What I'm Using Right Now

I have decided to take up lollipop26's offer of copying this post. I really enjoy reading them as you can find brands and products you'd never heard of before, or perhaps bypassed them because you didn't know enough about them. Plus I've never done one before...

Shampoo: Herbal Essences Fresh Balance Clarifying Shampoo. The scent is icy pineapple and it smells amazing. Me and the boy both use this and it stops my hair getting dirty too quickly as I touch my barnet a lot and use a fair amount of product.

Conditioner: As above - they where 2-4-1 so I got it to try and find it helps to control my hair without weighing it down.

Styling products: Elnette Flexible Hold hairspray all day everyday. Lee Stafford Poker Straight Night Patrol spray...smells divine! I actually use this on curly/hair and it works just as well (when I'm feeling particularly lazy I'll curl my hair in the evening, spray it, go to bed and wake up with soft waves in the morning). My desert island hair product is Batiste dry shampoo to add volume as well as extend the time between washes (like I said I touch my hair a lot) - I'm currently using the Diva fragrance which is oriental and the least chemically smelling one I've tried.

Shower Gel: Imperial Leather Bitter Lemon & Ginger - I like zingy smells to wake me up in the morning.

Body moisturiser: I have a few pots and bottles but don't use a body moisturiser everyday.

Deodorant: Dove cream stick.

Fake Tan: Oil of Olay Everyday Sunshine is my regular one but I planning on getting a mit and re-trying St Moritz.

Cleanser: Clean & Clear facewipes and toner

Exfoliator: I tend to use men's ones as they are less creamy and I often find that women's ones have less particles. I'm currently using a Boots Age Defying one coupled with the occasional steal of the boy's Toni & Guy.

Primer: Don't use it.

Foundation brush: My fingers.

Concealer: My Face Cosmetics cream concealer No111 from the Fair section. This is a really great concealer - smooth, creamy texture that blends into foundation really well to create a seamless look.

Powder: ELF Transclucent Powder - I was worried that this woule actually go on orange when I first saw it but I love it. The packaging withstands the bumps of my handbag (unlike other powders which have fallen to pieces) and the product lasts and last. Unlike others I only need to apply this in the morning and then at lunch. It's also lasting very well to say you don't get a huge amount.

Blusher: Currently flicking between ELF's Shy (soft mauve pink) and Glow (bright coral) though would probably only re-purchase the first as Glow doesn't seem to last very long on the skin.

Bronzer: ELF Golden Bronzer...I am in love with this product. I use it all over applied with a big powder brush then use a contourer to define my cheekbones by applying the shades seperately. I also use the lightest colour as an eyeshadow.

Highlighter: ELF All Over Colour Stick in Lilac Petal - a great multi-purpose product with that lovely ELF scent of Sugar Orange (I plan on getting the other three colours in this very soon and am bummed that the US site has two new colours that aren;t available in the UK yet!).

Eyeshadow base - I just use a little of my My Face Cosmetics foundation on my eyelids to keep my shadown in place (FAIR_01).

Eyeshadows: At the moment I'm using ELF's Pink Ice as an all over wash on the lid with Moondust worked into the crease and blended with a contouring brush. I also use Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Beige and Mahogany on a regular basis. For colour I use one of two Urban Decay palettes and for a rich eye I plump for Barry M Dazzle Dust in Rust (though I also have Chocolate, Oyster Grey and a Limited Edition Lilac).

Eyeliner: Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen in Black.

Curler: A cheap pair from H&M...these are the only ones I've ever found that actually curl my lash properly.

Mascara: Prestige My Biggest Lashes in Very Black - I like how it gives amazing volume without looking clumpy.

Lipstick: ELF's Peaches for everyday or when my lips feel dry, Revlon's Cherries in the Snow for the wow factor, Barry M's Lip Paints in 101 Marshmallow, 100 Baby Pink, 73 Mulberry and 147 Peachy Pink.

Lipgloss: Don't use it, I prefer a stained or matte lip.

Nail Colour: Mainly Barry M in my collection - favourites are 115 Red Black, 295 Turquoise, 276, Mulberry Pink, 303 Bright Purple, 279 Bright Pink, 273 Raspberry, 262 Bright Red, 292 Navy, 119 Baby Pink and 129 Chocolate Brown.
