YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE | BEAUTY TAG

I saw that the lovely Rebecca from Autumn Leaves did this tag a bit ago which I thought would be a fun tag to do, all though hard at the same time but here are my answers.

Low End Brand - How hard is it to pick only one brand? For me it has to be Rimmel though there foundations, nail polishes, blushers and lipsticks are amazing and I would be pretty happy if I could only have make-up from this brand.

High End Brand - Again very hard to choose but for me it would have to be Mac another lover of there foundation and they have a range of everything I would be happy if I could only shop there too.

Primer - Very bad beauty blogger of me but I don't always prime, I use Mac studio cream moisturiser every morning at the minute and it works amazing as a primer! Review coming soon but I do like Benefits Porefessional for my nose,

Foundation/BB Cream/Tinted Moisturiser - Foundation is so hard to choose one as I have two ultimate faves but the one I wear daily is the Rimmel 25 hour it is medium to full coverage, flawless finish and lasts all day and night! BB cream I have been loving lately is the Maybelline Pure BB cream, it covers my redness and imperfections slightly and light to medium coverage, I never usually like BB creams but I am loving this for summer as its light weight and doesn't feel like anything on the skin. I never wear tinted moisturisers so couldn't comment on an only one for that. 

Concealer - What do you think? Obviously Collection lasting perfection.. duh!

Bronzer - I have recently just purchased Benefits Hoola and loving it but if I could only have one, it would have to be my Bare Minerals in Faux tan, perfect for contouring or bronzing to give you that summer glow and not muddy looking at all.

Blush - I am a massive cream blush kinda girl now and the one I reach for the most is the So Susan 8 hour stain cream blush, it doesn't have a shade name as there is only one but it lasts all day and gives you rosy cheeks to make your cheeks pop and look pretty.

Powder - I only really need powder in the summer and the only one I use is the Rimmel Stay Matte powder, again how original of me?

Setting Spray - I only have one and it's the Mac+ fix but I am not overly keen if you have any recommendations I would love to know in the comments below.

Eyebrow Product - I am such a noob when it comes to brows, I just pay for them to be done with some tint and occasionally powder them, the powder I use daily is the W7 brow bar for under £5 it does the job and I love it, I would love some product recommendations for noobs like myself though?

Eyeshadow/Palette - Naked 2 is my go to palette I adore it so much being a massive fan of nudes, creams and browns but I have recently bought a Charlotte Tilbury palette so who knows it could be in winner spot soon!

Eyeliner - I only ever wear liquid eyeliner on the top and I have adored using the Maybelline Black Shock gel eyeliner it stays put for hours, super easy to apply and I am pretty sure it is pretty much a dupe for the new Benefit one.

Mascara - I have two favorites again but my most reached that never lets me down is the Maybelline The Collosal volum' express, intense black that gives you wow lashes, volume and lengthening. 

Lipstick/Lipgloss/Balm - If I only had one lipstick? Are you kidding me, this is most probably the hardest question of them all, you can't do this to a girl aha. But I absolutely adore my new YSL lipstick and would be pretty happy only having that one but £25 is quite pricey to keep repurchasing so it would have to be the Bourjois Rouge edition Velvet lipsticks, they come in a range of fab colours and longevity is amazing. Ligloss would have to be the Lancome lip lover, these have converted me back to lipgloss I don't ever wear lipgloss anymore unless I am after a glossy finish on top of a lipstick but the lip lovers are very opaque, moisturing and come in gorgeous shades and for lip balm it would have to be my EOS one. 

Nail Polish - If I could only pick one brand it would have to be Barry M they do nail poish to the T, every shade imaginable, any finish you fancy and so affordable! They don't chip easily like most either and they look super cute stacked up in a row.

Beauty Tool -  Any Real techniques brush I would be pretty pleased with but my ultimate favorite for doing my foundation with is the expert face brush, blends out beautifully, gives my skin a flawless finish and so easy to use.

The One and Only Tag

A post that I was tagged in by the lovely Jessica Hunter over at Coffee&Cosmetics.
The One & Only Tag

A tag about beauty products that I couldn't live without if I had to choose one of them there is just one question and that is,

If you could only have one ____ what would it be and why?

Primer;

I am a massive fan of the Nivea moisturiser with primer inside but for hiding blemishes at its best I couldn't live without my Benefit POREfessional primer. I got my sample size in a Benefit face set and I love the silky like texture to the pro balm so light weight that once you've rubbed it all over your face you can't even feel it that much. It also contains Vitamin E and protects your skin from free radicals. It helps minimize my pores on those bad blemish days.

Base Product;

The foundation that I have loved from the minute I brought it has been MAC Studio Sculpt foundation in the shade NW20. I love a long wearing medium to full coverage foundation and this one ticks those boxes. Plus I have combination skin more on the dry side and this glides over so smoothly and and I think the gel base helps my dry areas and it feels so luxurious. It's very hydrating and it makes my skin feel alive and soft. I apply this with my Real Techniques expert face brush and it blends in lovely onto the skin, matches my skin tone perfectly. This and Rimmel 25 hour stay are my absolute favorites but if I had to choose one I'd defiantly choose this one.

Blusher;

All throughout the summer I have been loving cream blushes! I don't know if there best used in the summer or all year round but I've only been dabbling with cream blushes for a couple of months. A huge favorite of mine has been the Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Coral Reef. A beautiful coraly pink blusher that would compliment any skin tones cheeks. You only need the tiniest bit dabbed onto your cheeks as it is super pigmented and lasts a good couple of hours. This is a staple in my make up bag and perfect if you've forgotten your blusher brush you can use your fingers. I will be branching out to new shades of these also to add to my blusher collection.

Highlighter;

My day to day highlighter that I use is MUA's Undress your skin shimmer highlighter a subtle shine over your cheek bones, brow bone and cupids bow that gives a lovely shine to my skin to give me a subtle lovely glow. It feels so soft and I love the swirly pattern to the product I've had this a while and only use the tiniest bit so I think this will last me a long while. For £3 I really couldn't fault this product I love it.

Eyebrow Product;

Another MUA product, there so low in price but such good quality, you can't fault them! My favorite eyebrow product has to be there Pro Brow Kit. Its a small enough palette to fit into your handbag/make up bag and great for on the go with two eye brow shades, a highlighting shade for your brow bone but its far too dark for mine and a fixing gel to keep those brows intact throughout the day amonst two little tools, tweezers and an eyebrow brush I don't tend to use these but there great for on the go. Since I went blonde as well I thought I can't use this but the lightest shade works perfectly to match my hair colour. A great palette I think and great price!

Mascara;

This is easy for me! My absolute favorite mascara that I have never come across anything better before has to be Yves Rocher Sexy Pulp ultra volume mascara. Everything about it is perfect! Honestly go out and buy it now I couldn't recommend it enough to you all. It doesn't clump, it volumises, it just makes your lashes look amazing. The wand just hugs to your lashes just please try it out! I'm sure you will love it as much as I do. I'm running out so will have to repurchase this ans I shall always repurchase this! 

Concealer;

Vichy Dermablend Ultra - Corrective Cream Stick in Porcelain. This concealer is the best thing in the world! I have a sample of all different shades that have all worked on my skin when I've had fake tan and not. Porcelain is an amazing shade for under your eyes to make them look vibrant and alive and really brings them out. And the other shades to fit your individual skin tone really does help cover your blemishes its fantastic stuff! I'm defiantly picking this up in full form soon.

Powder;

I'm not a huge powder fan as it makes me look cakey as it clings to all my dry areas I've tried numerous powders and numerous techniques it's just not for me. But when I do use the smallest bit I always go back to Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. 

Bronzer;

A bit of a cheat with this as the bronzer I love is infact a powder blush but its far too dark for my skin tone to use as blusher so I use it as a bronzer and I love it so much I've hit pan on it and will need to do a repurchase. It gives a great definition to your cheek bones and inner nose a gorgeous colour MAC Powder Blush in Sincere. 

Make Up Brush (Single);

This would have to be my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, even though my puppy kindly chewed the handle it's still in tact thankfully but will need replacing as it has seen better days. But this puts my foundation on perfectly I adore this brush along with all of my Real Techniques brushes there all amazing. Sam Chapman your amazing.

Eye shadow; 

Without a doubt my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette I really could not live without this! Every single shade in there I love and would wear any shade any day. A gorgeous array of creams, nudes, browns, shimmers, mattes and great for a smoky eye effect well worth the money. I'm sure almost every beauty blogger out there has this already though.

Eyeliner;

I have only been using this a short while but also loving this quickly it is just so easy to apply onto your eyelids with just one little stroke. Its the Eyeko London Skinny Mini Black liquid eyeliner. A staple in my bag now and review coming soon.

Lipgloss;

I don't know if this classes as a lip gloss as its a lip lacquer but it feels and looks like a lip gloss and these are fab! The Rimmel london Apocalips Lip Lacquers in shade Celestial. I love the product and the shade. So easy to apply they go on very wet but dry instantly and look so lovely and glossy on your lips.

Lipstick;

Maybelline Colour Sensational Vivid Lipstick has been my favorite lipstick in the shade Shocking coral. A gorgeous bright pink coral colour almost neon. Not only is the colour gorgeous it has fantastic lasting power! This has lasted throughout the day and night for me and I really do need to get more shades from this range. If you love good lasting power you really will love these. You can't beat a bright lipstick to make your face complete although I do love a nudey pink. 

Hope you liked my answers some are the same as my lovely friend who tagged me in this but what can I say we have great taste!
