MY TOP 6 MAKE-UP PRODUCTS 2022

I have increased this list from five to six items for 2022, however the

6th item is a make-up tool.

Yet again, as in 2021, there is one brand that dominates this list

 and it just shows how much of a fan, I am, of the brand

BY TERRY

and that's due to the fact that they formulate great make-up

 for the more mature of us.

These highly recommended products below, once again carry

a luxury price tag and in my opinion are all well worth the spend.

BYTERRY

LIQUID LIP BALM

Having already tried, reviewed and loved the other 2 formats of

this cult-classic, I was so happy that this Liquid Lip Balm didn't disappoint.

A liquid version of the Baume de Rose Lip Balm, this Vitamin-rich balm 

offers intense moisturising and protection.

Perfect for quick and easy touch-ups on-the-go. 

It was the ideal size as it took up hardly any space in

my hand bag or pocket.

I was expecting great things from the Liquid Lip Balm as it carries a

premium price tag and my "great" expectations thankfully were met...

LIP EXPERT

SHINE LIQUID LIPSTICK

Formulated to keep your lips hydrated, this lipstick offers irresistible shine 

with a vibrant colour for plump and radiant lips.

I found the rich pigment to be long lasting and above all extremely 

comfortable and nourishing on the lips.

I do enjoy a shine finish and this shine formula is the perfect amount

Besides being my perfect shade (Rosy Kisss), 

I may have found my absolute favourite lipstick of all time...

CRAYON KÔHL

TERRYBLY EYELINER

OH MY...BYTERRY certainly know how to make 

eye crayons/pencils/liners etc.

This eye pencil/eyeliner has an incredibly soft ultra-creamy texture, 

with a precision tip and glides on effortlessly with precision

 and ease.

If you've never been overly confident with eye pencil application

then I highly recommend this pencil, as it couldn't be any easier to apply.

It's a perfect softness and smudginess for the oldies to use, whilst it

doesn't pull our already stretched skin on our eyelids.

Again BY TERRY delivers another fantastic product and it's by far

the best eyeliner pencil that I've ever used

and that's saying something.

BLENDER SPONGE

Not a make-up product but a make-up tool, I am still loving

my Blender Sponge.

I'm enjoying the shape, the squishiness and the way it feels

in my hand and it seems to be lasting well with no breaking 

up of the sponge.

 I think in the future these will be my blending sponge of choice.

FENTY BEAUTY

EAZE DROP

BLURRING SKIN TINT

It offers a light to medium coverage, it's as light as air and blends

beautifully and more importantly it looks just as good at the end of the

day as when I first applied thanks to its

humidity, sweat, and transfer-resistant formula, which is ideal for

the Durban climate.

It's hydrating, comfortable and weightless on the skin, so much so that

 you actually forget you have any product on. 

I found it to smooth the skin whilst blurring those imperfections and was 

one of the best products that I have ever tried for that no 

make-up, make-up look.

Ideal if you are not an avid wearer of foundation, but just require some

extra help with evening out the complexion.

It's easy to apply and above all, super flattering, especially for a

mature skin.

Rhianna did a good job with the EAZE DROP as it's all she wanted it

to be and I highly recommend you check this product out.

MAYBELLINE

LASH SENSATIONAL

SKY HIGH

MASCARA

My quest to discover great mascaras is always ongoing, however

 I've found my "New" current favourite, in the form of the 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara 

and I've been loving it.

It's a mascara that grants incredible lash length and volume. 

This washable formula is easy to apply and buildable, 

doesn't flake or smudge.

This mascara for me is a winner and it will go straight onto

my list of Top 5 Mascara List.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MAY/JUNE 2022}

 I have some great products in this Monthly Favourites post and as 

seems to be he norm over the past couple of years, BY TERRY products

feature once again. Besides loving their primer and their make-up

 blending sponge I also found a wonderful body scrub from NÛXE, a skin tint

from FENTY BEAUTY and a rich night cream from our very own local brand

 RAIN.

NUXE

RÊVE DE THÉ

REVITALISING GRANULAR SCRUB

I do love a good granular exfoliating body scrub/exfoliator and this

newly launched one from NÛXE just hit my body scrub "spot" perfectly.

 Its granular texture and its irresistible scent with notes of green tea, 

rhubarb and fresh herbs delight the senses to create a revitalizing 

sensation of freshness.

 Formulated using plant-based exfoliants, this scrub with its crushed

 ice effect texture exfoliates and smoothes the skin.

 Freed of dead surface skin cells, skin feels revitalised and renewed. 

 For me it combines the perfect exfoliation with a great refreshing fragrance

It's truly bliss for the senses and I adore it...

RAIN

RELAXING NIGHT CREAM

My love of rain body and bath products goes back a long, long way

and then several years ago they entered the face care arena

with a collection of 10 products, of which I have now reviewed 4. 

Knowing that I am a devotee of several French/UK/Swiss brands when

 it comes to good face care products, I was admittedly a little sceptical,

but oh! my! this night cream was a hit with both hubby & I.

This calming night cream has an ultra-rich and luxurious texture and it's

  the type of texture that's reminiscent of the night creams pre the

cream/gel era.

Despite having a rich texture, which is an absolute pleasure to apply

 to a dry/ very dry skin, it isn't heavy at all.

The skin feels comforted, nourished but more importantly non greasy,

which can be an issue with night creams.

It slotted into my existing skincare product line-up perfectly

and not only does it smell of calming Lavender, but a little goes

a long way and it proved to be very cost effective.

BLENDER SPONGE

This blender sponge was part of my Beauty Advent Calendar and this 

agains just goes to prove how great these calendars can be, as I would

never have bought this blender, as I'm a fan of the 

Original "Beauty Blender" make-up sponge.

Since using this one from BY TERRY I don't think I can go back to the

Beauty Blender.

My short review was part of Mays QPR post.

UV BASE

SPF 50

This ingenious skin-shielding primer

will PRIME, PERFECT and PROTECT your skin.

The fresh, lightweight cream gel texture gives a non-greasy, dewy finish, 

providing the perfect canvas for all your make up application.

This is the perfect way to slot sunscreen into your regime without any of the 

hassle and ensure that your skin has the best protection possible, simply apply

 it daily before make up and you’re good to go.

I personally found myself loving this product just as my daily face SPF

irrespective of whether I was applying foundation or not.

FENTY BEAUTY EAZE DROP BLURRING SKIN TINT {REVIEW}

 Once the launch frenzy of FENTY died down here in South Africa 

I popped into the Gateway ARC Store to check out a couple of products

and also take a closer look at what FENTY BEAUTY had to offer.

I've previously reviewed the FENTY Full Frontal Volume & Control Mascara

 which I enjoyed very much read review here

The main aim of my visit to ARC was to check out the Korean brand

ERBORIAN and their infamous CC CREAM,

which I did and quickly reeled back at a R820 price tag.

Over to check out FENTY and the consultant was quick to pick up

on my ERBORIAN disappointment and offered to colour match my

skin with the FENTY EAZE DROP, which is a blurring skin tint.

Before I knew it I was sitting at the ARC bar having the EAZE DROP

matched and applied and I just knew then that I was going to love it.

Rihanna wanted to create a light coverage, easy-to-apply, flexible skin tint

 that instantly evens out your complexion and give a flattering blurred effect. 

Eaze Drop, with hydrating QuickBlur complex, is perfect for a no-makeup

 makeup look, or for when you want to look effortlessly put together. 

They have a great selection of 25 adaptable shade options to 

blur and perfect all skin tones

My shade is number 8 a light medium shade with warm undertones,

which is perfect for winter, but I think I'll get re-matched for summer.

It layers well with skincare or a primer and can be applied easily and gives a

 lovely finish to the skin whether you use your fingers, a brush or a 

beauty sponge.

As the name suggests the product is dispensed with EAZE and the

squeezy container allows control over the amount of drops you use.

It offers a light to medium coverage, it's as light as air and blends

beautifully and more importantly it looks just as good at the end of the

day as when I first applied thanks to its

humidity, sweat, and transfer-resistant formula, which is ideal for

the Durban climate.

It's hydrating, comfortable and weightless on the skin, so much so that

 you actually forget you have any product on. 

I found it to smooth the skin whilst blurring those imperfections and was 

one of the best products that I have ever tried for that no

extra help with evening out the complexion.

It's easy to apply and above all, super flattering, especially for a

mature skin.

to be and I highly recommend you check this product out.
