Hello Sweethearts!
After doing my top 10 drug store brand make-up products, I
was inspired to do the ‘top ten’ idea again, but this time using ‘Princess
Products’ (i.e. high end brands which are more expensive but so worth it
because they are soooo amazing!) Enjoy!
WARNING: These products are well loved, and therefore look a bit beaten up or worse for wear.. oopsie.

1. Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
This will be no surprise to you because you either have
followed my blog so know how obsessed I am with it or know of multiple
YouTubers and Bloggers who rave about it! A lot of people rave review about
this one, but it is because it is so good.
The coverage is good (for my skin at least, I luckily don’t get blemishes
a lot so it’s more about evening out colour), and the finish is just a
gorgeous, natural glow. Click HERE to
read my full review of it. Currently, I
use a drug store foundation on a daily basis with a similar finish – the Rimmel
Match Perfection, read the review HERE) but this would be my go to foundation
for every day if it wasn’t expensive and I wasn’t a student. But I love using this on special occasions.
2. Naked Palette
An essential for any naturals girl, by a mile. There are a gorgeous mix of mattes and
shimmers, ranging from pale beiges to golds to roses to forrest browns, with a
couple of smokey colours thrown in. The
pigmentation is amazing, the finish is stunning and is great for natural every
day looks, but also can be used with the darker shades built up for parties and
nights out where you maybe don’t want to go too OTT with eye make-up. I use this pretty much every day, even if
only to do a wash of colour.
3. Mac Lipstick
I know everyone on the planet interested in beauty knows how
amazing these are, but believe it or not these are a relatively recent
discovery for me. I got this on a mini
make-up spree with my friend Aisha because she was so shocked I hadn’t tried
them. I picked up the colour ‘Hot Gossip’
because it seemed like a really good colour and for me, it is perfect. It is a really natural colour with a pretty
pink pop that looks great for daily wear.
I can’t wait to go back and get more shades!
4. Benefit Browzings
This is genuinely the most amazing eye brow filler. I use it every single day and people are
shocked that I fill in my eye brows because they look so natural (my brows are
so much lighter than my hair and are really sparse but they look perfect using
this). I think I’ve got the light
palette and this works whether I’ve just dyed my hair darker or have let it
fade lighter, it still looks great. The
brushes (though small) work really well to shape natural looking brows and the
tweezers are fantastic.
You already know how much I love this, it is just perfection
for my skin type and I know people with different skin who love it too. It keeps make-up put for ages and gives your
skin a nice soft, supple and clean feel.
It absorbs oil instantly and looks just so incredible and acts as a
great base. Read the full review HERE.
6. Benefit ‘They’re Real’ Mascara
I, again, bought this in America as I’d heard amazing
reviews about it and I’m now onto my third one.
I do go through waves with mascara as to which one is my favourite and
currently I’m adoring this. Usually, I
hate mascara with plastic wands as opposed to fibre, but this really grips your
lashes, giving them great length. My
Maybelline falsies is amazing as another layer for nights out but can sometimes
give a little too much volume and look heavy on a daily basis. This is just the right amount and looks
really pretty. It also does wanders and
doesn’t smudge for my bottom lashes. I
have gotten consistent compliments on my lashes the past couple of weeks, all
down to this.
7. Lancôme Art Liner
I finally found a better replacement for my boots Natural
Collection Eye Liner. This is without a
doubt the best liquid eyeliner on the market.
Applying it is so easy, from really thin natural lines to cat flicks to
thick looks. It comes out black (not
grey like other liners) and stays on all day.
This is so essential to my make-up now!
8. Estee Lauder Raisin Duo
I picked this up in Florida as well after the influence of
Zoella’s videos on YouTube raving about it.
This is a gorgeous little duo which is natural, yet noticeable and also
girly at the same time. The colours look
so beautiful together and are really easy to apply and blend in. The pigmentation is amazing and the packaging
it so lush.
9. Benefit Rockateur Blush
I adore this blush because it isn’t stereotypical
red/pink/orange, it is a more browny pink which just has a slight shimmer to
give a really natural glow to your cheeks and looks great especially at this
time of the year. It is easy to apply
and easy to build up for a more heightened look as well. The packaging isn't particularly classy or nice compared to other Benefit products, but the
blush itself is in quite a cool pattern.
10. Urban Decay Eye Primer
I don’t usually use eye primer, but when I do it has to be
this one. Granted, there aren’t that
many around, but this is fantastic. I
used to find when I went out that my eye shadow would go stray and start fading
and looking nasty after a few hours of dancing.
I used to use this just on nights out, but now I use it daily as I am
doing a lot of physical work at college so I want everything to stay put. My eye shadow stays put every time, without a
single smudge or fade.
So those were my top 10 ‘Princess Products’! I hope you enjoyed reading and maybe have
some ideas for your first (or next) high end brand make-up purchase!
Much love,
Rosie
