. DAILY BEAUTY COLLECTION .
It’s not that frequently that I write beauty posts, often when I do it’s a case of me sharing a new product I’ve discovered or something that i’m looking to try out. I’ve been thinking for a while that i’d share my day to day makeup collection with you. I’ve probably shared a few of these products in posts on my beauty page across the year (i’ve linked up the products to my previous reviews throughout), but i’ve never shared my beauty regime and the products which I use daily for work & daily life.
. DERMALOGICA PRIMER . CLINIQUE CITY BLOCK . BENEFIT HELLO FLAWLESS FOUNDATION .
. LAURA MERCIER TINTED MOISTURISER . PIXE FINISHING POWDER . NAKED PALETTE III . BENEFIT HOOLA .
. BENEFIT THEY’RE REAL MASCARA . SHU UEMERA EYELASH COLOURS . BOBBI BROWN SHIMMER BRICK .
First up, base! I start off with my Elemis cellular repair capsule which is really transforming my skin! Before I discovered this wonderful facial oil, I used to use standard moisturiser to give my face a bit of a hydration wakeup. Following moisturising I always use my Dermalogica skinperfect primer which I started to use after my skin started breaking out. I love this primer as it has a great coverage and gives a really great makeup base. If I’m not using my Dermalogica primer I will swap in my Clinique City Block primer which I like to use in the week when i’m tackling the tubes and hustle & bustle of the city.
For coverage I’ll use my Benefit Hello Flawless Foundation which I love as it’s got a great, natural looking coverage, but heavy enough to cover any pigments or dark marks. If i’m not going to work, or looking for something a little less fussy then I’ll use my Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. I tend to swap season by season, as we hit winter I like to go for a little more coverage with the foundation, versus Summer when i’ll go for the lighter Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser. I always finish my base with a touch of powder, i really love the Pixie flawless finishing powder as it’s really mattifying & gives a great finish to my foundation!
Following my base, i’ll add a tad of colour with my Hoola bronzer. I love Hoola as it gives you a great all over colour & doesn’t look fake or tango! In the winter I add a bit of contour with my Bobbi Brown shimmer brick and in the summer I tend to go for a MAC blusher to give a little rose kissed touch to my cheeks!
For Eyes I love a little shimmery eyeshadow and the Naked Palette III has been a firm favourite since I got this for my birthday back in April! If i’m not using my Naked Palette i’ll be using one of my Bobbi Brown eyeshadow palettes. I have a couple I alternate between but they all have a pinky, rose, gold shimmery undertone within them! I absolutely love Benefit’s ‘They’re Real’, and that’s been my go to mascara since they released it. Great for a jet black coverage & adds great volume when I team it with my Shu Uemera eyelash curlers.
In the week I’ll keep my lips natural, simply adding carmex throughout the day for hydration. As night falls or if i’m going out in the evening i’ll always add a dark red lip to transform my makeup from day to night. Chanel’s rouge allure lipstick in La Fascinate is a firm favourite of mine, if i’m not using this then i’ll be using my Diorific lipstick in Diva or MAC Ruby Woo.
So there you have it, my everyday beauty collect & regime. Do you use any of the same products? What are your daily favourites?
I’m so envious of your makeup collection! If only I could go stock up on so much Benefit and Bobbi Brown! I’ve always used blush all year round but this year I’ve switched to contouring for winter because it goes with the rest of the looks. I love the naked palettes, I only have a couple of dupes at the moment but one day!
I used to wear the benefit foundation too, but when I ran out I was not doing so well in the pocket money department, so I switched to bourjois happy light, and I think it’s even better!

I love the NAKED 1 Palette, and now I’m using more of my MAC Studio Fix fluid and warmer lipsticks such as Chanel Rouge Coco Mademoiselle and MAC Russian Red.
