My Top 10 Must-Haves!

I am quite a drugstore-savvy person when it comes to my beauty products, I rarely ever use high-end brands and when I buy them, they just sit there and look pretty #studentproblems...


Anyway, over the years I've tried various different products and these are the ones I've learnt I cannot live without and will definitely buy again once they have ran out!


Ever since I was 15 and started having an interest in make-up I always rocked the cat-eye liquid liner, I have always been quite a liquid eye-liner fanatic! However back then I was jobless so I was on the look-out for super affordable make-up and I stumbled across this beauty. Now 4 years on I still use it as my go to product for liquid liner, I've tried gel liners, pen liquid liners, etc but none of them have lived up to this. I find it so easy to apply unlike the pen liquid liners and once it's dried it doesn't leave black rings around your eyes like the gel eye-liners do. It's long lasting as well, very rarely has it rubbed off by the end of the day. Definitely would give this a 10/10!

2. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
All I can say really is this is my favourite drugstore foundation. I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I've been using this ever since I started caring more about my eyebrows, I have always shaped them but now they're one of the things I focus on most when doing my make-up. It's a simple pencil, you draw over your eyebrow how you see fit, you don't need to use a lot of this to define your brows but it most definitely makes a difference. Now I have used other eyebrow products, I use this hand in hand with the powder in my Barry M Eyebrow kit, I shall most likely do another blog post to show just how easy using the two together is!
    Like I said above I use this hand in hand with the Rimmel Eyebrow pencil, the powder is light and subtle so your eyebrows don't look blocky and chunky. I recommend eyebrow kits in general as you have the powder, gel and the skin coloured bit to neaten up the outside! I think this is best if you're just looking to darken your eyebrows, but if you're like me and are adding shape to your 'brows then to get that defined look a pencil for the outline is vital in my own opinion!

    For years I seemed to always have them crappy little red pencil sharpeners you get from Christmas crackers in my make up bag (surely I'm not the only one, and how the heck did I even end up with them!?) anyway, regardless of the sharpener I used it was always, ALWAYS a challenge to sharpen any of my pencils, chunks would come out and clog the sharpener, preventing much further sharpening from happening. Complete pain in the arse, right!? So about a year ago I thought it would be a good idea to try the Barry M duo sharpener as it was only like £2, I have never been so impressed with a sharpener! It is soooooo easy to use! Very rarely have any of my pencils clogged the sharpener and even on the rare occasions it has, the sharpener comes a little grey stick making it a million times easier to un-clog. I have recommended it to literally everyone that would listen #ihavealifeiswear

    I am pretty positive that at some time or another everyone has owned this mascara, it always reminds me of when I was 14/15, my Mum used to buy this mascara and I would very often borrow it from her. It's a brilliant and affordable mascara, it does the job adding volume and length to your eyelashes, it doesn't clump when applying. Even though the packaging is quite standard I really love the use of colours, it really makes it stand out in my make-up bag.

    This is quite a new find of mine, but has instantly become a must-have. These disposable H&M lint rollers are only 99p each and they come with very pretty patterns to choose from! If you have any pets, this is brilliant to get any fur off your clothes before going out, as it's normally such a hassle to get it off you! I know personally that if I visit my Mums where she has a cream Labrador I normally leave the house with a white furry layer on my clothes!

    This is another product I have been using since I first gained an interest in make-up, out of all the pencil eye-liners I have used this one is the best by far. The black is very visible without having to use it multiple time, it lasts so much longer than other pencil eye-liners and doesn't make you look like a panda within an hour of having worn it.

    I discovered these beauty's a few years ago, honestly bought them because they're pink and they're prettier than the standard pair of exploitation gloves... But they work just as well as any other pair, my skin feels absolutely amazing when having used these in the bath then followed by a moisturiser! They've become a part of my routine and I would be so lost without them. Bought them multiple times, the pink is just a bonus..

    10. Soap and Glory Foam Call
    The reason this is the only Soap and Glory product (other than the exploitation gloves) that I've mentioned in this list is because of how long lasting it is!! I have had the same bottle for SOOO long, all the others I have bought have come and gone but this has lasted AGES! And it smells absolutely amazing! Well worth the money!

    I realised I haven't put any hair products in this at all... I literally have too many hair products I love to simply choose one of them! I really couldn't put my finger on just one...
