We're officially half way though 2013! July is finally here and I am hoping that also means Summer is finally on its way - but we all know how untrustworthy British weather is...I have just realised that I haven't done a monthly favourites post for April and May (mainly due to exam stress) but I am hoping that the exciting products featured in today's post will make up for it. And without further a do, here's my June Favourites!
♥ revlon just bitten kissable balm stain - romantic
I recently picked this balm stain up at Superdrug along with another one called rendezvous and I absolutely love them - especially this shade! I could only describe this as a sheer yet buildable stain which leaves yours lips with enhanced colour and a lovely shine. The shade romantic is a classic red, which for those who want to wear red lipstick but is unsure about the boldness, this is the perfect thing! Since I have been busy with exams this month but do not want to go out of the house looking dead, these balm stains have been my go-to "lipsticks" as they do not require lipliners and they still look great! I am planning to wear this under my lipstick for my leaver's dinner and dance as I know the colour will last for a long time.
♥ smashbox lipgloss - afterglow
This lipgloss has also been my best friend. It is the perfect lipgloss consistency - not too sticky but still leaves an amazing shine. The colour is also perfect for the Summer, the lovely coral shade goes with any colour clothing that I wear! Do not be mistaken in thinking that this lipgloss gives a vibrant coral colour, this merely adds a colour sheen to your lips to create an easy look. I have been thoroughly impressed with these Smashbox lipglosses that I feel like I need to go get some more!
♥ real techniques brush - expert face brush
Since it is my dinner and dance in 4 days, I have been trying out different foundations throughout the month as I am not one to have a "make-up day" to test what I am going to wear, due to the fact that I hate taking makeup off and do not want to waste makeup. Anyhow, this brush has been my best friend in applying my foundation; it blends everything in perfectly and quickly, leaving my skin looking flawless. I must say that another advantage of this brush is that it is easily accessible and affordable, retailing at £8.99 from Superdrug. The bristles are super soft and is not harsh on the skin at all; the size of the brush is also perfect for the size of my face and I think I have found my favourite brush!
♥ chanel vitalumiere aqua foundation - 40 beige
MY NEW FAVOURITE FOUNDATION! Despite the hefty price tag of £32 for a mere 30ml, I absolutely love everything about this foundation (full review coming soon). It is a light-weight foundation which leaves my skin looking natural yet flawless. The best thing about this foundation is the consistency; although it is very liquidy when you first pour it out onto your hand, this makes it blend like a dream! Another benefit is that it has SPF 15 which is great for the Summer months!
♥ biolgo omega 3 serum
I have been using this for about 2-3 months now and I love it so much (hence why it is in my favourites). You get get this from a store called eCosway where they sell loads of products that actually work! This omega 3 serum leaves my skin feeling soft and supple; I apply this before my moisturiser day and night and it is the perfect makeup base as well as an overnight treament. There is 30ml in the bottle and it is lasting my for ages! It has definitely enhanced the appearance of my skin and I am so glad I discovered it.
♥ mac eyeshadow - woodwinked
And last but not least, a favourite eyeshadow! This is MAC's woodwinked and it is a gorgeous bronzey-golden colour that blends in a deep amber. It is the perfect one-sweep lid colour and blended into the crease for more definition all in all a very versatile shade! This colour can pretty much be paired with any other colour and still looks gorgeous. I bought this as a pro palette pan form so it was only £10 and I honestly love it so much!
That's all then! Those are my June favourites and I hoped that you ave discovered some products that you will try out!
Love, Nicole
