys a little about why I love them so much and chose to keep them in my vanity.
KVD Good Apple Foundation.
I know that for most people, this foundation will need no introduction because it went viral online when people started to use it on social media. When this KVD foundation first burst onto the scene, I wasn’t all that bothered about it because I do have other full coverage foundations in my makeup collection that I do truly love and adore. I wanted to go ahead and pick up this KVD Good Apple Foundation a couple of weeks later when people were beginning to develop their opinions and they were saying how oily this foundation and for me with dry skin at the moment, it called out to me. Needless to say, this is an oily foundation, but I feel like it has done wonders at hydrating my skin, whilst being amazing and full coverage on the skin!

Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer.
I think that I first saw this product on Tik Tok and I logged straight onto the Boots website and picked it up without hesitation. The person on Tik Tok, was a beauty reviewer, unfortunately, I cannot remember his name for the life of me. He was talking about the Benefit Porefessional and said that anybody still using it to try and hide their pores should make the switch over the Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer. The first thing that I noticed is that the Urban Decay is hell of a lot thicker and when I say that it is like spackle for the skin, I really do mean that it is like spackle for the skin. With just a tiny amount of this, all of my pores are completely gone and my skin looks as flawless as baby skin, which I just adore!

Nars Climax Mascara.
I can remember a couple of years back; I sat down and wrote a blog post all about the things that I didn’t like about the makeup industry. In that blog post, I can specifically remember writing about how I adored the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara and I thought that anybody who spent a large amount of money was just wasting their time. This is me 4 years later, eating my own words. After going from the Maybelline Mascara to this Nars Climax Mascara, I will be the first person to admit that I was wrong and there is a big difference. Straight away when I started trying this product, I realised that it applied much smoother, added immense volume and looked amazing throughout the whole day, with no smudging or crumbling throughout the day. I adore this Nars mascara!
Â
Urban Decay Brow Blade.
I feel like for the longest time I tried to resist picking up the Urban Decay Brow Blade because I thought that my £3 NYX pencil did a good enough job, but as soon as I used this product for the first time, I realised what I had been missing. I feel like the pencil side of this product is fairly straight forward and do I think that the pencil alone would be worth the £25? No probably not. The thing that I find really sets this item apart from the rest is the amazing ink side with the incredibly precise tip. Normally, after I have applied my brow pencil and gel, I will go in with the ink side and an incredibly light hand to draw in individual little hairs to get my brows looking natural yet full, all at the same time.

Fenty Tinted Lip Balm.
When it comes to lip balm, I feel like you guys can take my word as gospel because I have some dry ass lips. I feel like no matter what I do or the extreme lengths that I go to, I wake up in a morning and honestly feel like my lips could just crack and fall from my face. Naturally, when I saw that Fenty had come out with a lip balm, I jumped at the chance and picked it up straight away, little did I know at the time that it would quickly become my new favourite item. The thing which I really love about this Fenty product is that I don’t have to compromise comfort to look good, or vice versa. With this, I get amazing colour pay off, that still looks natural, while being incredibly nourishing throughout the day.
Â
Vieve Essentials Palette.
Finally, my last all time favourite products is the Vieve Essentials Palette. At the time when the items first launched, I logged onto her website and bought pretty much every single item. The standout item to me has to be the Essentials Palette. The thing about this palette that really struck me is that every single shade in the palette is completely wearable. You can wear each of the shades in a whole array of different ways. I have now been using this for the best part of a year. Personally, I think that every single shade is amazing. They blend out flawlessly and I actually look forward to applying this. Which is an alien concept for me and eyeshadow.
I hope that you guys liked reading this blog post and reading about my all-time favourite products. In a couple of weeks I am going to rewrite this but focus on drugstore items. These are the key items that I just cannot seem to shake at the moment. I am not mad about that. As always, I will pop a link to these items down below. Please do make sure to leave me a comment. Let me know some of the products that you have been loving recently. I will have to go ahead and check them out for myself!
