My top beauty picks x

Since being on The Block I have a new found appreciation for time! The last few months have been go, go, go! ulta3 have come up with the perfect solution for busy gals - which has been a lifesaver! Their new Day To Play product line is the perfect way to get from a natural look to an evening look in under 5 minutes! Brilliant. 

The idea is to fill up your make up bag with a mix of versatile products. Palettes are great for this as you get a few different colours & shades in the one package. They're are far easier to travel with too! Below are some of my go-to products in terms of getting from day time look to evening with no fuss! 

During the day I like to keep it simple. I use a good moisturiser & then apply a Natural Pressed Powder & a Long Wear Matte Lip Cream. It's quick, easy and lightweight. The Soft Focus Setting Spray is a great little product for girls on the run. Popping it on in the morning helps to set & maintain the consistency of your powder. This means that a quick lip & eye touch up is all that's required for the night time look.

I make sure to keep the lip cream in my bag at all times as it's packed full of moist which is vital in this cold winter weather & I drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep my skin hydrated. 

ulta3 Day to Play with Elyse Knowles

When it's time to head out out at night it's all about adding some vibrance! I'm a big fan of a bold eye in winter - so ulta3's Mega Volume Mascara is like using a magic wand! Thick, long lashes changes your complete look in 2 seconds. Pair your lashes with a darker/smokey shadow using the "All About Eyes" palette. It includes a mix of matte, satin and metallic shades to create the perfect smokey eye. Don't shy away from adding some colour into your eyeshadows - it can make your whole outfit pop! 

Remember it's all about balance! If your going heavy on the eyes, keep your lips nude & natural! And if you can... keep your hands looking tidy with a natural shade of polish :) Head to ulta3 online to check out their products + their Instagram page for little tips & updates @ulta3 & Freshen up that make up bag of yours for winter. Treat yourself! :)
