I'm heading out tomorrow night and I thought it would be interesting if I shared my holy grail items and must-haves with you! I use all of these products almost every time I'm going on a night out so they're definitely tried & tested :) So let's get started..
I always try to start the night before I go out. This is when I wash my hair and exfoliate and moisturise my skin. This is also the time to (ahem) de-fuzz your legs, if you're planning on getting them out.. Otherwise we all know there's no point! I dry my hair thoroughly but I don't bother with styling it and then I usually go to bed :)
Now on to my essential products..
#1 Cocoa Brown 1 hour tan mousse in Dark - My number one favourite tan for a night out! It goes on evenly, leaves a gorgeous colour and of course develops in only one hour. I like to apply one layer of this to my legs, arms, chest and back during the day. I then like to go in with another layer about 2 hours before I head out!
#2 MAC Prep & Prime Skin - I always always always use primer when I'm going out. I feel like it's an extra step that I like to take just to ensure that my make up lasts!
#3 MAC Studio Fix Powder - Again this is just an extra step to help my make up last all night.
#4 BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector - I love to have a glow at any time of the day but I always whip this out for the night time! It is so pigmented and gorgeous and glowy :) Any highlighter will just really glam up your look!
#5 Hard Candy Poppin Pigments - I love to focus on my eyes when I go out and glitter is always a winner for me!
#6 MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick - If I don't feel like going glittery with my eyes, I'll definitely go with bold lips! Seeing as it's summer.. I've been loving coral and orange colours like Vegas Volt :)
#7 Ardell Glamour Wispies - My favourite false eyelashes ever! I apply these with my DUO eyelash adhesive using a tweezers. False lashes instantly transform any make up look from day time to night time and they're definitely a must-have for me!
#8 Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray - Using a setting spray locks in your make up and gets rid of any excess powder that might not show up in real life but you with definitely see in photos. I also carry this in my bag just to refresh throughout the night!
#9 Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo - I curl or straighten my hair and then add this too my roots. I use it as a texturizing spray and the XXL version gives a loverly bit of oomph ;)
#10 L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray - This provides a strong hold with no crispiness and best of all, it brushes out! I use this after I've fully styled my hair and I do bring a little travel size out with me for touch ups!
#11 Soap & Glory Glow Lotion - Just before I get dressed, I like to add a bit of sparkle and sheen to my legs and décolletage. This lotion doesn't make you look like a disco ball but it makes your pins look extra special!
I hope you guys enjoyed this and I will speak to you again soon :)
