July Faves




So it's that time again the monthly faves, I still can not we are now in August where the hell is this year going? Is flying by so fast, Not much in my faves this month but here we go.......






Essie Sugar Daddy & Vanity Fairest - To be honest I have not worn much polish during July which for a nail polish addict like myself is a shocker but my nails were really starting to feel the effects of constantly wearing polish so I decided to let them breath for a bit and it has really helped although felt very weird, but when I have been wearing it i've been loving sheer polishes and baby pinks, first it was Fiji and then most recently it has been Sugar Daddy which is a very sheer baby pink and gives a lovely hint of colour to nails and then the other one has been Vanity Fairest which is just a stunning pastal pink with a pretty shimmer in it.

Mac 'Painterly' Paint Pot -I've had this for ages now and got SO much left and I think I used this every time I wore make up in July it is the perfect base for my eye shadows and really holds them in place and also I've been using it as a concealer under my eyes now i'm not sure if it is meant for that but my god it is amazing!

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen WOW Foundation- Had this for a few months now and it plain to say I love this, it so light and gives good coverage and easy to apply all the things I love in a foundation and has good lasting power.

Compeed Blister Patches- HA a rather random fave this month but being such a short arse I need *cough want *cough* to wear high heels quite often just to give myself some height but my god there is nothing worse than on a night out and the back of ya shoes rubbing the hell out of ya heels well thanks to these magic things that no longer happens, I whack them on my heels before we head out and aaah no rubbing and no blisters woop!

No7 Fanomenal Lashes Mascara-  I've been using this for a few weeks not and I have to say I am very impressed, it the first No7 Macara I have purchased and was a bit dubious at first just because I have never tried their mascaras before and only got this on a whim as had one of their £5 of vouchers but I would happily re purchase this as makes my lashes look so much fuller and longer, a few people have been asking what mascara it is i'm wearing when I use it so i take that as a good thing.

Mac Crew Highlighter-I've had this for a few months now and I know it is sold as a highlighter but it does not suit my skin as highlighter so I use it as a blush, when swirled all together it gives a beautiful subtle flushed look to my cheeks which for the summer months I really like and have been wearing this a lot for the past month

May Faves








MAC Blush Pink Swoon. & Dainty

I've had both of these for a while now and wore them non stop for ages when first got them, and then for a few months they've just been sitting there not being used, but with the beautiful hot weather we've had recently I don't like too wear too much make up in hot weather so these blushes are fantastic for just adding a hint of colour to ya cheeks and with Pink Swoon  you can easily build it up if you want more colour, and Dainty is beautiful as got such a lovely hint of shimmer in it. I've been wearing these a lot over the past month or so.

 Nails


This month I have gone a bit mad on buying Essie polishes now that they are available in Boots, and also been loving Neon shades on my nails and when I was in my local Sallys I came across a brand Nina Salon Pro and they are bloody amazing dry quick,only need 2 coats and so shiny once dried love them. My most worn Nail polishes this month have been Essie Cute As A Button,Essie Tart Deco,Nina Salon Pro 'Like Butta' and China Glaze 'Pink Voltage'


 Foundation & Primer

A few weeks ago I was in my local House Of Fraser and walked past the Benefit counter and thought I would get myself matched for their new foundation and I'm Ivory...Believe in me' and as soon as the MUA matched me I knew I had to get a bottle and at £24.50 it is a bit on the steep side but it is amazing the main thing I love is that has spf25 so I don't wear it at night or if I know I'll be having my photo taken, it applies like a dream and is nice and light but gives such a good coverage, and I've been pairing it with my L'OREAL Lumi Magique Base which is described as a pure light primer which leaves ya skin looking radiant and glowy which looks so nice with the foundation over the top, they say you can also just use it as a highlighter on it's own as well but I'm yet to do that as I'm so in love with my MAC Soft and Gentle.

April Faves

Skincare Products

  


Sanctuary Deep Cleansing Facial Wash- This is just amazing,smells nice and fresh lathers up really well and my skin feels amazing after using it,been using it for past month now and a tiny bit goes a long way when using this so I know it's going to last for a while yet.

Soap And Glory 'Rich and Foamous'- Not really much to say about this really,just like all the S&G products it is amazing and the smell is so good a realy nice subtle sweet honey smell and the scent lingers on my skin for ages after the bath


Soap And Glory ' Greatest Scrub Of All' Facial Exfoliator - Along with my Sanctuary product and S&G Peaches and Clean my skin has been *touch wood* amazing since been using all three of these products, not had a break out for a couple of months now I highly recomend it.


Face Products








Bourjois Perfect 123 Foundation- I was in Boots a few weeks ago looking for a new cheapish foundation to use on a day to day basis and came across this so thought well give it a go, and ever since then it has been a love affair it is amazing,gives good coverage but without feeling like my skin can't breath which I hate,and I use my Real Techniques Buffing Brush to apply it with and it really does give the 'air brushed' look love it.


Benefit 'Coralista' MAC 'Well Dressed' -I first had the coralista a few years ago and loved it then, and then purchased it a few weeks ago and for me it is the perfect coral shade for the summer gives my cheeks a lovely flushed look, and as for Well Dressed  it's a bit battered nowdays as had it for a while but i've been reaching for this on a day to day basis for work as just want a hint of colour to my cheeks which this is perfect for.


Mac Paint pot in Painterly- Not much to say really just perfect base for all my shadows and really does enhance the colour and staying power,love it.


Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo 'On and On Bronze- I have been loving this for the past month,the pigmentation is incredible and as you can tell by the name the staying power is amazing as well,applys like a dream and didn't crease at all just adore it.


Nail Polishes


l-r -Disco Heaven,Hedonist,Notting Hill Carnival,Westbourne Grove,Baleric Cool and Indian Ocean






Not going to bore you all by going through each polish one by one but as everyone who knows me knows I am a huge Nail polish addict,I dread to think how many I own,on the last count it was nearly 200 :/ but this month I am loving glitter filled polishes and vibrant neon shades as personally I love the bright summer shades in the summer months :)

What have you been loving? I love reading these kinda posts so leave me ya links in the comments!

February Faves






||Nails|| There are four polishes which I have been loving this month and they are OPI 'Fly' which is such a pretty shade for spring and summer I love it, and also OPI 'Save me' a stunning glitter packed polish with holographic strands which is amazing on it's own or I have been layering it over a pink toned nude or on my ring finger with another polish on the other fingers, adore both these.

Then from Butter London's new Spring collection I been wearing 'Trout Pout' which is a pretty coral/orange shade and will be so pretty in the summer. And 'Disco Biscuit' which is a stunning pink with beautiful specks in it when the light hits ya nails this looks amazing.


||Lips||The only Lipstick I have been wearing a lot of this month is MAC CremeCup I love it and can tell will be wearing it a lot more.
||Face Products||
This month i have been obsessed with MAC Mineralize blush in DAINTY such a stunning colour with a little shimmer in it but not overpowring which i like, It has been my most reached for blush recently.
For my eyeshadow I recently got a MAC Mineralize shadow in DAYLIGHT which is a stunning lavender/pinky shade and i've been wearing it everyday,I personally think it is stunning and love it.

And then the last product which I have been obsessed with this month is MAC Mineralize skinfinish in Soft and Gentle I am in love with this product it gives so a stunning glow to my cheekbones I love it.

As for brushes I love my Real Techniques Blush Brush it is amazing, so soft and blends my blush in so well, I wouldn't be without it.


||Skincare||
This month I have been loving my No7 'Beautiful Skin' Foaming Cleanser, It smells so nice and really helps my keep my skin nice and soft and really cleans my make up off .

I also picked up a Sanctuary 'Radiance  Facial Exfoliator' I've been using it everyday for lasst two weeks and I can tell the difference in my skin already,It has a lovely citrus scent to it and even though it's an exfoliator it feels very nice and soft of my face and is really helping against any breakouts which I might have.

And last but never least is my Soap and Glory 'Peaches and Clean 4-1 Deep Cleansing Milk' and to say I am in love with this is an understatement it smells AMAZING i want to drink it lol, I use this every night before bed and my skin feels so soft afterwards.
Using these three products is doing my skin wonders at the minute and I haven't had any breakouts which is fantastic.
