As someone who spends a lot of their spare
time blogging, I also really enjoy reading other blogs and watching beauty
gurus on Youtube to get inspiration and learn about new products. One of my
favourite beauty bloggers is Estee from EssieButton. While I mostly keep up to
date with her videos on Youtube I recently came across one of Estee’s blog
posts where she shared the products that she was inspired to buy from other
bloggers. This made me think of how many products I’ve bought because of
watching EssieButton!
1// The Body Shop Honey Bronzer
This beautiful bronzer comes in three
different shades, which is fantastic because the lightest shade is fantastic
for those with really pale skin. It is perfect for a subtle contour but my
favourite use for this bronzer is to sweep it all over my face and blend it
with whatever blush I’m wearing to give my face a little extra colour.
2// Maybelline Colour Tattoo in ‘Bad to the
Bronze’
I already owned a few of the Maybelline Colour tattoos before I heard Estee
rave about the shade Bad to the Bronze. I rushed out to get it and it has been
my go to everyday ‘all over the lid’ shade or base for a smokey eye. I 100%
recommend the colour tattoos – probably the best value drugstore eyeshadow.
3// Almay Intense i-colour smokey-i Kit
I had forgotten about this one but remembered
seeing how gorgeous the colours were and then when I went to check it out at
Priceline it was on sale! These shadows are so smooth, apply easily and blend
out beautifully. This is definitely one of those products I wouldn’t have
picked out without hearing about it otherwise.
4// Tarte Amazonian Clay 24 Hour Blush in
‘Natural Beauty’
This is one of my favourite blushes in my collection. The colour is gorgeous and leaning towards red gives such a natural flush of colour on my pale complexion. I also love that this blush is super long lasting, blends out beautifully and gives a beautiful natural finish - not too shimmery, not too chalky. I definitely want to get my hands on more shades of these blushes and hopefully when Sephora opens in Australia they will be in stock.
5// MAC Lipsticks in ‘Lady Danger’ and
‘Plumful’
Some of the newest additions to my MAC
lipstick collection but ones that had been on my wish list for ages after
seeing Estee rave about them on her Youtube channel. It was definitely love at
first application for both of these lipsticks. Plumful is one of the most
beautiful lipsticks I’ve ever worn, as a lustre formula it is moisturizing,
glossy and makes the lips look full and plump. I love wearing this with an everyday
makeup look. Lady Danger is everything that a bright lipstick should be –
pigmented, super matte and extremely long lasting. I wore this to a recent
blogger event I attended and not only did I get a few compliments but I didn’t
have to worry about it coming off when I was eating or drinking. Not to mention
it is such a beautiful orange red shade. So in love!
6//Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation
Another Tarte product I picked up because I absolutely love mineral foundation and was intrigued to try a high end one. This leaves the most beautiful airbrushed finish (as promised in the name) and just melts into the skin. I love how it blurs out my skin, feels completely weightless and provides a good base for blending powder products on top. I really enjoy wearing mineral powders as a base and this is definitely a good one!
That’s some serious money I’ve put down
because of Estee! Which of your favourite bloggers are your biggest enablers?
