Afternoon Pick Me Up

Do you ever feel as though, half way through the day not only are your energy levels starting to slump but so is your war paint (make up). Here are some handbag friendly products to help pick you up a bit.

Firstly, this Boots Botanics 100% Organic Rosewater Spritz 150ml. Now, there is no proof that this is 100% organic, however, this is so refreshing and usually like to put it on before and after I have applied make up. It feels really soothing to the skin and just makes me feel a bit calmer. The Garnier Miracle Skin Cream, while it doesn't perform miracles, it is great a giving you a dewy and even finish to your complexion, I can see me wearing this a lot, especially during the summer, due to it's super light feeling on the skin and the SPF20. Speaking of SPF, this super moisturising Nivea Sun Care Lip Balm is so lovely to use and although it says SPF 25 on Tesco website, the packaging says SPF 30, so it's nice to know that as well as being very moisturising it's also protecting your lips against the sun.

Next, I have these two Benefit goodies, Benetint and High Beam. I have them in 'travel' sizes because I got them in the 'Best of Benefit' set. I really love Benetint for the apples of me cheek, I usually put three dots on my cheeks with the applicator and blend sideways/upwards to make it look more natural. I also love this on my lips, my lips are quite red anyway but when I put this on my lips it makes them look 'bee-stung' but in a natural way. Lastly, but not least, I also got this Hoola Bronzer with the 'Best of Benefit' set. The colour of Hoola is great because particularly for cooler skin tones it lacks the highly pigmented orangeyness that often ruins bronzers for people with cooler and lighter skin tones.
