2011 Favourites.

♥ Rimmel Stay Matte Powder: I prefer this over MAC MSF Natural, a great way to set makeup and absorb excess oils on the cheap!
♥ Topshop Highlighter in Sunbeam: I think this may be sold out now, but it’s my favourite highlighter ever!
♥ MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation: I’ve gone off this a bit now, despite using it for the last two years. The colour is all wrong for me, but still the best foundation I’ve come across in terms of finish and coverage. 
♥ Benefit The Pore-Fessional Primer: Hands down, the best primer I’ve found (after trying so many!) makes pores invisible and also creates the smoothest base. 
♥ Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer: Heavy duty coverage without looking caked or unnatural. 

♥ Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara: the best mascara I’ve ever tried, leaves my eyelashes thick and full of volume. 
♥ Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit: Perfect for concealing under eye bags, without being heavy or creasing. 
♥ Benefit Brow-Zings in Medium: I’ve never used any other eyebrow product, this has everything you need. 
♥ Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler: A recent purchase but already in my favourites, makes such a difference. 
♥ MAC Fluidline Eyeliner in Blacktrack: Perfect for thick, black eyeliner and my favourite cat flicks. Lasts all day and never smudges. 

♥ Benefit Bella Bamba: A shimmery coral which has quickly become one of my favourites. 
♥ NARS Orgasm Powder Blush: My all time favourite blush, a peachy pink with gold shimmer. This suits all skintones! 
♥ MAC Fleur Power Powder Blush: A bright pink with a Satin finish, gives such a lovely, natural flush.
♥ MAC LE Bite of An Apple Blush: Similar to Fleur Power but matte and a bit brighter. 
♥ Illamasqua Powder Blush in Beg: A dusty pink with a matte finish, although I tend to add highlighter.

♥ Models Own Utopia: A perfect white/lilac shade, my newest favourite! 
♥ Models Own Juicy Jules: Perfect for using on one finger, this goes with everything! 
♥ Models Own Slate Green: I love this colour, a darker mint. 
♥ Missguided Nail Splash in Misstique: I love the quality of these polishes, I wear this teal shade often.
♥ No7 in Cheeky Chops: This looks like Shellac when it’s on, and the colour is beautiful. It lasts a good few days before it chips too. 

♥ Sigma F80 Brush: The perfect brush for applying foundation, buffs in so naturally. I’ll never use anything else. 
♥ St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse: My favourite fake tan, it applies easily and naturally without streaking. 
♥ Marc Jacobs Daisy EDP: Probably my favourite perfume, fresh, floral and light. 
♥ Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Body Lotion: Unscented, moisturising without being greasy and absorbs in well. 
♥ MAC Matte Gel: The perfect prep product to absorb excess oils, I use this on my T-Zone under foundation. 

♥ Dove Express Treatment Conditioner: My favourite conditioner, it only takes a minute and leaves hair feeling amazing. It also smells delicious. 
♥ Aussie Luscious Long Leave-in-Conditioner: Perfect for when you can’t quite get the brush through your wet hair! 
♥ L’Oreal Mythic Oil: This has been replaced by Moroccanoil, but I do love this product. It smells lovely and leaves ends feeling soft and conditioned. 
♥ L’Oreal Pli: The perfect product for creating texture and volume at the roots. 
♥ John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum: The best serum I’ve used for leaving hair soft, shiny and frizz-free.
