June Favourites

Hey guys!

It's the beginning of July (crazy!) which means it's time to share my June favourites with you.

I haven't really tried out any new products through June so I haven't got many favourites this month,

but I did pop into Boots and Superdrug recently to get some products I've been wanting to try out so

hopefully I'll have a bit more to show you next month!

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Excess Mascara

This was something I bought a little while back, I just never opened it for some reason. But I found it going

through all my make-up s thought I'd start finally using it and I am SO glad I did. It's definitely my new

favourite mascara. I don't like my lashes to look too fake. I like them to look quite natural and this mascara

is perfect for that. It doesn't clump, it's not gloopy and it doesn't dry out in a week, which is something

that annoys me about a lot of mascaras.

Garnier Pure Active Purifying Toner

This is a toner I use quite regularly. It's for spot prone skin (which mine is) and it helps dry out the spot

without drying out your whole face!

Real Techniques Blush Brush

I've had this brush for quite a long time now. I've always used it for blush as it is a blush brush.

But recently, I've started using it for bronzer and I'm really liking the outcome. I usually use the

big powder brush for bronzer but I feel this one is just a lot better for bronzer.

Nivea Pearl Beauty Gentle Care 48h Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

This is a bit of a random one but  but I just wanted to mention it as I've seen a lot of people talking

about stick deodorants recently and want to share my thoughts. I usually use spray deodorants as

I never really thought of using stick ones. But I wanted to switch it up and try something different so

I picked up this one and I'm instantly converted! I don't think I'll ever use a spray deodorant again. This feels

like it's actually working and keeping my under arms moisturised as well as I feel like some other

deodorants can leave it feeling quite dry. Really recommend trying something like this if you haven't before.

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion (Fair to Medium)

I know I featured this in my last favourites but I do REALLY love it. It gives a lovely glow and looks

very natural. It's pretty much idiot proof as well. It doesn't leave streaks or patches (as long as you

apply it evenly). I'm just really happy with this purchase and loved it so much I wanted to show it

to you twice!

L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation (N2 Vanilla)

This foundation is very highly talked about. I can see exactly why! This particular shade I usually
only wear when I'm more tanned and recently I have been because of the good weather. I really
love the coverage it gives and how flawless it looks. I think I'm going to go and purchase one a few shades
lighter just so I can use it all year round because I have really been loving this foundation a lot recently.
Plus it's inexpensive and L'Oreal usually have offers on.

May Favourites

Hey guys!

So it's been a while since I last posted but I'm back with my May favourites.

I haven't really been shopping much recently so I don't have a ton of favourites. But

I have however been de-cluttering recently which has made me rediscover some old favourites of mine!

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Sultry Samba

I never use to really be into bright lipsticks but over time I've grown to love them a lot. There's so

many amazing colours to experiment with and even if you have the most boring, plain make-up on,

put on a bright lip and it changes the whole look. Revlon lipsticks are my favourite. They have great

pigmentation, great colour range and they're so inexpensive and usually have 3 for 2 in Boots or Superdrug!
(Couldn't get a good swatch of it that did the colour any justice.
Definitely go and check it out though if you get the chance!)

Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel

If you read my blog you may have seen that I really love my Clean & Clear spot treatment gel. I still do,

I just rediscovered this beauty. I completely forgot I had It. I use to use it all the time. It's really amazing

and really reduces the redness and dried out any spot in just a few days. It is a bit more pricey than the

Clean & Clear one at £14. I got mine about a year or so ago and I'm almost sure it was only £10-£11 back then.

Anyway, I'm looking to try out the Mario Badescu range as  I hear nothing but good things about it.

I'll definitely be reviewing it on here if I do! 

Lush Ocean Salt 120g

You can honestly never go wrong with a Lush product. They're so on top on their game and they're

products are always spot on. I've never found an exfoliator that I even slightly liked until this one. It really

is so amazing. It smells like the beach to me, with the salty water and everything and who doesn't love that?

I have quite dry skin so when I first went to use it I was a bit hesitant just because I thought it might dry

out my skin even more but it did the opposite. It has avocado butter in it which keeps my skin soft and smooth.

Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion (Fair to Medium Skin)

I've never been one to fake tan or anything but, I don't mind using gradual tan products as I feel like they're

not as big of a commitment. I saw that Anna Saccone used this and I thought I'd give it a try because her

skin always looks so good and has such a beautiful glow. I'm quite pasty I'd say so I got fair-medium.

So far I really love it. It's easy to apply and quick to dry and gives you a lovely glowing tan.

Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder

Since the weather is getting a little bit nicer, I though I'd whack out the bronzer to give my pasty face a

bit more colour! I know this one is quite expensive but a little bit goes a long way with this. It's matte so

there's no shimmer which I love. It's easy to blend and on more pale people, like myself, it is hard to get

bronzer's to look natural on the skin. This one looks very natural on the skin and is great for contouring as well.

Primark Heeled Sandals

I'm a bit late on the heeled sandal trend but hey. I've wanted some for quite a while now. They're just so classic

looking and can be dressed up or down, which I love. Plus these ones were only £12 from Primark.. Bargain!
