If I Could Only Pick One Item From..
Upon looking through my beauty stash there is a pattern of my product buying, I either have a few items from a brand or I then just have one product even though I adore the brand. So if I only could pick one items from some of my favourite brands here are what they would be:
L'Oreal: True Match Foundation: I own a fair few items from L'Oreal as it's a brand that I've used and trusted for years. The True Match range pretty iconic across the world and it deserves all the praise it receives. It has a great range of shades, which is a rarity in the high street and the formulation is brilliant. A medium coverage affair which doesn't lean too dewy or too matte, just like skin.
Jurlique: Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator*: I love Jurlique as a brand, I love the ethos behind then and the minimal packaging is dreamy. I've been lucky enough to try quite a lot from them but by far my favourite product is the Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator*. It gets to work at brightening up my complexion in a matter of minutes and I'm instantly left glowing.
Stila: Convertible Colour: You're probably all sick of hearing about my love from the Convertible Colour in Lilium. The best cream blush that I've ever used and when I finish up this one I will run straight to Boots to pick up another one. My go to in either summer or winter as it add's such a beautiful glow to the cheek and is fool proof to apply.
MAC: Mineralize Skinfinish: Although I've never considered myself much of a MAC lover I do own a fair few items from the infamous brand. I picked up the Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade when I heard it could be a dupe for the purse weepingly expensive Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders. It's a beautiful aluminising powder that brings so much life to the skin without being too glittery or shimmery.
Aesop: Parsley Seed Masque: The packaging alone makes me instantly want to fill my bathroom with every item that Aesop stock. I'm desperate to try more from the brand as I've got on with Parsley Seed Masque so well. It's an awesome cleansing mask that brings out all the impurities but doesn't leave you with a face full of spots afterwards.
Nars: Blush in Douceur: A brand that is highly praised throughout the blogging world is Nars, that matte black packaging is iconic. Out of all the items that I've wanted to try for them a blusher was first on my list, especially douceur. Everything you've heard about these blushes are true and I've got my eye on Sin next.
Bobbi Brown: Sheer Lip Colour: Bobbi Brown is always one of those brands that I've heard a lot about and always see when I'm having a wander around the beauty halls but not one I've ever really looked into. After Jen's constant raves about the Sheer Lip Colour in Rosy my best friend kindly picked it up for me for my birthday in May and it has been one of my most worn lipsticks over the past few months. The formulation is an absolute dream and can either be worn sheer or built up to a more opaque coverage.
Korres: Lip Butters: I wish Korres was more widely available in stores so I could get more of a feel for the line, their moisturisers in particular look lovely. I've got three of the lip butters though and I love each one of them, they're a great tinted balm that hydrates the lips without being overly glossy and slippy.
If you could only pick one product from a brand what would it be?
