My go-to basic products

I love this eyeshadow because even though it’s a neutral colour, it has a gorgeous shimmer through it which really makes my eyes pop. I had never heard of Emité until recently when I got this eye-shadow as a sample in an order of Glossybox (glossybox.co.uk) and now I can’t get enough of their products!

This waterproof mascara is excellent for anyone whose lashes are naturally straight. Mine tend to stick out from my lid and are difficult to curl. Throw away those false lashes ladies!! I can only put the magic of this product down to the curved wand (you use one side to lengthen, and the other to fan the lashes out and give them a curl). I still always use a lash curler before applying mascara, for that extra curl!  I’ve had this one by QVS for at least 10 years and it’s as good as new. I think it was about €5.00 but can’t remember where I got it!

I suffer with dry lips and the only product that gives long-lasting moisture is Carmex lip-balm. This comes in 2 flavours, classic and cherry. I recommend the cherry as the classic is an “acquired taste”! Use throughout the day, or just before bed to give overnight moisture.
