What I'm Using Right Now 'Tag'

I say 'tag' because I wasn't actually tagged but I love reading these types of posts so I thought I'd share!


Shampoo: Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect - I love this shampoo even though it's a tiny bit blah.

Conditioner: Now conditioner is a funny one for me - I don't use it everyday and I sometimes feel that it stops working for me if I use the same one twice in a row. So right now I switch between Tresemme Moisture Rich and L'oreal elvive Nutri-Gloss.

Styling Products: I occasionally use a spray of L'oreal Elnett Very Volume hairspray, but only if it's being uncooperative!

Shower Gel: Palmolive Aroma Therapy - the orange one. It was on sale :)

Body Moisturizer: The Body Shop's Body Butter, the cocoa one. It's for super dry skin and it smells good enough to eat :)

Deodorant: Some nivea one that leaves horrible white marks.

Fake Tan: I'm Irish, I don't mind being pale!

Cleanser: Boots essentials makeup remover wipes to take off the majority (not the cucumber kind, i hate the smell) and then Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 wash and mask. Luckily, I don't really get acne but I use this to stop any that might be thinking about making an appearance.

Exfoliator: A sample I got from Clarins of their one step exfoliating cleanser and I really like it. I may have to invest in a full size!

Primer: Smashbox Photofinish. Personally, I like the way it smooths out everything but I know some people have problems with it causing milia on the skin, which are small little white marks that are harmless, but really annoying.

Foundation: Right now it's MAC Studio Fix Fluid, but I don't think that the powder-based formula works for me in the winter. I need a foundation thats more moisturizing.

Foundation Brush: The MAC 187 brush - maybe it's me, but i just can't get any other brush to work without looking really streaky.

Concealer: Concealer from the Benefit Realness Of Concealness palette for under my eyes and Benefit Erase Paste on any redness.

Powder: MAC Mineralize Skifinish Natural.

Blusher: It changes but I've been reaching for Nars Orgasm a lot lately. I love the colour with my skintone but I sometimes wish it was more pigmented. Benefit Coralista is pretty much the same colour with more pigmentation.

Bronzer: Nars Laguna.

Highlighter: I almost always neglect highlighter...but if I remember I would just use whatever shadow I used on my browbone! So lazy...

Eyeshadow Base: UDPP - when I bought this I didn't know that it works better on oily lids but all the same it does what it says on the tin.

Eyeshadow: Well they change everyday but today it's a neutral eye using a cream colour on the lid, taupe in the crease and a matte dark grey to deepen - they all came from an old No.7 palette that I had long forgotten about and found today :)

Eyeliner: MAC Fascinating Eye kohl to brighten up my lower waterline and Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero on the upper waterline, which if you haven't done it before sounds odd but it makes lashes look thicker.

Curler: I have an eyelash curler by Mister Mascara set that I got in Boots, but I rarely use it!

Mascara: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara - I'm in two minds about this. I don't see the point in the wand; it's just a gimmick IMO. But I don't hate the formula. I wish it made them thicker, but it's good at lengthening.

Lipstick: Barry M lip paint in 132.

Lipgloss: MAC Pinkarat Lusterglass.

Nail Colour: Even though autumn is about deep reds and purples, I'm still in love with pastel shades. I can't help it :) Right now I'm wearing a 17 nail polish in Pinking Shear which is an opalescent pastel pink.

Of course I tag anyone who wants to join in :)
