July Favourites


I can´t believe tomorrow is already going to be August! Time goes by so fast!
This month for my base I have been loving the Nars Tinted Moisturizer in Alaska, since I have had a few breakouts the Makeup Forever Full Cover concealer in 06 was a must, this stuff is amazing it covers everything! In July most days I skipped blush, Say What?!? I used mainly Nars Laguna Bronzer, but in the days I did use blush I used Nars Gina. 
When it comes to eye makeup I used the Bobbi Brown Sand Palette ( review here) and Mac Teddy eyeliner. For lips I have been obsessed with Mac Patisserie not a very summery colour I know! But when I´m feeling something bright I reached for Mac Lustering or Ysl Gloss Volupté in 206.

The Summer Lip Edit





It seems Summer finally has arrived, even though the other night was pouring rain!
But as I´m typing this the sun is out, so I thought it was the perfect day to write about my favourite lip colours for summer, in case you couldn´t tell there are mainly hot pink!

The Lipsticks:
-A few months ago The Body Shop released new shades from their Colour Crush Collection my favourites are the shades 14( fuchsia hot pink), 15 ( warm hot pink) and 18 ( coral-strawberry), yes I´m terrible at describing colours! They are quite sheer but you can build them up, perfect for Summer

- Mac Flat Out Fabulous ( Hot Pink with a purple undertone) ( It´s a Retro Matte finish so you will need to exfoliate your lips and loads of lip balm before you apply it!)

- Mac Lustering ( Strawberry colour) It´s a luster finish so is a little more sheer and moisturising.

- Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 44 La Diva ( LE) ( Bright Pink with purple undertones)

- Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 06 Pink Pong ( Fushia Pink) it dries Matte


 The Glosses

- Chanel Glossimer 179 Murmure 

- Ysl  Gloss Volupté 206

Currently Loving # 1


Now that the sun is coming out more and we are getting ready for Summer, even though the rain has come out a few times, NOT ACCEPTABLE it´s JUNE!!!! I have been craving the bronze Goddess look with a pop of colour on the lips.
So here is a few products I have been loving, The Ysl Touche Eclat foundation because it gives me a little bit of colour without making me look orange, I just slightly blend it into my neck (my shade is B40), this is a dewy foundation so soon enough I will have to stop wearing it because during the Summer my skin gets very oily so I have to use more matte foundations or Say Goodbye Dewy look and Hello Oily Hot Mess, and yes there is a Difference!!! One looks amazing, fresh and healthy and the second looks gross not a good look! But for now while is not super hot I can still wear it, I love this foundation!
Next we move on into bronzer I´m obsessed with this bronzer from the Clarins summer collection ( review here), I have been using it a lot. For blush I feel back in love with my Nars Blush in Gina its a beautiful matte peach blush I love it it has hardly left my cheeks this past few weeks and for highlighter I have been loving Betty-Lou Manizer from The Balm that just adds a beautiful bronzey glow.
Now onto eyes I could do a post just about my favourite eyeshadows but one in particular that I have been loving is Indianwood paint pot from Mac, it´s a gold-bronze eyeshadow to me is like mac woodwinked in cream form, I have been wearing this look with  my new favourite lipstick Mac Flat Out Fabulous, I´m obsessed with this amazing Hot Pink colour, it´s a retro matte formula so I would advise you to exfoliated and moisturiser your lips very well before you use it. And finally another favourite is a Mac Lustering its a beautiful pink-straberry-berry colour?? I´m terrible at describing things! Iam in Love with it so pretty for Summer. So here are a few of may favourites products at the moment.
