June favourites ♥

Boots Cucumber Eye Gel 

I forgot how much I loved this stuff. Its so cheap, it lasts forever and can be used in so many ways! I use it on my eyelashes pre-mascara and I also run some through my brows to smooth them into place. It doesn't do much for my under eye circles in all honesty but it really is refreshing and for £1.49 you can't complain. Try using this before mascara, it really is amazing! 

L'oreal Nude Magique BB cream

I got this in the purple version which is for dull skin. It comes out a grey/white colour and starts to "adapt" to your skin tone as you blend it in. I don't believe it really adapts to your skin tone as it is a little too dark for me but I actually like this as my neck is always a little darker than my face so it evens it all up nicely. It has a matte finish which I usually stray away from as my skin is so dry but this isn't drying at all. It makes your skin feel so smooth and soft. It has a low coverage so it wont really cover much it just evens everything out slightly. It is very yellow toned though so try it before hand! 

Topshop highlighter

I got this in the shade 'moonbeam' which is a nice rosey gold shade. It really adds a nice radiance to your face. 

Topshop Eyeliner 

I love this eyeliner! Its so easy to use - it has a fine felt tip nib and is perfect for beginners! It lasts very well but can end up smudging a little if you touch it.

Mac Mineralize skinfinish 

I used to use the shade 'light plus' for my everyday powder and I absolutely loved it. I use this shade (medium dark) as a bronzer and its gorgeous, it has a slight sheen to it in the pan but it doesn't show up on your face. This is definitely my favourite bronzer!

Bourjois Cream Blush 

I love love love this blush! I've worn this every day since I got it and i'm totally converted. I love the colour, its a gorgeous peachy apricot shade which is perfect for when the sun is out or not. It really adds a pop of colour to your cheeks and brightens up your face nicely.

Garnier Eye Roll On 

This is the first thing I apply in the mornings and it's lovely. It's so refreshing and really soothes tired eyes. The coverage is surprisingly good too. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder 

I've been using this in place of my YSL radiance powder (review here) as the YSL powder is a little too light for me now. I think every blogger has raved about this powder and it really is so good for the price!

Another haul... naughty

 

Bourjois  Magic Nail Polish Remover

There has been so many rave reviews on this that when I saw it in Boots I finally caved! To be honest I'm sort of on the fence with it - It it quick to use although removing red nail polish was a complete fail and I ended up with pink fingers!

 

Aveeno Moistuising Creamy Oil (full review)

This is my second bottle of this bad boy, its very moisturising but not greasy in the slightest. It has a runny consistency so it glides over your skin and doesn't require any rubbing in which is nice.

 

Hydraluron Moisture Booster (full review)

 This is also another repurchase! I wont bore you too much as I have written a full review but to summarise I love this stuff and I cant recommend it enough. Amazing product.

 

Estee Lauder Disappear Concealer

I bloody love a concealer me. I hate my dark under eye circles and I havent found that perfect under eye concealer yet so if i ever walk by a counter then there is sure to be trouble! This is one of the more expensive concealers that I have tried but so far so good! I think I prefer liquid concealers for under my eyes and this one is just the right consistency. It blurs my dark circles but isn't dry and cakey which I like.

  

Avene thermal Spring Water

If you read my blog then you will know that I have sensitive skin so a lot of products tend to iritate me. I use this as my toner after cleansing and I find that its nice and soothing. I do agree that it is just a glorified water but it works for me. If your skin isn't on the sensitive side then it's probably not a product that you need (lucky sods!)

 

Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm

I am already in love with this product! I love the smell of it, the taste, the texture and the results it gives. I purchased the lip scrub too try but I havent needed it as this lip balm is just so good! If you like honey then you will love this!

  

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

 I've always wanted to try the Lush lip scrubs so I took the plunge and brought the bubblegum flavour. I haven't tried this yet but I am looking forward to giving it a whirl!

 

Mac Mineralise Skin Finish in Medium Dark

 I had this in Light plus and it was my favourite powder. It was light and sheer so great for dry skin. As the sun has started to make an appearance every now and then I wanted a bronzer so I opted for the MSF in medium dark. Really love these powders!

MAC Makeup | Mineralize Skin Finish in Light Plus Review & Pictures

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Light Plus

I bought this from the mac store online for £21, I didn't want a really heavy powder so I thought I’d give this a try

What MAC say:

A luxurious domed face powder with minerals slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.

  

I love this powder, it’s defiantly the best one I have ever used and may have to say it’s even my HG for the moment! It very soft, silky and very natural - It's not cakey at all. I use NC20 foundations and this colour (light plus) seems to work well with those. 

MAC say that's it’s a low coverage but I’d say that this is definitely buildable. I use this every day and it doesn't break me out and it doesn't seem to irritate or dry my skin out like most other powders. 

I brush a little of this over my under eye concealer to set and it seems to work fine with me, it doesn’t settle in my lines. It also doesn’t oxidise at all which is great, I’ve tries so many different powders in the past and this is the one I’ve stuck with.

Definitely a thumbs up from me, will be buying this again when it runs out!
