So far for my current beauty favourites… but this is a never stopping movement! I keep on buying different beauty products so one day these favourites might be replaced by something else… who knows?!
Please let me know your beauty favourites… perhaps I might be persuaded to buy one of them 😉

It really is a top product for such a price!!! I always add a drop of oil. My skin is a bit older (!) and I have found that using the foundation as it is, is a bit too dry for my skin… but nothing a drop of facial oil won’t fix 🙂 Thanks for reading and enjoy your evening! Love, Kathleen

I use the mink oil from Mylène. This is a Belgian brand and they only sell through homeparties; You can read about this oil here: https://thegoodthefabandthelovely.com/2015/10/26/beauty-mylene-mink-oil/ perhaps you can find a similar oil?

I am very picky when it comes to fragrance don’t really have a buget one I like 🙂 but most of my make-up is more on the budget side and my skincare is a nice mix but usually mid to higher end.

I’m glad I found a couple of budget-friendly fragrances to use during the week 🙂 Concerning make-up I have bought an Urban Decay palette and love it! Will buy UD stuff again, I’m sure. And my skincare normally is L’Oréal, but now I am using Rainpharma, a Belgian eco-friendly product. There was a promotion with a magazine so I bought two magazines and got two boxes for Rainpharma products. Testing them out as we speak… you’ll probably hear from them in a couple of weeks/months time on my blog. Love, Kathleen
