Feeling Good: The Beauty Edit

Ok, it's May and where is the nice sunny weather? I ask. It's raining, moody and I have no urge to want to go out nor leave my room. Ok, I am typing this on the sofa in my living room, but you know what I mean. This weather is the kind to put a damper on the whole day. Meh.

And if you're feeling a bit like me, then the best place to go is beauty. Ok, depending on what type of reader/blogger you are, most of you will agree that there are days when you apply certain makeup products and you just feel SO good!

Soo, I've picked out a few products, some of them skincare, that make me feel happy when I'm feeling a bit low. Hopefully you guys might take some inspiration from these or even try them yourself!

001: S&G One Heck Of A Blot primer: This product will more than likely turn up in a future beauty favourites post, but if you're after a base that makes your skin matte allowing easy application and long lasting makeup, then turn to this! (Woo that was a long sentence!) But whenever I use this it does make a difference and it's basically a cheaper dupe of the Benefit primers!

002: I Heart Makeup Blushing Hearts blusher: Instead of looking washed out or neutral, even if the weather is horrible or I feel a bit down, I apply this and boom! instant peachy highlighted cheeks! This one is actually really pigmented and a lovely (if not scarily close) dupe for Too Faced...

003: S&G Extreme Plump lipgloss: Going for the natural sunkissed look in London? Fear not this clear lipgloss will give you the no makeup makeup look. Also, it has some ingredients to plump up your lips and make them look gorgeously fuller - it does work a little so who doesn't want that?

004: Lush Don't Look At Me fresh face mask: Apart from beauty, skincare is really important. And to feel good it's all about self caring! This one not only makes you look like a smurf, but there's cleansing lemon, nourishing murumuru butter and exfoliating ground rice in there. It's heaven in a recycled pot.

005: Lush Yuzu and Cocoa shower cream: Last, but by no means least - this is summer in a bottle. Lush stop saying it smells like chocolate oranges because it smells like coconuts and all things tropical! I mean it's yellow for fricking sake! Perfect for morning and evening use or any time of the day. It really cheers me up and because it's a cream, it's really moisturising!
