Happy Mothers Day!

My mum has always been interested in beauty products. We recently chatted about her favourite products.

So I will pass over to mum who will give you the low down on her best buys..

Estee Lauder Daywear Sheer Tint Release Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Moisturizer SPF15 50ml    

I have been using this product for two years now. 
The tint is really light in texture and blends easily into the skin. I love the fact the tint develops to my skin tone, so no orange tangoed look which makes me feel confident whenever I wear this product, which is generally during the week for work.
With a refreshing cucumber smell and lovely glow is achieved with a little going a long way. 
The tint costs £37.00 but lasts me a long time. 
Not just a tint for the summer but all year round this can be used! A healthy sheen with good coverage for fine lines or dull skin.    



Anastasia Brow Wiz

Kimberley recommended this pencil to me and the Cult Beauty website, which I totally love.
I feel the pencil defines my brows without looking too harsh. A really fine pencil which means you can create realistic brow hairs and shape your brows to your chosen shape.
A long lasting product with good staying power, I apply this in the morning and its still there at the end of my working day.
I draw on my brows then use the brush on the opposite end to blend in the pencil. Really easy to use!
Priced at £15.50, a keeper in my makeup bag.

Laura Mercier Lipstick

I do love the Laura Mercier range and can be found having a little nosey around the nearest Space NK shop in my lunch break.
I have been using this lipstick now for a couple of years. Picked it up on a little shopping spree in the above mentioned shop with Kimberley.
I like the face that it is moisturising but long lasting. I only have to reapply after a couple of cups of coffee.
The colour looks darker in the picture but once on it gives a subtle hint of rouge.



Astral Moisturiser

I have been using this face moisturiser now for 15 years! It is a lightweight cream that just does the job. My skin feels moisturised all day, once applied it soaks in quickly leaving no greasy residue.
I actually could not live without Astral, I have not found a moisturiser that compares, either they are too light or too heavy.
With a slight hint of a smell, I would describe it as a refreshing smell which does not linger.
A bargain at £1.49, I prefer to buy the small tub myself as a fresh pot every 3-4 months just adds to buying this lovely product.
Astral can be purchased in most places, which again is definitely a plus point for me!



Happy Mothers Day!
