Daily Makeup

First of all, sorry for not posting regularly! What with going to work, sorting out lots of uni things for September, starting driving lessons and seeing friends, it's been pretty busy!

This is a collection of the makeup I use on a day to day basis. Personally I find blush looks a bit overdone on me, so I save that just for nights out! I've been using all these products for a while now, and lots of them will be repurchases! 

Face: 

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder

L'Oreal Paris Glam Bronzer

So clearly I am loving Rimmel products at the moment! The foundation is a great one for summer, containing SPF18, it feels really light on the skin and leaves a nice glow! The bronzer has hardly any glitter or shine in it, making it so practical for day, this is in the shade Golden Bronze which I love as it doesn't make you look orange! 

 

Eyes:

Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner

Clinique High Impact Volume Mascara

I found this eyeliner took a bit of getting used to as the pen nib isn't that flexible, it is great for being precise and creating that perfect flick however, I might go back to liquid eyeliner just as it's easier, and lasts slightly longer. I absolutely LOVE this mascara though! It really does what it says in the name, making my lashes look longer and thicker.

 

 

Others:

BodyShop Born Lippy Strawberry Balm

Real Techniques Stippling Brush

Real Techniques Blush Brush

I always just use a balm during the day, either the one above or a Nivea one as they are the best for moisturising! This one also has a tint of colour in it, which is slightly red. The Real Technique brushes don't really need an introduction! Personally, I find them to be the best for affordable prices and quality. And another plus, they are really easy to clean back to as if new.

Thanks for reading, if anyone has some recommendations of new products I'd love to hear them!

June Beauty Favourites

Another month has gone by so quickly! After a few relaxing weeks off I am back to work... typically just when the sun has started to show! Here are just a few things I've been loving and using non-stop this month:

Body Shop Mango Lip Butter: In my opinion Body Shop has the nicest smelling products, and this is no exception! These butters last forever, and are really creamy but without being sticky. I tend to use this before going to sleep to really hydrate overnight.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish (Soft and Gentle): This was my first MAC product, and has been in my makeup bag ever since. This gives a gorgeous summer glow and is not too much for my pale skin! This will work out great value as a little goes a long way.

MaxFactor Glossfinity Nailpolish (forever glam): The perfect deep pink. I was really impressed with how little this chipped, and only one coat is needed.

Rimmel Wake me Up Concealer: This really does illuminate and brighten under the eye, with a medium coverage. I particularly love this as it more of a yellowy tone rather than pink which can be hard to find in the paler shades.

Jergens Original Beauty Lotion: I have been using this moisturiser since last summer and is a firm favourite. It has a light texture, and sinks quickly into the skin, great when in a rush. Personally, I love the cherry-almond smell, although it may not be for everyone. This really helps get rid of dryness from winter, and leaves the skin much softer ready for shorts and summer dresses!

I love reading monthly favourites, and always happy to hear of any more amazing products out there!
