I have a confession to make - I have a pretty weak interest in tonnes of beauty products and make-up. There, I said it. Whilst I really want to find and adore lovely expensive beauty products, I tend to lose focus and willpower in a proper planned routine. Instead, I opt for a 5-10 minute fix in the mornings to brighten up and get ready for a usually very busy day ahead! I decided to transfer all of my beauty products to my top drawer to clear the clutter from my room and so far it has been very helpful!
(From the top - down)
1. Dry shampoo - This bottle can only be described as every woman's hero in the mornings. I discovered it last year and have never looked back, even the mornings when I had fresh hair and just needed a lift. Never used it before? BUY IT!
2. Lush Snow Fairy - Possibly my favourite smelling and looking shower gel ever. This is a limited edition Christmas product at Lush and the thought of using the whole ginormous bottle of it in the bathroom and my travel size before Christmas 2012 is making me teary. It smells like heaven.
3. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Thickening Blow Dry Lotion - I read about this product in LibertyLondonGirl's post here and went on a hunt in Boots. I was a little apprehensive at first with the slightly high price but I never want to part with it. Ever. My usually flat hair loves the little extra volume and I love the fact that it's a spray and is idiot proof.
4. Lush Lip Tints - I currently have 'It Started with a Kiss' and the new Valentines shade - 'A Million Kisses'. The former is a slightly lighter red and the latter is a strong scarlet that I cannot stop wearing. If you don't have the time or patience for lipstick, take a look at these! (Review coming soon!) The Models Own is a clear gloss for when I can guarantee that my hair will not go anywhere near my face and stick to my lips!
5. Barry M All-In-One clear polish - If I forget to layer my nails in this before work, my nails become victims of death by cardboard box, crate or cage. Sob..
6. Daisy Marc Jacobs - When I found this bottle on sale I immediately knew it was fate. A discount AND a red bottle?! My prayers had been answered. It's now my signature scent and I dread the day that it runs out. I'm really hoping to try the other Daisy fragrance by Marc Jacobs soon as it smells like Parma Violets and prettiness.
7. Simple Revitalising Eye Roll-On and Light Moisturiser - I'm currently testing these out as I'm stuck in a skin care rut. My eyes always look so tired and I don't like a ton of product on my face so I'm hoping these will do the trick.
8. Soap & Glory Mascara - So far unused, this is a gift from Elle magazine this month. I've heard good things from this range so I'm looking forward to trying it out on V-day.
9. MAC Lipsticks - It's an addiction. Since my first perfect shade (Cindi Lauper Viva Glam) I seem to gravitate towards the MAC counter in celebration or depression. When I'm not wearing my Lush lip tint I'm obsessed with 'Such Flare!' from the 2011 Christmas range - a strong scarlett colour that matches my beret.
10. V05 hairspray and RightGuard - I always buy these when they are on sale because they're the best. I also love the HUGE bottle of hairspray because I'd just forget to buy more if I ran out frequently.
11. Nail Polish remover - For every nail design that I keep, three or four have been wiped away. I go through so many bottles of this stuff which does often make me worry about the hidden state of my nails..
12.And finally.... ELF mineral foundation and concealer - Since the high street decided it doesn't like mineral foundation anymore, I had to look further for my quick and easy look in the morning. I don't like a lot of make-up on my face and the thought of scraping and smoothing a foundation creme just isn't for me at this time - probably because I'd prefer to sleep...
So there we have it, my confession of a beauty drawer. I'm forever trying new products so if there's anything I've missed, do let me know...
