This is a very late follow-up to a video I made last year that you guys seemed to enjoy: Top 10 Drugstore Makeup Favourites. At the time, I asked if you guys would be interested in seeing another Top 10 list of affordable tools, skincare, nail stuff and hair products and a lot of you said yes… so here it is – it’s only taken me a year to write it!

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past couple of months, you might not be aware that Real Techniques makeup tools have FINALLY launched in South Africa! *cheers* This news brings us great happiness and we are sure it is the same for many of you. But which ones do you need?

This post is inspired by an email we received from a reader who wanted some advice about the best way to cover her dark under-eye area.
