June Favourites!


Hey Everyone! Today I am going to show you all the makeup products that I have been using and loving recently. They are all drugstore products (except one) or whatever you want to call them, so they will be available to buy from boots and super drug at reasonable prices if you wish to try them out! I hope you enjoy! xx






So the first two products I want to talk about are foundations! The one on the left is from Lush and in the shade 'Light Pink', the one of the right is Maybelline's 'Fit me!' Liquid foundation in the shade '120, Classic Ivory'. Now normally, I would use only one brand of foundation on my face, but my skin is quiet pale and most of the palest shades in foundations don't actually cover that much on you're face. Well, my face. So I decided to go for one shade up from the palest colour and it did cover up A LOT more on my face, but I ended up looking a lot darker then I hoped for. I decided that instead of wasting more money on a new foundation, I might as well just mix it with another colour. Lush's colour supplement was my first foundation and so as I the colour was near enough perfect to my skin tone I gave them a little mix and voila! The perfect foundation for my skin and maybe anyone who is just as pale as me! These two mixed together provide lasting coverage without looking or feeling caked in makeup and I would recommend both products to use separately or together to any girl looking to try out a new foundation.


The next product that I have been loving is Seventeen's Stay Time concealer and I have it in the shade Extra Fair. This concealer is perfect for covering up small flaws that can sometimes still be visible under foundation or other makeup. It lasts all day which is good because I hate having to re apply makeup throughout the day. This concealer blends quite well with the rest of my make up and conceals spots and redness without sticking out or highlighting them. Overall one of my favourite concealers that I've used!

                                         
The next products that I'd thought I'd show you is Great Lash Maybelline mascara and No7's new Lash Impact mascara. Lash Impact mascara is by far the best mascara I've ever bought. It is non-clumpy and extends you're lash length clearly and neatly. If that makes sense. Great Lash took me a while to get used to as the brush is about half the size of any other mascara brush I've used before. After using it for a while I discovered that having a smaller brush is actually a lot more helpful as it gives a more detailed look on you're lashes. The smaller brush catches each lash individually and gives you're eyes a much finer and smoother look. I love these mascaras so much and recommend that when you are in need of a new mascara, buy one of these as they are absolutely amazing.

                                               

So the last product that I've been using and loving recently is No7 High shine lip crayon, in the shade 'Delicate pink'. I understand that the picture would have looked better if the top was still pointy, but at least now you can see I have been using this product a lot. The colour is pretty and long lasting with, as it says on the container, a high shine to it. It always gives my lips a moisturised soft feel which is lovely, as well as looking pretty. Lips crayons are perfect to carry around and there are so many pretty colours to choose from, can't wait to try some of their other lip products!

So that is my recent favourites. I hope you enjoyed reading and would now be interested in trying some of these products out yourself! Thank you all for reading! xx
