Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to be
talking about products that are my beauty secret products. These are the
products that are my tried and true, I could not live without and these
products make a big difference in a little amount of time. What are your beauty
secret products?
Dry
Shampoo- Batiste
This stuff is a shower in a bottle! if you wake up late,
or your don't have enough time or you just want to go that extra day without
washing your hair but you have a greasy mess on your head. Dry Shampoo steps in
and becomes the saviour. All you do is spray throughout your hair, let it sit,
brush it out and if you need to rub it in and you then have refreshed, gorgeous
hair and the grease is gone. I also find this dry shampoo gives a good amount
of volume to the hair which is a bonus. Nobody will know you have not washed
your hair because your hair looks so clean and fresh.
Macadamia
healing treatment oil.
Using an oil for your hair is great for everyday, but
especially on the days you really need it. When I style my hair I do like to
add a little bit of the healing oil to my ends and whatever is left on my hand
I just smooth out the top of my hair but on days when I have gone that extra day
without washing obviously the top part of my head is greasy but the ends get
dry. So I use my dry shampoo then I take a pump of the Macadamia healing
treatment oil and smooth it on the ends of my hair. This softens my ends, adds
a shine, smooths and adds a lovely scent to my hair. I find having a good oil
that is going to treat and smooth and soften the hair is a beauty secret product!
Beauty
Blender sponge.
I am a beauty blender fan! I think it's the best tool to
use for make-up. I get it wet under running water, squeeze out the water and
dry it with a towel so it's a little bit damp. Then I like to blend out my
concealer. Using the beauty blender damp is going to take away any excess
product, give hydration to the under eye and it blends it out perfectly. I will
also use this sometimes to shear out foundation, so with the sponge being damp
if I apply my foundation it is going to shear out the foundation, and take away
the " cake face " look if you have gone a little too heavy handed. Another
way I like to use my beauty blender is to touch up my make-up during the day. I
like to press the beauty blender on the areas where my make-up has moved, or
settled and the beauty blender really does help and blend my make-up. I think
this little sponge really is perfect to creating flawless make-up.
Highlighter-
MUA undress your skin highlighter.
When I am doing my make-up apart from the eyes, I get so
excited when its time to pick out a highlighter to apply to my cheekbones,
nose, cupids bow, brow bone and chin. I think it's the glow, and luminosity a highlight gives just brings the
make-up to a beautiful finish. I do have my favourite highlighter which is Maryloumanizer
by the Balm but I wanted to talk about my new obsession and its very cheap. The
Mua undress your skin highlighter. It's a lightweight powder that transforms
your complexion with a beautiful, natural, glow. I think the secret to not
letting your skin look dull and dry looking is to apply a natural looking
highlight. This highlight gives such a pearl essence to the skin, and looks
very natural like your glowing from within and it looks as though your skin is very hydrated and healthy.

Earle Brightening Treatment Mask.
This mask is my secret to hydrated, brighter, healthier,
softer skin and the best part it can take up to 30 seconds or 2 minutes. This
mask brightens, softens and makes the skin radiant, glowing and clear. This
mask dries in super quick so if you have somewhere to go and you want your skin
to look healthy and brighter you can apply this before you start getting ready,
get your outfit ready, after 30 seconds or 2 minutes take a hot cloth and wipe
away the mask and you are left with super clean, refreshed, brighter,
healthier, smooth, clear and hydrated skin. This is my secret product that
makes such a difference in my skin very quickly. In my last post I reviewed this product along with other Liz Earle products.
Mario
Badescu Drying Lotion.
We all get them times when we wake up, look in the mirror
and what do we see? A pimple on our face!!!!! This is my secret to treating the
spot, hiding it and dealing with it quickly. The Mario Badescu Drying lotion is
amazing and everybody needs this, It is a zit zapper! It is an effective, acne
spot treatment that shrinks and treats whiteheads and pimples. This is more
effective as an overnight treatment but it works just as well in the day under
make-up. I apply a very thin layer of it onto the pimple and leave it to dry.
Then I can apply my make-up over it and you cannot see the drying lotion or the
pimple, it is completely hidden. If I apply this at night-time I like to apply
more of a thicker layer and leave it overnight, let it do its job and by
morning my spot is gone! No I am not joking, it is amazing and a beauty secret for sure!
OraBrush
Tongue Cleaner.
Bad breath! It is the most unattractive thing to have but
we all experience it and have to remove it! Did you know up to 90% of bad
breath comes from the odour generating residue on our tongues? So after brushing
and flossing I like to use my OraBrush tongue cleaner to make sure my breath is
completely fresh and any stinky bacteria that is on my tongue is gone. The
Orabrush removes residue, deep cleans the tongue loosening the bacteria. The soft
bristles on the brush reaches deep into the tongue grabbing every bit of
bacteria then at the end of the bristles is a scrapper to collect and remove
the residue and bacteria, curing the bad breath. I also have the Orabrush mild
mint tongue foam. The foam is to be used with the brush and it helps to leave
the mouth feeling refreshed, and protects the mouth from infections. I pump the
foam onto the brush and gently brush my tongue a few times back and forth, as
far back as I can go without gagging. I then bring the brush as far back as I
can and brush it forward to scrape and remove. Then I rinse with mouthwash and
my breath is so fresh and my mouth feels so much cleaner. Its the secret to
removing bad breath and keeping your mouth free from germs.
Collection
Nail bright instant whiter nails.
I have a secret to making my nails look whiter, brighter
and healthier. Sometimes when I have been wearing nail varnish my nails get
dull and not as white, and kind of stained looking. Even when I have gone a
long time without wearing nail varnish sometimes my nails can look dull and not
very healthy. I apply two coats of the Collection Nail bright and my nails look
whiter, brighter and the best part it looks so natural. No one would ever know
you have applied a nail varnish. This is such a must have for anyone who needs
to bring their nails back to life without anyone knowing you are using a
product. I also find this strengthens my nails and makes them grow much faster
but stronger.
That is my beauty secrets for this post. I hope you
enjoyed reading and most of all I hope something in this post was helpful to
you. Please let me know in the comments your products that you have as a secret
beauty product. Xxxx

DeleteBatiste is my life saver, it was recently on offer in Tesco's so I stocked up on a few bottles. Might give the oil a go too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! I agree, the dry shampoo is something we all need. And I would recommend using an oil for your hair because it really does make a difference. x
DeleteSo many great products here! I am a huge fan of the beauty blender - I find that Batiste can be hit and miss, I love the wild one but the plain one does nothing for me.
ReplyDeleteAw thank you and thank you for stopping by! I am glad your also a beauty blender fan- can't do without one! xX
DeleteAw thank you Tracy and thank you for stopping by! Really? what was your problem with dry shampoo? Batiste really is the best brand of dry shampoo so I would recommend it :-) Thank you for your support! xo
ReplyDeleteI like how you can get dry shampoo for specific hair colours. I just can't get along with any dry shampoos unfortunately and have tried a few. My hair always looks as grubby as before haha.
ReplyDeleteHair oil has been always saviour especially as I've been travelling in Australia and the weather's dried out my hair. As I don't have a hairdryer I always out the oil in on wet hair so it's all shiny and a soft when it dries.
