Shopping My Stash #3

For this fortnight I've picked out 6 products, 3 of which are my favourites but for some reason have been neglected alot lately. First up is..

Lavera All-Round Cream: I've really enjoyed the few products I've tried from Lavera, mainly body products like bath/shower gel and body creams. As the name suggests the All-Round Cream can be used on the face and body (I only use it on my body) It has a really pleasant scent, is easy to work into the skin and best of all - it's free from nasty ingredients.

Estee Lauder Double Wear in shade Fresco: The main reason I love Double Wear is because it doesn't transfer onto my clothes. There's nothing worse than seeing the collar of a coat plastered in foundation, it's hideous but DW stays on my face the whole day. Even if I have a nana nap in the afternoon it doesn't budge. I also love that it covers any redness. Around this time every year I get a huge red stripe on each cheek, I think it's due to dehydration with having the heating on alot and DW seems to be the only foundation to completely cover it.

MAC MSF in Soft & Gentle: Soft & Gentle gives the most gorgeous golden, champagne sheen to the cheekbones. I've been using my New CID blush/highlighter duo constantly since I got it but it's time to come back to this beauty! It seems to last forever, I still haven't made a dent.

The Body Shop White Musk Libertine: I don't buy much from The Body Shop now but I practically lived for it when I was younger. I always loved the White Musk scented products so when I spotted this in the sale last year I picked it up. I must confess I've grown out of my White Musk phase but I'll always have a soft spot for it.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer & Gloss Duo: This duo came as a GWP last year but I very rarely wear gloss and despite really liking the concealer at first it started to remind me of Collections Lasting Perfection Concealer which I'm just not a fan of. The gloss is in the shade 27 Pink Kiss Shimmer, it's a golden pink, doesn't feel too sticky and it smells good.

Benefit Bad Gal Mascara: I had a tube of this back in the day but I have to say I wasn't too impressed. So why did I get another tube? Well it was a magazine freebie a few months back, I can't pass up a good freebie.

Do you own any of these products?

    I do love my MSF and Doublewear- but I'm totally annoyed that they've reworked the shades this week, got rid of my Shell and the new "pale" shades are literally so dark on me. So sad :-( Fresco has changed too so make sure you get rematched when you run out xxx

      Oh really? I thought there was just more shades added, didnt know they'd been changed. How annoying! To be honest Fresco doesn't even match me even though I was 'matched' by a girl on the counter. I always wear my foundation a shade or 2 darker than my skin tone then just bronze up my neck anyway but Fresco isnt a close match at all.

      Yeah, they've changed most of it :-( Fresco still exists but its been upgraded to 2N3 so is warmer than the shade you will have xx

      You can't beat a good nana nap! ;) My bottle seems to last forever. I've used it quite a lot but it doesn't look like it will run out any time soon.

      I've heard alot about the cream colour base in pearl but haven't tried it myself. I seem to sway more towards powder/baked highlighters for some reason.
