6 Products I Cant Live Without | Tag

These are my 6 products that I cant live without, I don't honestly know whats I'd do without these products they all work so well for me. I'm not saying these products will work well for everyone, as everyone it different, but these all well for me, and I'd definitely recommend them.


The first product is my first, and I'd have to say all time best products I've ever bought. This is the 'Garnier Pure Active Exfo-Brusher Wash' I use this every night and occasionally in the morning if my skin is acting up. 


This brush claims says it removes any dead skin cells, helps fight spots and fades marks. It also claims to show results from day 1 of use. I agree with these statements and if I didn't use this product my skin would definitely be a lot worse than how it is now.

The product contains salicylic acid, which is the concentration that helps clears pores and protect you skin against spots. When looking for spot treatments see in the ingredients if it contains salicylic acid, as this does really help spot prone skin. 


My second product is the 'TRESemme split remedy. I've had this product for quite a long time, and I apply it too the ends of my hair every time I wash my hair. I've found this has improves the appearance of my hair's split ends as well as making the ends of my hair stronger and healthier.


This product is a white cream based formula making it easy to apply because it doesn't drip. You can get the leave in treatment or wash out of this product, I prefer the leave in treatment because I find it works better because it stays on your hair making it react for a longer duration of time.

This treatment claims to leave an 80% reduction in split ends after 3 uses, and I again would agree with this statement. I would even get compliments on my hair about the thickness and healthiness of it, and I would absolutely say its because of this product. 


Third surprise, surprise... my all time favorite concealer, the Collection Ever Lasting Perfection concealer' I've raved about this product quite a bit, but I do suffer from blemishes as I do have sensitive skin, and horrible dark circles because I have to wake up early for college *blegh*. However this product helps a huge amount, the coverage of this product is astounding, and because the coverage is so amazing I hardly ever wear foundation anymore, just a touch up using this, and your good to go!


I am the shade 'medium 3' for this concealer and as you can see its a perfect match. Unfortunately this concealer only comes in 4 different shades, so you may struggle to find one that matches your skin, but if you can I would definitely say to purchase it because its really helped my skin as I've felt confident to wear this with no foundation.


My forth product you might consider a bit of a cheat as I've chosen a brand rather than a product, but the Real Techniques brushes are amazing, that I think I may prefer them to any other brush I've ever tried. They just blend product into your skin so flawlessly and it leaves such a beautiful finish. 

I sadly only own the expert face brush, (which you can see a review of HERE) and the shading brush (which I used to create a smokey eye look as you can see HERE). But I am really hoping to expand my collection so let me know which other brushes I should buy if you've tried them, or which ones you'd like to purchase


Fifth I have my Carmex lip balm, which I purchased at Primark! These lip balms are the best ones I've tried and trust me, I've tried a lot. This lip balm isn't amazing for the smell as most that I buy are, but this one really moisturizes your lips making them so smooth. I have the mint flavor and I'm not sure if they have other flavor, but I don't mind if they don't because I will carry on to probably always repurchase this product as I'm prone to getting chapped lips in the winter.

Also this applicator for this lip balm is rounded which makes is really easy to apply when your on the go. You simply squeeze and rub onto your lips. Another thing about the application of this product is that when you squeeze the product out, if you've overloaded on the product then, it goes back into the tube. Stopping you wasting product.


My final product is Benefits They're Real mascara. This is the first high end mascara I've bought and you can definitely see the difference from using high street mascaras. First benefit I love about this mascara (see what I did there!) is that it doesn't clump at all, where as with every other mascara I've used its slightly clumped.


Next the length of the mascara is one of the best I've used. It really makes them super long and luscious. 


The applicator of this brush is plastic, which I wasn't sure I'd get along with but I actually really like it. I would most definitely recommend this mascara for all types, or even just go in to find a tester size, because my lashes look and feel brand new.

Whats In My Bag | autumn edition


I got this bag for Christmas last year and I still love it so much! Its not an overly large bag but I don't like to carry more than I need to. The bag is from Jasper Conran which they have in many department stores such as Debenhams and they also have their own website.


Firstly I have my purse which I also got last year as a gift for Christmas, its from River Island and is pretty big, I prefer to have larger purses than little ones because they have more individual pockets and I find it easier to find certain cards, notes, and receipts etc.


I then have some polo mints in the original flavor, I don't like the peppermint flavor ones so i only buy these, I like to keep these in my bag just for when I might be out for lunch or just want a fresher breath. I like to buy these in a pack of 5 from supermarkets because I always have them in my bag, I do end up saving money.


Next here I have my keys, which are an essential, not much to say about them they're lovely keys.
But I do have a key ring with the letter 'S' (for Sarah) that I bought a few years ago from London, i felt like a real tourist.


Now this was a great little gadget I ordered off ebay, what you do is charge this into your phone charger, and then when your out and your phone has low battery it charges your phone. Its really come in handy.


Next is a random little thing, just a hairband. But I do think every girl should carry round a hairband because I always seem to loose them or forget to have one on my wrist so I keep one in my bag just for emergencies.


This is a holder for my nail file, which is the best nail file I've ever used, I love painting and taking care of my nails (even though their not looking great here) but I was given this one for my birthday and I would definitely recommend it. Unfortunately when I was taking photos for this post I noticed that it had snapped. But I thought I'd include it because I am going to repurchase it, and I thought I'd let you know what I thought of it.


Now here I have my makeup bag, I like to take this around with me because I am very spontaneous and normally when I'm out I end up going out after or staying somewhere after. So then theirs always a chance i'll need to top up on my makeup or need it for the next day, I normally don't need everything in my makeup bag its normally just my powder and lipstick to re-apply throughout the day. 
Let me know if you'd like to see a whats in my makeup bag post


Next I always like to carry some form of hair brush or comb, again because I end up doing something after I've been out. Also because I have naturally wavy hair I do find that throughout the day, so I normally take something with me to make it look more presentable. I currently had a comb in my bag so that's what I thought I'd show you but I sometimes carry an actual brush.


Now this is something that I find I really need throughout autumn and winter, a lip balm. I noticed a lot of beauty guru's on YouTube raving about these so I thought I'd try one, and I love it. This flavor is 'caramel cream', and it smells unbelievable I just literally want to eat this (but please don't if you buy this, haha!). The texture of these lip balms are so creamy and last for a really long time on your lips. I would really recommend these. 


This again is a real essential for me throughout the colder months, a hand moisturizer and this is my favorite one I've ever tried, this one is the soap and glory hand food. This leaves your skin just feeling lovely and moisturized, but what I really love about this product is that it doesn't leave a greasy residue and it dries really quickly but leaves your hands still feeling soft. Also the smell of this product is just like all of the soap and glory products, it smells amazing. I really think everyone who gets dry hands should buy this its so worth the money.


Next product is my body splash from Victoria Secret and these last for ages, I use this daily and have only used around a third of it. My sister bought this for me when she went shopping because I didn't go shopping as I went to France to see my Nan and Grandad. (Bless her) and i love the scent (she knows me so well). Even though this is quite a summery scent I haven't yet found a autumn scent that I like more than this, to stop using this one.

Finally I like to take my glasses with me as I need them for reading things from long distance or if i get headaches I wear these as they help.
