Just over a year ago I did a post on How I Prep My Face and while I still use those products now and then, I have found some alternatives this year that I want to give some credit to. I've tested these products throughout the summer and I still really enjoy using them. They all give great results and really make my makeup last throughout the day.

Nivea Aftershave Balm

Ok, who remembers this one?! Yep, the beauty world went crazy over this and for good reason too! When you first apply this, you wonder just how good it will be. It's a runny formula that doesn't feel like it will make much of an impact. But don't judge a book by it's cover because this is a pretty darn good primer! I apply this after moisturiser and before my foundation and I find everything just looks more glowy and flawless! It's really easy to blend product on top of and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy at all. This product is also really affordable and available pretty much at any pharmacy/beauty store.

L'Oreal Infallible Fixing Mist

I was always sceptical about trying this product because of the millions of warnings of the powder residue that it can leave on your face if you don't shake it well enough. I've never had this problem but I do always give it a quick shake before I use it. This spray does sometimes make your face feel a little stiff, as if you've accidentally sprayed yourself with hairspray. But that soon goes and you forget you even spritzed yourself. This really extends the longevity of your makeup and it's now a must-have in my collection.
