Mum's Favourite Makeup Products

So since I asked my Mum all about her favourite skincare items I thought I'd also take a look in her makeup bag. Here are some of her most used and well loved products!

 Here's a quick overview of her favourite makeup products.

 To begin, here are her favourite makeup brushes. First up is the Real Techniques "Domed Shadow Brush" and "Multitask Brush". She also really likes the Estee Lauder "Blending Brush #7". She really likes the handles, because they aren't too long. She also finds that the brush heads aren't too big and that the bristles never shed. Mum also says the brush is very soft and affordable.

 Next up are Estee Lauder eyeshadows in "Honey Drop" and "Tea Biscuit". They are very pigmented and blendable, and work really well with her blue eyes. They do have shimmer to them, but it isn't too much. Mum really likes that they don't crumble even though she's used them a lot, the quality is wonderful, and they are very long lasting. The packaging is very solid and a good size, plus it has a mirror in the lid. The formulation is very pigmented and smooth.

 Her favourite blush is Benefit's "Hervana". I bought this at full price, and Mum found it on sale for $5.00! Looking back, she said if she knew how much she'd like it, she would have bought two or three more! She likes that it's her very favourite blush (of all time), she likes the sturdy packaging and that you can swirl your brush around without it getting all powdery. The colours work really well on her skintone (a little darker than mine, but still fair).

 For lip products she really likes Vaseline and Fresh's "Sugar Rose" tinted lip balm. Vaseline is a go-to product and works "anytime, anywhere". It also has a nice clear gloss, which looks nice without any effort. The Sugar Rose lipbalm was a little Christmas gift from me, and she likes how small it is, and how it never dries your lips out despite having some colour. She also likes that the colour is more subtle than it appears. A downside is that the formula is so soft that it melts in hot weather, so keep it out of your handbag or car!

 For mascara, right now she really likes Estee Lauders "Sumptuous Extreme" and Lancome's "Hypnose Star". Personally, I don't like the Lancome formula, but Mum really does, plus she doesn't notice the rose scent as much as I do. Mum likes them because the formula isn't clumpy. The Estee Lauder one gives a thicker coating and more volume, but the Lancome mascara adds more length and separates the lashes. She doesn't find that they are irritating, as she does have quite sensitive eyes. She also likes the packaging of the Estee Lauder mascara. 

The MAC mineralize concealer is a liquid formula product. She likes that it has a small brush and can also be used without foundation and doesn't "stick out". She generally uses the brush and then blends it with her fingertips. She mostly uses it for her under eye area as the lucky lady rarely gets blemishes. 

I hope you liked a peek into my Mum's makeup bag! Thanks to my lovely mother for letting me take a look and bug her with questions all day, you're the best!
