June Beauty Favourites

This month I have so many amazing favourites with some already getting my holy grail approval. I have been obsessed with this products and I would recommend them to anyone! One product in particular, stands out against the rest and I feel like everybody needs one in their makeup bag.

Must Have Lip Products for on the Go

My handbag is full of nothing but lip products and these are the ones I have had in my handbag lately. and have been using the most. I like to keep products that can be applied quickly on the go with minimal fuss but will keep the lips feeling soft and hydrated but with the occasional hint of colour.

Leighton Denny Nails

I have been really into doing my nails again lately so these Leighton Denny nail products couldn't have arrived at a better time. I have been trying to grow my nails to a decent length again as they weren't in that good of a condition and these two products have really helped get my nails back to normal.

Zoeva Summer Strobe Spectrum Palette (+ Swatches)

I don't own too many highlighting palettes and this was the perfect addition to my makeup collection. I have always loved the Zoeva products and brushes I have tried and this has not disappointed me! If you are looking for a stunning new highlighting palette, this might just be the one for you!

Rimmel Cara Camo Collection Review

I have been on a real Rimmel kick lately and I was so impressed with the #Insta Collection so I was excited tto see the new Camo collection. All of these products are already available but have been repromoted with some cool camo packaging. Everybody seems to love a bit of camo at the moment so it is very on trend!

My Current Brow Routine

I have the worst eyebrows possible, they are so thin and small while not being a great shape so I need all the help I can get! These are the products I am currently using for my brows, I don't tend to switch up the products I use on my brows too often as I am very fussy and I like to know that I can achieve decent brows every day and not have to worry.

Cover FX The Perfect Light Highlighting Palette

I have never tried anything from Cover FX before and of course, the first thing I would try would be highlighters, I am still obsessed with highlighters far too much! This palette has really impressed me in the time that I have been using it and I think it was often been overlooked as I hadn't heard anything about it until a month or so ago!

Favourite Products Under £5

While a lot of the makeup in my collection and makeup bag is a little more expensive, I am still always looking for incredible products on a budget. One of my favourite brands, Essence, is so affordable and I am always recommending their products. I thought I would share some of my favourite products that are under £5 each, I have repurchased some of these so many times I have lost count.

Best of Skinny Tan

After I tried out the Express Tan from Skinny Tan, I knew I had to try out even more from the brand! I have been putting more products from the brand to the test and I haven't been disappointed. If you are wanting to get tan for summer without sun damage, definitely check out Skinny Tan!

Rimmel London #Insta Collection

Rimmel has been really impressing me with their newer launches I have to admit! With each new launch, I am finding products that are incredible value for money and ones I couldn't be without now that I have tried them. This collection is one of the best launches to the high street all year in my opinion. This #Insta Ready collection has clearly been inspired by Instagram and being selfie-ready.

Favourite Highlighting Brushes

As I am super obsessed with highlighters, I need the best brushes to be able to apply that mega glow. These are my go to brushes when it comes to highlighting the face and I also have recommendations for which brushes to use with the Jeffree Star Skin Frosts as some brushes just don't work well with those at all!

Bright Bold Nail Polishes for Summer

I wrote a nail polish post about a few of my favourite products for Spring/Summer but I thought it was time to do an update! I have been obsessed with bright, bold nails and this selection has been my go-to selection shades. Recently, I have only been wearing nude nail polishes but all of a sudden I have been in love with bright nails - I am blaming it on the sunshine!

Palmer's Coconut Oil Hair Care

My hair had been driving me mad as it has been looking so dull and dry and I couldn't work out why so it was time to try out some new products and these haven't disappointed! I have been a huge fan of the Palmer's body care products for years, and have been testing out their skincare range too which I am obsessed with. The hair care products met my expectations and more!

Summer eBay Bargains

I love eBay and I am forever finding bargains and hidden gems on the site. I thought I would start a new series and share some of my favourite finds and this time, it's all Summer themed! I am not usually a fan of Summer time I must admit but stuff like this has me loving it!

Colourpop Blotted Lips

Everybody has been raving about these products so when Colourpop had free international shipping a while back, I thought I would get a couple of shades and see what all the fuss was about! I have never been a massive fan of matte lips or liquid lipsticks as I find them to be uncomfortable and drying on the lips but these are great and I might finally be converted to matte lips!

Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara

My favourite makeup product is mascara, I don't wear false lashes daily so I am always on the hunt for the best mascaras. I like my lashes so long they touch my brows so finding a mascara that does this is like gold. One of the main issues I have with my mascaras is that they transfer onto the skin but this one is phenomenal.

Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow in Kitten Karma

This is one seriously hyped about product and I have to say now that I have tried one, I want every shade! These are unlike anything I have used before and I don't think I have ever been so impressed with any eyeshadow product. These are pricey, especially in the UK but if you want to treat yourself to some glitter, you can't go wrong with these!

Highlighters for Lighter Skin Tones

I am obsessed with highlighters but as I have extra light skin, it can be difficult to find highlighters to suit my skin tone. These are the highlighters that I am obsessed with and find look the best on my skin tone, I can't wait until I have a bit of a natural tan so that I can wear some gorgeous golden toned highlighters.

Father's Day Fragrances

Father's Day is just a few days away and I find my Dad to be one of the hardest people to buy gifts for! I always go for a fragrance or two for him as I know it is something he will actually use and not something he usually treats himself to. If you are struggling for a gift to get your Dad for Father's Day, one of these would be greatly appreciated I think, you can't really go wrong with fragrances!

Jessica Prime Nail Polish Collection (+ Swatches)

I have been loving painting my nails again recently and this collection has me set for Summer. I have always loved Jessica nail polishes, I have been using them a lot more recently and they haven't disappointed. If you are on the hunt for some fun Summer polishes, this collection is for you!

Custom Palettes with Essence

I am a huge fan of Essence, I think they are by far my favourite budget brand and you honestly can't beat the quality. As soon as I spotted these on Instagram, I was so excited to try them for myself and they have gone beyond my expectations and I will be heading to Wilko soon to make another few palettes as I am that impressed with these!

My Five Favourite Palettes

I must own a full drawer full of palettes yet these are the ones that I always go back too. When it comes to my makeup collection these days, I do like to invest in higher quality palettes epically as I find that they are almost always worth the price tags. A few of the palettes included are around the £40 mark but they are definitely worth saving for, if you ask me!

Institut Esthederm Summer Favourites

I am going on holiday at the end of next month so I am trying to find a great selection of products to take away with me to ensure that not only is my skin protected against sun damage but will also help accelerate my tanning process. I had never tried any products from Institut Esthederm and these were the perfect introduction!

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution Review

I love trying out new skincare products and I have been wanting to try The Ordinary for a while now after hearing everybody rave about the brand. And they weren't wrong! This product has completely transformed my skin and I can't wait to try out even more from them soon.

Colourpop Pressed Shadows Review (+ Swatches)

I am a huge fan of Colourpop and their Super Shock Shadows are some of my all time favourites. Preema (she has one of the best beauty Instagram accounts ever so check her out) usually likes the same products as me so I asked her if she liked them and I ordered 12! I had been wanting to make my own palette for the longest time but it can get expensive so I took advantage of Colourpop having free international shipping and a good offer on these shadows.

Lancôme Matte Shakers Review (+ Swatches)

I was a massive fan of the Juicy Shakers when they launched, so much so that I actually completely used up mine so I was very excited to hear that they were launching matte versions! I hate liquid lipsticks so these sounded right up my street as they are to be so comfortable on the lip they are undetectable.

Finding Local Professionals with Bidvine

Sometimes we all need professional help whether it be you need a plumper or a piano teacher and Bidvine has you covered. The site couldn't be any easier to use and find the best local professionals for you.

Ted Baker Say It With Flowers Set & Lip Balm

I have always loved the Ted Baker beauty range and last month they launched a gorgeous new collection, the ultra-feminine Porcelain Rose Bath and Body Gift Collection. This collection includes some stunning gift sets, all of which are available at Boots.

Alpha H ASOS Exclusive Kit

I love trying out new skincare and Alpha H is one of the brands that I have wanted to try for the longest time! ASOS have a great deluxe sample set so you can apply a selection of the products before buying the full sizes. I love sets like this as I can try before I buy so to speak.

Blistex Lip Balms

I am never without a lip balm, I have one stashed away everywhere from my handbag to my desk to by bedside cabinet. There is nothing worse than dry lips and what I found with a lot of lip balms I have used before is that they would actually dry out my lips rather than having long term hydrating effects. But with Blistex, my lips have never been softer!

The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Mask

I am obsessed with face masks and I have never really tried any from The Body Shop or their skincare for a while. This mask is massively raved about and dubbed as a dupe for one of the GlamGlow masks and with those being so expensive, I was super interested to give this a try!

May 2017 Degustabox (Picnic Box)

Degustabox is one of my favourite subscription services, who doesn't want food?! If you don't already know about Degustabox, it is a food and drinks subscription box and each month you will receive a surprise box of goodies for £12.99 including postage and packaging. If you haven't used the service before, I always have a great discount code for £6 off your first box at the end of the post!

Rimmel Super Gel Nail Polishes & Top Coat

One of the main reasons why I don't paint my nails often is because they will chip usually within 24 hours, it doesn't matter what my nail polishes or top coats I use but they always chip! When these products arrived on my doorstep, I was very interested to try them out, as they claim to last up to 14 days and if I only have to paint my nails once every two weeks - I am all about that!

Summer Must Haves from Zhuh!

Zhuh! is a new brand to me and it is stocked at Ideal World. I personally love TV shopping channels and find myself watching them all the time and with Summer quickly approaching, these products are going to have you sunkissed!

So Eco Face Brush Kit

Makeup brushes are always something worth investing in and if you can find great quality brushes at an affordable price, I always recommend and stock up! So Eco is a newer brand to me that I only started using this year but they are some of the softest brushes I have ever used!

Emporio Armani Sunglasses from WatchShop.com

With the Summer now here, at least for a week or so knowing British weather, it's time to get the sunglasses out! I have never had a nice pair of sunglasses and these are definitely something I would recommend investing it now that I own an amazing quality pair. I think people often forget that they need to protect their eyes from the sun, not just their skin!
