Five essentials I swear by Published 2014-01-10 [Style & beauty](https://darlinglovelylife.com/category/style-beauty/) 10 January 2014 · by Sara - Darling Lovely Life editor · filed under [Darling Lovely Life](https://darlinglovelylife.com/archives/) A short and sweet beauty post today. After the last [winter beauty post](https://darlinglovelylife.com/2013/12/my-five-must-have-winter-beauty-products/), I’ve been asked a lot about my general beauty must-haves. The truth is there are many products I use on a regular basis, but here are the five that I absolutely swear by and come back to time and time again. ## Rose water A handy cleanser and toner in one, smells beautiful, all natural and leaves your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Always a winner. ## Benefit Cosmetics Benetint I keep a small [Benetint](http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/benetint) in my handbag at all times. It’s great for those little beauty emergencies when you don’t have much time or space, a quick lip tint, a speedy blush. Where would I be without it? ## MAC Prep and Prime Skin Without it, I’m sure my foundation would completely congeal. [Prep and Prime Skin](http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/160/967/Products/Face/Primer/Prep-Prime-Skin/index.tmpl) is a product invented by some kind of genius. ## Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener I use [Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener](http://www.bobbibrown.co.uk/product/2335/24765/Makeup/Face/Correctors-Concealers/Tinted-Eye-Brightener/index.tmpl) in light bisque for my skin tone, a quick cover-up for dark circles and works well as a general concealer and or highlighter too. ## NARS blusher in Orgasm Simply the best blusher in the world. [NARS blusher in Orgasm](http://www.narscosmetics.co.uk/color/cheeks/blush/~/orgasm-blush) is one of those iconic and diverse products that works on so many skin tones and gives you a real… ahem… glow! I can’t recommend it enough. --- [Back to January 2014 in the archive](https://darlinglovelylife.com/archives/#m-2014-01)
