Worth the Hard Earned Cash.

As my Hyped & Failed post was such a success - thanks so much for all the feedback, I love hearing your thoughts! - I thought a follow up was due.
These are a few products which I look forward to using, and there'll be repurchasing happening when needed. There's nothing shocking here, but it's all stuff you need in your life!

These products are ones that I would immediately recommend to anyone who was asking, so here goes my recommendations;

China Glaze Nail Lacquer

The shade on the right ('OMG') is one of my all time favourite colours, it kind of amazes me when it's on, I want more from that collection.
The thing I love about these is the hardeners that they contain, I always notice a better strength to my nails once I've worn them for a while. They apply really well, have great staying power, and a great range of colours. In my opinion, substantially better than O.P.I.

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

I still remember buying this & thinking how I could have spent £17 on a face powder. But, as you can see, I've loved the heck out of it! It's the only powder I've used that minimises shine, but still keeps the dewy glow created by my foundation. Although I like MAC products, I'm not one that has to rush out to get limited edition collections or build my collection every time I have the money - but this is one product that I'll stay faithful to MAC for.

Benefit 'Coralista' Blush

After finding a pretty significant dupe for this, I'm not sure I'm bothered about parting with the £23.50 when it finally runs out, but this is one of the best shades of blush I've ever found. It's the highlighter esque sheen it gives to your cheeks that I love so much, it gives a great glow to the face. I've had this for about half a year, and use it a lot, so far, I'm not seeing any wear, to the box or the product.

Sigma Brushes

They really are the softest brushes. I can't compare with MAC because I've never owned any, but for a fraction of the price and gradually filtering into the UK, I would recommend them instead of spending MAC prices, for the same quality and look. My favourite is the 188 stippling brush, great for blush, foundation & blending.

Maybelline 'The Falsies'It's Maybelline mascaras in general, they only one I have disliked is the Great Lash when used on it's own, but it's great to build up and even better for use on the bottom lashes as the brush is so small. Colossal is my all time favourite, but I love the fanned out curled effect that The Falsies offers. It's great at thickening from the roots too, and I'd choose thickness over length any day.

NYX Jumbo Pencils

Also becoming more readily available in the UK, these are something that have been around the blogosphere since the beginning. A great affordable product that has multiple uses. I'm pretty sure these are substantially cheaper in the US, but for what you're getting I think £2.50 is a great price. My favourite use is the waterline, because of the staying power.

Lush 'Big' Shampoo

You're either a lover or a hater, I'm with the former. I think you just need to find the right way to use it with your hair type, some can use it and go, I need to use it with a certain blow dry included routine, something which usually lacks from my hair routine. I definitely think it's worth the extra effort though. For those that think the price is too much for a shampoo (£9.90), you use the tiniest amounts it's actually quite shocking. I've had this since Christmas, using it once or twice a week and I'm only just getting half way down the pot.

As I said, nothing shocking, but some of my favourite products. I forgot to mention Soap & Glory's 'Scrub of Your Life' body exfoliator. That stuff works wonders!
