The annual InStyle best beauty buys 2015 is in, I love this supplement
as its voted for my industry experts, these products have been dissected by
those in the know, so affordability and value are not the for front of thinking
which is often the case when its voted for by ‘the general public’ – you’re a thrifty
lot. This is a no holds bard, honest and true selection of the best of the
best.
I have chosen 6 products that I personally have, some I agree
with and some not so much.
Firstly voted ‘Best Powder Eyeshadow’ – MAC. I do love a MAC
eyeshadow; they are the fall back, the trusted and the hard working. It is nice
to see all the pretty and umptious palettes around from the likes of Charlotte
Tilbury and Tom Ford but these really are the back bone of any eye shadow
collection.
Secondly we have ‘Best Wash-Off Cleanser’ – Liz Earle’s
Cleanse and Polish. I am so happy this has won, it really is an amazing
cleanser it is often over looked by us beauty swots as its ‘natural’ and its ‘affordable’
and we’d all like something a tad fancier on our bathroom shelves. However it’s
brilliant, bloody brilliant. A cult classic for a reason, go Liz.
In at number 3 ‘Best Under Eye Concealer’ - is YSL Touché Éclat
– Really?? It might be the best if you have the most perfect under eyes, this
does not cover bags, dark circles or discolouration – in my opinion one of the
most over rated products in the beauty industry.
Number 4; ‘Best Tweezers’ – Tweezerman…duh. They are
precise, sharp and will never fail you. One worth a few extra quid you’ll have
them forever. On to another tool; ‘Best Eyelash Curler’ – Shu Uemura; another
obvious winner and for good reason. They really lift the lash and they keep it
there.
Finally pulling up the rear is ‘Best Cream Eyeshadow’ – MAC Paint
Pots. These are often overlooked but again like the eyeshadows they are a
brilliant staple, I use Soft Ochre everyday as an eye lid primer to cancel out
redness. No creasing here and they last forever.
So that’s that, my picks from this years Beauty Oscars, I was
hoping to see some Charlotte Tilbury in there….hopefully in 2016 – I’m rooting
for you Tilbs.
