Products i should use more often

Friday 1 June 2012

Make up

Do you ever have them products that you forget you even had or neglect, which you actually really love? Well I decided I should start digging some things out which I should use more often. I got my nars larger than life lip gloss in the nars wicked attraction set, and ever since I've worn it about once. It's such a high quality lip gloss and a lovely everyday nude that I should start using it more. 

I lusted over topshop's highlighter in prism for ages, not too sure if you can still get it now though and I've barely used it since I bought it. Nars albatross is my favourite highlight at the moment, but I actually really like this one to give my a really nice pearly glow, whereas albatross is a golden highlighter, it would be nice to use this for a change.

I love my sleek contour kit, the bronzer is perfect for contouring as it's matt and the highlighter is gorgeous and I have no idea why this hasn't been used for so long. Back into my make up bag you go.

Skin care

I'm quite lazy when it comes to exfoliation. I tend not to do it because my liz earle cleanse and polish gently exfoliates when I use that and I don't want to be to harsh on my skin. However, the simple oil balancing facial scrub is really gentle and helps control my oily skin. I think it would be good to get this back into my routine. 

I love the smell of tea tree oil and I really like the idea of it's healing and anti-bacterial properties, especially for problem skin. I didn't find that when I used to use this it actually helped prevent or calm any spots, but it certainly made my skin feel clean and prevent any bacterial build up, nice! For that reason I should start using it again!

Completely forgot I had this from a glossy box, can't remember which one though. I really like the smell and would like to start using it to firm and moisturise my skin. It cost £40 full sized, so it must be amazing right?

Hair care

I love hair care products, I own so many different things it's easy to forget I have certain things. One thing I haven't forgot I had, but neglect due to laziness is my heat protection spray, lee stafford poker straight flat iron protection shine mist, huge name. I'm trying to look after my hair a little more, however, I can't live without heat styling tools so this needs to get used more. It smells lovely and doesn't weigh down my hair or leave it greasy looking, it's perfect.

I've had both the umberto giannini overnight beauty moisture balm and instant leave in conditioner for ages, but just simply haven't been using them. They both make my hair feel and smell amazing, leaving it really conditioned and soft. I forgot how good these were, welcome back into my life.

What product's do you want to use more often or forget you have?

  6. I love Prism, I think it may be my favourite highlighter! I wish Topshop still did these cheek sticks as I think I'd pick up some more x

  7. I love the Lee Stafford range, it all smells so nice! I'm the same with hair products, I have so many (that are all pretty similar) that I just end up using whatever is closest! I have quite a few Tigi S Factor products that all smell lovely, but are a bit neglected at the moment. xXx

  14. I totally know what you mean! I've go so many products that I love at first and then find something else so completely forget about them even though they're amazing (hope that makes sense haha). xx
