June Beauty Favourites


Hello Lovelies!
I hope you are all having a brilliant weekend! Today I'm writing about my June Beauty favourites, it's hard to believe we're in July already! It's my boyfriends birthday on Tuesday so I'm so excited to give him his birthday present. First year in a long time that I've actually been properly organised!

Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation
Since we are (slowly) getting into the Summer months I have been breaking out the lighter foundations. I have been such a massive fan of this for a while now and it's always in my makeup bag incase I fancy a lighter coverage. There has been such hype about this foundation over the beauty community and very rightly so I think! It is a very light-weight foundation but it still gives you decent coverage without looking cakey! It leaves a gorgeous glow to the face which everyone seems to be craving lately. I would honestly say this is one of my all time favourite foundations! I actually have done a review on it here if you would like to read abit more about it!

Garnier Summer Body
As you all know I am a massive tan-aholic and I am majorly obsessed with the Cocoa Brown tan. Recently I have been adding this Garnier gradual tanner to my routine to prolong my tan. I apply this just using my normal tanning mitt (avoiding dodgy orange hands!) every evening after I've tanned. It helps to maintain my tan that I have and also keeps my skin lovely and moisturised!

Models Own Hedonist
Again due to the Summer months I have been breaking out the Summer nail polishes. I was actually thinking of doing a Summer Nail Polish Picks post so if you would like to see that please let me know! I have been wearing Hedonist on my toes constantly this past month. It is the brightest of bright nail polishes and completely neon. It does dry to a matte finish but I just pop a bit of my Seche Vite over the top to make it glossy and long lasting. I don't think I would be brave enough to wear it on my fingernails but for the toes for the Summer it's perfect!

L'oreal Super Liner
Recently I have been getting back into wearing liquid liner on my upper lash line with a small flick. Since I have hooded eyes I can't get away with wearing a major flick because you literally would not be able to see it but for a bit of definition I have been liking just a thin line with a tiny flick. I have been a fan of the L'oreal liquid liners for quite a while now and while it's very difficult to get the original Carbon Gloss one I have been loving this recently. It's easy to apply, it stays on and it's easy to remove! What more could a girl ask for?

No.7 BB Lips - Blush Coral
I picked this up during the month as I had a No.7 voucher burning a hole in my pocket and I was so intrigued about these as they look quite similar to the Clarins Instant Light Perfector lip glosses. This has literally been in my handbag all month, I've used it so much that the writing has begun to come off the front (anyone else hate when that happens?) I am not normally a massive fan of lip glosses but I find this to be the perfect mix between a lipgloss and a lip balm  It's not sticky at all, still leaves a gorgeous gloss to your lips with a hit of colour. Next time I have a voucher I'll definitely be picking up another colour!

Bioderma Hydrabio Masque
I'm sure you all know at this stage if you follow me on Twitter about my horrible skin malfunction during the month. I don't even know how to describe it! My whole face was one big dry, flakey mess (attractive!) I was literally using everything I could to try and inject some moisture back into my skin. I started using this every couple of nights, leaving it on for about ten minutes and then taking off the excess with a cotton pad. I found it helped improve my skin along with my Hydro Care Serum that I blogged about here. Thank god my skin is now back to normal but I am continuing to use this at least once a week to make sure I get no repeats of what happened!

Dainty Doll Paper Roses
Possibly one of the cheapest blushes I own but it has won a place in my heart quite quickly is this cream blusher from Dainty Doll. I picked this up awhile ago along with a lipstick but the blusher has definitely become my favourite out of the two. It's such a gorgeous baby pink and it's so nice and subtle on the cheeks, perfect for an everyday look. I am amazed by the quality of it too, it's so amazingly pigmented you literally need the tiniest amount and it looks brilliant. I use my Real Techniques Stippling Brush with it and I am just in love with that combination (I probably should have included the brush too as it has been a firm favourite over the past month too!)

So those are my favourites for the month of June. Have you tried any of these products? What are your beauty favourites at the moment?

  3. I love it when I see favourites which are quite different to what everyone else is recommending! I think I may have to invest in the garnier summer body I need to get my tan on!
