Forks and Brushes

Almost every beauty blogger blogs about their monthly favourites each month. I could never do that because when I like something, I tend use the same thing daily for 3 months or longer, that I do not wish to change them. So if I were to do monthly favourite, you would probably see the same things on every month continuously, which won't be very interesting to read. So what I have decided to do is to have a "Current Makeup Staples" series, where I share with you what I have been using for the past several months. I plan to have a post approx every 3 months, that coincides with the change of season, when I tend to switch up my products or discover something new. In this first post, I am going to share with you the products I use every time when I do my makeup, whether it is day or night look, weekday work or weekend casual look.

After reading Jen From Head to Toe's MLBB (My Lips But Better) Lipsticks post ( here ), I am inspired to share my own MLBB. I hope this post will be particular useful to my UK readers, as Jen is in America, so not all products she recommends are available in the UK. Jen's Recommendation: NYX Black Label Lipstick in Bling - discontinued Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Fiend Benefit Hydra-Smooth Lip Color in Nice 'n Teasy Maybelline Color Whisper Lipstick in Rose of Attraction - not available in UK Too Faced La Creme Lipstick in Spice Spice Baby I am adding two to the list: Loreal Colour Riche Collection Privee in Rosewood Beige by Julianne Moore MAC Lustre in Patisserie
