Products That Need More Hype

Products That Need More Hype
December was a busy month for me with it being my birthday, anniversary, Christmas, New Year and bits in between etc so fancy, formal make-up was used a lot throughout this month. Which gave me the idea to create a post all about make-up products that need more hype. 

Who knows where I get these crazy ideas from? Mainly when I am in the shower.

Witch Hazel Anti-Blemish Skin Clearing Primer (Now discontinued)
I have had this product for a good year and have not changed my primer since. This primer definitely needs more hype or a lot more people to try it! I have oily/combination skin so I do unfortunately suffer from hormonal spots. This primer promises to help stop those blemishes from appearing after wearing make-up all day. I do definitely 100% think this product has helped stop this happening! every time I wear make-up I have no problems with receiving those breakouts throughout the day. Definitely, think this primer does what it says, plus it is very moisturizing too.

Real Techniques Complexion Sponge
Don't get me wrong I love using RT make-up brushes to blend in my foundations and concealers but since September/October time I found myself using this little beauty. Now I would never imagine I would love a make-up sponge more than brushes but I do. When this first came out I saw loads of people review this so highly, but lately, I have noticed not many reviews or people speaking of this. I find this product amazing for blending in makeup, it especially gives your that higher end, juicy look. I also noticed my foundation looks a lot healthier when blending in with this. I love how flexible this product is and how the pointed corner can be used to dab in concealer. Which again I use for, concealer looks great blended in using this. Also, I find if you get dry skin in some areas on your face this sponge helps to avoid noticing the dry patches.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Primer
An eyeshadow primer isn't necessarily an essential product to have but it is definitely worth given a go. Throughout December I was using various eyeshadows and applied this primer on my lids beforehand. What I like about this primer is how great it is straight away, what I mean is I made a mistake on my eyelid so I decided to wipe it all off and start again and it was hard to budge off because the primer sunk in instantly. I noticed when using this my eyeshadow didn't go into the crease area after hours of wearing it and everything stayed in place.

HD Brows Bronzer
I was extremely happy when I received this in my September Glossybox last year! I have never/but always wanted to try HD Brows products. This product is great for a bronzer or for contouring your cheekbones. I preferably use this for my cheekbones more to add definition. I definitely think this product is worth the money, it just adds a lovely colour to your face (and I am fair!). It has the tiniest and I mean the tiniest amount of sparkle inside of it. Nothing noticeable but something that adds more to your face. It is very easy to apply and you only need a tiny amount on your brush.

MUA Mosaic Blush
This product is so pretty! I just love all the colours in this mosaic. It is a beautiful blush on your face especially if you are wanting multiple colours that aren't noticeable. It leaves a lovely glittery shine to your face as well nothing too dramatic but enough to give you a highlight. I notice when I wear this and get photos taken my cheeks just look healthy and glowy. Definitely give this a try!

BalmI lip Balm
For those who haven't heard or saw Balmi before, basically these are Boots/UK version of the EOS balms that America sell. I have both but always prefer the UK Balmi because of how moisturizing they are. I never see any reviews or people favoring these which is a shame because they are really good! very long lasting on the lips and have great moisture built in them. Definitely give them a go!


Rimmel Scandeleyes kohl liner - Nude

I got this just before Christmas and already I am loving it! I have saw a few reviews of the black version of this eyeliner but none on the nude. Now, I don't often wear black eyeliner on a daily basis so I decided to venture for a nude eyeliner that way the is something on my water line that just brightens up my eyes a little better on a daily basis. I didn't think i'd be as impressed as I was. People need to give this a try! it lasted all day and was a struggle to remove which just amazes me. And my eyes looked a lot more brighter and noticeable.


Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stains

Got a few of these lip stains and can honestly say I much prefer them to lipsticks in winter. Don't get me wrong I do love lipsticks but if you are wanting something long lasting and maybe a little more moisturizing I thought these did the trick. These were very popular last Summer I believe, but I still think they are amazing in winter. They are long lasting, moisturizing and have amazing colours. Definitely hunt one down and give them a go!

What make-up products do you think need more hype?
