My Beauty Favourites - Makeup Products

Hi Everyone!

I just got back from my 4 week long holiday to Turkey! It was amazing and I got to see people who I've known for years but only get to see when I go out there. It's too cold in England! Please take me back!

Anyway, enough of my holiday blues, today's post is about my beauty favourites! All of these products I took away with me and they are all High Street so are fairly cheap to pick up.

Base 



The first product is my 'Rimmel - Wake Me Up Concealer' in 'Ivory'. This has been a great way to cover up some redness that I've caught from being out in the sun and works extremely well on any blemishes.

Then we have my 'Rimmel - Stay Matte Powder' in 'Silky Beige'. This has been great for helping the shine on my face at bay. It also has been contributing to helping my concealer in place which is a strong factor of this product.
The final base product is my 'Avon - Bronzing Powder' in 'Light Bronze'. As you can see this product has been used a lot and helps to define my cheek bones or boost my summer tan. I love this bronzer and I will definitely be investing in more.

Eyes




I love my eye shadows and mascaras as they make me look more awake and more confident.
The first of this collection is my 'Clinique - Colour Surge Eye Duo' in 'Strawberry Fudge'. This is just a small tester sample of the product but I love this duo as it compliments my skin tone and blends well. There is a small blush product across the top but I tend not to use the blush and often use it as an eye shadow with the other two powders.



My eyeliner is 'Maybelline - Gentle Precision Eyeliner' in 'Black - 33'. I have only recently started using pencil eyeliner and I love this already. It glides on very easily and as someone who is using an eyeliner for the first time I love it!

My mascara is the 'Seventeen -' in ' '. This mascara has been making my lashes look thicker and longer. When I was younger I used to pull out my eyelashes and I still have small gaps in places where they still haven't fully grown back. However, this mascara has been covering those spaces and making my eyelashes look fuller! I have been pairing this with another mascara which I found in my draw. Unfortunately the brand has rubbed off so I can't tell you who it's by, but the two mascaras work extremely well together.

Brows


I use this 'Technique Brows Kit' that I got in a magazine. I tend to use the medium and dark colours as I have blond/ brown hair. It is simple to apply and I love it so much more than using my brow pencil! There is always an even shape and shade when I use this so this is a staple!


 

Lips


I love my 'Maybelline - Baby Lips' and have them in 4 different shades/ types. These have been perfect for keeping my lips hydrated in the heat and the tinted ones are perfect for slipping into your bag when you're going out for a meal as the add a small dash of colour to your lips.




Then we have my 'Collection - Little Mix Lipstick' in 'Jade'. I love this colour as it looks so natural and adds a more prominent pink to your lips.



The final lip product goes perfectly with the 'Jade' lipstick if you only add a little bit and it is 'Tanya Burr - Afternoon Tea Lipgloss'. This product doesn't only look nice but also smells divine! It looks gorgeous with or without a lipstick underneath but if you do wear a lipstick underneath I recommend a dark pink colour.



I will be posting about my favourite fragrances at some point next week but this is it for now!

Summer Outfit - OOTD


Hi Everyone!

Recently, I decided I would go into my garden and create an 'OOTD' post of one of my favourite summer outfits. It was a nice day where I live in the UK so I took this as the perfect opportunity to make this post.

It's super comfy and keeps you feeling cool in the summer heat which is why I love it so much! I hope you enjoy.


I love my kimono so much but it took me forever to find the right one for me. This particular one has a flowers and butterfly print with blue fringing at the bottom. It looks gorgeous and goes well with lots of my clothing.
Primark - £13

Underneath the kimono I am wearing a plain white vest top and a pair of dark denim high waisted shorts. I believe the vest top is from.
Peacocks - around £3

The shorts were from New Look's summer collection last year - around £15.
You can get similar shorts this year and there are a few pairs in Primark which are very similar.



Shoes are from Primark - £8. 
They are a cushioned shoe with a lace pattern covering it and have a small bow on the front. I find this shoes comfortable after you've worn them a few times, however the first couple of times wearing them was quite uncomfortable but they're okay now.



My sunglasses are also from Primark's collection this year - £2.
They are a 5 sided shape and are fairly big (which I love). On the arms they have a dark brown leopard print and I love them so so so much!



Finally for my jewelry I have a pair of flower earrings from 'Claires' that I got quite a few years ago so I'm not sure about the price. They originally were black and white checked but the pattern has rubbed off over time.
My Celtic patterned ring is from a shop where I live called 'Pretty Twisted' but they have a website which sells most things they have in store. I'll put the link to the ring here and the link to the main website here as they have a lot of cute, amazing products to check out!
Ring - £3
On my left wrist I have a small silver bracelet with a small clear pink star which I got for Christmas one year but you cant't see on these pictures and a '5 Seconds of Summer' wrist band that I got at a concert - £3.
I will put the link here for the wrist band.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any links for the products but I hope the pictures helped!

Thank you for reading!
