Hello and welcome to my brand new DLB feature! Seeing as this is my first post, I thought I could post about the things we cant do without - the make-up staples! These are some of my favourite tried and tested everyday products. Obviously most peoples necessities are different, some people wouldn't be caught dead without eye-shadow, some couldn't live without lipstick, but there are products that everyone should have in their cosmetics bag! Here's a look at some good staple make-up products :)

This is a new product from Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts & Ultra cool JellyPongPong. Its specifically for pale skin and works with combination skin, so if you've got pale skin like me you will be pleased to know these do not leave you with the tell-tale orange lines!

This is the liquid version of the original Studio Fix powder foundation. With 26 shades of fabulous colours, this will give you great coverage and on a different note - smells amazing!


Industrial strength concealer. This comes in just 3 shades but is easily blended to match most skin colours. Less is more with this product and its perfect for the morning after the night before.


A highlighter that works so well you can immediately see the effects! This pearly pink highlighter will brighten up your face in an instant! Just dab a little bit on your cheek bones and below your brow and you will have that 'in love' look.


Sweep this blushers over your cheek bones for that peachy keen look! With a faint rose scent these little gems will make your day. For pale skin try Rose D'or and for slightly darker skin try Sienne 85.

6. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
You've all seen this little product before. It may only cost around £5 but its one of the best mascaras you'll find out there. For a more dramatic look try their Blackest Black range. This mascara has the qualities of a designer mascara at half the price!

7. Barry M Intense EyeLiners
These pencils are long lasting and come in the usual black and browns. However if one of your staples is a bit of colour, then look no further than the King of Colour Barry M. These pencils are affordable, which means you can buy lots of them! In the UK they can be found in large Boots and Superdrug stores.


Perfect for braving the winter months, this will make your lips as soft as silk and keep you looking gorgeous! There are 4 different products in this range - Original, Aloe Vera, Rose and Sun Protection. All that for 99p! These can be found in chemists, small Boots stores and supermarkets.

And how are you going to remove these fabulous products? With Lush's Ultrabland cleanser! This amazing cleanser will not only remove the stubbornness of make-up it will also keep your face moisturised.
