I have been asked to join this TAG by my friend Ella. I was apprehensive to answer these questions at first- as I don't tend to wear much make up. However the few beauty products I do own, I know what works for me and what doesn't. It have been lovely looking through all those who have already replied to the TAG as I know what I'll be looking out for to purchase these coming months! Here goes...
Q1: What was your favourite high street make up brand of 2012?
I haven't purchased that many beauty products this year, though of all of it I really am loving No.7! Although at the more pricey end of the high street brands out there, it can be purchased throughout all Boots stores! I have really impressed with the consistency of their liquid products, however the pigmentation on their more vibrant eye shadows can sometimes let them down!
Q2: What is your least favourite high street product?
My least favourite high street product of 2012 has to be the Body Shop cheek and lip stains. I found that the pigmentation of the products was misleading of that shown in the tube. Whilst they look very pretty and have a nice range of colours, I found that with both I purchased, the colour was weak and the product was gone within minutes of applying.
Q3: What's the best high street bargain you've bought?
My favourite high street bargain this year has definitely been the Revlon 'Beyond Natural Skin Matching Makeup' As I have a pretty even skin tone and my skin doesn't tend to break out, I don't need a heavy coverage. I found this provided the perfect light/medium coverage whilst being a cheaper version of Soap and Glory's 'Glow Job' which I still love! I believe I purchased this for around £3-4 however I don't think they stock it any more!
Q4: Which high street product did you buy that wasn't worth the hype?
Rimmel 'Scandal Eyes Show Off' mascara! I hadn't bought a new for months and thought it was about time to get a new one as my old ones were starting to run out. I purchased this on the basis of many wonderful reviews- I am sorry to say I was disappointed. I product was too think, far too much came off on the brush and it made my lashes stick together!
Q5: Which product wins your award for the best high street product of 2012?
Bourjois Kohl and Contour eye liners! I know these have been available for a while now, but after purchasing three more this year I have become addicted. I find they are very easy to work with, and the colours of the pencil show extremely well. They are very good to blend and have to win this spot as best high street product!
