What are your recent beauty finds that haven't left you disappointed?

Hi,

Just that really.

Inspired by my recent Mac lipstick purchase in Velvet Teddy 😍 Love love LOVE it!!

It's not drying, but does last. The colour is really flattering and I don't suit many colours at all, as I'm really quite pale. Was very dubious, as it seemed a bit of a celeb gimmick, but after losing an afternoon falling down the YouTube rabbit hole of watching Mac lipstick swatches , I went ahead and purchased 4! 🤦‍♀️

Velvet Teddy is by far my favourite.

Your turn

Nyx eye primer and Fenty Galaxy eyeshadow palette.

Avon dupe perfumes- the Daisy one in particular.

Benefit Gimme brow, as well. So expensive for a tiny tube but really quite fool proof.
Glossier cloud paint, extremely pigmented and bit hard to get used to, but the finish is really nice and different from my usual powder blushes.

I have old hair. Where I previously could get great results from cheap hair products I now have to spend. My "swears by" products are philip kingsley elasticizer followed by aveda dry repair shampoo and conditioner with a silk night cap once a week.

That's elasticiser extreme, I meant to say!

Dior Nail Abricot Cream - it’s made such a difference to my nails in terms of growth and strength
I was persuaded to splash the cash after reading India Knights review In the Times at the end of July and haven’t had a broken nail since - also the vertical splits that I’ve had in two of my nails for years have all but disappeared.

Pretty much everything I’ve used by The Ordinary. Their hylauronic acid (think that’s how you spell it) is amazing. I’m fussy and have sensitive skin so I’d recommend it to everyone!

Revolution’s version of Gimme Brow - i actually prefer it to the Benefit one and it’s only £5.

The blue shampoo and conditioner from Beauty Pie. My hair is thick, frizzy and shite. I’ve used it for the first today and am amazed at the difference it’s made to my hair!

Ok here it’s goes I’m a massive product junkie but here are the ones I keep rebuying
Davines Oi all in one milk makes hair shiny and silky and smells amazing of roses
Loccitane almond oil shower oil , beat shower product ever the smell is divine .
Charlotte tilbury flawless filter I use shade 3 makes you glow and make up sits great on it
Body shop cammomile cleansing butter , just perfect .
Fenty pro filter foundation great coverage but not flat looking
Maybelline matte ink lipsticks my faves are heroine and inspirer

L'Oréal paradise mascara works well with my lashes . Mac nic chapman lipstick sad it's limited edition . I'm so fussy with lipsticks hardly ever finish them but this is well used .

Skin & Me prescription

Lash tint- so much easier than mascara. Just bought a clear mascara to go with it.

I'm in need of a great, tinted moisturiser and dark circle concealer that lasts all day

I find the Ordinary hyluronic acid rubbish. It pills under other products.

Giorgio Armani Neo Nude foundation. It covers without being heavy. Love it!

I bought this as a treat for a friend when she was pregnant over lockdown. She used the oil every day. Whenever she had her midwife checks she was always told that she had the softest skin.

Wearing a very wide brim hat whenever I’m outside in the backyard. I’ve more freckles & sun damage this year from spending so much time sitting in the garden reading (when we couldn’t go anywhere). The Australian sun is quite strong & we are heading into summer. I like being outside but not the ageing side affects of too many UV rays.
