"Thursday I don't care about you, It's Friday I'm in Love"

Today I am starting a new 'phase'



Top Five Friday's!



Each week I will post my top fives, in any category that I so choose.



Todays category is...... (drumroll please)



'Middle-of-the-road' Beauty Products



This is my fave price bracket. Decent quality product - not too expensive. Yes - I believe in having a splurge on a decent foundation, or skin care products. Yes - I believe that a good product doesn't have to cost the earth to be in fact good. This is a list of products that sit in between, my go-to's if you will.





5. Blistex, Lip Conditioner. $7.50 - I love the numbing, tingly sensation this lip balm gives you when your lips are really dry. It's SPF15 and is not only a protector but a conditioner too. I use it as a base under lip gloss also.

4. Nivea Visage, Young Skin Mattefying Gel Cream. $7.99 -  This product is so refreshing and light, which is a big draw card with me. I am not a fan of heavy face products or the greasy feeling that comes with them. I strongly recommend  this product if you feel the same way.

3. Revlon, Super Lustrous Lip Gloss. $22 in stores, $17 online - I have been using these glosses since I was 16 - and I still love them. They come in a huge range of colours and a range of gloss intesities. They last forever, and have a good range of natural looking shades. My favourite shades are 'Cherries in Glow' & 'Shine City' (pictured).

2. Natio, Mineral Pressed Powder Bronzer Sunswept. $22 - This bronzer is one of the most versatile bronzers i've ever used. It is subtle enough to look natural, but also builds easily for a more glammed up look. I used this almost everyday and it lasted me 8 months.  Plus it comes in a solid compact with a big mirror inside the lid - great for on the go application.

1. L'Oreal Paris, Double Extension mascara in Carbon Black. $25 or Twin Pack for $40. This is the best Mascara i've ever used, hands down. I don't do Waterproof (but I might have to invest soon) but this Mascara is pretty weather & tear proof anyway. I love the striking intense black and the volume & length that it gives my lashes. You should throw your Mascara out after about 6 months, but the one I have now I've had for a year - and it's only just running out. $25 for a year of great lashes? So worth it.

Until next Friday...
