June Favourites

Hello Darlings!

June has been a very interesting month for me; officially finishing my first year at University and it's first set of exams, having to say goodbye to some amazing ladies and working towards a promotion at work. The weather has been amazing! meaning I have changed my winter make up look, to a bronzed diva summer look. Here are a few of favourites of the June month:

Benefit's Sunbeam Highlighter

£19.50

This bronze-tinted highlighter is definitely a must for any summer look. Similar to the top-selling High Beam, I find this highlighter easily blendable and gives your face a lovely glow. I have never used highlighters before I brought this item, and I really am enjoying using it! I dot it along my jawline, nose, eyebrows and above my lip - blending it with my foundation brush. If you are looking for a cheap, alternative highlighter MUA do a lovely powder highlighter in their 'Undress Me' range.

Nanshy Face Brushes

£34.95

As detailed in my last post, I really do love these brushes! Soft but stiff, these brushes give me a flawless finish in seconds! Just remember to put on a primer before foundation to give you that extra staying power.

MAC 'Riri Woo' Lipstick

Me wearing the lipstick 

Yes, I am a sucker for red lipsticks. However, this is my first purchase of a MAC lipstick. I am so happy with my purchase and cannot wait buy more MAC lipsticks! It is a deep red, but I do like the colour against my skin tone. It is also a semi-matt lipstick,  also a new trend in my lipstick collection. If you want something brighter than this shade, I would recommend the sister lipstick Ruby Woo. 

Bourjois BB Bronzing Cream

£9.99 from Boots

A BB cream with a hint of bronzer? Isn't this product just made for summer!? This is officially my first BB cream and I love the idea that when I go on holiday, I can still wear a touch of make up to create a gorgeous look. The only thing I have noticed that you need to moisturise well before using this product as it seem to get darker in dry places. All in all though, brilliant product!

Make up Brush Review - Nanshy Face Brush Set

Hello Beautiful,

Brushes are a common factor in any make up collection. I know I have too many blusher brushes to care, all of which serve different purposes. Over the end of last year, I have been trying to replace my make up brushes with new, quality brushes to achieve the perfect face.

I think it's fact universally acknowledged that the whole reason for face brushes is to create a somewhat natural, flawless finish. Nanshy Face Brush Set, available at Beauty Store 4 U, gives me that flawless look I desire!

Beauty Store 4 U are an independent make up retailer who specialise in delivering cosmetics and make up tools to the public. They are also official retailers of make up brands such as Coastal Scents, BH Cosmetics, Real Techniques, Nanshy, Shany Cosmetics and Sonia Kashuk. 

The Brush set

The set consists of 5 brushes (L-R); a blusher brush, a highlighting brush, a foundation brush, a cream blush brush and a contouring brush. All of the brushes are made of good quality 100% cruelty free bristles, and with them being stiff yet soft create the perfect flawless finish.

I am a huge fan of the foundation brush, as it is stiff enough to create a flawless face within seconds - which I struggle to do with a normal foundation brush. However, I am yet to try contouring brushes as I need to learn to contour properly! The brush set costs £35.95, which is a reasonable price for a set of quality brushes.

Overall, I am enjoying using these brushes and will keep you up to date on how they work out for me. However, I am thinking about doing a make up tutorial - would you like to see something like that on this blog? comment below or on the Facebook page.
