Friday Favourites!


Hey guys! Just super quick favourties from me this week since I haven't done one in while! 
First up is the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. I've been using this powder for years (around twelve to be exact!) and have never felt the need to switch or even try anything else. It's light, it sets my foundation well and it's affordable. This one is always a favourite.


Linking nicely from the powder is the Real Techniques Powder Brush - this brush is around £12.99, so not the cheapest but it picks the powder up well and I find it's the perfect size to apply the powder to my face.

Next is the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub. If I'm honest, I bought this because the scent reminded me of Snow Fairy but it sat in my drawer for ages and ages without me using it. I recently dug it out again and I've been using it frequently. Does it do anything? Who knows really but it smells amazing and does feel good on the lips, so I can call it a favourite, right? ;)

 Lastly is the Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange perfume - I got mine from America but I have seen the odd one sitting in random places in Tesco, although I've never actually seen a spot for them on the shelves. Anyway, when first applied this has an odd scent but once it's had a few minutes to sit on your skin it has a beautiful citrus-y/sweet scent which isn't something I would typically go for but I really like this. I just which it wasn't in a roller-ball form because I find that a paint to apply. 

What have been your favourites recently?

    I just adore the Real Techniques brushes, some of them may not be cheap, but they surely are the best quality! Also, Rimmel Stay matte is all kinds of awesome, my favourite powder, along with the Soap&Glory One Heck of A Blot xx

    Ahhh great picks, I love the stay matte powder and I bought the lip scrub from lush the other day I'll be honest the price put me off but after using it a few days I realised that it will last quite a while. Great post. xox

      I was the same with the price but you're right, you use such a small amount at a time that it will last forever!

    Haha I did the exact same thing with my lip scrub! I've only fished it out of my make up drawer since I've been reading a lot of posts about it lately which reminded me I even had it! It does smell good :) not sure that it makes a huge difference to my dry lips mind!!

    I love the Rimmel stay matte powder - I have the transparent one! I also have that real techniques brush and couldn't recommend it enough :)

    The Stay Matte powder is my go to when I will be taking pictures or when I'll be outside for the whole day; it works great! My favorite recently has been my beauty blender, such a dream!

      Aw, you should try them! They do a mint one which I also really liked, although a lot of people seem to prefer the popcorn one. They also do limited edition ones when they bring out new collections (like with their V-Day release).

    Lush's Bubblegum scrub is one of my staples! So lovely. And on days when I want something salty-sweet I go for the Popcorn scrub. mmmmm

    I only use their lip scrub now and again but I always love it when I do. I do think it could be quite easily with a bit of sugar and oil though so I'm not sure I'd re-purchase!

      Exactly, I think the same thing. It wouldn't have the amazing smell that this one has but I think it would do the same job.

    I need to repurchase my lip scrub as it went out of date (yup I had it for that long!), lovely favourites :)

    I use both the lip scrub and the stay matte powder and love them both too much. They are regular repurchases for me. One of my favourite things this month has to be my Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter, I love it! :)

      They definitely last for ages, which I feel like is going to make it even sadder when it's finally gone!

    That powder and the real techniques brush are such make up classics. This is the second favourites I have seen with the lush bubble gum lip gloss which I am a little bit tempted to try. :P
