Top 5 | High End Musthaves...

Yesterday I posted my top drugstore picks and today I thought I'd do the same for more high end products. Though some products can be fully duped in the drugstore, some products I really feel you get what you pay for and are definitely worth splashing out on and I would repurchase all these for sure! Some of which I think are fairly predictable... and so here they are...

1. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in "Bronze" - £32.00
This is a gorgeous bronzer and highlighter compact that claims to work well with deep and neutral blush tones and also the 5 colours can be used as eyeshadows. This looks amazing all year round but I especially love it in the summer as it works great with a tan. I got a application brush free with mine though I'm not sure this always comes with the product. I dust it across my cheeks and in the "3 shape" on my face and use the highlighter across the top of my cheekbones and browbone. Though it is pricey it does last such a long time, I've had mine a few years now and haven't hit pan yet!

2. Diorskin Nude - £32.00
I bought this foundation at duty free before I went on holiday last year and I L O V E it! It applies so nicely on to the skin giving a lovely glowy finish without looking oily in my t-zone! It lasts all day too without going patchy or oxidising at all and you only need a small amount to cover the whole face meaning the bottle lasts a long time (mine lasted a year!). In terms of coverage I'd say medium but it still gives a natural finish that doesn't look cakey at all! I'll be buying more of this in duty free in a few weeks!!

3. Mac lipstick in "Creme Cup" - £14.00
It's not secret how much everyone loves Mac lipsticks; there is such a wide range of colours but my all tiem favourite (of the ones I own anyway!) is Creme Cup. It's a gorgeous pinky nude that is ideal for daytime and also going out when teamed with a smokey eye - it's a sort of Kardashian style colour. At £14 they are only slighly more expensive than some drugstore lipsticks and Mac have so many colours and finishes there is definitely one to suit anyone! Love these lipsticks and can't wait to add more to my collection - and a quick tip for anyone going to America in the near future these work out to be only £9 with the exchange rate and price in America so it's worth stocking up... I know I will be when I go out to Seattle in August ;)

4. Benefit Porefessional - £24.50
This primer is amazing - it smoothes skin perfectly for foundation application. It reduces pores and the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines - whilst I can't speak for wrinkles and fine lines it definitely reduces pores and I find it makes my make up stay on much longer and really makes my foundation and cheek products apply much nicer and look amazing. I love this and again is cheaper in America so I'll be stocking up then!

5. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette - £36.00
I'm sure everyones heard enough about this palette now but it really is worth the money you pay and the colours are perfect for me as I love and usually only wear a neutral eye! Definitely recommend :)

I hope you enjoyed reading this post! Have you tried any of these products? What are your high end musthaves?
