Ghost Parties - Beauty Favourites

The lovely Kate of Ghost Parties shares her beauty favourites!

You know those products that you swear by - the ones you continuously repurchase? I've dedicated this post to some of my favourite products. I'm always guaranteed to come back to these.

#1. Models Own Nail Polish in Fuzzy Peach. This is my 'go to' nail colour, a perfect orange/pink which looks gorgeous on anyone. I love bright, opaque colours on my nails. I rarely wear any with a sparkle or sheen and my ideal colours are always pink, coral and peach. I have an unhealthy obsession with coral at the moment and out of the many I have Fuzzy Peach remains my top nail colour. 

#2. NARS Powder Blush in Orgasm. Ahh the hyped up NARS blusher that everyone knows about. This has become so popular that saying orgasm in a sentence that doesn't require a hushed voice is perfectly normal to most beauty lovers. I know what you're thinking - another over-hyped product which won't live up to the extravagence which surrounds it. Wrong. Out of my entire blush collection, NARS Orgasm is the one which is used the most. Its so easy to wear, always looks effortless and has just the right amount of peachy-gold sheen to wear from day into night.

#3. MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural in Light Medium. The MAC MSFs are another product which are loved by most. Before the introduction of this into my life, I was always, always a loose powder lover. I like a matte look with just enough natural glow and while the MSF doesn't do much for shine (personally) it sets make-up perfectly with the healthiest glow. If you're looking for a gorgeous finishing powder on top of foundation or even alone, this is for you.

#4. Neutrogena Multi Defence Gentle Purifying Scrub. I first purchased this at the end of December when the range was introduced into British stores. I'm a fan of Neutrogena products and I like the idea of a gentle daily scrub to make my skin brighter. I think I've repurchased this three or four times in the last nine months and it really is a great product. It's not at all abrasive, so can be used daily and is soap-free which means it won't dry out skin. I think the exfoliating beads do a great job of gently buffing the skin leaving it looking clean, bright and healthy.

#5. Rimmel Glam Eyes Professional Liquid Liner. I wear liner almost every day on my top lid and this is a product I've repurchased countless times over the last year or two. It has the perfect tapered brush, it doesn't smudge or wear off, lasts all day and night and even though I use it most days I only need to purchased about every six months. I'm not a big Rimmel fan but this is one product I really recommend. I've tried gel liners (from five different brands) but I find they smudge against my brow bone throughout the day. I never have this problem with my Rimmel liner - the price is a bargain too.

These are just a selection of my favourite products. You can see more over on my blog!
