Although I change my products on a regular bases there are certain products that I always find myself reaching for regardless of season or weather.

Soap&Glory Hand Food – £5.50

Normally I am awful at putting hand cream on but this stuff is amazing and I have tubes of this everywhere – handbag, desk, bathroom etc. It’s the original scent which is one of my favourites and leaves your hands feeling silky and moisturising without that greasy feeling.

Seventeen Brows That Brow Kit! – £5.99

My brows although I love them they always need a little bit of order in their life and this inexpensive kit from Seventeen does the trick. Complete with pencil, wax, powder and highlight you can be as high or low maintenance as you want.

Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream – £11.00

Moisturiser is a key step in my morning routine and this beauty from Body Shop is perfect for dry skin girls, it adds moisturise back into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It has a super fresh scent which leaves me feeling refreshed.

Carmex Strawberry Lip Balm – £1.65

Lip balms come and go but I always go back to Carmex, it’s super moisturising, tastes good and doesn’t dry up.

MAC Painterly Paint Pot – £15.50

I love this stuff, perfect for no make up make up looks its smoothes the eye lid and gets ride of any discolouration as well we prepping the lids for any shadow that you want to apply. Painterly is the perfect shade for pale skinned girls.

The top drawer of my make-up storage is dedicated to all the beauty tools and essentials that I use everyday, not always the most beautiful or interesting things but essential none the less.

One thing that I can’t live without are these Cosmetics Buds with a pointed and a flat end they are perfect for sorting out make-up slip ups without having to re-start the whole face. Other tools I like to have on hand include a large supply of cotton pads, my Eylure Lash Applicator which is great for helping position the lashes and my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge my go to tool for concealer, cream blusher and contouring.

Skin care is constantly revolving in this drawer and some lives in the bathroom however a constant tenant is my Nivea Express Hydration Primer, I cannot live without this primer moisturiser hybrid. Currently when not wearing make-up and I just want moistusier I am using the Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream, this is great for dry skinned girls and soaks in super fast without leaving a greasy feeling. Clinique eye creams are my personal favourite and the Clinique Repairwear is my go to morning eye cream it tightens and smoothes and gets my under eyes ready for concealer.

I also have the Garnier Softening Cleansing Lotion, just in case there are any traces of make-up from the night before. Another product that doesn’t get used very often but resides in the tool drawer is the Soap&Glory Dr Spot; I am very lucky that I am blessed with rather good skin – other than its dryness and so spots often only plague me during stressful times. Dr Spot helps bring the spot to the surface and helps them fade quickly and effeciantly. My current lip balm of choice is the Carmex Strawberry Lip Balm which I apply before whatever lip product I am using.
