5 Products Worth the Hype

Soap & Glory Solar Powder - £11
I had heard many Youtubers rave about this so I thought I should give it a go and I'm so glad I did! One half is a shimmery paler bronzer which would give you more of a glow and the other half is matte so could be used for contouring or a more natural bronzed look. I also love to mix both shades together to make my skin look more naturally sunkissed. I'm not the best at contouring/bronzing but although this product is nicely pigmented, it is still quite hard to overdo it so it's really easy to build it up subtly. My only criticism would be the packaging, however they have just redesigned this so it is now the same as the One Heck Of A Blot with sturdy plastic packaging.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze £4.99
When the hype first came about surrounding this product I was a bit apprehensive because it seemed like quite a dark shade which I didn't think would be good for me as I was only just starting out with eyeshadow so was mostly going for barely-there looks. However it's actually really wearable for the daytime and can be easily worn more sheer for a wash of colour or built up to be more intense. It blends really well with other eyeshadows and lasts all day. It's so easy to apply as well - no brushes needed!

Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain in Honey - £7.99
I really struggle to be adventurous with lip colours as I've mentioned in previous posts, so when I heard this was a great MLBB product I was instantly drawn to it! Despite being balm-like in texture it's actually got great pigmentation and lasts really well. I love the mint scent it has and that it is twist up so no need for sharpening. All-in-all my favourite lip product and great for an everyday look.

Urban Decay Naked Palette - £38
I was definitely late on the bandwagon with this one - I only picked it up at the end of last year but I have to say it is probably the best investment I have made beauty-wise. It really is just as good as everyone says. The colour selection is perfect, the shades are beautifully pigmented and sososo easy to blend. Some people aren't fans of the packaging but personally I love it - it feels so luxurious! It may seem expensive but the brush it comes with is worth around £15 meaning each eyeshadow only costs around £2.30 so it's actually pretty good value for money! Having said that there are some great dupes around so if you can't afford to splash out definitely go for one of those instead. If you have the money I would say buy it ASAP because they keep putting the price up by a pound every so often.

Sudocrem £2.99
Ok so this is a bit of a random one but I've heard many bloggers/Youtubers swear by this for getting rid of spots and I definitely do too. I had tried many different spot treatments over the years, including more pricey ones, but none ever worked so I gave this a go and it worked wonders! There's definitely a nack to applying it (rub it in well but so you can still see it on the skin) I like to apply it over night. In the morning I can clearly see that my spots have significantly reduced in redness and size - all thanks to a really affordable product!

Thank you for reading!
