The Favourites | Comeback Kids

We all have those products, the ones we forget we have that we once loved, replaced by a newer more exciting product - only exciting because it's new. Yup, everyone does. I have a bucket load (curse of the beauty blogger). Recently I cleaned out my bathroom and rediscovered some delights... 

#1 | Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Why did I ever stop using this? The perfect under eye concealer, it lightens and brightens so my now constant dark circles (curse of the communter) are disguised mwaha. Cheap and cheerful it's a winner. It stays for a good few hours and doesn't slip or crease. I pop this on top of my foundation/tinted moisturiser and blend with my buffing brush. On top of blemishes it's not quite as amazing - it's definitely one for under eyes - it highlighters more than hides in this case. Otherwise, total winner winner, chicken dinner.

#2 | 17 Instant Glow Gold Bronze Shimmer Brick
I gave this up a little while ago in favour of a more matte bronzer. I went off shimmer for a while, however my matte bronzer died (long story) so I picked this back up. I've been using the darkest shade for contour, which I didn't before, and the middle two colours for added colour in my cheeks. I've fallen back in love with this product and I love how the tones match my face and the glow it gives. It's a beaut of a product and I can't believe I ever stopped using it.

#3 | Origins Zero Oil Cleanser
This somehow got lost and I was devastated. I didn't want to fork out for another so I thought it'd be the perfect time to try something new, which I did and I did fall in love with it. However, I recently refound this and have been using it again ever since. Nothing cleans my skin like this and nothing sorts my skin out as much as this as well. It's the perfect cleanser for oily, blemish prone skin and well, it just works.

#4 | Gosh Intense Eye Liner Pen in Brown
This was one of the first things I was ever sent to review on the blog and I loved it from the off. I put it away to play with some newbies which was pretty much all black. Some I loved, some were a bit meh. I decided to try again with this when I was using a lot of nude and brown shadows to create a brown everyday smokey eye and this looked amazing as opposed to black liner with this and this has become my everyday look.

#5 | Nivea Daily Essential Express Hydration Primer
Last, but definitely not least, is this beauty of a day moisturiser/primer. I don't really see it as a primer but as a very light gellish moisturiser that I use every morning. I'm not even entierly sure why i stopped using this as it is amazing, not gonna lie. It's super super nourishing for my skin and is the perfect pre make up moisturiser as it really smooths the skin and isn't too heavy (hello primer properties). This isn't leaving my side again, like, ever.

I do think it's so much fun going back through your collection and finding old products you've forgotten. Love it.

Golden Eye

 PRODUCTS USED: MUA HEAVEN AND EARTH EYESHADOW PALETTE  |  RIMMEL SCANDALEYES EYESHADOW CRAYON IN BULLETPROOF BEIEGE  |  MAC EYEPENCIL IN DUCK  |  GOSH EYELINER PEN IN BROWN  |  CHANEL INIMATABLE MASCARA IN NOIR

So this is how I've been wearing my eye make up for the past few weeks, it's ridiculously simple and it's a natural look for everyday.

I start off with dusking my eyelids with the a gold shadow from the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette and then run over it with my Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Crayon in Bulletproof Beige, which I also use in the inner corners to open my eyes up. The crayon ensures the gold colour throughout the entire day.

Next I go to my liners. I use my Gosh eyeliner pen to do my lash line and the flick. This tends to last all day and I love it at the moment as opposed to my usual black. I then do my waterline with my Mac pencil for a subtle line and to open my eyes up. Then it's finished off with black mascara, cause lets face it - nothing beats it.

This look tends to last me for an entire day and is suitable for work. I would definitely recommend picking up the scandaleyes eyeshadow crayons, they are so easy to use, really quick and really last. Definite a great buy!

GOSH Intense Eye Liner Pen

  

GOSH Intense Eye Liner Pens in Purple, Brown, Blue and Dark Green*

I'm always on the search for a perfect eye liner. I could never find the one that was easy to use as well as giving me the coverage needed while maintaning its intensity for a prolonged period. I feel I may now have found it. 

I found these pens quite funny at first, they are literally exactly like a felt tip pen and the urge to grab a colouring book and go was almost overwhelming.. But alas no, I must be a grown up. So instead I put it to the test and used it on my eyes and also my hands as you can see.

For starters I think the colours are gorgeous, especially the blue (you know how I love my blue). I tested all of these on my eyes and I have to say - easiest eye liner I have ever used, hands down. I can't use it on the bottom of my eye but I can always use my own pencil for that. On the top I can create any kind of line that I wish which I've not been able to do before with ease. Not only that but both my eyes look the same after they've been done, which is another first - yay! This makes for a happy Lisa. It's advertised as not budging or smudging - and it's not wrong. Once dry and I can rub my eyes til sky turns blue and it doesn't smudge. But it comes off easily with eye make up remover, yay!

I use the brown eyeliner on a daily basis now, it's become my go to eyeliner, day and night I think it's just perfect. I like the fact that it's brown as it's not as harsh as your usual black and I'm not a harsh make up person. I would definitely recommend these beauties. Aside from these colours you can also get them in black and grey, am quite tempted to try out the grey. You can get these exclusively from Superdrug stores for £6.49, which I think is definitely a great price for a product that's as good as this. I have no problem paying for this at all. I've not used any of GOSH's products before, but I am definitely going to check them out now. Would love recommendations from people please :)

Have you used GOSH before? What products would you recommend?
