Current Beauty & Skin Care Favourites

Hi lovelies,

Can you believe it's almost Christmas? It's nearly a year since I started my blog! While I'm not a regular poster, I've received so much of support from my followers and fellow bloggers for which I'm eternally grateful. I'm currently on a vacation in Sri Lanka and loving every single moment of it so you'll be seeing plenty of my travel photos on here as well as my Instagram.

In the meantime, I thought I'll share with you my absolute favourite beauty and skincare products that I use almost everyday; these are things that I can't live without and that I've been carrying everywhere with me while I'm travelling.



Firstly, I adore this make up case from Ted Baker! It's large enough to fit everything you could possibly need but small enough for me to carry it in my everyday bag. The Chanel blush is a subtle pink that adds a nice glow as it has a light shimmer to it. The Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer is a must have for anyone with dark circles under their eyes. I've been using this concealer for about two years now and swear by it! It's very light-weight but covers dark circles and blemishes extremely well to give a flawless complexion. It's smooth but stays on all day, I only apply it once in the morning but it lasts until I remove it at night. 

Ah Benefit, what can I say? It's my favourite cosmetics and skin care brand. The Pore-fessional is a primer that minimizes pores and makes your foundation goes on smoothly for that flawless look. It covers any blemishes and is especially perfect for people who use a matte based foundation like myself as it makes it so much easier to blend in. The Stila liquid lipsticks last for hours without needing any touch-ups and it's ideal when I'm on the go. Another benefit is that it doesn't smudge even when you eat something! The Too Faced eyeshadow and blush palette is from their Le Grand Chateau gift set, which is sadly now sold out at Mecca in Australia. You can still purchase it from their website. The gift set comes with three different palettes and a mascara which are so easy to carry. 



My absolute favourite skin care products are the Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion and the Benefit Foamingly Clean. Both are super sensitive and does an amazing job at taking care of my skin. Unlike various other moisturisers that are oily, this one feels smooth and refreshing. The cleanser is great at removing any make up residue and doesn't dry out the skin even in Winter. 

Well that's it ladies, those are my favourite beauty and skin care products! Please do let me know what your thoughts are if you have these or if you try them. 

Lots of love,
Nethmi
