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

Nanshy Foundation Brush Set
£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!

Review: My favourite perfumes

Hello my darlings!

I'm extremely sorry for the lack of posts, I have been overwhelmed with work at university & it has finally took it's toll. But, I thought I'd share with you my 3 all time favourite perfumes and why I adore them so much!

1. Kim Kardashian By Kim Kardashian

I went perfume shopping with one of my girl friends in Westfield & I came across this little gem! at first, I was abit hesitate to try it as I had heard quite a few bad reviews. However, the fragrance has totally won me over! it's floral, sweet scent really gives me a feeling of feminism and makes me feel good about myself! and it lasts all day long :) I believe I got it off an eBay site & it can be purchased here (cheapest I've seen it so far!)

2. Touch of Pink by Lacoste

I received this lovely gift for Christmas and, although I am more of a floral/sweet scented lover - I really like the scent. The freshness and fruitiness of the fragrance is quite refreshing, with hints of jasmine & orange giving it a modern and quite unique edge. The perfume can be brought from Fragrance Direct for a discounted price!

3. Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna

I was shopping a few months back, when the fragrance was first released and I instantaniously fell in love with it. It's floral, exotic scent really - well, I'd like to think - smells like how we would imagine Rihanna to smell. I felt sexy & sophisticated, and very glamorous! The gift set can be purchased here and is an actual steal!

I will be writing another review later! so let me know how you find the post!

What's your favourite perfume? Let me know!
