With several years experience in the Beauty industry I have over the years learnt a few tips & tricks of the trade and am lucky enough to receive samples of the key product launches that come and go. Some are outstanding and become a staple in my beauty regime, others are a one hit wonder with me and I wont be intrigued to buy myself!

Looking for a new beauty fix that you perhaps didn't know about? Read on further to see the cult beauty products that are in my make-up bag this season! These are my must-have beauty products. ..

Dior - DiorShow Iconic Mascara

When it comes to a mascara, I want one that looks natural but makes my eyes stand out! Naturally I have very fine eyelashes that without any mascara look non-existent so therefore I am one of these that will never leave the house with a few swipes across my lashes! Mascara is one of those make-up staples for me and so I tend not to scrimp on price.

I stumbled across this mascara from Dior quite by accident but am thoroughly impressed! Having to put on mascara everyday can become quite a chore and so you need one that is effortless and can quite easily take no more than 30seconds to apply. Meet the DiorShow Iconic then. The secret is in the brush, which is more like several staggered, fine toothed plastic combs. Therefore the liquid is dispersed evenly and sparingly keeping each individual lash partitioned from each other. Hey presto- each lash is evenly coated making them look defined and thicker with no clumping.

Bobbi Brown Long-wear gel Eyeliner (£17)

A classic favourite shared my many, that has been in my makeup bag for years! You need to do some practise with this product if you are not used to gel eyeliners but the brush that comes with helps to ensure you get that streamlined liner across your lids. It does what it says on the tin and lasts all day with its long-wear formula which was a key factor in why this has become one of my cult products as I had for years longed for a eyeliner that did not smudge within minutes!

Origins - A Perfect World BB cream (£27)

I received this as a trial from Origins and instantly became a fan! I have tried many BB creams and tinted moisturisers in the past but this by far is my clear favourite. This is only a recent addition back into my make-up bag and I do not wear this during the winter months. I wear the light-medium colourway which is slightly darker than my natural colouring therefore I wear alone in the summer months as a replacement to my foundation to give myself that summer glow!

It includes SPF15 and helps protect your skin for future years- with hints of white tea it  simultaneously minimizing pores and any fine lines.

Omorovicza Radiance Renewal Serum (£75)

A perfect rehydration serum for your complexion when it gets tired and lacks moisture. This serum is aimed to brighten and enhance complexions with its mixture of invigorating ingredients. I tend to use this after a late night to help boost my skins complexity prior to putting my makeup on to help reduce the look of tiredness under my eyes in particular but this serum can be used all over the face after cleansing. Add this into your routine before you add on your daily moisturiser.

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes Kit (£24.50)

This eye contouring kit is my multi-purpose eye tool. It comes with a concealer to touch up those dark circles under the eyes throughout the day (boi-ing in medium) and then all you need to create a natural eyeshadow look, perfect for that office to after-work drinks look!

It even comes with a step-to-step guide on how to contour the colours together so its perfect for those who struggle to apply eyeshadow.

YSL Le Taint Touche Eclat Foundation (£29)

I got given a week sample of my shade from the YSL team and instantly fell in love with this foundation. It is perfect for the every-day look as it is lightweight enough to not even notice that I am wearing foundation and blends perfectly into the skin so that it appears natural upon your skin. But more importantly you can build up the coverage for a more night-time look if need be. The bottle is slightly on the pricer side for a foundation but I can definitely vouch that it is worth the pricetag.
