My dailies #2 - Base make-up

Bonjour!

Well time for part 2 of my dailies. These are the products I pretty much use every day for my base. 

1 - Benefit Dr Feelgood Complexion Balm - £22.50 - While you can use this as a primer before makeup I prefer to use it throughout the day on my t zone when it gets a little oily. The packaging is ah-mazing - as is all packaging from Benefit - and it smells lovely and citrus-y too. Definitely one to keep in a handbag at all times!

2 - Soleil Tan De Chanel - Bronze Universel Bronzing Makeup Base - £31 - On the rare times I have a legit tan this bronzer is my saviour. It has a thick creamy texture so when I do have a tan I use it instead of foundation. It goes quite far too so even though it is pricey it should last a long time. The colour is a really beautiful natural bronze so you can wear a little bit for a subtle glow or more for a more golden tan colour. It is also good as a body bronzer as it goes so far.

3 - NARS Botan Kabuki Brush - £56 - My most coveted brush! It's made from goat hair so it feels super soft on the skin. I use it mostly for applying bronzer onto my body. Bit pricey but seriously worth it!

4 - NARS Loose Powder - £26.50 - I absolutely adore this powder. I seriously have been through so many as I love a loose powder finish over my foundation I just think it makes your skin look flawless. The last one I had was the Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre which was lovely but oh am I glad I bought this! There are so many colours to choose from which is good as I sometimes struggle finding a colour that doesn't make me look like a ghost or look too orange, I chose the shade "Flesh" which I think is the second lightest. It has a really nice texture, gives a nice natural finish and just adds an extra oomph to the complexion. You can also wear it on it's own and it still makes skin look fabulous (even on those sundays with hair in a bun, joggers and a hangover :p)

5 - Illamasqua Concealer - £13 - I use this concealer on my blemishes mostly. I sometimes mix it together with my Nars duo concealer in Honey and Vanilla which makes the perfect colour for me. It has a really nice texture and stays on all day too. 

6 - Illamasqua Light Liquid Foundation - £27 - I'm not really one for heavy thick foundations and have loved it since BB creams have been coming in. This foundation has a bit more coverage than a BB cream but is still lovely and light on the skin. I got it in the Illamasqua sale not long ago for a bargain £15 which only makes me love it more :)

7 - Illamasqua Hydra Veil - £27 - Ever since I saw this on a beauty blog back in April I knew I had to have it. It has the most wonderful texture ever - like a jelly which you can mash up with the little provided spatula and a minute later it is lovely and smooth again! It does what it says on the tin - keeps your skin hydrated all day long. It is supposed to be amazing with Illamasqua's Skin Base foundation but I haven't had the pleasure of trying that yet unfortunately. Definitely one for summer underneath foundation as it feels so cool on the skin. Love love love it :)

8 - Clinique Powder Brush - £22 - The brush I use with my loose powder. It picks up the right amount of powder and feels nice and gentle on the skin.

Right - have one last dailies post coming up with all my little bits of makeup :D

Hope you enjoyed
