Here we go...
1. Victoria's Secret 'Coconut Passion' Fragrance Mist
You know how sometimes you find a smell that you can't put down for five minutes without smelling it again? And again? A smell that could very easily become your signature scent? Well, this is definitely mine, hands down! I know we can't talk about summer now without sighs and our eyes becoming misty but hey, it wasn't that long ago and either way, coconut and vanilla fused together is going to smell heavenly whatever the season!
RRP: $12 (not sure how much in pounds)
2. NYX Stay Matte Powder Foundation"Stay matte but not flat" says NYX. I have to second them - this lovely little compact is all you need to keep concealer, sweat and oil at bay. It's great because it doesn't feel cakey at all on the skin (I mean, it might if you plaster it on like there's no tomorrow) but it still leaves you with room for your natural skin tone and colour to shine through. So yeah, no flatness.
RRP: £10
3. Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover
I have to admit that I've never tried anything like this eye make-up remover. It's a very, very light oil - almost like water - but putting in on my face I actually have to ask myself whether I have anything on the cotton wool pad! Fused with Iceland moss, the product is supposed to be soothing and hydrating, so great for sensitive skin. Obviously the eye area is incredibly sensitive anyway, but I think I'm starting to prefer this over heavy creams that end up bunging up my eyelids like glue.
RRP: £3.99
4. MAC Lipstick in 'Relentlessly Red'
How gorgeous is this new colour?! Relentlessly Red does sound quite powerful but in my opinion it is a mix of both red and hot pink - still incredibly sexy! I can imagine that this would be great on a lot of skin shades. It also has fantastic staying power - I managed to eat two sloppy fajitas in a very unladylike fashion and get away with no smudges!
RRP: £15.00
5. Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara
I know I'm a bit slow on the uptake with this (it's been raved about all over social media) but I actually got hold of this last Christmas and sort of forgot to do a blog post about it. Now, I already have pretty long eyelashes so I'm always on the look-out for mascaras that can accentuate them as much as possible, and this Benefit one certainly does the job. I have to admit that many times I did, indeed, tell people that 'they're real'. Lengthening and volumising - check. Oh, and minimal clumps.
RRP: £19.50
