Strangely out of all four of my 2014 favourite posts, todays post is the one I’m most excited to share with you all. I think that may partly be down to the fact I haven’t shared a few of these products with you before here on British Beauty Addict, but they are products I use and love on a regular basis and let’s be honest, we can all dream about having beautiful hair, skin and makeup, but without the right tools that just won’t happen.
Crown Brushes C139&C412 (Full Review)
Crown Brushes C139&C412 (Full Review)
All eyeshadow addicts need the perfect eyeshadow
brushes and for me that would be two Crown Brushes; the stiff tapered crease
eyeshadow brush and the dlx pointed crease eyeshadow brush. These brushes are
super soft, wash extremely well and have helped to create countless amounts of
smoky, natural, eyeshadow looks over the past year. They have both trumped my
recent MAC 217 purchase and I couldn’t be without them!
I was lucky enough to receive the Magnitone Pulsar at
the beginning of 2014, but my skin
wasn’t so lucky and all hell broke loose (basically I had a breakout). But now I couldn’t
be without it. When used in a routine, I can really see the difference, it
helps smooth, clear, remove dirt and impurities and I can tell when I don’t use
it. Skincare and makeup products apply beautifully the morning after using the
Magnitone Pulsar and it has really helped my skin become more even in texture and tone.
Another affordable brush at just £3!
The MUA F6 Blusher & Contouring brush is a soft synthetic angled brush and
my go to for contouring. It’s the perfect size, cleans extremely well and
doesn’t malt. I have been using it lovingly along with my Charlotte
Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow palette.
Who really uses all their brushes for their intended
use? Well this brush is without a doubt a brow changing brush. I like to use it
with a matte powder to fill in my brows and it works perfectly. I have received
so many comments about my brows and who knew a brush could be the reason
why.
My RT brushes are still going strong and have been
staple brushes in my collection. If you are looking to invest in some brushes,
I can’t recommend the Real Techniques range high enough. Brilliant brushes,
that are affordable, wash perfectly, last a long time and help to apply your
makeup beautifully.
A more recent discovery; the Travalo. Forget
travelling around with your favourite bottle of perfume, this perfume
atomizer allows you to carry your favourite perfume without the worry of
smashing it, it’s much smaller and hay doesn’t weigh a ton. Simple and
effective.
Award winning tweezers?
Yep, I thought the same, tweezers are just tweezers right? Nope, think again!
Tweezerman Tweezers are super sharp and great at getting rid of those pesky,
short unwanted hairs that other tweezers fail to get. I have a travel pair,
which are just as good, but saved me a couple of pounds and worth every
penny.
All hail the at home
facial! I have had this at home facial steamer for as long as I can remember,
it’s brilliant as a little treat, its incredibly relaxing, helps to bring dirt
and impurities to the surface, helps increase circulation, it’s hydrating and
preps the skin for subsequent treatments. I use the steam facial around 1-2
times a month for around 10 minutes and follow up with my favourite face mask -
winner.
I have spent years trying to curl my hair and then
consequently doing everything I can to try to make them hold and last at least
a couple of hours. But gone are the days where I unleash a whole can of
hairspray onto my hair, in the bid to keep my curls bouncing. Say hello to the
Remington Sapphire Hair Tong, the only hair curling device that has ever
managed to successfully curl my hair. Absolutely brilliant.
