Today I thought I’d talk about a few staple tools and products in my
beauty collection that I couldn’t be without!
First up is the Tweezerman Slant Tweezers. I got these in Boots last year and before that had been using
some from The Body Shop. Tweeezerman slightly edge it for me though! They are
so sharp and come in so many different prints and options such as the mini
versions and the pointed tweezers! I don’t actually use mine as much as I used
to since my beautician told me to stop tweezing between eyebrow threading
appointments but sometimes I can’t help myself and these get the job done
quickly and pull the hair out from the root first go!
I got a few Popbands in a beauty box way last year and haven’t looked
back since! They are so comfortable to wear in the hair, don’t snag and don’t hurt
to pull out! They come in so many different colours and prints so sorry mine is
a boring old black one but sometimes you can’t beat it! Day to day I wear my
hair down but I love these for the gym and for throwing my hair up in a bun
when I get in from work! They are lovely and stretchy but still hold my hair
tight without hurting it and don’t leave a kink when I take it out!
Primark Headband
This one sometimes goes hand in hand with my Popband as I couldn’t be
without these two when I’m doing a facemask! The Primark headband keeps any
flyaway hairs off my face so they don’t get covered in whatever facemask I’m
using!
I've had this for absolute years now and it’s amazing! It has two
different sized ends depending on the size of blemish or blackhead you want to
go to town on (nice) and with a little pressure on the area it extracts any
nasties under the skin! Obviously we all know you shouldn’t really squeeze or
pick at spots but this is better than using your fingers!
Louise Young LY22 Mascara brush
I got this last year to use as a brow brush and while at first I was a
little unsure of it as the handle is so long and slim I've soon come to love
it! It works really well to neaten my brows before I use my ABH Dipbrow Pomade
or a powder in them and is so easy to clean and dries really quickly as I find a
lot of these spoolie brushes can get filled with foundation from round my eyebrows
quite quickly! The only negative to this brush in particular would be that because
of the length it only just fits into my makeup bag that I take when I’m staying
over anywhere. Because of this I did have to do a bit of bending the brush head
before taking this photo to straighten it out but it came back into shape
quickly and felt sturdy so I wasn’t worried about it snapping! I also sometimes
use this brush to comb through my eyelashes if my mascara looks a little clumpy
to it’s a great multiuse product!
I upgraded to these when my usual No7 pair were feeling a bit loose
after years of abuse and if I’m completely honest I saw the “s” and though I
was buying the infamous Shu Uemura eyelash curlers! All was not lost though as
these are pretty good in their own right! I obviously can’t compare to the Shu
Uemura ones everyone raves about but these give me lots of curl and volume
ready for my mascara. I will sometimes blast them quickly with my hairdryer if
I want even more of a curl but I usually just start at the base of my eyelashes
and squeeze then move to the middle, squeeze again and do a final squeeze at
the tips of my eyelashes! No wonder my old ones got loose!
I don’t know where I’d be without this little pot of goodness! I have the
driest lips ever and a stick of lip balm is never far away when I’m about! I do
still get dry skin on my lips though and using this scrub every morning gets
rid of any flakes and gives me a great base to apply lipstick on smooth lips!
The pot looks tiny but you only need a little bit so it lasts for ages! I also
won another pot in the lovely Velvet Blush’s giveaway a few months back so I’m
sorted for a good while with one of my favourite products!
Have you got any of these products? Tell me what beauty tools and products
you’d be lost without!
