Drugstore Product of the day!

Hey dolls! Summer is the most beautiful time of the year. The sun is shining. The shades are out. The sales are in and the oily T-ZONE is back. HUH??? Wait a minute. That's the not so beautiful part of the year. Yes that's what i am going to be talking about today. Ever noticed how you set out of your house, with your makeup perfectly applied and an hour later its all gone. Your skin is oilier and all you want to do is hide behind those sunglasses & hats. Yes we've all been there. In the summer it's not just your wardrobe that needs adjusting its your makeup/cosmetics bag too.
 So the other day i was out with my friends and one of them pulled out some blotting tissues, i got so excited as i have been meaning to buy some for ages and i just didn't know which ones to purchase as my skin was so sensitive.


"Absorbent blotting tissues to absorb excess oil from the skin in one easy motion. Ideal for use throughout the day to keep skin shine free." - The Body Shop

£4.50 The Body Shop for 65 sheets. 



Now usually i use translucent powder and that does the trick perfectly. It gives a nice flawless matt finish to your makeup and gets rid of any shine. However i found that my big tub of powder didn't always fit into my bag and i've always been worried that i'll have it in my bag and one day POOOF!! The tub will explode making my bag look like the inside of a cake mix. Not cool at all girls.
So that's why these are AMAZING. A summer girls handbag essential.


I also came across these
£3.56 at Boots, Superdrug & Bodyshop.
for 50 sheets

Now this one is amazing too. You can actually see the difference on the sheet. It doesn't smudge your makeup at all and it keeps you looking flawlessly shine free. It is perfect to fit into your handbag on a summers day. However be careful as these contain mineral oil so i wouldn't advise girls that are breakout prone to use these. 

I would highly recommend blotting paper especially if you live in a hot country. 

What products are in your summer makeup/cosmetic bag? What products can't you live without?
