I'm so pumped to be back again with another round of Holy Grails for you. Today's picks have been chosen by Lizzie, the first person I met at uni and the closest thing to a wife I have ever had. She's hysterical and I'm so looking forward to sharing her beloved beauty pieces with you.
MUA Pro Brow Palette
It's just the best. The colours are perfect, and it is cheap as chips - but I think the quality is amazing. ["Sometimes chips aren't even that that cheap!" - spake Amy, my housemate, who is correct.] I prefer it to Benefit Brow Zing, or whatever it's called. I use the lightest shade, and it comes with crappy tweezers, a crappy brush, crappy wax and two really good brow powders. I've thrown the crappy bits away so now it is perfect.
Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl in Bronze
I like this as it's a true bronze: it's not browny with gold glitter, it is an actual shade of bronze. It stays put really well and makes your eyes look lovely and nicely sparkly. I love that it's super affordable too - unlike MAC eyeliners, which will set you back at least £15.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Styling Foam
This is great as you don't need to heat style your hair for this to work - you can simply pop it in and it will leave you with the nicest ringlets [Lizzie's hair is naturally curly, for reference]. It's not at all sticky, crunchy or crispy; it just leaves your locks nice and soft.
Marc Jacobs Lolita Palette
One of the greatest gifts I have ever been given, that was given to me by the glorious writer of this here blog. I love it because the quality is amazing, the packaging is to die for and I get complimented on it every time I wear it. Everyone at work notices it and says my makeup is looking lush. What a time to be alive. It is a bit expensive to buy for yourself but makes a great gift for someone you love.
Nars Laguna Bronzer
Another gift from my bae, it gives you a really healthy, bronzed look. It isn't really suitable for contouring or for really fair skin - I'm just on the threshold of being able to use it [Anna: I am not]. It warms up your face but isn't full of glitter; it's a bit pricey, but worth it.
Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
The only thing that can keep my makeup from falling of my face. You know a product is good when you go to a club for several hours, it's all hot and horrible, but you come out and your makeup is still perfectly in place.
Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes Mascara
I have tried a lot of mascaras in my time and this one is the best. I thought nothing could beat the Benefit They're Real Mascara, but this one has the perfect balance between length and volume. Just a couple of coats and you are good to go... and who can resist that Charlotte Tilbury packaging? It is perfect on your top and bottom lashes and completes any eye makeup look beautifully.
Thank you so much for starring in this Lizzie! What did you guys think of her choices? I am so looking into that Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Liner!
