Much like most other girls our age, Orla and I are
constantly looking at ways to achieve fun and exciting looks on a budget! We
both have an obsession with good quality make up, cosmetics and hair products. I
think it’s fair to say that we spent the majority of our teens experimenting
with different products whilst trying to find the right colour matches for our
respective skin tones….although we often went out looking like we’d been
tangoed!
As we got older, we developed our own styles and through a combination
of practice, trial and error, we found products that worked for us and most
importantly, looked natural and pretty on for our everyday looks.
As soon as we got jobs and began earning a little more money, our eyes started
to drift away from the Boots Collection range and over to some of the higher
end brands. My brand of choice has been Benefit for a long time, while Orla is definitely
more of a MAC girl. I find their products to be well made, reliable and most
importantly they work well! I use their skin care routine a few times a week
and their moisturiser nightly. It’s quite thick so I opt not to use it
underneath foundation.
I’ve recently had to adapt my spending to reflect my
outgoings being higher and therefore need to find ways to cut back and make my
money go further. Gone are the days where I could spend £30 on a foundation
every few weeks and not feel the impact. I still keep my Benefit foundation –
but from now on it’s only going to be rocked out for special occasions.
