July Favourites!

Hello lovelies! 

First of all I would just like to apologize for no favourites for June. In June I never really tried anything new, so there was nothing for me to put into my favourites and I didn't want to just gather any old products and chuck them in, so I decided to leave it for a month.

 Three of these products are new and I have had one for quite a while now. I know four items might not be much of a favourites, but these are the products that I have been loving through July.

Not the best picture in the world - apologies

Sleek - i Divine Au Naturel

I bought this a while back and never really used it, the first time I really used it was for my prom and after I used it for that I may have fallen in love with the shade on the top right which is a bronze shimmer. I haven't used all of the colours yet, but I'm loving using the third shade on the top left over my lid which is a matte very light brown with the bronze shimmer in the crease, and as the two shades aren't two dark they are great for a daytime look and are very natural. The first shade on the top left I use as a highlighter which I put on my brow bone which makes the eyes more noticeable and I use it in the inner corner of my eyes which is great for really brightening the eyes and making them appear bigger.

Bourjois - Healthy mix serum foundation

When I tested this foundation in boots the first thing I noticed was the smell; it smells amazing! It literally smells like a scented sun cream that you'd use when you were little; it's great! I have the shade 51 - light vanilla and it is a good match for my skin tone, as it looks very natural and I love how it has a matte finish, so there's no chance of looking shiny. It also lasts a long time as well and I can get through the entire day without thinking that it has faded or that I have gone patchy.

Barry M - Gelly hi-shine - Blue grape

I don't know why I didn't buy one of these when they first came out. I knew I wanted a nail polish that wasn't matte and had a shine to it, so I immediately thought of trying a hi-shine and it did not disappoint! The pigmentation of this is perfection! I only needed two coats until a good solid colour had built up.I also find that this polish lasts a long time without chipping which is a great bonus!

Carmex - moisturising lip balm

I have a love hate relationship with this lip balm, it shouldn't be a favourite, bit it is. The reason is that it burns; I'm not going to lie and I'm not being dramatic, but it literally burns for a couple of minutes after I've put it on. The burning does fade after a couple of minutes. Now you're probably wondering why it's in my favourites if it burns, but it does it's job. It claims to soothe, relieve and moisturise; it may not soothe, but it definitely moisturises. 

Beauty Haul

Hello lovelies!

The past week I have been shopping quite a lot this week in which I have pretty much made myself bankrupt; mostly because Superdrug have a 3 for 2 offer on which I just can't resist! I may also do a separate post of what clothes I bought, so I can keep all of the beauty items in this post. I would alos like to say that I didn't buy all of these in just one trip.

Essie: Turquoise & caicos

This colour is so pretty! Don't ask my what caicos is or how to pronounce it though, apparently it's an island... I'm not to sure.This is actually my first Essie polish and I'm so excited to try it! The colour is like a seafoam green pastel/ turquoise and at the moment turquoise is one of my favourite colours! This cost £7.99S

Bourjois: Delice de Pordre Peaux claires medianes 51 

Trying to type the name was a bit of the challenge.I have heard so people rave about this bronzer that I had to go and get one for myself, this will be my first bronzer. The packaging also seems amazing as it closes with a magnet and seems to be really sturdy. I'm excited to try it! This cost £6.99 which I don't think is too bad.

  Sleek: Divine Eye Shadow Au Naturel

I've been after a good naturals palette for a while now and I couldn't decide whether to buy this one or the Soap and Glory one and I was all set to get the Soap and Glory until I went into boots and they didn't have any of What's Nude left, so I decided to get this one and plus this one is cheaper, as it costs £7.99, and has a wider variety of colours, with four shimmers and eight mattes. I do apologize for the second picture as I had to try really hard to try and not get myself in it, as when I was taking this it wasn't long after I had woken up.

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

I've wanted this brush for a while now, but the price has always put me off as I think that £10 is quite expensive for a makeup brush, but I took the plunge and decided to buy it. I use a liquid foundation and this brush is specifically for cream or liquid foundation. The brush handle is easy to hold and the brush feels gentle and soft. I think I may be in love with a make up brush...

Katy Perry Lashes for Eyelure - Cool Kity

If you have seen my beauty wishlist you will know that these were on there. These are my first false eye lashes and I will be wearing or attempting to wear them for prom depending on how well I can apply them, but I've heard that they are easy to apply and they have a good amount of instructions all over the back of the packaging, I'll give it a go and we'll see what happens! These cost £5.95 and I don't have any complaints about that.

Rimmel London 5 in 1 Nail Care

This is another product that I featured on my beauty wishlist. I have tried this product a couple of times and I can see a difference already! Whilst using this my nails are also growing quite quickly as well! I love the brush, as I think the polish applies well and as it is also a base coat and a top coat it makes my nails look shiny, so I think when used over a colour it will really make the colour shine. I think this product is worth the money as it only cost £4.59

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

I also hear good reviews about these, so I thought that I would try them for myself (They fact that they were on 2 for £10 at Superdrug also helped me to get them, haha) One thing that I can't seem to stick to is Shampoos and Conditioners, I will rave about them and love them, but then as time goes on I get bored and want to try something new, so in came these. I also love the packaging, as I think that it's different and cute. I've also smelled this and the smell is amazing!

Revlon Lip Butter - Sweet Tart

I have worn this and I was won over by how hydrated my lips felt and how it made my lips look healthy. The colour is a bright bubblehum pink, but can be toned down for a more subtle summer/spring look. This colour also adds a perfect finishing touch to anything fun and girly. This is my second lip butter, as I also have Candy Apple and neither of them have disappointed. 

Maxfactor facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation

I've been after a foundation for a while since the one that I had didn't suit my skin tone and was slightly orange.I would swatch this, but it was expensive and I don't want to waste it, as I took these quite a while after I had originally done my makeup. I have the shade 'Warm Almond' and it is perfect for my skin tone, it is not to pale and looks very natural. The foundation is long lasting, as it has lasted all day and not worn off, smudged or gone patchy. The only downside is that it is very expensive, as it retails at £11.99
