Coming from a family who aren’t beauty crazed in the slightest, one must wonder how I became the way I am today. For the record, I’m blaming other beauty blogs for all the obsessions and temptations-good job,guys! My Mum, bless her, has a teensy makeup and skincare collection, the majority of which was bought by me or taken from my stash. She likes to wear a coloured liner once in a while, has just gotten hooked on blush, and uses an Avon lipliner as her tried and true lipcolour. Here is her stash!
This Savvy by DB blush was originally mine, but Ionce used it on Mum during a makeover and she laid claim to it. I can tell that beauty blogging has changed me, because my excitement at seeing her awesome pan hit was understood by nobody but me! I think this is her first blush, and I love the way it warms up her whole face. It kicks off quite a bit of powder but it is really cheap, and now that I know she will wear blush I can get her something a little pricier to use next time.
I bought Mum both of the essence palettes last year when she
bemoaned her lack of eyeshadows, and she loves that they aren't crazily
pigmented. It makes them easier to use for those who are new to applying
eyeshadow, but they are nice enough for beauty lovers to enjoy as well!
The Face of Australia Impact Curl mascara is one that I have
gotten my whole family onto, it really opens the eye up and holds a curl well.
The Aromatherapy Associates sample* is something Mum used while on the plane when
she went overseas with Dad earlier in the year, and she said she likes the texture.
Mum swears by the ultra-cheap Australian Lanolin Oil Night Cream, or indeed
most other variations from the $3 Big W range. Her skin is baby soft, so maybe
she knows something I don’t!?
What does your Mum keep in her beauty and skincare cabinet?
I’d love to see your thoughts in the comments below (Mum is terrified that
no-one will like the posts about her on my blog, so show her that isn’t true!)
